Separate School Board to open "~% he Halton Roman Catholic T School Board, in cooperation with Sheridan College and the Canada Employment Centre, will open a unique Adult Learning Centre this fall. Its uniqueness will lie in its ‘flexiâ€" bility‘ and in the fact that no other schoolboard in the province will work so closely and so cooperatively with a community college to service the needs of a growing number of adult students. "In 1980, one in 10 secondary school students in Ontario was an adult. Right now, it‘s one in four adults who are studying for their secâ€" ondary school diploma," said Joe Diubaldo, principal of Continuing Education for the Board. "This repreâ€" sents the growth area of the future. We were not servicing this area as well as we could have." Diubaldo reasons that the numbers of adults returning to high school are increasing "because essentially it‘s the key to any future reâ€"training they want to do." At the very minimum, employers are seeking employees with a Grade 12 education, said Diubaldo. The board‘s current schedule for adults seeking a high school diploma is "a rigid model." Credit courses were offered two nights a week so "the best you could Invifes you to a First Time Home Buyers Seminar Wednesday, June 22, 1994 7:00p.m. â€" 9:00 p.m. at Howard Johnson Hotel 590 Argus Road, Oakville Preâ€"register at any CIBC Banking Centre in Oakville.

The new Adult Learning Centre, to be located in an asâ€"yetâ€"toâ€"beâ€"deterâ€" mined Oakville location, will offer day school with an intense support system including babysitting services and full counseling benefits. "People will be able to move relaâ€" tively quickly in that process," he said. The Centre will be equipped with two stateâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"art computer labs and a science lab. The credit program has been designed so that participants can take advantage of either teacherâ€" taught courses or independent learnâ€" ing materials. Duibaldo said there will also be a "flexible entry schedule" whereby, within reasonable parameters, a stuâ€" dent will be privy to onâ€"theâ€"spot ‘ tutoring to bring them upâ€"toâ€"date on a particular course. CEC students wantâ€" ing to upgrade their computer skills will also have the chance to work on their high school diploma simultaneâ€" ously. "We‘re trying to build in as much flexibility as possible," he said. Assessments will be carried out by representatives from the board as well as Sheridan College, so the best possiâ€" ble direction can be given to someone pursuing a college diploma program. "We are going to be working cooperatively, not competitively. We‘re not competing for the same client slice," he added. Funding for the Centre, which officially opens in September, is comâ€" ing from the Ministry of Education and Training and Canada Employment. l in e d k
