Volunteers expressed their sor- row at the absence of vice-presi- dent, Muriel Wilson, who lost her own battle with cancer on July 29. Her quiet, efficient ways will be sorely missed.

Growing The farmers market and flea market held every Saturday moming from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Castlegar Train Station Museum contin- ues to draw visitors and exhbitors. Deb M the s Since the program began, the college has built up a number of trusted placements for its stu- dents: some of these include West Kootenay Power, Ministry of Environment; Yule and Associates Chartered Accoun- tants; and Ministry of Forests. Under the program, the stu- dents’ progress on the job is monitored by the insitutuion, and supervised and evaluated by both the employers and the institution. Scott Gray is a Selkirk College business student who has been placed at Yule and Associates Chartered Accountants for his co-op education experience. His placement is for one year, and in that time not only will he gain knowledge into this field of work, his resume will show that, not only is he edu- cated, he has experience. “It's the on-job experience you really can't beat,” said Scott. “The education is one thing, but experience is another, It really helps on a resume.” Under the supervision of Jeff Yule, Gray is learning aspects of the job he might not other- wise have known had he not entered the co-op program. And learning is made that much eas- ier when an employer such as Yule takes time to work with his student. “[Yule and Associ- ates are super to work for. Someone always has time to lis- ten and answer questions.” As for Yule and Associates, or any other business involved in the program, they are given an opportunity to evaluate potential career employees; while at the same time, meet d and long-rang human resource needs. But perhaps the most impor- tant factor here is the businesses direct involvement in the ‘edu- cation process’, by allowing direct input into course study. The program benefits the college in that it the builds closer ties with business and industry, and in turn can enhance program curricula to meet the changing demands of the workplace. Castlegar on line in ambitious project Hundreds of parents and teachers in the Castlegar area will be the first to participate in an ambitious project to pinpoint what students need to know for the workplaces of the future.
