COASTAL BEND OVERVIEW
Identifying and clarifying the Coastal Bend's manpower needs requires an
understanding of its demography, economy, and occupational demands. This
section summarizes Appendix I which contains the population characteristics
(Table I) and the "Universe of Need."
D240GRAPHY
Size and Distribution
The total population of the Coastal Bend Area, according to 1970 Census
figures, was 434,034 people. Of this total, 237,542 people (54.7 percent)
lived in Nueces County, while the Corpus Christi Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (Nueces and San Patricio Counties) accounted for 2849832
people or 65.6 percent of the total population of the planning area.
Nueces County and the three counties which are adjacent to it (Kleberg,
Jim Vells, and San Patricio) numbered 351,035 people (80.9 percent), while
the remaining nine counties (Aransas, Bee, Brooks, Duval, Karnes, Kenedy,
Live Oak, McMullen, and Refugio) accounted for 82,999 people or 19.1 per-
cent of the population.)
Racial and Ethnic Composition
A breakout of racial and ethnic population figures shows that minority
groups (Spanish - Americans, Blacks, and Others *) made up the majority
population of the Coastal Bend Area. Census figures revealed that minority
groups constituted 50.7 percent of the population compared to 49.3
percent for Caucasians. ** In terms of inhabitants, persons of minority
extraction numbered 220,054, while the Caucasian group accounted for
213,980 people.
Although minorities made up a majority population in the planning area,
the Caucasian group constituted a.majority in the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (SMSA). In the SMSA, Caucasians numbered 145,202, while
minorities accounted for 139,628 people (Spanish- Americans, 126,774; Blacks,
11,853; and Others, 1,001.). In the remaining eleven counties, minorities
accounted for 80,426 people (Spanish - Americans, 76,356; Blacks, 3,542; and
Others, 528) or 53.9 percent of the eleven - county total, while Caucasians
numbered 68,778 or 46.1 percent.2
*001er Races include American Tndi.ans, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans,
and all Other ]faces not counted as Black, Spanish - American or Caucasian.
* *1:01: the purpo_cs of this report, Lhe term "Caucasian" includes all
Caucasians minus; Spanish-Americans.

Age Characteristics
According to 1970 Census figures, 51.6 percent of the total population of
the Coastal Bend Area was under 25 years of age. A breakdown by age groups
shows that 20.9 percent of the people were 0 -9 years, 13.8 percent from
10 -15 years, 8.3 percent from 16 -19 years, 3.7 percent from 20 -21 years,
27.7 percent from 22 -44 years, 10.3 percent 45 -54 years, and 15.3 percent
were 55 years and over. Of the 434,034 people living in the Coastal Bend
Area during 1970, 252,181 people or 58.1,percent of the total population
were in the prime working age group (16 to 64 years old). Persons over 65
years of age accounted for 31,121 or 7.2 percent of the total.
A further breakdown of age grouping revealed that 59.1 percent of all Spanish-
Americans were under 25 years of age, compared to 52.1 percent for Blacks,
49.4 percent for Others, and 44.5 percent for Caucasians, while 9.3 percent
of all Caucasians were 65 years of age and over, compared to 7.0 percent for
Blacks, 4.9 percent for Spanish- Americans, and 3.6 percent for Others. Figures
on'those individuals of prime working age, 16 to 64 years, showed that 53.4
percent were Caucasians, 42.7 percent were Spanish - Americans, 3.5 percent were
Blacks, and 0.4 percent were Others.3
Income and Povertv Status
In 1970, there were 112,941 individuals (26.5 percent of population) in
poverty in the Coastal Bend Area. Of these 112,941 people, 85,272 (75.5
percent) were Spanish - Americans, 21,436 (19.0 percent) were Caucasians,
5,853 (5.2 percent) were Blacks, and 379 (0.3 percent) were Others. A
further breakdown of poverty figures shows that 42 percent of Spanish -
Americans were in poverty, 10 percent of Caucasians were in poverty, 38
percent of Blacks were in poverty, and 24.8 percent of Others were in
poverty.
