State program leads
welfare recipients
in 'New Directions'
By RICH KIRKPATRICK
Associated Press Writer
HARRISBURG Mary Welsch
was working at a convenience
store, but her wage wasn't enough
to keep her and her son off wel
fare.
The Drexel Hill woman then saw
a brochure about a state program
called New Directions. She
received training as a graphic art
ist and landed a job in August after
being on welfare for two years.
She's already had a raise, to $8 an
hour, and has left welfare behind.
"I have a lot more options than I
had before," said Welsch, 26, the
300,000 th welfare recipient to
graduate from New Directions into
full-time work. She met with
Gov. Robert P. Casey at the exec
utive mansion yesterday.
"In every corner of the country,
people are talking about reforming
welfare," Casey said. "The best
welfare reform is a job. And Mary
Welsch is living proof that in
Pennsylvania, we do more than
talk. We deliver."
New Directions united programs
from the Welfare, Labor and
Industry, Education, Community
Affairs and Commerce depart
ments in 1987 to help cut welfare
rolls through training and follow
up support. Seventy-two percent of

"I have a lot more

before."

New Directions participant
the people who have gone through
the program are still off welfare
five years later, said Welfare
Department spokeswoman Mary
Ellen Fritz.
The state has saved $llO million
so far. The program, which cost
$7B million this year, is being
studied by the Clinton administra
tion as part of its welfare reform,
Fritz said.
As a divorced mother with no
professional skills, Welsch was
typical of many who fall into wel
fare. While she was in training for
nine months, she received help
paying for day care, clothing and
transportation. She will retain
medical assistance benefits until
next August.
"The program is wonderful; I'm
glad it was there," Welsch said.
The program also targets men on
welfare who owe child support.
Once they are trained and find
work, they can start support pay
ments.
