W ith job placement the name o f the game in the trades, a new cooperative program between Port land Com m unity College and The Cement Masons Local #555 gives both the best o f two worlds. The college finds •’ real” projects for the pre-apprentice shop program underway this summer as well as working out a cooperative arrange ment for the instructor's salary and some supplies. When the work is completed the college ends up with new fo o tin g s , fo u n d a tio n s and routine repairs. The students in turn have an op p o rtu n ity to put together “ real” work instead o f makeshift experi ments. And the union pulls together the whole works at less cost than pre vious pre-apprenticeship arrange ments. The cooperative contract is one o f those unique custom programs the college puts together to f i l l any required educational need in their district. Roger Wood, Cement Masons ap prenticeship coordinator for Oregon and Southwest Washington, empha sized some o f the advantages o f the program. “ This is the first time we have tried a program in Portland. We were going to Camp Adair for the two annual pre-apprenticeship training sessions. The cost for that was much more and we also had to lace behavior problems.” The union doesn’ t take long to cull out the lazy or unproductive. “ When we invest in the pre-apprenticeship students, we want to be sure they’ ll work out. They must have a good at titude,” Wood said. In s tru c to r Gene C h ris tia n s o n , noted 13 students would complete (his six-week instructional period. " I t ’ s been hard to keep ahead o f them ," he said with pride. ‘ ‘They’ ve been a good group. Not one was even late a d a y !" Wood, a Sherwood resident, has high praise for the Portland Cement Association in Skokie, Illinois. They fund a big share o f the cost through the International Cement Masons Union located in Illinois by taking advantage o f Comprehensive Em ploym ent T ra in in g A ct (C E T A ) funds. "T h ro u g h the C ETA funds the students get paid $50 a week for at tending the class," Wood explained. " A t the same time they earn 12 cre dits from the college.” In the unique arrangement the union pays the tuition, buys tools, and provides a van to get the students to the job. The college picks up not only the cost o f the instructor, but provides some o f the supplies and gas for the van. During the first si* week program the students basically worked eight hours a day. They did some routine patching and resurfacing at the PCC Stadium Center and then transferred out to the Rock Creek Center where they poured the foundation for the storage area, finished the rabbit house and did the footings for the landscape shade house. The instructor and union coor dinator place the pre-apprenticeship students w ith an em ployer and follow them on the job for another nine weeks. "S om e are ready to work before the six weeks are over,” Christianson said. "T h is time we placed one after the first week and it’s not unusual to put them on the job after the third week," he con tinued. " I f the student is quick enough to bold a job and the employer patient enough to help, we can sometimes place them s o o n e r," W ood ex plained. The follow through is one of the bonus points o f the PCC program. "Because the college pays the instructor we can help the student more on the jo b ," Wood said.
