experience coordinator at Seycove
Community Secondary School in
Deep Cove: “The hardest part of

: this job is getting work placements
for these kids.
“We need help from everyone
out there who is willing to offer
\ job placement opportunities to stu-
dents.” /

_Students, most of them in grade 11,
; heed the non-paid placements, she
said.

If students Hillary Uren _and
‘ Joyee Lau are typical, the students
are ‘keen to -pursue their work
placements.
: «Hillary wants to pursue teach-

ing. science .or music ata Sec--

‘ondary level. She believes the

“ Career and Personal .Planning

(CAPP) program will help her fi nd
work and be successful.

_Joyee points out that the famil- ;

iar no-experience-no-job bind may

be alleviated by providing students .’

with real work experience before
graduation, cs
--Joyee is casting an eye to vetri-

Businesses providing place-
ments, Ratzburg said, can feel they
have contributed to local youths

Both’ Seycove and the school
district_as a whole hope to estab-
lish an employer database students
can access.
