Student-jobs search
Eight Project Employment Programme workers will today join the search for holiday jobs for University of Canterbury students. Three job-search co-ordi-nators have • been working since September. 1 to find jobs for the 2000 students expected to need them during the summer vacation. . -Their wages and those’ of. the P.E.P. workers are being paid by the Labour Department in lieu of the subsidised holiday employment schemes provided in the past. Although welcome, the jobsearch assistance would not
compensate for the loss of the Student Community Assistance Programme, said the president of the University of Canterbury Students’ Association, Mr Steven Ferguson, last evening. The programme provided jobs for about 2000 Canterbury students last •year. < "No-one expects the job searchers to come up with as many as that." Mr Ferguson said. Without holiday jobs many students would be unable to raise the money to fund their studies, next year.
