RE: Student Employment Programs

We have recently been advised of two student summer employment programs offered
by the Provincial Government. Both come under the general heading of the
"Careers 74" program and are as follows:

1, SWEEP 74 ~ "Students Working in an Environmental Enhancement Program" will
reimburse participating municipalities $400.00 per month per student
employed; a total of $800.00 per student for a two month period commencing
July 2, 1974 and municipalities are asked to assume costs of any employee
benefits and administration. The allocation of this program has been made
by Regional District and there are apparently 1,490 positions assigned to the
G.V.R.D. of which we are entitled to an undetermined share,

The information on this program was contained in a Jetter from the Minister

of Labour, Honourable W.S. King, dated March 15, 1974 and the letter states
that a further letter of explanation and application forms will be forwarded
within two weeks and that completed applications must be submitted for receipt

by May 13, 1974.

STEP 74 - "Student Temporary Employment Program". In this program the
Provincial Government will reimburse student salaries between $400.00 and
$500.00 per month (depending on the educational, qualifications of the students
employed) plus 15% administrative costs. We were advised of this program

by the Greater Vancouver Regicnal District and they have allocated nine students

to us out of the 517 assigned to the G.V.R.D.

We have the application forms for this project and Mr. G.W. Carlisle, Director

of Finance and Administration of the G.V.R.D. advises that the deadline for
submitting applications is April 5, 1974 although he does hold out the possibility
of getting a few days extension of this time.
