LEA/CETA: Collaboration for Career Education. (A Series of Fifteen Mini-Conferences.)
Hoyt, Kenneth; And Others
The series of fifteen mini-conferences reported here involved local education agency (LEA) and Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) representatives from a sample of communities in examination of LEA/CETA collaboration. This report gives the results--what transpired--as noted by the conferences' conductor, Kenneth Hoyt, in the form of reconstructed questions and answers, main points of discussion, and capsule accounts of how the LEA/Prime Sponsor Agreement (as mandated by the Youth Employment Training Program [YETP] of CETA) was working in the respective community. A list of issues raised by the participants is included in the report, while each conference report gives the few major concerns from the participants' own lists that were actually discussed and what was done about them--concerns such as how to avoid duplication of services, or how to arrange for academic credit for YETP participants, or how to help educators learn what they need to know about CETA. Hoyt notes that (1) there are common threads of concerns; (2) there are no basic problems raised to which multiple solutions had not already been found by some set of communities; and (3) it is amazing how rapidly and well communities made the LEA/Prime Sponsor Agreements work.