The near -poor persons with incomes less than 125 percent of poverty
totalled 148,144 or 34.8 percent of all persons, while the "poor- poor"
persons with incomes less than 75 percent of the poverty level numbered
76,756 or 18.0 percent. A breakout of "poor- poor" persons shows that
57,916 were Spanish - Americans, 14,936 were Caucasians, 3,745 were Blacks,
and 159 were Others. Twenty -eight percent of Spanish - Americans were
"poor- poor," as compared to 7 percent of Caucasians, 24 percent of Blacks,
and 10 percent of Others.
Some 22,056 (21.2 percent of families) received less yearly income than
the poverty level. Of these families in poverty, 4,968 (22.5 percent)
were headed by women.
Median Caucasian family income was $7,542 compared with $4,996 for Blacks,
$6,279 for Other Maces, and $5,193 for Spanish- Am.cricans.
In 1969, one -half of the families received under $7,429 per year while
13,115 (12.6 percent) received incorios over $15,000 per year.4
Education Characteristics
Of the total population over 25 years old, 56.5 percent had less than a
high school education, while 43.5 percent had graduated from high school
and 9.1 percent were college graduates. One -half of the Caucasian popu-
lation age 25 and over had at least 11 years of education compared with
10 years for Blacks, 12.2 years for Others, and 6.7 years for Spanish -
Americans.
School enrollment rates for persons 16 -21 years old were 58.2 percent
for Caucasians, 53.6 percent for Blacks, 67.6 percent for Others, and
57.4 percent for Spanish - Americans. Of the population 16 -21 years old,
22,260 (42.7 percent) were not enrolled in school. Of this total, 11,790
were high school graduates and 10,470 were dropouts. During 1970 there
were 33 percent- of the graduates and 56.3 percent of the dropouts who
were unemployed.5
.Employment and Unemployment
The civilian labor force in 1970 was 148,325 people. Of this total,
82,458 individuals (55.6 percent) were Caucasians, 5,745 (3.8 percent)
Blacks, 415 (0.3 percent) Others, and 59,707 (40.3 percent) Spanish -
Americans. The total labor force participation rate for the Coastal
Bend Area in 1970 was 55.8 percent. Civilian employment in the area
(1970) totalled 141,811 with 79,545 (56 percent) Caucasians at work;
5,454 (3.8 percent) Blacks; 401 (0.3 percent) Others; and 56,411 (39.8
percent) Spanish - Americans. The largest number of jobs occurred in four
major industry divisions - services, retail trade, manufacturing, and
construction. Federal, State, and local governments employed 26,519
persons in nonagricultural jobs or 18.7 percent of the total employed
in the area. In 1970, occupational groups employing the largest number
of persons included; 44.9 percent white collar workers; 35.1 percent
blue collar workers; 14.8 percent service workers; and 5.2 percent farm
workers. Total employment in low -pay and low- status occupations was
17.6 percent for Caucasians, 48 percent for Blacks, 23.9 percent for
Others, and 31.3 percent for Spanish - Americans.
Unemployment totalled 6,514 or 4.4 percent of the civilian labor force
during 1970, with 5.5 percent Spanish- Americans unemployed, 5.1 percent
Blacks, 4.4 percent Caucasians, and 3.4 percent Others. There were 8,355
persons unemployed in 1972 or a 5.0 unemploymont rate.
Tn 1970, persons 16 years old and over not in the armed forces, not at
r 'work, and not looking for cork totalled 125,176. Of these, 1.4 percent
were in institutions and 19.9 percent were enrolled in school. There
were 11,224 persons in the area between 16 -64 years old who were dis-
abled or handicapped.
During 1970, there were 107,881. individuals 16 years and over who worked
50 -52 wcoku, while 29,697 worked 40 -49 week, 14,724 worked 27 -39 weeks,
12,455 worked 14 -26 ucelcs, 18,600 worked 13 wcaka or less, and 108,945
did not work at all.6
ECONOMY
The economic outlook for the Coastal Bend Area for FY 1974 is highly
favorable. Economic projections show that gross production will be up
10 percent through most of Fiscal Year 1974, but will show a leveling off
trend towards the end of the year. It is possible that this stimulated
economy will cause the unemployment rate to reach an all -time low. The
job market for students coming out of college will be good in the service
industries such as banking, marketing, health services, fast food services,
and utilities.
