C6 - Wednesday, December 3, 1980 - North Shore News fi women Skilled trades in need of women workers TORONTO (UPC) - Women workers must be trained to make up a shortfall of labor in the skilled’ trades, Employment Minister Lloyd Axworthy said. The minister, speaking Tuesday at a Conference Board of Canada luncheon, also announced a one-year extension of federal-pro- vincial agreements’ to finance job-training pro- grams. Axworthy said improved wages for workers in Europe, once a source of skilled labor, and barriers to women working in trades, combined with other factors to create the shortage of skilled labor amid high unemployment. A host of speakers representing business, labor and government had ad- dressed sessions earlier in the day and had widely agreed circumstances now required industry to train Canadians to fill the skilled trades. College instructor's “We are talking about a substantial decline in labor growth,” Axworthy © said. “The previous problem was to put vast numbers of young people to work. The minister said women constituted a source of labor that was gone “untested, un- tried or ignored” by in- dustry. He said companies, in their own interests, should bring women into the trades to ease the skills shortage. “We have put together a system that discriminates against a large number of Canadians," he said. “T think discnmuination in the workplace has to end if we're going to meet out needs for skilled workers. This decade close to 70 per cent of growth in the labor market will be female.” The extension of the federal-provincial arrange- ment under the existing Adult Occpational Training Act was described by Ax- worthy as a_ temporary measure while new programs for expanding job training could be created. A decision on the framework for federal involvement in job training should be ready in “12 to 18 months,” he said. But to aid industry, he said, the federal government needed the constitutional “tools” to act. The minister said the government introduced its energy and_ constitutional proposals to improve its ability to act on employment problems and obtain money to finance job training pro- grams, among other reasons. “We don't have a magic wand we wave and silled machinists and tradesmen fall from the trees. For us to respond to your demands re- quires us to have the tools and the resources to do the job. “We are trying to put together a new framework — constitutionally and economically — in_ this country.” work on display in Munich Produced in felt Capilano College is proud to announce that Rose Naumann, a faculty member in the An Department, has had her work chosen for display and = sale’ from December 4 to 24 in Munich The works 1s being shown at Gallene des Handwerks, a comlemporary artisans gallery operated by the state of Bavana Uhis is a world class gallery that features work from artists around the Blobe The cight piece display has been shown at Capilano Colleges Art Gallery over the past weeks and represents the first time a show has been mounted in Vancouver which is entirely produced in felt Her images oof flight embody an cascmc ot trccdom She has made them by using flecec which os washed carded and melded together with agitation moon and pressure lta technique thati older than weaving basketry ot port tery and ts thought te huaase onginated in Asia Miner The bright: celors are in troduced ina dyeing process thatas dene after the wool is washed and belore om ois Marts Staftora Qquelitted and aI fetered electrologist invites “ ™ alls for a persone! end private (— . f ) consultation felted.
