- Summary:
-
A model program based on three demonstration projects of the Appalachian Women's Employment Information Project plus one Women's Bureau funded project for rural women in Mississippi provides a guide to the development or expansion of training and employment services for rural women. The model program is designed to help economically disadvantaged rural women prepare for the world of work with the help of counseling, advocacy, referral and job placement assistance, support services, and skills training. Part A of this guide describes major steps in developing the program. These steps include determination of purpose and strategies, formation of an advisory committee, recruitment and training of staff, development of jobs, and development of a recordkeeping and evaluation system. Part B of the guide describes the core components of the program, such as recruitment of participants, readiness training, adult education, occupational skills training, job placement, and followup. Major emphasis is placed on supplying supportive services, such as transportation and child care, to enable the women to participate in full-time employment. Appendices include a chart for developing a time-frame for program activities, an outline of staff training, a worksheet for developing a plan of action, an assessment form for participants, and an agenda for a 5-day job-readiness workshop.
