I. Project's Objectives and Findings

A. Objectives

Some neighborhood based manpower agencies located in the impactedareas of inner cities do not possess the inhonee capability of in-forming their constituents of available manpower programs. SettlementHouses Employment Development Inc. proposed to the Manpower Adminis-tration to gather and disseminate manpower training information to some60-70 neighborhood based agencies on standardized forms; and thatchecks would be made on the utility of this information and the impacton the neighborhood agencies' practices.

Three types of bulletins would be developed:1. Gathering current manpower training openings from program

agencies, publishing these on a standardized form and mailing themat regular (usually two week) intervals;

2. Distributing periodic analyses of current manpower problemsand issues of interest to manpower staff which are prepared by NewYork City's Manpower Planning Council;

3. Developing and distributing local program descriptions as aDirectory of Manpower and Related Services.

B. Findings

1. There was a good response to the project by neighborhoodbased agencies.Of the ninety-eight agencies approached, eighty-seven (89%) participated - over twenty more than anticipated.

2. There was n' problem gathering training program informa-tion. Thirty six (.1) different training programs contributed informa-tion and provided over 5,500 training slots,

3. Over 1,200 referrals were reported made as a direct resultof the NYCMIB system.(2)

4. Thera was a steady increase in the use of the NYCMIBsystem. For the first Sixteen weeks, 252 referral were made; overthe last eighteen weeks, 924 referrals were made.(3)

5. A survey of a sample of participating agencies indicatedthat b3% of referrals resulted in placenents.(4)

(4) "Special Sampling Report" to Manpower Administration by SHED,September, 1973.

1.

6. The survey indicated that the percentage of placements ofreferrals was almost equally as high for training slots which leadto high, medium and low paying jobs as categorized by DOL DOT Cedes.(5)

7. Findings from the project telephone log include the following(6)a. Requests for information about specific programs suggests a

bell curve. Inquiries were reluctant at start, peaked duringthe middle and slackened as manpower personnel became adeptat using the binder.

b. Requests for information in the use of the binder(6) is asomewhat sharper curve suggesting again, inquiries taperingoff as manpower personnel became mo:e knowledgeable in a-vailable manpower services.

c. Telephone training sessions in the use of the Bulletinsremained high over a six month period as new agencies wereintroduced and personnel changes occured at the referralagencies. An attenuation at the end of the project reflectsgreater knowledge on the part of referral agency personnel.

d. Persi'tent requests for referral data was a consistent fea-ture of the project.

e. Other specific (7) requests from referral agencies for tech-nical manpower information decreased as the project pro-ceeded - while referrals reported to NYCM18 increased.

8. Table 3 (see Table 3, page 9) is a compilation of data securedthrough SHED's survey of twelve agencies to determine the utility ofthe program.

a. Five indicated that =MID had provided new training slots.b. Three indicated that the formats and practices of NYCMIB

had aided their agencies in refining the manpower practicesof their agencies.

c. Three agencies indicated that their professional staff ef-ficiency had been increased through the concentration ofmanpower information in the Bulletins.

d. Four agencies indicated that the Bulletins insured cur-rency of information.

e. Three agencies recognized the duplication of most of thetraining information but indicated the concentration increasestheir productivity.

Footnotes:

(5) Under Table Ia,(page 7) Column 5 (College Adapter), 8 (DriverTraining), 16 (Recruitment and Training Program-formerly JointApprentice Program) and 23 (Warehouse Shipping and Receiving) areinstructive. In each of these categories there are more referralsthan openings. In the case of Programs under 16, these are low DOTCodes leading to good salaries; program under 5, although an educa-tional program, this is associated with higher earnings. Programunder Column 8 and 23 is a program dominated by minority males whocan meet entry level requirements.

III. Results

1. Thirty-three referral agencies located in the five boroughs ofNew York City, grouped under a selection criteria,(8) responded toSHED's first mailing of an invitational questionnaire (9) to partici-pate in the project.

At subsequent periods, sixty-five additional referral agencieswere invited to participate in the project.

Of this total recruitment of sixty-five agencies, eleven referralagencies withdrew; (10) twenty-nine additional referral agencies re-quested participation but were not accepted due to the anticipatedrefunding problem.

Of the total eighty-seven participating referral agenciesltwentyreturned the invitational questionnaire.

Of the total twenty-nine referral agencies requesting participa-tion, twenty-eight returned the invitational questionnaire.2. 201 Training Information Bulletins (11) using a format designed

by Manpower Specialists from New York City agencies were distributedfrom November 22, 1972 through November 11, 1973.3. Three instruction sheets (12) to update information content were

distributed at eight week intervals.4. By the sixth month of the project, 250 copies (,1:' each training

information bulletin sheet containing training slot information wasmailed on an approximate two week basis to the eighty-seven referralagencies.5. Using data as of September 11, 1973, thirty-six program agencies(13)

provided approximately 5,647 (14) training slots for distribution.

