During the past several years substantial financial and manpower resources have been directed toward improving the employability of and providing employment opportunities for disadvantaged Newark residents. However, there has been very little information provided to program planners and administrators to assess how well these resources have served to aid disadvantaged residents in obtaining and retaining suitable employ- ment or to suggest ways in which these resources could be better applied to more effectively achieve program objectives. The records of the 18 manpower programs directed toward improving the employability and providing employment opportunities for Newark residents showed that about 8,200 placements were made during calendar year 1969; 16 of these programs, accounting for about 6,400 placements, received Federal funds. Because of variations in funding periods, precise data on the amount of Federal funds provided during calendar year 1969 was not avail- able; a Department of Labor consultant estimated however, that about $15 million annually had been provided for manpower programs in Newark. We reviewed activities of the 9 manpower programs (see enclosure for details concerning these programs) with the largest number of reported placements--about 6,100 of the approximately 8,200 total--during calendar year 1969. The nine programs can be generally categorized as follows: --Three institutional training programs which provided remedial education and vocational training to unemployed and underemployed persons before placing them in jobs. --Three employer subsidy programs which offered the possibility of immediate, regular employment, with on-the-job training and certain supportive services supplied by the employer. --Two direct placement programs, one of which provided brief work orientation sessions to some disadvantaged persons before placing them directly in permanent jobs, and the other which placed disadvantaged persons directly into jobs. --A program which provided work experience and supportive services to disadvantaged youths, usually school dropouts. 50TH ANNIVERSARY 1921-1971
