Hearing on the Expansion of the Job Corps Program. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Employment Opportunities of the Committee on Education and Labor. House of Representatives, One Hundred Second Congress, Second Session (Fresno, California).
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
This document reports the oral and written testimony of witnesses who appeared before a House of Representatives hearing centered on the accomplishments of the Job Corps and the need for a new Job Corps center in Fresno, California. (The Job Corps is a 25-year-old program that trains disadvantaged youth and places them in jobs.) Witnesses, who included federal and local officials, and business and union representatives, testified that the Job Corps has had a long record of accomplishments and that having a Job Corps center in Fresno would be good for the area, which has a high dropout and youth unemployment rate. They strongly urged the establishment of a Job Corps center in the city. (KC)
