On Oct. 22, two local high
schools will tour the DBA Com-
munications Systems Inc.
telecommunications facilities in
North Vancouver.

Meanwhile, Applied Science
Technologists and Technicians of

British Columbia (ASTT) is em-
phasizing the need to attract more
students to careers in science and
technology.

The organization's executive
director John Leech points out
that the country has seen a reduc-
tion in the number of students
enrolling in technology programs.

The group encourages young
students to continue with math
and science courses through to the
Grade 12 level in order to keep
options open for post-secondary
education leading to a career in
technology.

ASTT points out that salaries in
the technological field tend to be
higher in range when compared
with those in other industries. A
projected shortage of skilled
technical workers is expected to
boost wages.

The group surveys its members
every two years.

As of the beginning of the year
a certified technologist earned an
average monthly salary of $3,901;
a certified technician earned an
average monthly salary of $3,738.
