= lM iin i) oo bn SUE "A Family Tradition for 133 Years" Program teaches students it pays to stay in school Twelve Durham College students and two of their professors are stepping outside the box - and the college. On Nov. 24 a dozen third-year = Operations Management students and two Durham profes- sors will work in pairs to visit 200 Grade 8 stu- dents in four area schools. They will present the Economics of Staying in School (ESIS), a pro- gram created by Junior Achievement (JA). The overall aim of ESIS is to help young people understand the direct impact education has on their career suc- cess and desired lifestyles. After playing a board game designed to help them determine how likely they are to stay in school, the students will have a chance to discuss their goals, put a price tag on each one, and learn how to budget. Students also learn about various careers as well as colleges, universities and the costs of post-sec- ondary education. "Durham College stu- dents are living examples of ESIS principles. Their participation will go a long way in helping reach our young people with the ESIS message," says Donna Raetsen Kemp, director of Junior Achievement of Durham Region. Junior Achievement is an inter- national, non-profit orga- nization which helps young people value free enterprise, understand business and economics, and develop entrepre- neurial and leadership skills. Durham professor HTaR 0:930 a Dave Fletcher is equally enthusiastic: "By reach- ing kids early, we hope to help them realize the importance of education to their long-term suc- cess." Fletcher, fellow Durham professor Jacki Shemko and the 12 Operations Management students have been work- ing with Junior Achievement of Durham Region over the past few months to prepare for the day long program.
