- Summary:
-
This report of the National Council on Employment Policy to the Department of Labor identifies some major themes and analyzes the diverse experiences occurring in ten case studies. The case studies examine a total of thirty-seven prime sponsors (in twelve states) charged with improving job opportunities for youth. "Summary and Recommendations," the first of the report's three parts, draws some tentative conclusions about the effectiveness of prime sponsors and the Department of Labor in implementing the new youth programs and offers some guidance for forthcoming operations. Part 2, "The National Picture," presents the national backdrop to the prime sponsor experience. It analyzes national level conditions and national office policy's direct effects on prime sponsor plans and experiences. The third part, "Experiences at the Local Level," analyzes the case study patterns with reference to the objectives of the Department of Labor's Office of Youth Programs. In this major portion of the report, there are reviews of knowledge development, work experience quality under the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act, youth participation, targeting, substitution, coordinating services for youth, involvement of community-based organizations, and changes in institutional relationships.
