PET OF THE WEEK
Gus Animal ID: 88890 Name: Gus Age: 2 years Sex: Male Species: Dog Breed: Shepherd Color: Black
Included in the adoption fee:
- Spay/Neuter surgery (done before being placed up for adoption) - Microchipping - First set of vaccines - Complimentary post-adoption vet exam - And so much more!
EHS Staff Favourite: Gus “To be honest, what first attracted me to Gus was all superficial. We share a moniker for one, affectionately given to us by a member of the staff. He's a handsome boy to be sure, and his habit of carrying his favourite toy with him on walks is endlessly endearing. But as I got to know him better, I realized that we're really kindred spirits he and I. Somewhat wild, free spirited, certainly unconventional. We both fancy ourselves interior decorators, though few others appreciate our eclectic tastes. At our core we are sweet, good natured and looking for something very simple out of life: to be loved, understood, and to have a quiet corner of this world to call our own. One of the biggest challenges we all face as employees of EHS is to have to say to an animal "I hope I never see you again" and really mean it. I'm not sure that I will ever be able to truly embrace that notion in Gus' case, but his time with us has come and gone and he is more than ready for his forever home. Whoever makes Gus a member of their family will be a special person. Someone willing to devote a good portion of time and energy to him, but who in return will gain a true and constant companion."

Working Wise Dear Working Wise: My son is interested in computers, but he’s not sure which school or program he should go to. Do you have any tips on choosing a post-secondary school or program? Signed, Hopeful Mom ©iStockphoto/aldomurillo
Dear Hopeful: There are a lot of choices when it comes to available career training programs. Choice is great, but with more than 2,500 different accredited post-secondary programs in Alberta, the number and variety of choices can feel a bit overwhelming.
Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov.ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.
Here are some tips to help your son decide which school and program is right for him. 1. Check with employers and people who have your “dream job” to see what schools and programs they recommend. 2. Find out if your target career has a professional association—like the Canadian Information Processing Society (CIPS) cips.ca—and ask if they recommend specific programs and schools. 3. If you can’t ask someone, check out the Occupational Profiles on the OccInfo website occinfo.alis.alberta.ca. These profiles include advice on required education / training for over 500 occupations. 4. Use the EDinfo database of post-secondary training programs to narrow your search. You can search the database by program or school at alis.alberta.ca/edinfo. 5. Choose an accredited certificate, diploma or degree program, because employers are more likely to recognize these credentials. 6. Read reviews of schools and programs. Macleans magazine, for example, conducts an annual survey of Canadian university students and publishes the rankings at macleans.ca/rankings. Once you've narrowed down your list, you'll probably have a number of questions about those programs. • How big are the class sizes? • What are the entrance requirements and application deadline? • What student services are available like housing, recreation, athletics, etc. • Does the program start in September? Are there other possible entry dates? • Does the program include a work experience component? If so, is it paid or unpaid? • Who is responsible for arranging the work experience? • What percentage of graduates find related employment? • How much do tuition, books and supplies cost? The best source of information about a particular program is the institution that offers the program. You can contact post-secondary institutions directly and request print materials or look for the information you need on their websites. You might also want to consider that location can affect how long you spend commuting or spend on living expenses. The Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website alis.alberta.ca includes a wide range of information, resources and tips to help you plan, choose, apply for, and pay for your post-secondary education. Most post-secondary institutions have open houses or information sessions in the spring. It's a great opportunity to look around the campus, check out the learning environment, ask about programs, and find out what student life is like. Good luck!
