In March 1985, the Escambia County School District in Florida entered a public-private partnership with more than 500 employers through the Private Industry Council and began a series of Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs to meet the employment and training needs of disadvantaged youth and adults living in the local community. The program provides a continuum of remedial education, job training, and employment services that has achieved the following results: 291 disadvantaged youth achieved a half-grade level gain in their academic functioning after only 3 months of remedial instruction in a computer-assisted instructional program, 993 non-JTPA students were also able to benefit from the program during fiscal 1987, 8 recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children completed teachers' aide training and found employment in the Escambia County School District, 348 youth and adults were recruited and referred to occupational skills training at the George Stone Area Vocational Technical Center, and 53 handicapped students received training in the construction trades. The JTPA employment component of the continuum has helped 511 special needs youth find employment through several different placement programs. This project report includes an operating procedures guide (covering start-up, laboratory set-up, student management, proctor activities, and laboratory behaviors); information sheets for students and teachers; project forms; and training materials for students, teachers, and proctors.
