The Council of Young Israel Employment Bureau in cooperation with the Board of Education has initiated an intensive program of placement, vocational guidance and instruction for young men and women who are Sabbath-observers. Through the efforts of Jesse M. Kleve, director of the Employment Bureau, the Board of Education at a special meeting approved the annexation of the Bureau as a part of the Central Commercial Continuation School and assigned two regular instructors to the Bureau.
Four classes will be held for instruction in stenography, typewriting, bookkeeping and filing. Negotiations have also been opened whereby the applicants will be enabled to take courses of instruction in trades which are now operating on a five-day week. It is hoped that this will give them an opportunity to get into fields heretofore not open to Sabbath-observers, and in which the competition will be less keen and the remuneration more satisfactory.
