MAKING
CHOICE IS VITAL FOR TODAY’S SCHOOL-LEAVER
qualifications required for many jobs is continually increasing. The higher the require
ment, the more difficult the entry. But apart from this consideration, the popu larity of a career will in crease the competition for places. This has happened with
some degree courses be cause boys and girls recog nise the value of the university route to a career. For many years, entry
into Customs and Excise, Journalism, or into civil airlines as an air steward ess has been competitive because these arc consid ered to be the “glamour” careers.
Brighter future
No-one . questions the
fact if a boy or girl wishes to use a particular flair in a career, for music or art, for example, then their prospects wi l l largely depend on how good they arc at their subject. Nevertheless, they may
also need a qualification. It is reasonable to expect a brighter future for the per son entering an art career with a diploma in art and design or equivalent than with an ordinary level GCE pass in art. It is, in fact, true of most
careers that qualification is the key to belter pros pects. -This has not always been
so. but a glance at any firm’s “house journal” to-
day will show that the re
tiring director may not • have had any qualified- . tions, but his successor has letters behind his name. Even with qualifications,
not all professions are equally in demand at the same time. Estimates of the need for people in cer tain occupations arc pub lished by the Government from time to time, and these can be a guide to p r o s p e c t s careers.

boys and girls will be leav ing school in Clitheroe and district. Many of them have already had assistance from the Youth Employ ment Bureau. Quite a few of the boys
will be entering the build ing trade and will be taking up employment as carpenters, bricklayers and plumbers. Many of the girls have
decided to be machinists in local sewing factories. But by far the most

Many boys sec engineer ing as the ideal job, and
arc keen to enter into apprenticeships with the large firms in the towns surrounding Clitheroe.
“ Opportunities for school-leavers arc excel
lent,” said Mr. Blackburn. “We had no difficulty in
placing the Easter school- leavers, and there should be no difficulty with the summer leavers.” Mr. Blackburn has-first
