Malcolm Ashford, executive director of the Pacific Rim Institute, says the course is designed to address a shortcoming: “We, as an industry, have done a very poor job of human resource planning." Local volunteers get ready to teach tourism . ‘Last Wednesday the Pacific Rim _ Institute of Tourism held a seminar for volunteer instructors interested. in teaching a tourism industry course to be offered to Grade 10 students in the Northwest. The Pacific Rim Institute of Tourism is a non-profit society, funded mainly by the provincial Ministry of Tourism. Other fund- ing sources are the corporate sector and the Federal government. Course facilitator Malcolm Ashford explained "We, as an industry, have done a very poor job of human resource planning.” The reasons that the course has come into existence are: 1) Tourism has become the num- ber one industry in the world, and y ” the number two industry in the province of B.C. 2) Tourism has had the highest dollar Increase of any industry across the country this year. 3) The tourism industry is facing shortages of labor. The 18-to-24 age category is decreasing at about five per cent per year. Most people presently in the tourism industry workforce fall into that age range. _ 4) With ‘the Goods and Services Tax scheduled to be introduced in 1991, forecasts indicate that many provinces will experience a nega- tive effect on their tourism indus- tries or, as in the province of B.C., the probability of remaining neu- tral or experiencing an increase of only one percent is great. Forty-five... lower mainland schools were involved in last year’s pilot phase of a tourism course for Grade 10. students. Ashford says "A typical Grade 10 student doesn’t know what the tourism industry is all about." This is the first year of province-wide delivery of the tourism program, with professionalism as a priority. Two to three hundred volunteers throughout B.C. will deliver the program on a volunteer basis to 35,000 Grade 10 students in 400 British Columbia high schools. The B.C. Institute has been working with nine regional tourism assaci- ations and Chambers of Commerce in each region to implement the program. Northwest Community College - representative Elaine shortage of available expertise are reasons that tourism courses. aren’t offered in this area. — The 55-minute presentation for the school students includes a video illustrating the varied entry level, technical and professional level positions in the tourism in- dustry, facts and figures about wages and benefits, information on Super Host training, program bro- chures and a question-and-answer period. Ashford says he would like the -students to consider the tourism industry as a potential career students with the opportunity to get a recognized professional accredit- ation from the Pacific Rim Insti- tute of Tourism. He added that a Tourism and Hospitality secondary school curri- culum is "in the works". Ashford himself is a member of the Tour- ism Industry Standards Committee, which plans to have national job standards in tourism industry jobs and professions within the next six years.

Groups of young peo- ple from Canada and one of 20 different Third World countries live and work together for up to eight months. They spend half of the time ina small community in Canada and the other half ina village or town in the exchange country, learning about develop- ment in both countries. Rather than attending school, par- ticipants in the program learn by working as volunteers in the communities and living in pairs with host families, Canada World Youth is now in its 18th year of operation, and is funded through CIDA (Cana- dian International Development Agency). The program was last in Terrace, Smithers, Hazelton and Prince Rupert in the falls of 1982 and 1983. The first year, the exchange was between Canada and India. The second year, the exchange was between Canada and Indonesia. Two local young men are now on Canada World Youth ex- changes. Keith Guyer, on a Costa Rica exchange, will be returning to this area at the end of March. Forest Richard (Phillips), in Indonesia will be finished his exchange in mid- April. Last year, Keith’s brother, Robert went on CWY exchange to Jamaica. And Valerie Angus from Hazelton, Maikapar explains that money and choice.
