can help change that. June 9 is the B.C.

Work-Study

Each year Douglas College is allocated a Work-Study budget from the Ministry of Advanced
Education, Training and Technology. The Work-Study Program provides part-time employ-
ment (5 to 15 hours per week) to full-time students. Students 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 Stu-
dent Finance and Placement Office, after the assessment of each student’s Canada Student
Loan/BC Student Loan and the information provided on the Work-Study application form,

At this time, we would like to ask for project submissions from interested College person-
nel, for Fall Work-Study positions. We are looking for one-time (non-repeating) projects
that will be in addition to the normal on-going activities of the department. The projects
should provide students with opportunities to develop career-related skills.

Work-Study applications are available at the Student Placement Office, Room 2710. The
deadline for submissions for the Fall 1993 placements is Friday, July 2, 1993. &

Hungary visit continued from page 3

 

McKendry and Sator also received invitations for Douglas College faculty to become in-
volved in activities supporting the economic re-development of Hungary on a shorter term
basis and these opportunities are beyond current and planned partnership agreements.

As well, McKendry was invited by the President of the Hungarian University of Physical
Education to pursue discussions around the feasibility of another partnership agreement in
the area of physical education and coaching.

"At this point, it is desirable to both parties and appears highly feasible," he says.

The working visit also allowed Mr. Tad Hosoi, Manager of Douglas College’s Centre for
International Education, to examine the potential for future international arrangements
with Hungary and other European countries.

Meanwhile, Jim Sator remains in Hungary until mid-June as a World Bank consultant to a
project involving restructuring of the country’s technical-vocational training system. «A
