Just what is

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 can be viewed by pressing this little button :
