Resource centre

for businesses |
welcomes clients

by Mary Swift .

_The Resource Centre of the
Training and Enterprise Centre,
or TEC, is “up and running” says
its coordinator Jo Anne Haworth

~ Wakaruk..

Wakaruk, hired in April, 1991,
has been busy acquiring and
organizing an array of print and
audio-visual material, all aimed at
providing residents of the region
with business and career develop-
ment information. She has access

. to both government and private

industry publications, and can
direct clients to alternative
sources of information if neces-
sary.

So far, the Resource Centre has
been used mainly by people
researching the viability of open-
ing small businesses in the area.
Market statistics, population and
demographic breakdowns, and
future retail forecasts are some of
the data sources available to the
entrepreneur. But not only new
business owners will benefit from

research, stresses Wakaruk. A ~

great deal of useful “how to”
information is available to the
owners and operators of existing
businesses. The possibilities

range from “How to Get the Most
From Your Employees” to “How
to Cut Inventory Costs”. Both
print material and videos are
available.

Career development is another
priority of the Resource Centre. It
contains information on local and
provincial training programs, spe-
cific job prospects in the region
and college and university
entrance requirements for particu-
lar programs. For those investi-
gating career options, the
Resource Centre can provide a
helpful beginning.

As one of the organization part-
ners of the Training and Enter-
prise Centre, the Resource Centre
fails under the umbrella of the
Ministry of Advanced Education,
Training and Technology. The
TEC’s primary goal is to enhance

_ the economic health of the region

by providing resources, programs
and services tailored to the needs
of the regional business commu-
nity. The Resource Centre is the
“library” of this educational net-
work.

If you have any questions call Jo
Ann at 638-3211 or drop by the
Resource Centre.
