- Summary:
-
Northampton County Area Community College implemented a program of tuition waiver for unemployed adult residents of its sponsor area on a space-available basis in credit courses only. In addition to providing relief and a positive interventionary program to aid the unemployed, the project tested certain hypotheses concerning the nature of training and retraining for dislocated workers. It was found that project participants experienced a grade point average less, but not significantly less, than their college-wide counterparts. An analysis of student course selection, by division, clearly showed that enrollees had jobs in mind when they made their choices. Responses to a participant post-survey indicated that the unemployed were not likely to return to former employers and needed to consider how best to market themselves; 16 participants indicated that the program aided them in securing work, although only 10 had secured work; and almost 60 percent felt the program added a skill or ability to their resume that will aid their reemployment. A survey of selected college offices showed that some additional demands were made on college support services and staff. (Some sample forms are attached.) (YLB)
