She said that the Board's first three objectives last year were: to suspend the post-secondary growth policy established in 1980, aiming at 2,500 students in five years; to ensure that financial integrity of the College is maintained, emphasizing the need for capital funding; and to develop plans for physical facilities to meet indicated needs. Ruth reported that the College's representations to the government to increase facilities in the present building, and requesting funds to erect the new Skilled Trades and Technology building were successful. Durham is now involved with a five million dollar building program (including equipment) equipment) which acknowledges the fact that it is one of the fastest growing colleges in Ontario. When the program is completed, it will not only bring increased emphasis on High Technology, but will provide considerable additional classroom and instructional instructional space. This Fall, Durham College also brought new focus to the service in the Ajax-Pickering area by moving two full-time programs to a large commercial building at 400 Monarch Avenue in Ajax. In addition to the Fork Lift Mechanic and Motor Vehicle Mechanic courses, Durham will be offering shorter duration courses such as Carpentry and Environmental Environmental Horticulture at this new location, and will utilize this building for extension courses in the Ajax area. Mrs. Milne stated that College progress is evidenced by the fact that dayschool enrollment has reached 2,325 post-secondary students alone, with 400 students in Adult Training classes, and throughout the year, over 9,000 students in the extension courses at night. The College's fourth objective was to maintain and strive to improve the College's quality of educational capability. In this connection, Ruth Milne said that Durham has been implementing a Professional Development policy approved by the Board, which is being monitored by the College's Professional Development Council.

Ruth Milne stated that the fifth objective of the Board was to expand Apprenticeship and Skill Training programs. In this connection there is continuing co-operation with the Durham Organization for Industrial Training. Most recent developments are a new Motor Vehicle Mechanic Program and a Precision Metal Fabrication Program. The College's sixth objective was to expand existing and develop new programs in High Technology. In this regard, Durham has made Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Manufacturing instruction instruction an integral part of the post-secondary technology programs. It has commenced a 52-week Mechanical Engineering Technician CAD/CAM Program on January 2.

Mrs. Milne made reference to the College's seventh and final objective, which was to organize a co-ordinated program to improve the placement of graduates and in-course students. To do this Durham added to its Placement Office staff and sought the assistance of faculty and Advisory Committee members to use network connections in placement. She reported that this additional effort had paid off, with job placement of 1983 graduates at 81 per cent. The previous year only 71 per cent of the graduates obtained employment.
