This report examines survey responses by Scottish part-time youth workers, their employers, and trainers about program training needs. Of primary concern to the study were the characteristics and roles of part-time staff, their level of satisfaction with existing training, and their attitudes toward a modular training system. A total of 96 interviews were carried out. Respondents were staff in public and voluntary youth clubs, and in young farmers', scouts', and girls' groups. The study found that youth-work training and refresher courses were valued, while generic courses were criticized. Training was considered successful when it involved practical, relevant work alongside experienced staff. Residential weekends were favored; distance learning was not. Main training access problems were seen to be caused by a lack of full-time staff and inadequate budgets. Experienced youth workers seemed to be offered fewer training opportunities than new staff. Most part-time staff favored modules but employers and trainers were more doubtful. Welfare rights organizations' training was better because representatives of these organizations seemed to have a clearer view of their aims and objectives. Local authority workers, however, seemed less clear about agency goals, making identification of training needs more difficult. The document recommends that organizations more clearly identify goals and needs, and make training as relevant to needs as possible. On-the-job training with experienced trainers also is encouraged. Questions of policy, information, support services, and the use of modules are discussed. (TES)