The inflation factor of 6 percent will remain about the same, which is as
high as it has ever been. Interest rates on corporate borrowing will in-
crease, however, prime rates should level off at 7 or 711 percent. There
will be no major increase in income taxes, but state and local taxes will
take a jump in 1974 particularly in the revaluation of property tares.
The economic forecast for most of the major industrial sectors looks
promising. Construction, fishing, manufacturing, services, tourism, and
wholesale and retail trade will show an upward trend during fiscal Year
1974, while agriculture and mining will remain at the same level. Federal
government is the only industry which will show a decline during the'coming
fiscal year. This decline could be offset by an increase in State and
local government.7
Agriculture
Employment in agriculture should level off during Fiscal Year 1974, showing
a possible upward trend for the first time in more than two decades. Farm
production should show a significant increase, with grain sorghum, cattle,
hogs, and poultry yielding high prices during the year. There are three
factors which will contribute to high economic production of agriculture
products: (1) the Russian Grain deal, (2) the stoppage of farm subsidies
by the Federal government, and (3) the consumer demand for beef, pork,
and poultry. Fiscal Year 1974 should be a booming year for the agriculture
sector of the economy.
Construction
Employment in the construction industry will reach an all -time high in
the Coastal Bend Aren during FY 1974. This increase will be attributed
to the demand for new retail outlets, hotels, motels, condominiums, and
multiple dwelling housing. Construction in single dwelling housing will
decline as the cost of building materials will continue to rise. Houses
thaL sold for $20,000 during FY 1973 will be expected to increase 10
percent or more for the next year. People presently in the market. for
$12,000 - 15,000 house:: will be hurt the greatest because. of the increase
in the cost of housing construction. This will create a need for multiple
dwellilir housing.
Another factor which will contribute to t:he construction boom is a highly
nClnnclal'rd tounomy which urLl.l crcatr. a cicm.md for morn reLa11 outlets
because of lnc-rona:cd demand for };00(10 and scrvicos. The third and final
factor which will cunl:r:.(huLr_ to the constructlorr Indu:;Lry is the tourie:t
trade. Tourism is creating a demand for hotels, motels, and condominiums.
The development of Padre and Mustang Islands and beaches in Rockport and
Corpus Christi has shown a significant increase in the building of single
dwelling housing, hotels, motels, and condominiums.
Fishing
Fiscal Year 1974 will be a good year for'the fishing industry. With the
high price of beef, poultry, and pork, the fishing industry will escalate
to an all -time high. This industry produces about $35 million annually
but the production should increase this year. The Gulf Coast of Texas
should produce between 35 and 40 percent of the total national production
of shrimp during the coming year.
Government
Employment in government should show a decline during Fiscal Year 1974. Al-
though State, local, and county governments will remain stable, there will
be a cut in Federal employment. This cut will be caused by the Administration's
reduction in Federal agency expenditures and the end of the Vietnam war. A
reduction in the size of the workforce and operations of-the area's four mili-
tary installations is forecasted.
Manufacturing
Employment in manufacturing is increasing and will continue to increase
during the coming fiscal year. The major new contributors to this increase
will be E. I. DuPont deNemours and Company, El Paso Natural Gas Company,
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, Big Three Industries, Brown and
Root, American Petrofina, and Veeco Corporation. Major companies now in
operation include PPG Industries - Chemical Division, Southern Alkali Cor-
poration, American Smelting and Refining Company, Coastal States Gas
Producing Company, Celanese Chemical Company, Centex Cement.Corporation,
Reynolds Metals Company, Haggar Slacks, Levi Strauss and Company, E. L.
Caldwell and Son, Producers Grain Corporation, Benilite Corporation of
America and IHC Holland LeTourneau Corporation.
Mining
Employment in the mining industry should remain stable during Fiscal Year
1974. Texas and the Coastal Bend have an abundant supply of natural re-
sources. Annually, Texas accounts for nearly one - fourth of the total
national mineral production, while the Coastal Bend account's for 12.1 per-
cent of the total Texan production. Most of the area's mineral production
is petroleum and natural gad.
