Bureau Offers
Part-time Jobs
Presently engaged in regis¬
tering PCC’s students who
wish part time work during
the school year, the Place¬
ment Bureau is endeavoring
,to solicit for students any
kind of work that conforms
to legal restrictions. Work¬
ing hours of most students
will necessarily be confined to
afternoon and evening but
some students have been able
to arrange their school sched¬
ule so that they may work in
the morning.
One of the most important fea¬
tures of the Bureau’s services is
the placing of the junior college
terminal graduate who has pre¬
pared him or herself for work im¬
mediately following graduation
from 14-2 and is not preparing
for further college education.
These potential workers will
be interviewed during their last
semester of formal schooling,
stated Milton Mohs, director of
the Placement Bureau. Informa¬
tion derived from the student in¬
terview together with that gath¬
ered from school records and
teacher’s recommendations will
be assembled and mailed to em¬
ployers most likely to be interest¬
ed in the individual qualifications
of the prospective employees.
During the past school year
the Bureau has secured positions
for 1664 students. These people
worked at everything from gard¬
ening to accounting. Employers
have informed the bureau that
due to increased competition, and
older type of student the quality
of work performed has been
much improved over that of the
past years.
Because of these values the
school offers credit for work done
acceptably, to those students who
qualify. The regulations call for
a minimum of 10 hours per week,
over a period of a semester. The
student must register with his
counselor and the Placement
Bureau at the beginning of the
semester and his work must be
appraised by the employer. When
the Placement Office receives as¬
surance from the employer that
the student’s work has been sat¬
isfactory, then the student will
receive two units of school credit
for each semester of work. All
pupils who are interested should
be sure to see their counselor
about this matter.
