“This is a program to aid
employers in creating jobs,
using cost sharing as an
incentive,” explained Boone,
referring to the employment
opportunity program. “Our
program covers the entire

‘employment spectrum,

except the federal govern:
ment.”

Boone stated the program
provides funding to
businesses, non-profl
organizations, farms, and
provincial agencies, who
hire and train young people
in a wide variety of positions.

“It doesn't matter if its a
car jockey ta a dental
techniclan. We want em-
ployers to give young people
an opportunity to see the in
and outs of an entire
operation,” hesald, .  -

Boone stated the program
pays up to50per cent of the
cost of wages to businesses
eligible to hire a young

. person under the program,

toa mixtmum of $1,780 while
the program Is in operation
from May until August. Non-
profit organizations can
receive 100 per cent funding,
sald Boone. .

Boone also’ explained how
employers can become in-
volved with the program.

“Early inthe year we have
& publicity campaign, in-
cluding door to door visits
and a mailing list,’ Boone
said.

“There is very little
paperwork,’’ Boone said.
“All that the employer has to
do is fill out an initial form,
and then one short form
every month. It doesn't take
more than about five or six
hours over the entire sum-
mer.”

Boone also stated the jobs
created for youth had to be
jobs in addition to the
regular work force em-
ployed, He noted that at any
jobs where unlon personnel
were on staff, the union‘was

copieilted: “by ‘the employér,
and” applications te iiired
the signature of a union
officer.

To be eligible for the
program, Boone stated the
employer had to provide a
minimum of 40 days fulltime
employment between May
and August. He added the
employers were free to
choose anyone they felt could

the job, although the
employee must be between
the ages of 15 and 24,

Jim McEwan, owner of
Jim McEwan GM, employs
two students on the program.

“The program gives the
employees an opportunity to
look at our business that we
would not have had the
chance to provide before,”
McEwan said. “it also gives
us a screening procedure.”

McEwan explained that
both the students who are
currently employed under
the program would be
considered for permanent
employment when funding
from the program ended,
and added that he had used
the program in the past.

Boone stated that em-
ployers who were interested
in becoming involved with
the program next year could
get information now by
phoning the ministry of labor
end asking to be put on the
mailing list.
