ioaay s ever-present prob-_
lem of unemployment does
not appear to be lessening;
however, Robeson Technical
College offers a special pro
gram to help the unemployed
find a job. .
The program is called Ca
reer Development and does
just what the name suggests;
develops and readies indivi
duals for a career. Tlte
curriculum includes job pre
paration skills in resume and
letter writing and interview
ing. and basic educational
skills in English, mathematics,
and history. Additional educa
tional experiences are avail
able to students within this
program including participa
tion in a video taped WRTCV
TV show and fashion display,
travelling on field trips to
local industries and i^ther
developmental locations, and
exposure to guest speakers.
According to Rudy Locklear
program coordinator, the"
course is structured to help
individuals set personal goals.
build self-confidence and
strengthen communication.
At the beginning of the course
an interest inventory test is
administered to the students
in order to help them decide
which career direction they
would like to take.
According to 'Christine
Johnson, recent Career De
velopment Program graduate,
the mostful part of the course
was brushing up on the
basics. She continued. "Each
of us in class gained so much
,confidence. We developed
better self images as indivi
duals. This class was a
turning point for all of us
we're ready for employ
ment." Eugene Deaton. an
other CDP graduate, added,
"The interest inventory really
helped me to choose a career
direction. Now I know what 1
want to do. and I've learned
through the program how to
start doing it."
During the course of the
program all students begin
making application for em
Iployment. After placing each
individual on a job or assisting
in further job training, each
fraduate is followed up on a
tree-month, six-month and_
velve-month interval after
I graduation to check on em
ployment progress.
The program is designed to
recruit, train and place the
?unemployed and the under
lie mployed into jobs or voca
tional training. The jobless
Ice are also encouraged candi
'dates for the program.

elopment Program will begin

I Due to rising college

liors are postponing college

Many have discovered
I that the U.S. Army is *a
I great place to get two assets
V that are valuable in the
"real world": educational
funds and skill training. The
Army College Fund pro- '
gram offers both to quali
fied high school graduates.
Soldiers save from $25
to $100 of their monthly
I pay (more than $575 for
starters), up to $2,400 over
two years of service or
$2,700 for three. The gov
* eminent will increase that
I investment by 500 percent
or more! A soldier who
I saves the maximum could
I have a college fund of more
I than $15,000 after two
| years or $20,000 after three

i While saving money sol
, diers also learn skills in sucb
