Of the coop program in general at SDHS Coop education gets students out of the Paul says "in Seaforth it's still vn.ma ...+h classroom and into a workplace where they feel they could benefit from work ex- perience. Paul was given an award from SDHS this year for being the most en- thusiastic co-op student. He was placed at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area where he worked longer hours than were required for the co-op program, and where he will be working full time this summer with other students under his supervision. Paul will be attending Sault Ste. Marie College off Ap- plied Arts and Technology in September to begin schooling to become a fish and wildlife technician. Paul says last year he decided to become a fish and wildlife technician because he spends a lot of time in the outdoors camping, fishing and hunting, and a career in wildlife management appeals to him. He took his co-op rather than regular Grade 13 curriculum courses "just so I'd get some experience before college in September, and just to make sure this is what I really wanted to do before I go to college." Paul started his co-op in Hullett February 8 with Rob Gibson, conservation technician in charge of the Hullett wildlife area, as his supervisor. Paul worked as an assistant to Mr. Gibson, carrying out duties to maintain the Hullett facility. This included wildlife habitat improve- ment to make the habitat more attractive to wildlife -which in practical terms means pruning hedgrows, cutting trees for grouse habitat, pruning apple trees, etc.-. Develop- ing wildlife habitat was another of his duties and this meant constructing nesting boxes. Ede dad a survey of the number of great blue heron nests in the conservation area, and helped in pheasant rearing for wildlife stocking. The latter meant building pens, collecting eggs for the incubators and ether chores to help in raising pheasants. Paul says his co-op worked out well, and even though he hopes to work farther north in the Parry Sound area, he learned from Hullett that he is cut out for wildlife management. "It showed me before I spent the time in college and the money in College that this is what I want to do," he says. "We're always outside, there's a variety of work. We hardly ever do the same thing day after day." Paul also feels his experience in Hullet will benefit him academically when he goes to college. Mr. Gibson will be helping him start a leaf collection so he can learn to iden- tify trees from their leaves, and•do a similar insec$ 9ttudy. And in the first year of. forestry techs logy study these are projects which students are graded on. Paul says colleges pay less attention to grade point averages than do universities, and a co-op may give students practical ex- periences which will get them accepted to a college program they want faster than will just having good grades. That's what I'm trying to do.here," says Mr. Gibson, "give him the practical ex- perience so he'll have a jump on other students. We're educating them at the same time. We're not just after free labour. We try to explan to him why we do things, so he's not just out there chopping." Mr. Gibson says the co-op program has worked<out well for the conservation area as well this year, and says his co-op students provided a lot of help. "I really enjoy it. I want to continue this next year and hope to get a students from each high school in the area." For his co-op program Paul had to put in 240 hours, going to work each school day from 9 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. But Paul went to in its second year, and they've still got some problems." In his opinion the school still has to decide which employers provide good work placements, and weed out the ones who are just after a free part time employee. He says he heard from a few students who felt "they're just used as free labour, they're not learning anything." "But most of them are happy with it. Some found out that it wasn't what they wanted to do, but for most it worked out pretty good. It worked out really well for me." At the annual SDHS co-op breakfast, held for students and employers who par- ticipated in co-operative education, Paul was presented with his award. "The important thing is the maturing of students. Students really start to mature once they get in the work place, and they also now see the direct relationship between the employer and the school," said SDHS co- op coordinator Ray Verschuere at the breakfast. He added that there are now more employers than students who want to be involved with the program, and more and more students in their graduating years are recognizing the importance of experience in the workplace. Five years ago there were 4,000 Ontario students involved in co- operative education, but this year there were 60,000.
