INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / AUGUST 8, 1989 Work-Study Program Each year, Douglas College is al- located a Work-Study budget from the Ministry of Advanced Educa- tion & Job Training. The Work-Study Program provides part- time employment (5 to 15 hours per week) to full-time students. Stu- dents may be employed at Douglas College or off-campus with a non- profit organization, Students must qualify on the basis of financial need. Eligibility is determined by the Student Finance and Placement Office, after the assessment of each student’s Canada Student Loan/B.C. Student Loan and the in- formation provided on the Work-Study application form. Stu- dents may work between 50 and 100 hours per semester, depending upon their assessed need. At this time, we would like to ask for project submissions from in- terested College personnel. We are looking for one-time (non-repeat- ing) projects which will be in addition to the normal on-going ac- tivities of the department. The projects should provide students with opportunities to develop career-related skills. Work-Study application forms are available at the Student Place- ment Office, Room 2710. The deadline to submit these Work-Study applications is THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. Patti Lewis, Student Placement Office Briefs A REMINDER FROM THE LIBRARY August 18th is our end of semester cut-off date.

The long moribund topic of block transfer to the third year level has resurfaced. These discussions have also produced some other promising considera- tions, such as a laddered curriculum leading from career programs into professional level training at SFU and UVic. While work has been under- way for some time in the area of nursing, it appears that other career program fields in which we are involved such as the social services, also hold promise for linkages for a continuum of learning for our career pro- gram graduates. Our own planning system is integrating well with these external consult- ations. The next cycle of departmental planning will be enriched because of them.
