FRIDAY, JUNE 2nd, 1961 VIEWPOINT


fT'HESE days there is a x tendency for young people to go for the jobs which offer the chance of making money quickly. Occupations offering l i t t l e financial return at the outset are ignored by those more interested in cash than in a career.


Many opportunities exist locally for those young people wanting to carve out a career for themselves. There is wide diversity of industry in Clitheroe and district, and -some idea of this was to be gained at the careers exhibition and convention held in the borough this week.


The exhibition has been the main feature of Clitheroe’s Commonwealth Technical Training Week activities. The idea for the week came, of course, from the Duke of Edinburgh. Thirty-six Commonwealth countries are taking part to put into action the Duke’s idea to stimulate the community to an awareness of its responsibility


young people starting or about to start work.


t owa r d s


It is to be hoped that the Commonwealth Technical


Training Week will serve to encourage those leaving school to seek employment in occupations offering good prospects as well as interesting work. Though some unskilled occupations pay well in the beginning, it is in the skilled jobs where the greatest financial reward, satisfaction and security are to be found.


It will, therefore, benefit young people to take advantage of the oppor­ tunities offered by a week such as that now in


progress. *
