APPOINTMENTS

CUTBACKS- and
layoffs may be looming
in most parts of the
health care field in
British Columbia, but
‘the 24 graduates of the
Cap College long term
care program are

almost guaranteed
work when they
graduate.

The 16 week limited
enrolment course trains
people to work with those
who require personal care —
especially the elderly — and
graduates receive a Cer-
tificate in Long Term Care
upon completion.

Course instructor Terry
Adler says those 24
graduates should have no
problem getting jobs.

“The long term care area
is the best. bet for em-

' ployment in the health care
field,” she says.

. She points to the North
Shore Intermediate Care
Society's new facility at 19th

require between 30 and 40
people when it opens this
winter — just after the Cap
College course ends.

And Lions Gate Hospital
is building a long term care
addition, scheduled to open
in 1984.

With the proportion of
elderly people rising, the
need for long term care aides
will only increase, says
Adler. “It's the: field of the
immediate future.”

Pre-requisites for. the full-
time ‘course are’a minimum
age of 19,:a doctof’s report,
TB test, and Grade 8 English -
or equivalent. It ~begins
September... 8 and ends
December 17. -

The course will appeal to
all sorts of le, says
Alder,. from school
graduates to older people
who want a meaningful job
working with people.

It is an opportunity to
learn more about people at
various stages of life, and
helping. them to help
themselves. .

The course is for humane
and caring people, she says.

The course will be divided
about half and ‘half between
practice and theory. Among
the topics will be growth: and

development, needs of
people at different ages,
coping with aging, death and
terminal illness, com-
munication skills, nutritition
and diet requirements, basic
human needs and how to
help people to meet those
needs.

These will be practised in
the ‘classrooms, with the
students trying out their

‘newly learned skills | on each

other.

Adler, a social worker,
will teach about growth and
development. Other in-
-structors will be two nurses,

assistance matters, and a
nutritionist, who will deal
with diets.

the first time at the college
