STRATHMORE
HIRE A STUDENT??
Strathmore Hire A Student is a non-profit agency devoted to employing the youth in the
Wheatland county surrounding Strathmore. This includes such areas as Standard, Rockyford,
Gleichen, and Siksika - to name just a few. In our attempt to find students jobs, Hire A Student
(HAS), is committed to working both with the student population, the community as a whole, and
as well the business sector.
Attempting to decipher this relationship is what Strathmore Hire A Student is all about. We believe it makes no difference whether the student comes from the local high school or the community junior high, HAS attempts to employ everyone in jobs that the students want and that the employers need filled.
Recognizing the
importance of the
student/business
relationship is what HAS
does on a daily basis in its
effort to assist both sides
in all matters invovled.
This implies that all
aspects of student
employment manages to benefit everyone participating - from simple dollars and cents within
economics to on-site job experience and training. Strathmore HAS helps everyone who becomes
involved with the program.
But with every program, one needs to see what is actually transpiring with Strathmore
Hire A Student currently to understand and appreciate what takes place in that little space in the
LOFT. The program approach this year is to create a positive atmosphere between students and
employers. 
We plan to educate each side on how to best relate to one another through workshops
and seminars. The prejudices all parties enter into an employment
situation is sometimes unfair and unjustified. With a mandate to
increase student participation in the program and see a growing
trend of employers being regarded as your neighbors and just
simply some community folk needing some help - Strathmore
Hire A Student plans to build and maintain strong working
relationships with both the business sector and the everyday
people of the Wheatland county. We are pleased to announce that at this point we have managed
to attain some of these goals and objectives - some of these results we have made available and