An important: factor which could affect this industry's economic outlook
is a national enerl',y cr1sL;. RaLlonl.nl; of gavollnu could put this area
III a position of a: ;sistiug In the di;,LribuLion of the nat'ion's petroleum
need::. Thln crisis would cau : ;e the PorL of Cotpuo Christi to play an
importnat rule In Lhc .importhip and storing of foreign crude oil. Two
area company:;, American PeLrofi.na Couq;any and Conntnl. :'Ultas Cas Producing
Company are currently importing foreign crude oil. With the possibility
of a deep -water inshore port located at Harbor Island, other gas producing
companies would have an accessible facility to import foreign crude oil
by super - tankers.
The future for the mining industry looks good provided state and Federal
agencies put into effect regulations that will guarantee that natural gas
and oil production will have sufficient income to continue operation on a
profitable basis.
Tourism
Tourism should increase during the coming fiscal year. In 1954, tourism
brought into the economy $16 million. Since that time, tourism has grown
to a $160 million yearly industry. Last year, two million people came
into this area for overnight fishing, conventions, and other tourist -
related activities. Tourism is expected to increase but should there be
rationing of gasoline brought about by a national energy. crisis, the pic-
ture could significantly change.
States which provide the most tourists to the area are.Minnesota, Illinois,
Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.
INDUSTRIAL AND OCCUPATIONAL DFli&NDS
Industrial Projections
The preceding section indicates a bright economic outlook for Fiscal Year
1974. Unemployment will reach an all -time low, creating a demand for more
people in the labor force. Industries which will show the fastest rate
of growth and employ new workers will include:
construction truck transportation
transportation equipment public transportation
apparel manufacturing
services trade
farming railroads
shipping finance and insurance
food products stone and clay products
The factors which will contribute to these fast - growing industries include
more jobs and more money which will create a demand for goods and services,
the transportation of these goods, and construction of outlets to distribute
these goods and services, and the production of goods to meet consumer de-
mands.
Industries which will remain stable or show a slight decline are:
communications public utilities
fabrleaLed vu•La.l.s Llectrical machinery
111sLt•uunentn chemical, products
rubber mid plar,l.ics franchising
mining non- electric machinery
One factor which will cause these industries to level off or show some de-
cline is the national energy crisis. Many of these industries are petro-
chemical companies, which rely on by— products from oil and gas or other
natural resources located in the area. Other reasons include the lack of
demand for certain goods and services, many of which have reached a satura-
tion point, and major cutbacks in some of these industries which will limit
production.
Occupational Projections
The Surplus and Demand Occupational Chart on page 9 projects the total demand
for a selected number of occupations which can be trained for during Fiscal
Year 1974. This list does not represent all surplus and demand occupations
in the area, but assists in identifying occupations that are suitable for
manpower training programs.
The first column of the Surplus and Demand Occupational Chart lists the
selected uccupations suitable for training in manpower programs during
FY 1974.
The 1970 Coastal Bend Employment Column shows the actual number of people
employed in these selected occupations in that year. This base information
was derived from 1970 census information. . _
The Projected 1974 Coastal Bend Employment Column is derived from the 1970
Employment Column by applying the projected State growth for each specific
occupation and adjusting for economic development in the area.
The Coastal Bend Expansion Needs 1974 Column indicates the number of new
openings which will result from the expansion of the economy.
The Coastal Bend Replacement Needs Column shows the number of people that
will be needed to replace vacancies which'will occur because of the turnover,
retirement, or death factors. This figure was derived by applying state
percentages of replacement and expansion rates to local replacement and ex-
pansion rates.
Finally, the Coastal Bend Total Demand 1974 Column is the number of jobs
which will become available in the selected occupations during Fiscal Year
1974.
Job Demands in the health and Social Services Fields
Persons working in the health care fields constitute a significant portion
of the labor force. Therefore, an analysis of the number of people working
in the healL-h field and the Lypes of occupations in which they are working
need to he addressed.
Therc are 27 hospitals in the area (2,580 beds) employing 4,750 persons.
