-
California's Greater Avenues for Independence (GAIN) program provides job services, as well as training, education, and support services to Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) recipients to help them attain unsubsidized employment. The GAIN program includes an initial appraisal of participants' basic reading, mathematics, and functional listening skills. On the basis of test results, participants lacking basic skills may have provisions for obtaining these skills included in their Basic Participant Contract. This report discusses educational, demographic, and other characteristics of the 32,850 individuals participating in GAIN between July 1986 and August 1987. Selected findings include the following: (1) as of August 1987, 58% of the participants were female, though the percentage of females is expected to rise to 65% by the time the program is fully operational; (2) approximately 44% of the participants were White, 29% Hispanic, and 15% Black; (3) approximately 85% were under the age of 40; (4) approximately 90% had at least an 8th grade education; (5) 900 of the participants were referred to English as a Second Language (ESL) instruction without being tested; and (6) 74% received reading test scores placing them at a high school level or higher, while only 35% scored at a high school level or higher in mathematics.
