Job-seeking Jewish college
graduates who come to the
Montreal Jewish Vocational
Service seeking "socially sig-
nificant work" are being ad-
vised to take a fresh look at
the business world as a pos-
sible source of such job sat-
isfactions, according to an
official of the agency.
Martin Kasinitz, super-
or of the agency's em-
ment counseling depart-
iient, discussed the growing
problem of the "educated
and unemployed" Jewish
graduate.
Kasinitz reported that
many young Jews come to
the Montreal JVS with newly-
acquired bachelor degrees,
particularly in the areas of
sociology, philosophy, history
and related fields. He said,
"We are counseling them
that while business does not
have social significance as
its main thrust, it is doing
socially significant things."
He said another point made
to such job-seekers is that
"it is possible to identify
with the goal of the firm,
that it is possible to partici-
pate meaningfully in the
conversion of raw materials
to manufactured goods, in
the transporting of goods and
materials, and in producing
services which are, in their
own way, satisfying and what
is more, necessary to our
social fabric."
Kasinitz said that the job-
seekers also are told that
"within any particular indus-
try, there are many areas in
which young people can find
satisfying ways of expressing
their concerns in the area of
communal betterment." He
cited such management re-
sponsibilities "as personnel
work, health and safety
standards, industrial rela-
tions, public relations, pro-
duct control and training."
He said that JVS counse-
lors also point out that the
young Jewish graduates can
use "their abundant energy"
for community improvement
"through extra-curricular ac-
tivities." Once they have
attained success as business
managers, they are told,
their skills "can be put to
use in the social service
agencies which perforce
must turn to the business
community for aid in their
planning and programing."
