Job Help For Adults With
Hearing Impairments

Communicating on the job
can be difficult, but if you’re
hearing impaired and you miss
some vital instructions you can
lose your job.

Douglas College offers a uni-
que course specific to
hard-of-hearing adults; people
who function in the hearing
world, but require assistance.

"The course gives people a
chance to research careers, un-
derstand their own needs and
learn how to find and keep a
job," said Gladys Loewen of
Douglas College.

Employers and co-workers
must also learn better ways to

 

communicate with hearing-im-
paired people, she said,
suggesting illustrations on the
wall rather than verbal instruc-
tions, or a vibrating pager which
allows the person to feel rather
than hear the message.

Topics covered in the course
include:

- occupational theory
- career exploration and planning
- job search techniques
- jobmaintenance.
Students will also be given

several work experience place-
ments, helping them to test their
interest and suitability for par-
ticular types of work, as well as
developing a realistic under-

 

standing of what’s involved in
that job.

"Each person has his or her
own survival strategy,” said
Loewen. This course, the first
of it’s kind offered to hearing-
impaired rather than deaf adults,
enables students to develop
these strategies at the same time
as planning their futures.

The course runs from January
23 - April 14, 1989 and costs
$282. Student financial assis-
tance may be available; students
are advised to apply early. For
further information call Gladys
Loewen, 520-5400.
