- Summary:
-
This review of the Job Corps, the Neighborhood Youth Corps, and the Work Experience and Training Programs, all established under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, was part of National Manpower Policy Task Force report requested by the Senate Subcommittee on Employment, Manpower, and Poverty. It was believed appropriate to examine, after nearly 3 years and a commitment of 4 billion dollars, the extent to which the Act had been implemented. Job creation and training were to be the principle means through which the three programs would help economically disadvantaged youth and adults achieve economic independence. A variety of published and unpublished materials were used in this assessment. In the process of critical evaluation, separate discussions are devoted to the enabling legislation, administration, needs and characteristics of clients, and resource utilization of each program. It was generally concluded that it is doubtful whether the programs have achieved the formal goals of the legislation--economic self-support. However, the experience of the three programs indicates the difficulty of designing and administering mass projects which lead to the economic self-sufficiency of the poort. Suggestions are spread throughout this review. (ET)