Footnotes:

(8) Criteria for selection included:(1) the "needs" concept, (2) theprofessional capacity of manpower agency personnel, (3) the agencyservice to "problem populations" e.g. ex-addicts, (4) the referralagencies' energetic response to SHED's invitation to participants.The total number or referral agencies served was 25% greater thanthe original condition of the grant. In addition, w:th multiplemailings, the total sheets distributed increased by 250%. Projectcosts reflect these changes in the original mailing estimates.

as sev.(several) and +. In the letter case of the coded 4-, thisnumber including general information sheets for JOBS, NeighborhoodYouth Corps, etc. would increase the totals significantly.

5.

6. Other training slot information was circulated as general informa-tion when the available slots were ongoing. (15) Table Is summarizesthe total slot distribution by training category as of September 11, 1973.

See Table Ia, page 7.

7. 1,079 referrals from referral agencies were reported as of September 11, 1973. Table Ia summarizes referrals submitted to NYCMIB by train-ing category.

See Table Ib, page 7

8. Forty six field visits were conducted to referral agencies inorder to check the condition of the binder. Using an interview formquestionnaire (16), visits to thirty-one agencies yielded the followingtable.

See Table 2, page 8.

9. Of the thirty-one agencies visited, twenty-seven were using thebinders actively and an updated binder was observed. Four agencies werenot using the binder. Twenty-two agencies requested that NYCM1B seek moretraining slots, particularly from private industry and slots relevant tomales 16-20.

10. A NYCMIB Manpower Services Directory (17) has been distributed tothirty-seven referral agencies and to ten program agencies.

Divided under fourteen manpower service categories, the Directorylists 801 places to obtain services as supplied by 450 agencies.

Footnotes:

(15) Program example of continuing slots is the Neighborhood YouthCorps, the New York City Board of Education programs. An exampleof program slots deemed not proper for NYCMIB distribution is theJob Opportunities in Business (JOBS)

IV. Problems

The problems of executing the grant canO)e organized into four majorgroups.

A. SHED

1. The first person chosen as assistant project director did notpossess a range of knowledge suitable for the project. The direct respon-sibility for the project impleme,tation shifted to the project director.The program suffered through insufficient responses from referral agenciesin returning their interview questionnaires(18) and a delay in initiatingwork for the Manpower Services Directory.(19)

2. The production time of the Manpower Services Directory was mis-calculated since the instrument had to be constantly checked and broughtup to date.

3. The misinterpretations of the initial measures led referralagencies to believe that =CB was mandated to follow up applicants atthe training site.

B. Referral Agencies

1. The major problem was the incessant prodding of NYCMIB referralagencies for information regarding'their referralsa11ulitratien4 2, page10, details the inquiries made for the referral information.

2. Once the referral agency began receiving the training bulletin,it was impossible to obtain the interview questionnaires that had notbeen promptly submitted in the early stages.

3. Some referral agencies insisted that NYCMIB should not distri-bute claims made by training agencies for future jobs based on trainingwhen, from their experience, such claims were false. =NIB discussedthe feasibility of seeking guidance from the funding agency in respectto these charges. Referral agencies never submitted any formal documentsthat could serve as a basis for this procedure. In effect, we had main-tained that we were not empowered to monitor; rather we were seeking interagency cooperation within very strict confines of the grant condition.

C. Etpaligkesaa

Delays in obtaining training slot information was due to thebureaucratic procedures of agency personnel authorized to decide ifthe agency wanted to participate.

D. Manpower Administration

The project vas completed without a single field visit nor anywritten response to the reports dispatched to the funding agency. Evennow, it is unclear what this means. Evaluating ourselves is not an

(18) See appendix B.

(19) See appendix G.

11.

easy task. Numerous staff discussions to discipline the referral agenciesfor not providing information, positive or negative, on their referrals,invariably ended with no action taken. Toward the end of the projectNYON/B had to decide whether an elaborate search for referrals was asimportant as the completion of the NYCMIB Vanpower Services Directory.(20)

Footnote:

(20) See appendix 0.

12.

V. Learnings

The learnings relate to the grant conditions and are reported animprovements to problems leading to the grant request.

1. Complaints that training slot information is not as dispersedas it should be has been somewhat altered through the distribution ofthese slots as new slots.

2. Manpower Information presented in a single format is useful asan aid in undermanned neighborhood agencies.

3. The problems of assessing the relation of unfilled trainingslots and the referral mechanisms of referral agencies is an area re-quiring sharp study.

VI. Conclusion

As a Research and Development project, the NYCMIB understandsthe problem of why such a grant should not be renewed by the ManpowerAdministration. In large part we feel that the utility of the projectrests on a realization by the local funding authority that the R&Daspect has been demonstrated. The project should, if worthwhile, bocontinued through local Department of Labor funds or funded by a CityAgency.
