THORNHILL— Bruno
Koch, proprietor of
Skeena Valley. Meats in
Thornhill, believes in the
intensive and careful type

of professional training -

for his trade that is prac-
ticed in Europe. He cel-
ebrated the new year by
presenting certification
papers to Shane. Nychy-

-poruk, the second appren-

tice meat-cutter to learn
the trade under Koch’s
direction in his four years
of doing business in the
community.

“To call Shane a meat-
cutter is to understate his
qualifications,’’. Koch
said. “He is actually a
meat processor; he is able
to do everything involved
in putting out a finished
product, from work in the
slaughterhouse to. produc-
tion of speciality items
such: as sausage and
bacon,” ;

Before his venture with
Skeena. Valley Meats,
Koch practiced his trade in
Switzerland for ten years.
The apprenticeship system
in Europe for all trades,
he said, is far more widely
used.;and more compre-

‘hensive than the system

used in Canada. ‘‘In
Europe, apprenticeships

‘are available for students

apprent
provided

who do not finish school.
This ensures that these
people have a trade and
are able to make a living:
In Canada the system is
different, and it doesn’t
seem to be as effective,’’
he said.

Although Shane Nychy-
poruk received the same
certification as meat cut-
ters trained: under other
circumstances, Koch
claimed that his abilities

are far more comprehen- .

sive than the certificate in-
dicates, and he expressed
hope that people trained
under ‘the three-year
European-style appren-

ticeship he offers will be

put under a separate pro-
fessional classification
sometime in the future.

- Koch's confidence in his -

first-hand training is evi-
dent in Nychyporuk’s new
promotion - he’ll be tak-
ing over management of

Koch’s store in Cassiar

beginning Feb. 1.

_ Earl Laue,’ Koch’s first _

apprentiée, is now running
his store in Prince Rupert.
Skeena Valley Meats cur-
rently has a‘ second-year
apprentice on staff, and
another new apprentice is
scheduled to begin train-
ing with Koch at the be-
ginning of February.
