Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES


CETA Demonstration Provides

Lessons On Implementing

Youth Programs


The Youth Incentive Entitlement Pilot Proj-
ects was designed to test whether guaranteed
part-time jobs during the school year and full-
time jobs in the summer would induce eco-
nomically disadvantaged youths to remain in
or return to school. GAO found that most
worksites provided  adequate experiences.
Others, however, had problems in development
of good work habits, in supervision, and in
monitoring and couseling. Also many sponsors
experienced operational problems.

The Department of Labor and its contractor
had to intervene frequently in program oper-
ations. This raised the questions of whether the
demonstration was a fair test of the guaranteed
job concept and whether sponsors are capable
of implementing complex programs.

GAO recommends that, if the Congress decides
to expand the Pilot Projects or undertake a
similar program, it do so gradually to allow
sponsors time to develop the capacity to prop-
erly implement the program.
