The objective of the summer program for economically
disadvantaged youth is to provide work experience to
economicealy disadvantaged youth through jobs during the summer
months tc enhance their future employability.
Findings/Conclusions: The Department of Labor has no information
on social benefits which may relate to the s,'muer employment of
youth nor on the long-term economic benefits which may result
from the program. Labor has not yet been able to make a cost
effectiveness evaluation of the summer program. Part of the
difficulty in such an evaluation is in isolating summer program
participation from other participant activity, such as: the
youth iu-zchool programs. Previous GAO reports on reviews of the
summer youth employment program have identified a Dumber of
operational problems, including ineligible participants, lack of
information on enrollees in the program, and weaknesses in
program monitoring. Recommendations: The Secretary of Labor
should: (1) prcvide written guidance xo prime sponsors on
specific items of information to be included on applications
used for summer youth employment programs, as well as requirinq
certification by the head of the applicant's household to the
information; and (2) insure that prime sponsors hire in their
title III summer youth programs only persons determined to be
eligible, ba&.,d on adequately completed applicationb, ap'd
maintain appropriate files on all summer program participants.
