handle is hein.gao/gaobaaysw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: REPORT BYTHE Comptroller General OF THE UNITED STATES More Effective Management Is Needed To Improve The Quality Of The Summer Youth Employment Program This report to the Senate Committee on the Budget acknowledges that the Department of Labor's Summer Program for Economically Disadvantaged Youth has an admirable objec- tive to provide youths meaningful work tasks and training to develop their skills and en- hance their future employability. However, the Department's efforts to assure that State and local governments were operat- ing quality programs were not very successful at the sites GAO visited. As a result the future employability of many of the most needy youths was not improved. Poor administra- tion by the Department and by local program operators prevented many youths, mostly at urban locations, from being exposed to the real world of work. Allocations of funds were based on the desire to maintain prior year enrollment levels rather than on the eligible populations' economic needs and the quality of past programs. Also, local operators often failed to target recruit- 108775 ing efforts to youths most in need. GAO recommends that the Congress, before considering any expansion of the program, assure itself that the Department of Labor has taken corrective actions.
