STREET TALK SELKIRK COLLEGE will offer a bachelor’s degree in business starting this September, Gerry Ehman, coordinator of Selkirk College’s Open Learning Centre, announced this week. “This means area residents will be able to earn a recognized Bachelor’s Degree in admin- istrative studies without leaving the Selkirk College region,” Ehman said. A joint arrangement between the Open Uni- versity and Selkirk College allows students to gain three years of credit towards the degree through courses at the college. The final year of course work would be taken through the Open University's curriculum in an “enhanced deliv- ery” mode. “Course delivery can be by teleconferencing, weekly seminars and even direct classroom lec- tures, depending upon the number of students enrolled in a course,” Ehman said. The whole idea of making the degree avail- able here is to give people already established in business a chance to further their profession- al careers. Provincial universities will also rec- ognize the degree as the necessary prerequisite for graduate studies leading to a Masters in Business Administration. The college is now trying to get an idea of how many people are interested while it pre- pares the third-year curriculum. Applications are open to anyone interested in pursuing a degree in business. “Of course, graduates.of a recognized post- secondary business program will be able to begin their degree studies at the third-year lev- el,” said George Mclvor, head of the Business Administration program at Selkirk College. “First we need to know the level of interest in this degree program that might be out there in the college region,” he said. “Then we need some idea of each individual’s personal circum- stances so we can adequately plan to meet the needs of both traditional and non-traditional students.” Full details about the degree are expected to be finalized by August 1. SELKIRK COLLEGE's Nelson Campus has received approval to offer two new courses this fall, campus director Dick Germsheid said. The college will be offering a 12-week Welder-Fitter course and a nine-month Elec- trical Entry program to prepare students to enter the skilled work force or upgrade their trade qualifications. “With the Celgar mill expansion underway, a heavy demand for-skilled tradespeople is fore- cast for the next several years,” Germsheid said. “Providing these training opportunities now will allow men and women to complete their trades qualification during this period of high industrial activity.” The Welder-Fitter program is slatéd to begin Sept. 16 at the Nelson Campus and runs until Dec. 6. Candidates must possess a “C”, “B” or “A” level welding ticket to be considered for admission to the program. Those with Grade 12 are preferred. The course is designed to provide the quali- fied welder with the skills necessary to operate and maintain industrial fabrication equipment such as the press brake, hydroshear and press rolls. In addition, welders will acquire skills in the layout and fabrication of motorbases, stair- cases, handrails and conveyors. The Electrical Entry program, slated to run Oct. 1 until June 26, is designed to provide a potential apprentice with the skills and knowl- edge to work safely, recognize and use correct tools and effectively complete jobs. “It is simply not economical for a contractor to hire an unproductive, untrained person at apprenticeship rates,” Germsheid said. The Electrical Entry program is recognized by the Apprenticeship Branch and the Interna- tional Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Both programs are sponsored by Canada Manpower.
