Options glimpsed

Caledonia Senior Secondary will soon be asking local employers to once again sup- port its Career Preparation pro- gram by. providing enrolled students’ with on-the-job ex- perience, says Joe Murphy, one of three teachers involved in the program. —.

‘Murphy said the intent was to give ‘the students some actual work experience before they made their final career choice, Noting most after-school jobs held by students were usually in the service industry -~ fast food outlets,. for example ~~ the pro- gram gave them an opportunity to “explore different options.”

We also applied territory rating to reflect claims experience in different regions of B.C. more there are more down the toad.
