Bowmanville, June 25, 1997 Page 7 Creating Futures A Campaign to Raise $ 12 Million for Durham College and Durham University Centre by Marie Hubbard Communities are the local building blocks for economic development. As part of the strategic development process, an assessment of available resources within the community is important to establishing an economic and employment base. When corporations and businesses search for communities communities in which to locate, one of the considerations is, without without question, the availability of educational facilities to train the work force. The second second is the availability of people people to fulfill the needs for staffing. Return to High School For those people who have been dislocated, for any number number of reasons, by the economic economic shifts, retraining has become an essential component component for their re-entry into the workplace. Some people have found it necessary to return to high school to obtain a diploma diploma before moving to advanced skills training. Gail Rickard, the Dean for the Centre for Studies in Claringlon, observes the fob lowing: "Many adult students who come to our high school to finish off their high school diploma do not think they will ever have a chance to go to college or university. Durham College and Durham University Centre provide both avenues of study for students students to pursue - it is local, convenient, and within "mental" "mental" reach for them. Many adult students will not pursue post-secondary education right away. However, armed with a high school diploma, they may access post-secondary post-secondary education within this region." Many local businesses have established very positive linkages to Durham College and Skills Training. Jim Schell, Community Relations Manager for St. Marys Cement Company, offers the following comment: comment: "Durham College has been an asset to our community community for over 30 years.
