In the first year of the Personnel Administration program, stu- dents are given ' a good grounding in management subjects such as behavioral science, personnel adminis- tration, economics, business mathematics, and computers. In the second year there are in depth courses in personnel administration, organization- al psychology, labor relations and office management. There are also field assign- ments which provide "on the job" learning. 1 Ron Munro, teacher in this Durham College program states that there has been a Tracy D., daughter of Barb and Dave Ogden, celebrated her 2nd birthday on June 12, 1974.

This fence has also been given approval by the CMHC. Mr. Garaeu said that the chain link fence would be alright as long as shrubbery were planted near the town- houses to provide an addition- al privacy screen. Another option that has been suggested called for the build- ing of a six-foot privacy fence made of wood. But Mr. Busschaert, the Clarion rep- resentative wanted to know if the Alonna St. residents were willing to pay the difference between the cheaper chain link fence and the more expensive wooden fence. Denis Sadler, who lives on Alnna St., said the$i50 per foot difference between chain link and wooden fencing would meari a cost of about $100 to each Alonna St. householder abutting the townhouses. According to Mr. Sadler, this would be too much. The only motion made with regard to fencing came from councillor Ann Cowman. She suggested that a wooden fence be built and that extra fencing money come from the town's lot levy fund. Her motion was defeated when it failed to find a second. At the moment, most of the steel posts are in place for a chain link fence between the townhouses and the semide- tached homes on Alonna St. Mr. Busschaert told the com- mittee that .the fencing be- Now available in Durham Region 24 HOUR SERVICE by the Durham Home Owners Service Ltd.

Durham is one of only a few colleges in Ontario offering a highly specialized program in this area. Mr. Munro quotes Dr. Pradeep Kumar, Research Associate in the Industrial Relations centre of Queen's University, as to the lack of trained people in the person- nel field. Dr. Kumar states that few univérsities provide the opportunity to major in personnel and industrial re- lations in their Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Arts programs. Against a back- ground of growing strains of collective bargaining and labor management relations, 1oi t tween the two properties would be halted until the drainage study has been finished. Local Employment Conditions May was a very active month in the Canada Man- power Centres in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax. A total of 541 placements were made in the three Manpower Centres, an increase of 139 placements when compared with figures from this April. The three Canada , Man- power Centres for Students are now in full operation for this year's Student Summer Employment and At. iities Programme. There are 3,074 students currently registered with our three offices. These- students possess a wide variety of skills and experi- ence and local employers are encouraged to register their summer vacancies with our student offices to take advant- age of the talent available. Area householders are also encouraged to cal our Student Centres for any odd jobs that may need to be done. During the month of May, the Canada Manpower Centres in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax entered into 20 Canada-signed agreements under the Canada Manpower Industrial Training Program These agreements have supplied training and employ- ment for 17 people in the area. At the end of May there were 84 people receiving academic upgrading at Dur- ham College in preparation to enter skill training courses. A total of 64 people are taking the various skill training courses sponsored through the Canada Manpower Centre. There were 15 people who completed a refresher course as Power Sewing Machine Operators. Dr. Kumar calls for more and better facilities for formal education in these areas. Durham College graduates from the Personnel Adminis- tration course in the Applied Arts division are finding excellent job opportunities. All of last year's graduates are employed, and most of this year's graduating students have already found employ- ment. The two year diploma course trains students in the techniques of training person- nel, in planning the future personnel needs of an organ- ization, and in the monitoring and control of existing per- sonnel programs. Graduates have a broad' employment spectrum to choose from. They are finding opportunities in personnel de- partments, placement agen- cies, the public sector, med- ical institutions and consulting firms. The various duties include work as management trainees, assistant personnel managers, interviewers, per- sonnel counsellors and train- ers, fringe benefit administra- tors, safety officers, research- ers in human behaviour and evaluators of personnel needs as well as organiz'ational effectiveness. Mr. Munro states that Durham College has develop- ed its personnel program with a great deal of assistance from experienced, practicing personnel executives to en- sure that the needs of toda*'s job market, as well as future demands will be met. He points out that the Durham College program reflects these "inputs" by empha- sizing problem solving and consultative skills. Durham College instructors in the Personnel program have extensive backgrounds in education, business, and personnel related activities.

Included in this total are 1,516 female student registrations and 342 registrations of people. who are currently employed but are seeking other employ- ment. Total student regis- trations and confirmation of registrants whose labour force status in April was unknown. With the inclusion of these figures the number of people registered for employment in Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax is only slightl above March 1976 totals. The majority of clients were registered in the following occupations: clerical, sales, services, product fabricating and assembling occupations, construction trades and material handling. There continues to be a very large pool of well qualified office personnel available through the area's Canada Manpower Centres. Shortages of qualified clients were noted in the following areas: general machinists, licensed hair- dressers, auto mechanics with Class "A" certificates, ex- perienced waitresses and waiters, live-in housekeepers and babysitters and welders. Area companies are report- ing good production levels and seasonal employers are mov- ing into their peak activity period. Ltd. 0. t ouse 1
