" aBqhqtggqq Mmrtietytt an Clan-hon is looking [or local gradations with ideas for proj- ccta that could put laid-off auto -hems back to work. Gal-ban is the local co-ordinator tor the labor component of the federal ttovemment's Industry and Labor Adjustment Program. (ILA?) which is run by Employ- meat and Immigration Canada. One section of that plan. the Community Employment Program, (CEP) pro- vides funding to community groups and organizations for "useful com- munity tasks" that will provide short-term employment for eligible workers. Protect ideas . needed for local laid-off workers The purpose of the program. explained Clarkson, is to "take laidcoff workers from auto and Into-related industries who have exhausted their unemployment im sunnce benefits, and are now on welfare, and make it possible for them to re-qualify. “The aim is to get them bath onto unemployment insurance -.. down the line we hope to get them back to work," he continued. Workers from 18 area industries. five of which, Bauer Industries. Belgium Standard Industries, Cus- tom Leather Products Ltd., Triam gle Truck Equipment and Van Dresser Ltd., are in Waterloo. who have been laid off could be eligible to take part in the program. ILAP officials estimate that there are now 125 workers eligible to participate in CEP. But, said Clark- son. "that may change. There may be more through the fall and winter." According to Clarkson, any former employee of the designated industries. even if he is not a current resident of the Twin Cities, who is having problems getting employ- ment. can apply for the positions created through the program.

Sponsoring agencies may also contribute funds to increase wages paid to the em- ployee. Waterloo and Kitchener were de- signated in April to participate in ILAP and since then only a handful of groups have come forward with project proposals. The approved project will create jobs for 45 workers who will be doing landscaping, painting and repairs to board of education schools and facilities. The first of these projects. Clark, son said, which involves a $248,000 grant to the Waterloo County Board of Education, has been given final approval and two others are being developed. But, he stressed. "we are still looking for all kinds of suggestions. We'il look at any project that people may want to bring in mW. it's a community thing." V According to Al Green. ILAP co-ordinator in the Waterloo Canada Employment Centre, employee in- terest in the program to date has not been "all that great ... we haven't been pushed by employee clients. We've done everything possible to find out who the people (who qualify for the program are) and to offer our services." "People want to work. they don't want to be unemployment insurance recipients or recipients of any type of welfare program or any program that has an inference of charity ... they want a job." he said. Green feels the poor response to the program from those eligible to participate is due to the fact that "people have more backbone than believed. Organizations wishing to sponsor projects should contact Clarkson or members of the Kitchener-Waterloo Community Adjustment Committee at the ILAP offices, Commerce House.
