The program to be con- ducted between May 2 and August 31 will be financed by a proposed expenditure of $15,000,000 by the Ministry of Labor, approximately by other government minis- tries. - Of the funds available to the Labor | Ministry, $10,000,000 will be directed | towards job creation outside of provincial government service, Williams said. Small businesses, farms, mwnici- palities, regional districis, hospitals, non-profit organi- zations, school boards and Universities will be eligible to receive funding to place- in newly-. young persons created positions. FULL-TIME JOBS . It is expected that 7,200 jobs will be created by employers taking advantage of the government's proposal .to cosi-share eaten Th SIAIAaLICS.

The minister: said the summer employment | pro- gram _ is towards assisting students to earn money to continue their education and to help them gain job skills. The program recognizes the need for high school students to secure summer employment as well as college, university and other post-secondary school students. : SCHOOL BILLS “Young persons face a higher unemployment rate than any segment of the work force,’’ said Williams. ‘‘Stu- dents are available to com- pete in the workplace only during the spring and sum- mer. months and often are unable to find jobs to help them pay their next year’s school bills. We hope to expand the number of job opportunities available to them. The youth employment program also makes provi- sion for physically, mentally and socially handicapped young persons, school drop- outs and youth with no previous work experience. The employment of Native Indians will be encouraged. ‘The principle behind this “4s ‘to’ facilitate*-the orderly «movement of handicapped nye and a total of . $10,000,000 largely directed youth into the labour force while they are young and capable of preparing them- selves as productive mem- bers of the work force,’’ Williams explained. Funding applications are being mailed to all munici- _palities, regional districts, improvement districts, pub- lic school. boards, public hospitals, community _ col- leges and farms in the province.
