The Comprehensive Employaent and Training Act (Title
VI) requires that special 7eterans receive special
cotsideration. Spcial veterans are defined as those who served
in the Armed Forces in Indochina, Korea, or adjacent waters
between August 5, 1964, and Na'v 7, 1975, and who received other
than a dishonorable discharge. This report updates earlier
information on procedures used to give special consideration by
Wilmington, Delaware, and points out inaccuracies in the
reported statistics on veterans served. Findings/Conclusions:
Statistical ditferences between figures supplied by Wilmington
officials and the Department of Labor may have resulted from the
use of a variety of terms to classify veterans, which may have
conftised staff personnel and resulted in the erroneous coding of
other veterans as special veterans in Wilmington. vilmington is
correcting veterans' classifications. Vilmington had not given
the various hiring departments any guidelines on the
consideration to be given to special veterans. Although
Wilmington's delivery cf services to veteranp as a target group
exceeded the planning goals, a lack of data on veteran
unemployment in the city makes it difficult to assess if
planning goals accurately reflected veterans' local needs.
Wilmington prepares one list of eligible applicants for a job
vacancy which does not identify veterans or special veterans. In
addition, all applicants are referred to the hiring depLrtments
at the same time, regardless of veteran status. (SC)](ViewImageLocal?handle=hein.gao/gaobaabyd0001&div=1&collection=&method=preview&ext=.png&size=3)