Tile 26 nursing or collvalCncenL homes (2,5,18 be(1s) employ :111 estimated
3,500 persons. These Lwo employment suurces account- for a total of 8,250
jobs.
Professional practitioners (physicans, dentists, optometrists, and kindred
occupations) total about 750 jobs. These occupations generally employ at
least two additional persons (one health worker —UN, RN, Dental Assistant,
Optician, etc. - -and one clerical worker -- secretary, medical records librarian,
insurance clerk, etc.). If those who employ more than two at least counter-
balance those who employ fewer, it is estimated that there will be a minimum
of 1,500 such positions within the area.
Not included in the above figures are large numbers of health and social
welfare workers employed with such organizations as Mental Health /Mental
Retardation community centers, the Red Cross and other voluntary organi-
zations with paid staffs, alcoholism and drug abuse programs, community
action agencies, family planning groups, and other groups. During 1972
there were 200 registered nurses and 100 licensed vocational nurses work-
ing in health positions not employed by hospitals, nursing homes, or pri-
vate doctors.
A minimal estimate of employment within the health fields in the Coastal
Bend Area indicates that at least 712 percent and possibly.better than 10
percent of the jobs within the area are in this field. Currently expanding
programs (particularly the nursing home field) and an increased concern that
adequate health care be extended to all citizens will continue to increase
the employment opportunities within this field at a rate equal to or greater
than that of the rest of the economy.$
Demand occupations in the health field are:
licensed vocational nurses physical therapists
registered nurses (especially occupational therapists
in geriatric and pediatric x —ray technologists
care) mental health technician
dietician and /or nutritionists emergency medical technician

PRIORITIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section of the plan will define manpower targets and goals in terms of
people needing services, employers needing employable workers, and a design
for the provision of services that will insure a high level of success in
moving the people into the jobs in the shortest possible time and in the
most efficient manner.
MANPOWER POLICY
The City of Corpus Christi, charged with the responsibility of planning for
manpower needs in the Coastal Bend Area, hereby establishes the following
policy:
A. To continue exercising leadership in the development and execution
of a manpower delivery system through the framework of the Manpower
Area Planning Council.
B. To assist those individuals who are unable to obtain self- sustaining
employment: by training, upgrading, and rendering supportive services
in order to provide career development opportunities for citizens
who are now restricted from competing equally in the labor market.
This policy will be executed by:
1. Providing training and upgrading in occupations which are
compatible with the economic development of the Coastal Bend
Area.
2. Establishing and maintaining efficient utilization of exist-
ing facilities and resources.
3. Designing effective linkages between local, State, and Federal
agencies thereby eliminating gaps in services and duplication
of effort.
4. Offering career development opportunities to individuals in
need of manpower services regardless of race, color, creed,
sex, age, or national origin.
5. Offerin; manpower opportunitie§ according to need in the
Coastal Bend Area including the following counties: Aransas,
Bee, Brooks, Duval, .lien Wells, Karnes, Kenedy, Klebcrg, Live
Oak, McMullen, Nueces, Refugio, and San Patricio.
This manpower policy will govern manpower planning efforts in the Coastal
Bend Manpower Planning Area and will be adapted to new community developments.
TARGET GROUPS
1. Minority Groups
11
The highest incidence of poverty in the Coastal Bend Area occurs among
minority groups, with 81 percent of the total number of people in poverty
being minority group members. A breakdown of this 81 percent shows that
75.5 percent of all people in poverty are Spanish - Americans compared to
5.2 percent for Blacks and 0.3 percent for Other Faces. Comparing minority
poverty status to the total minority population of the area reveals that
42 percent of Spanish - Americans are in poverty, while 38 percent of Blacks
and 24.8 percent of Others are living in poverty. Unemployment rates by
race /ethnic groups show that 5.5 percent of Spanish- Americans are unemployed,
compared to 5.1 percent for Blacks, and 3.4 percent for Others.
The educational attainment among minority groups is low. Figures for
minorities 25 .years of age and over show that 58 percent of Spanish - Americans
and 31.2 percent of Blacks have less than an eighth grade education, and
78.7 percent Spanish - Americans and 70.7 percent Blacks have not completed
high school. The average years of education completed for minorities 25
years and over, shows that Spanish - Americans have completed 6.7 years,
compared to 10 years for Blacks. Although Blacks have a higher educational
attainment than Spanish - Americans, they have benefitted less in terms of
meaningful employment.
