This report presents a case study of programs that |
|
provide either formal or informal training for |
|
economically disadvantaged youth from fourteen to twenty- |
|
one years of age at six community action agencies in the |
|
state of Ohio. The following programs involving the six |
|
agencies were examined: inschool public sector programs |
|
funded by the Comprehensive Employment Training Act |
|
(CETA); out-of-school public and private sector programs |
|
funded by CETA; out-of-school public and private sector |
|
programs funded by the Community Services Administration; |
|
and the Department of Labor's Job Corps program. Data |
|
collected through two sets of on-site interviews with |
|
agency administrators, job counselors, job supervisors, |
|
and program participants is summarized and presented in |
|
table and narrative form in terms of strengths and |
|
weaknesses inherent in the agencies and programs. Focus |
|
is on four facets of agency and program operation: |
|
context, identification, intervention, and evaluation. |
|
Recommendations grouped according to the four facets are |
|
presented and include improving communication between |
|
agencies and strengthening the counseling functions in |
|
agency programs. Appendixes include description of |
|
methodological factors that were considered prior to |
|
implementing the study, and complete sets of interview |
|
schedules. A companion volume of innovative program ideas |
|
culled from the study is available separately. (BL) |
