Canadian Strip Club combats loss of foreign Strippers with tuition assistance for local girls.

Good for them! I wish more businesses would. There is a Frozen Custard shop in St Louis, locally owned, and the owner would offer a bonus of $2,000 a year to his employees who were going to school locally and would stay and work through the school year. My brother opted out of that one, but he still was welcomed back every summer.
Cool idea, but I can't help but wonder what's wrong with the club if they can only get foreign girls to work there and now have to offer tuition credits to attract more dancers.
This is a big wtf though. I know tons of ladies who stripped and went to school (it's a stereotype for a reason), but none who actually studied in the club.Quote:
One woman who approves of the plan is author Sheila Hageman, a former stripper who discusses her experience in a new memoir, Stripping Down (Pink Fish Press), even though she doubts the number of women who've really paid for college by doffing their drawers.
"I don't know how many women actually strip to pay for school," she admitted to The Huffington Post. "I remember maybe one woman studying in the bathroom. However, a strip club offering to pay tuition is a clever idea. Strippers have flexible hours, so it could totally work."
Personally, from reading the numbers from another article. Foreign strips are a small percentage in Canada. So I think this is a marketing scheme just as I think the strip clubs recruiting in high schools was too.
Not really a plan to recruit girls at all, Canadian girls will replace the girls on work visas, it is to cast the image to customers that the Dancers in clubs a fresh faced 18 and 19 year olds.
I know that, but that's not what I meant. Before the law passed, they could still only get foreign girls to work for them, and I wonder why no local or even Canadian girls in general wanted to work there. Usually, foreign girls are less aware of their options, so I'm just wondering if there's something wrong with the club (few customers, bad management, high fees, etc.) that deters local/Canadian girls from working there, to the point that they have to use tuition credits to draw in dancers now that foreign girls will be unable to work for them.
ahem ... customer expectations for 'extras' was undoubtedly a factor at virtually every Canadian club I was ever in. While it may be possible for some dancers to earn decent money without offering 'extras', if customers find that the overall availability of 'extras' has been significantly reduced ( by the exodus of foreign dancers whose work visas were not renewed ) some customers may in turn decide that going to strip clubs is no longer 'worth it'.
Don't strippers lose money in locations where prostitution is legal?
