A View From The Governor s Office
By Gov. Raymond P. Shafer
VVViVAWI‘rtWi i 1
This Administration under
scores its commitment to help
persons who want to help them
selves by providing the prime
requisite opportunity.
Our continuous work-training
programs for the poor are firm
ly designed to counteract the
poverty cycle.
A new 24-week phase just be
gun will provide career-related
experience for some 900 low
income citizens. Working in
State institutions, the trainees,
mostly from families receiving
public assistance, are being
trained in a variety of work
experiences concurrent with
job training and remedial edu
cation Some participants take
high school equivalency courses
to develop fully their potential
These programs are in three
categories Neighborhood
Youth Corps, New Careers and
Commonwealth Careers. The
newest program, Common
wealth Careers, which I initiat
ed last July, is entirely State
funded and designed for gen
eral assistance recipients
Operating on three-month cyc
les, it is currently entering its
fouith phase, with nearly 200
participants
The oldest of the projects,
the State-wide Neighborhood
Youth Corps (NYC) was initiat
ed in the summer of 1965 to pro
vide high school students of
low-income families with vaca
tion work experience and the
opportunity to earn money to
stay in school A job-training
project at State institutions was
added to the NYC program in
January, 1966
There are currently two se
parate Neighborhood Youth
Corps programs- summer work
experience for boys and girls
designed primarily tc prevent
high school dropouts and year
round work for persons training
in all areas of institutional
woik The institutional NYC
project has 345 peisons enroll
ed.
The New Careei s project was
pioneered in Pennsylvania dur
ing my Administration in Sep
tember. 1967 This program off
ers special training in clinical
jobs in institutions These jobs
provide good prospects for pro
motion because they are of a
more technical nature Theie
are 365 peisons em oiled
Since these programs were
instituted, moie than 900 per
sons have been placed in full
time permanent employment
The current cost of the Nei
ghborhood Youth Corps and
New Caieer programs is esti
mated at $950,000 Eighty per
cent of that cost will be paid by
the United States Department
of Labor with the Common
wealth making up the remain
ing 20 percent
The Department of Public
Welfare has earmarked $575,000
for one year in personnel and
training funds for the Common
wealth Career Program.
The Commonwealth Career
Program reinforces the State’s
drive to expand opportunities
for the needy It takes a positive
approach to their employability,
replacing the mere “working
out the grant” concept with a
dignified work plan that offers

the chance to get ahead open
ing a door too often closed to
persons in this category.
The program also is aimed at
areas of the greatest need and
at persons on the assistance
rolls who do not have education
al or employment credentials,
but do have potential for em
ployment.

The retention rate for these
trainees after becoming em
ployes compares favorably with
that of regular employes. Since
their inception, these programs
have proven to be a major re
source for the hiring of new em
ployes for the State institutions.
Nursing homes, general hospi
tals, and other health services
also benefit by hiring these
trained people.
