Students for Hire! - N Terrace Bay-Schreiber area. SL ethers Veronica Leybourne, Studen t Placement Officer Sor 4 Writer requests info on Voyageurs Dear Editor: This is with regard to the Bicentennial Pro- ject of the Lakehead University students who are making the trip of the Voyageurs from La- chine, Quebec to Thun- der Bay. I have followed this exciting project from the time prior to their April 30th departure, when I first heard about it on CBQ Radio. It looks like they're going to make it. It sounds quite exciting but dangerous. The 18 girls and 18 fellows trained on Lake Super- ior until freeze-up and then during the winter at the University. They have a two hour presentation for Ele- mentary Schools and have been welcomed ac- ross the country at small towns and large cities. What stories they must have to tell about their voyage. What a per- fect location for their presentation but at the inlet in Terrace Bay where no doubt, in times gone by, Voyageurs and Indians alike must have taken shelter enroute from Pukaskwa area to Are students in the Lake Superior Board of Education going to take advantage of this fasci- nating adventure in their own back yards? I haven't heard anything to that effect, and I wrote some time ago to the Board Office and to date, have received no reply. I was hoping students from Manitouwadge and Marathon would be tra- velling to Terrace Bay, but I realize they have different trips planned. Have the students miss- ed the "Thrill of a Life- time" that others far away have enjoyed? What will the university students feelings be, as to our lack of interest? Yours truly, Marlene Turner, Parent Manitouwadge, Ont. P.S. Probably my let- tes is too late for any interest even to citi- zens, to witness their passing as I believe they were leaving Sault Ste. Marie on June 6th. Date of arrival at Fort Wil- liam is scheduled for July 1st weekend (stop- ping at Wawa no doubt). The Canada Employ- ment Centre for Stud- ents has reopened once again this summer, un- der the direction of Veronica Leybourne, Student Placement Of- ficer for the Terrace Bay/Schreiber area. Veronica's job as Placement Officer en- tails such duties as: being a liaision between the employer and the student; promoting student employment to prospective client busi- nesses; to help students in job search techniques by educating them on such aspects as personal appearance and self presentations for the ini- tial job interview; and also by informing them on various government programmes which in- clude Summer Canada. Works, Experience '84, the Ontario Youth Em- ployment Programme, the Student Venture Capital Programme, as well as many others. "I pound. the pave- ment and try to convin- ce employers to hire a student. Employers don't stop to consider the various types of work that could employ students, and this ran- ges from dog walking to babysitting and from taking inventory to cleaning windows. My services are free to the employers and by hiring a summer student, the employer will not only save valuable dollars, but will also provide em- ployment for our local youth." Veronica provides free job exposure for businesses and can save the employer valuable time by screening the students beforehand and sending you only qualified prospects. She can also offer a place for the employer to conduct his/her interview within the Employment Centre and she will at that time, inform them of the var- ious student programs. Statistics from 1983 show that 156 students registéred for employ- ment with 112 positions available. Over 50 per cent of the vacancies were filled by the help of the Student Employ- ment Centre. This year again, the programme is being well utilized, with already over 20 students regis- tered. The average age of the registrants is 16 to 17 years for females; and aged 17 years, for males. Ongoing in the area this year are four Sum- mer Canada Works Pro- grammes that are de- sigtied to create 'mean- ingful work for stud- ents by financing so- cially useful pro- grammes. In Terrace Bay are two of these; one within the McCaus- land Hospital, the other through the Rec Centre that involves play- ground work and land- scaping. Pays Plat has hired three native students under this system, to paint the interior and exterior of the commun- ity hall, and Schreiber - (under the 'Schreiber Greens Programme") will hire three labourers and one manager, to assist in clearing the White Sand Beach area, to cut logs for play- ground equipment, to construct a backstop and carry out field mainten- ance at the high school, and to erect two new : -fitness stations. If you are in need of a student for your busi- ness, or if you're an individual in need of © someone to cut your Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, June 13, 1984, page 7' eed One? grass, weed your gar- den, babysit, or clean windows, then you're a potential employer. The Centre is open Monday to Friday from 1 to 5 p.m. and Veronica invites students and em- _ployers to drop by and talk with her about job placements. Hire a student - you won't be disappointed.
