The purpose of this experimental and demonstration project was to provide work experience to unemployed, low-income clients to improve their employability so they can be moved into permanent, unsubsidized employment. Changes of attitudes and motivations as a result of project experience were studied. Study findings indicated that the post-project group differed only slightly from the pre-project group on attitude and motivation toward the world of work, with the post-project group displaying a somewhat more intense psychological orientation toward work. Analysis was made of those completing the project and those who terminated. Completers had far fewer characteristics associated with hard-core unemployed, had better mental orientation and attitudes, had greater satisfaction with their jobs, their work site supervisor, and with the Employment Service staff, and were judged as having made greater improvement in skills. Both completers and terminators were dissatisfied with the quality, lack of skill improvement, and career opportunity of "work experience" slots. Staff perceptions of the project were positive and weaknesses mentioned were readily correctable. (SC)
