TERRACE — The Canada Employment.

Centre’s annual summer effort to connect
eager-to-work students with employers who
need temporary help begins Monday.

Kathryn McKay (eft, above) and Rosa
Moeliker are this year’s student placement
officers, and both say they’re prepared for
an action-packed summer.

The Employment Centre for Students
_registers students who want to work and —

then takes job orders from employers. The
jobs can vary in length from full-time,
summer-long employment to one-day stints
in lawn mowing or babysitting. McKay and
Moeliker say the students are pre-screened
for employers free of charge to save time.

_ a

ance:

They also confirmed that the traditional
tri-city job challenge is on again this year,
with Terrace having challenged Prince
Rupert and Kitimat to see which city can

create the largest number of casual jobs dur-

ing the summer.

The student placement officers say,
“Students are talented capable, energetic
and willing to do all types of work. By giving

perience, the employer, the student and
Canada benefit.”
Students wishing to register and employers
who want to hire students can call 635-7134
‘or drop by the Canada Employment Centre
at 4630 Lazelle Ave.
