2 - The Michigan Daily - Monday, August 10, 1998 CAREER Continued from Page 1 applications for funds must be approved by their local Michigan Works! office. "Michigan Works! is responsible for approving the occupations and supporting the high-skill, high- wage, high-demand training pro- grams," said Trenda Rusher, execu- tive director of the Washtenaw County Workforce Development Board. The Board will also monitor the programs to insure that they are suc- cessful in training the students for their specific occupations. After the specific programs are approved, the Michigan Works! Board awards each application with the corresponding amount of money. Guy Hower, director of financial aid at Washtenaw Community College, said his institution received "$426,000 for 25 different programs that were specifically picked by the Governor's committee." WCCC applied for more than the approved 25 programs, but some were turned down for not meeting the "high-skill, high-wage, high- demand" qualifications. WCCC offers programs such as robotics, nursing, radiography and computer-aided drafting. Depending on the program, students can receive up to $2,000 for either a one-year certificate or' two-year associate's degree. James Varty, dean of students at Macomb Community College, reiter- ated that the programs must train students for the "high-wage, high- skill, high-demand" occupations that the Governor identifies as "Gold Collar Jobs." "Macomb Community College, one of the largest community col- leges in the state, received $1 mil- lion, " Varty said. Varty said many students will ben- efit from the legislation. "I feel that the placement percent- age of students into the workforce will be very high," Varty added. Compared to four-year university degrees, the "Career Scholarship" programs were designed to "train people at a technical level rather than at a level of engineering,"Varty said. He said that a pre-engineering pro- gram was rejected by the Governor's committee because it was directed towards a four-year degree. For more information about the Career Scholarships or programs funded by the scholarships, contact your local Michigan Works! office or local community college financial aid department. CAN HAM Continued from Page 1 Stevenson said. If the different parts of renovation are not completed in the right order it might cause serious problems, Stevenson said. We don't want to "build something and then have to tear it down," Stevenson said. The Natatorium was first com- pleted in 1989. The estimated cost was $8.5 mil- lion and the facility is considered among the finest college-owned swimming and diving buildings in the nation by students and athletes. LSA junior Randall Johnson said last year he lived near the natatorium and enjoyed swimming at the pool every day. "The natatorium is beautiful," Johnson said. Johnson said he felt the changes will improve the facility. "The renovations that they will be doing will probably attract more stu- dents," Johnson said. Johnson said students "know that the natatorium exists, but I am not sure they visit it." The natatorium was built to allow student athletes the opportunity to excel athletically at the facilities.
