34 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdey, December 15, 1966 Canadian Students Abroad Untapped Working Source HK CANADIAN FnGoo "Despite all the talk about need for youns nednle with special skills to fill jobs in Canada, there appears to be a ~ untap) source-- the 12,000 Canadian students studying abroad. ' They should get more en- couragement from gevern- ment and industry,to work in Canada after graduation, says a report of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. "Little effort is made to see that they receive offers of employment at home. Local employers, especially in the United States, are given prac- tically no competition by Ca- nadian employers." The association's recom- dations are based on visits made to 27 American and five British universities in 1965-66. Operation Retrieval teams ~met about 3,000 of the 12,000 Canadians studying abroad. It found that many were willing to return to work in Canada but had been discour- aged by lack of response to their Jetters of application to employers back home, and "they were being actively courted by American em- ployers."" Though the study was »mainly concerned with pros- | pective staff for -Canadian universities, it recommends that the interviews be con- tinued, with representatives of industry and government go- ing along on the recruiting teams. SHOULD LIST OPENINGS | The federal manpower de- | partment should become the | centre of anti - brain - drain operations, paying the. costs | of recruiting tours and sup- plying information to students abroad about jobs at home and to Canadian employers about prospective staff among the students, the association says. Catindios universities should list all staff vacancies with the association's publication, Academic Vacancies. At pres- ent less than one-fifth of va- cant posts are listed. The complete bulletin could then be sent to Canadian graduate students abroad with the hope they would apply for jobs with Canadian, universities. The association adds that both universities and industry | snuuia treai ietiers ivi Ca- nadian students abroad with "the ultimate in considera- tion" and industry should start recruiting. such Cana- dians 'with as much vigor as is displayed by American re- cruiters,"" Five teachers and 95 stu- dents of Laura Secord sec- ondary school in St. Cath- arines, Ont., plan 'to make geography come to life next July with a five-week swing through six countries of Eu- rope. By staying in hostels and travelling cheaply, geo- graphy teacher Bill Wiley hopes to keep the cost down to. $750 a student. The trip, for students in Grades 11 to 13, will inelude visits to factories, 'steel mills, school systems and government of- fices.
