Participants must work 16 to 20 hours a week, and attend school to earn. at least three high school credits. The option will be available to youths who have less than a Grade 12 education, have been out of school for at least 12 con- secutive weeks or have accumu- lated a total of 16 jobless weeks in the past year. Local school boards will be closely involved in implementing the new Futures option. The new part-time work/part-time school option is ee Cat ee to attract 7,000 participants dur- ing the next year. Mr. Sorbara emphasizes that youths who choose the new option must be well-motivated and prepared to work hard. "It will be a challenge for them, there is no doubt. But the reward is progress toward a high school diploma; so critical for secure employment in today's society,"he says.

The eligibility change takes in young people who are frequently unemployed but never long enough to qualify under the Futures requirement of 12 consecutive jobless weeks. The enhanced training option pro- vides up to an extra 10 weeks of training opportunities when employers are willing and able to offer more intensive training.
