Muskie Chairman, Committee on the Budget United States Senate Dear Mr. Chairman: '-' 'f / Subject: Department of Labor's Efforts to Tmprove the Quality of the 1979 Summer Youth Emloyment Program HRD-80-39) In response to your July 30, 4979(reuesK and later meetings with your office, we reviewed -t artment of Labor's actions to improve the management of the 1979 Summer Zf) Youth Employment Procram (SYEP). We previously issued are- p'ort on the 1978 program, More Effective Management Is Needed To Improve The Quality Of The Summer Youth Employment Program (HRD-79-45, Feb. 20, 1979). We directed our review primarily to Labor's efforts to more effectively administer the summer youth program, particularly to strengthen the supervision and monitoring efforts and to eliminate inadequate worksites. For the 1979 SYEP, Labor provided sponsors with guidance on how to assess the quality of worksite experiences (includ- ing models of work settings that provide the opportunity to develoD good work habits) and identified some activities that did not represent work situations. Also, Labor took actions to improve Federal monitoring of the program. Regional office monitoring was intensified, and procedure6 were established for documenting this effort. Additional monitoring was con- ducted by the Labor Inspector General and an Office of Youth Programs Special Monitoring Group. Labor's reported monitor- ing results indicated that most of the worksites visited were satisfactory. Consequently, few worksites were closed during the 1979 summer program. However, where problems were iden- tified, Labor monitors generally did not take all steps nec- essary to assure that sponsors took corrective action befor / completion of the 1979 SYEP.
