Description
This study explored the effectiveness of the
Manpower Development and Training Program in Broward
County, Florida. A telephone survey was conducted
with graduates from MDTA classes of 1970, and interviews
were held with counselors, teachers, labor
supervisors and analysts. The study disclosed that
forty percent of the graduates had never worked in
the occupations for which they were trained; thirty-nine
percent had worked in the occupation, yet left
for various reasons.
The researcher concluded that the program needed
improvement. Suggestions included: implementing the
skills center approach; closer coordination between
employment service counselors and vocational instructors;
and concentrated job placement effort prior to training
completion.
