According to a press release from the Edu-
cational Research Institute of B.C., #4 of
Canadian university and college graduates
questioned in 1978 after two years in the
labour force, wished they had chosen a
different course of study. ''A large’ pro-
portion of students who felt they studied
the wrong discipline return to school and
everyone pays: education institutions ,
government, employers and of course, stu-
dents themselves. With more information
students could have made better choices in
the first place.'' This is the focus of the
institute's seminar at the Bayshore Inn on
May 22, titled "Education and Employment ."!
The seminar, based on a recently released
Statistics Canada report, will feature one
author of the report, educators, represen-
tatives of labour, industry and government
and, naturally, the interested people who
come to discuss the issue. For further in-
formation and registration forms, contact
Larry Hnetka, Communications Coordinator,
ERIBC, #400 - 515 W. 10th Ave. 873-3801.

Newsletters have great scope as a two-way
communications tool and are on’ the verge
of a new popularity, says freelance writer
and publicist Jeannine Mitchell. And who
are we to argue? This is not a plug for
the Informer, by the way, but an ad for a
new Community Ed course -- the Newsletter
Production Workshop -- to be run downtown
May 8 and 9. The workshop will teach the
basics of editing and design, emphasizing
that newsletters have to be eye-catching
and readable if they are going to be read.
For more info call local 321.

Contrary to popular beliefs, the success-
ful salesman is not a flashy, extroverted
fast-talker, says instructor Wayne Wyker.
The successful salesman is a quiet, reser-
ved person who knows how to ask questions,
get the right information and solve the
needs of his/her customer. Wyker is teach-
ing an evening course in Salesmanship at
the Downtown Centre starting May 5 and he
points out that the skills learned are use-
ful in many careers. As well, this course
should provide the basic training for any-
one interested in entering the field and
give those already in sales an’ increased
understanding of applied sales skills. It
is an 8 session course for $60, and if you
are interested, call local 321.
