Industrial group develop new programs More than 100 working individuals, almost all from Huron County companies, are developing microcomputer skills as the result of efforts by the Huron County Com- munity Industrial Training Committee (CITC) and Conestoga College Last fall, the CITC .approached Conestoga • to assist in the development of a business - oriented computer course. CITC Chairman • Ian Moreland of Western Foundry in Wingham, Conestoga's Huron County Conti- .nuing Education Manager Robert Simpson, and computer teacher GlenMachan organized an information day in Clinton, which attracted the interest of ,a large number ef Huron County businesses. • , The result is a course entitled Microcom- puter Applications for Business. Currently, the course is being offered on- site at 13 locations in Huron County and one location in neighbouring Perth County. All activity is being funded through the Train- ing in Business and Industry program (TM ). Microcomputer ApplicaoJ3s is a flexible Course, providing 30 - 60 hors of learning, depending upon the job -associated needs of the individual. The major, topics covered are microcomputer hardware and soft-. ware, disk usage and care, word prOCessing, spreadsheets, data storage and retrieval,. and other applications relevant 'to a par- ticular business or work tunction ine course involves both theoretical learning and hands-on skill development. Asraverage -of six participants are involv- ed at each site, but course work is done in smaller groups's° that day-to-day company operations will not be impeded. Learning takes place in two-hour blocks, but each par- ticipant is expected to do one hour ' of "homework" foreach hour of class time. These extra periods of familiarization are possible because an IBM PC microcom- puter has been provided at each site for the duration of the course. For scheduled class sessions, course teacher Machan provides two additional IBM PCs, which allow each individual participant access to a microcomputer. The participating companies, from ' various Huron County locations, represent a' wide range of business operations and ser- vices. Examples are: Fleck Manufacturing, Keil Insurance, Goderich Elevator, Huronia Welding, Maitland Engineering, Bentley Accoimtants, Hill and Hill Farms Ltd., and Jim Hayter Chev/Olds. These are primarily small companies, all but one having fewer than 100 employees: One course section, in fact, is multi -client, comprising one or two participants from several Huron County companies. This spring, the Huron County CITC will be meeting to review developments and suc- cesses associated with Microcomputer Ap- plications.for Business, and to identify future learning needs of local business and industry.
