Victoria plans — jobs for university grads Up to 100 four-month jobs will be created for university graduate students enrolled in co-operative education programs, Labour Minister. Allan Williams announced last week. ‘The British Columbia government is the first in Canada to establish a formal program mechanism for the employment of graduate co- operative education students — within government ministries, Williams stated. Provincial government participation in the program «ex. Will be through the Ministry - of Labour’s’ Youth Em- ployment Program. It will begin May 1 and will involve about’ 100 four-month jobs for graduate students up to the end of March, 1980. » Co-operative education permits university students to combine academic in- struction with practical work experience in their field. It generally involves two terms of classroom _ in- Struction and one term of work in each year. The objective. of the program is to enable students to test aptitude in their chosen field and to gain the kind of experience they need to find employment after graduation. - ‘ “The province of British Columbia, as an employer, can offer jobs which provide a wide range of work ex- perience and skill training for students,” Williams said. “Youth now comprises half of the unemployed and their lack of practical work experience is a_ serious handicap in finding em- ployment. “A joint committee of the ministries of labour and education will work with the universities to ensure that the government jobs offer students maximum op- portunities for training and education.” Government participation in the program will be funded under the Youth Employment Program, Co-operative education programs are currently offered by the University of Victoria, the University of British Columbia and Simon Frasor University. Regional colleges and provincial institutes are expected to establish similar programs. tigen — While stocks last in-store STOCK ONLY — Approx. 27"’ Wide Clear Vinyl Carpet Runner Tremco instant s Patch Gallon rare re he tld ed hdl as ’ OO RRO Le ep Artificial * Ozite Turf Carpet 388149 13°° 69°.
