The project, which was active between July 1966 and March 1968, involved the holding of planning sessions, a conference, and workshops and training sessions in addition to the preparation of recommendations. The statewide conference (November 1966) focused on the problems of young people, and representatives from the State's labor movement and from local social service agencies attended. The workshops and training sessions were held in a number of communities from January to June 1967. These attempted to identify the means by which greater labor movement involvement in the employment and on-the-job counseling of youthful offenders could be accomplished. Project staff recommended that organized labor should be involved in the initial and final stages of planning for the employment of hard core youth on the State, city, and county levels. In each area, committees should be responsible for the coordination and implementation of activity to assist in obtaining suitable employment. Union personnel should be selected for training as on-the-job counselors to help maintain young offenders in their jobs. Finally, both the building and industrial trades are called upon to help provide job training. Appendixes contain research and curriculum materials for the workshops and training sessions.
