munIlunmmmmuu11ququnuuuuuuunuunmmmuuuuun At a recent meeting of the York County Board of Educa- tion‘s Advisory Vocational Com- mittee, three representatives of Canada Manpower told of their experiences in placing students from vocational and occupations courses. 12 Good Openings For Vocational Graduates â€"Manpower Workers Graduates from special voca- tional schools seem to fit into business and industry better than students who have taken occupations courses at compo- site secondary schools. ‘ mumunmmummmnuummmmnuuuuumunmmuuu“mm Mrs. Jean Chappell and Mrs. Beatrice Cotton came from the Willowdale office, which serves York County west of Woodbine Avenue and east of Dufferin Street to the King Townline. Earl Tattrie represented the Newmarket office. which serves York C o u n t, y municipalities north of the King Townline. Mr. Tattrie said that boys who have completed the two year oc- cupations courses often have a feeling of inferiority and there is some difficulty in placing them. especially those in the 16 to 18 age group. The majority do not fit in with what the em- ployer wants. On the other hand. in special vocational schools. such as the new Don Head Secondary School. the graduates usually have a good attitude. In North York those who do well in their second year of a vocational course are invited back for a third year. Mrs. Chappell reported that] girls from the two year occu- pations courses prefer employ- ment near their homes. The at- titudes of the girls is fairly good. and there are opportuni- ties for those who have had some commercial work. The Manpower representa- tives reported that graduates from special vocational schools seem to fit into business and industry better than those from the occupations clages. and they usually have a good atti- tude to work. There is a great need. they said. for young people who have been trained for various service trades such as restaurant work. Welder fitters are in demand. It is an advantage if they have been trained to read blueprints. Students who have had train- !ng in key punch operation are also needed. Graduates from four year business and commerce and four year science. technology and trades fit in well and the fact that they have completed grade 12 makes them more ac- ceptable to employers. fight in a vass Because of inclement weather the firefighters were unable to cover a por- tion of the east side of town. This is the first canvass of the town in support of muscular dystrophy in the past eight years and the firefighters expressed sat- isfaction with the results. Manpower placement person- nel work closely with guidance teachers. said Mrs. Chappell. In the past year she has visited Bayview. Thornhill and Lang- staff Secondary Schools to pro- vide information and to assist in placement. If you were rqissed Chief Alfred Stong said his men will be happy to accept your donation at the Rich- mond Hill Fire Hall on Wright Street. The experience of the Man- power representatives. said Vaughan Trustee Morley Kin- nee. chairman of the Advisory Vocational Committee. will as. sist the board in planning courses for Vocational Schools. Don Head Secondary School in Richmond Hill is the only special vocational school in York County. and the board is now considering the need for a second similar school in another area. Special vocational schools of- fer three year programs to students who are unable to cope with regular secondary school courses. As well as basic studies in English and mathematics. they have courses in such things as upholstery. building construc- tion. automobile maintenance. harticulture. food preparations. etc. The committee agreed to in- vite businessmen to tour the commercial and technical de- partments of a composite se- condary school in January. “The ~committee also agreed to send Lewis Clement. a non- board member of the Adviso‘ry Vocational Committee, to the1 American Vocational Associa- tion Convention in Boston from December 5 to 10. Mr. Clement, a resident of Richmond Hill. was for many years a trustee of the former York Central District High School Board and the Richmond Hill Public School Board.
