hstructors work for more productive year
■Clackamas Community College stu-
jw enjoying their last two weeks of
■»ration, their instructors were al-
■ra at work attending workshops and
Mways to make the 1977-78 school
■»reproductive one.
■ingtoDr. Howard Fryett, assistant
■resident of CCC and in charge of
■■service workshops, the purpose of
■«kseriesof meetings was "person
fl professional development of cur-
■ndnew programs."
I of the changes in this year's in-
Bmeetings was that part-time staff
■tedforthe first time. Last year there
111 part-time staff members and 350
instructors. Fryett had hoped that
■time faculty would take advantage
■vice, but was disappointed in the
■ofonly about a dozen.
■reason for the poor turnout is that
■ the part-time instructors are teach-
■jects that they are personally inter
lend feel no need of the services of
fe the program, according to Fryett.
■er reason is that part-time staff
does not get paid for attending the work
shops like full-time staff does.
A second new feature of this year's in
service was an offering of multiple work
shops so that the staff could pick and choose
ones that interested them. Among the of
ferings were workshops on awareness, energy
conservation, time management, mature re-
Clinic teaches self-sufficiency
The Confidence Clinic, a non-profit organi
zation for people in transition, will start a
twelve week course to help persons who wish
to become more self-sufficient.
The program, which is housed on the
Clackamas Community College campus in a
house sponsored by the college, is designed
to help those who would like to work but are
hesitant about entering or re-entering the
job market because of lack of skills or con
fidence, are unsure of their interests and
capabilities, or find personal and family
problems getting in the way.
"After going through this clinic they'll
be connected to other job training, educa
tion or the job market," said Sherry Pownall,
coordinator for the program.

turning students, and strategies for coping
with stress.
One of the highlights of in-service was a
trip to Mt. Hood Community College to
meet with faculty and administrators from
other community colleges and to hear a dis
cussion on motivating the educationally
uninvolved.
The Confidence Clinic developed through
the Peoples Action Council (PAC) which
was started last year to help low-income
persons deal with their problems and the
agencies designed to help them.
Pownall, who began working with PAC
last year feels that the clinic is important
because there is no other agency designed to
deal with persons, especially women, who
are going through changes in their lifestyles
due to divorce, having their children grow
up and leave home or the demands of a
changing society.
A variety of classes, workshops and field
experiences will help these people gain
confidence in themselves and their capabilities
and learn to make decisions concerning their
personal lives, said Pownell.
included will be workshops on job search
and how to approach a job interview, as
sertiveness training and group rap sessions.
"We will examine the skills used in dealing
with employers and how to identify the dif
ferences,' said Gail Spitze, counselor for the
clinic. Spitze was formerly employed at the
Family Court Service in Clackamas County
and has a degree in Family Relations.
There are now 15 women enrolled in
the course, ranging in age from 20 to 52.
There is room for five more persons with
a sliding scale for tuition expenses based on
income. The classes begin Sept. 26. For
more information call Pownall or Spitze at
656-2091.
