The Women's Employment Network (WEN) is a college-based program funded by the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) that provides job search and placement assistance to an average of 130 low-income women each year. Program components include an intensive job-search class, which assists participants in assessing their work skills, values, and interests; evaluating the local labor market; and using innovative job search techniques. In addition, the program uses an array of cognitive behavioral techniques, including automatic thought stopping, reinstatement of past reinforcers, increased socialization, graded task fulfillment, cognitive rehearsal, reinforcement of positive affect and behavior, and time management. WEN operates through a performance-based contract between the Seattle King County Private Industry Council (PIC) and South Seattle Community College (SSCC). The college underwrites the program's staffing and supply costs until it has billable earnings based on student enrollment, completion of training, job placement, and job retention. Though JPTA funding fluctuates in response to external forces, the college has benefited from and received regional recognition for the WEN program. The experiences of SSCC suggest that the success of a JTPA/community college partnership rests on the responsiveness of program staff in meeting the changing needs of both the community college and the local PIC.