The major problem areas affecting the economic status of minorities are
lack of job skills and low educational attainment, compounded by mechani-
zation in farm and manual labor jobs once relied upon by the unskilled,
uneducated person to make a living. It is estimated that there will be
37,456 people who are minorities in need of manpower services during
Fiscal Year 1974 in this area.
2. Working Poor and Unemployed
The working poor person is an individual who is employed part -time for
economic reasons, or employed full -time but with a family income at or
below poverty level. Characteristics of the working poor are low educa-
tional attainment, lack of skill development, and an income at poverty
status. Figures show that in the Coastal Bend Area there are 58 percent
Blacks, 31.3 percent Spanish - Americans, 23.9 percent Other Races, and
17.6 percent Caucasians who are employed in, low -pay and low- status occu-
pations. During Fiscal Year 1974, it is estimated that there will be
5,023 working poor people in need of manpower services.
A poor person (according to Federal definitions of disadvantaged) is a person
who is a member of a family (1) which receives ca.,-,h welfare payment„ or
(2) whnse annual ineame in relation to family size nod location does not
exceed the criteria in the poverty Levcl Income Chart on page 12.
The unemployed per:;on like Lhe working poor person .t a group that must be
addressed. During 1972, there cacrc 8,355 unemployed perrons In the Coastal
Bend Arc.,. 71ce definition of no unemployed per::un as defined by the De-
partmc•nv of Labor. :I;; a peranu who In 1u Lite civiltau labor force, who has
no employment and is available for work, and (1) Las engiged in any specific
12
job - seeking activity within the past four weeks (this includes registering
at a public or priv'te employment office, meeting with prospective employers,
writing letters of application, or placing or answering advertisements),
(2) was waiting to be called to a job from which he has been laid off, or
(3) was waiting to report to a new ;..,age or salary job scheduled to start
within the following 30 days. workers in farm families with less than $1200
annual net family income shall be considered unemployed.

7 6200 5275
For families with more than 7 members, add $750 for each
additional member in a nonfartn family and $650 for each
additional member in a farm family.
3. Migrants
Mechanization started to have impact on seasonal workers employed in the
agricultural industry in the late 1950's. By 1960, many of these ;corkers
had been displaced by farm machinery. The definition of a migrant is: a
farm worker who has had to leave his home base area to participate in farm
work which was too far away to allow daily commuting from job site to home
base and who has migrated during either of the last two agricultural seasons
and earned at least 50 percent of his income from farm work.
In 1968, it was estimated that there were 15,600 migrants in the Coastal
Bend Area, but current school records which identify youth of migrant status
indicate that there are 12,000 to 14,000 migrants in this area. There is
also a large number of ex- migrants in the Coastal Bend Area who are not
eligible for migrant benefits under the Federal definition and who are dis-
advantaged now because of their ex- migrant status.
4. Youth
In 1970, there were 52,240 young people ages 16 -21 in the Coastal Bend Area.
Of this total, 22,260 were not enrolled in school - 11,790 were high school.
graduates and 10,470 were dropouts. In this age group, statistics show that
33 percent of high school graduates and 56.3 percent of the dropouts were
unemployed. It is estimated for FY 1974 that there will be 3,991. youth drop
ouL of school and another 6,000 who are in school but who are on the verge
of dropping Out' because. of c•ConomJc reasons. Uncr:ployMwnt among youth is

MANPOWER DELIVERY STRATEGY
The overall result to be obtained from a delivery system should yield
maximum benefits using minimum federal resources. Maximum benefits will
be measured in terms of training and placement accomplished through manpower
functions. This manpower delivery system will establish a unified effort
under a central coordinating leadership responsive to grass roots input
from the 13- county area. Because Fiscal Year 1974 is a transitional period
between categorized and decategorized programs, a total overall manpower
delivery system has not yet been developed. A total strategy for a Man-
power Revenue Sharing Program will be designed and implemented by Fiscal
Year 1975. However, for Fiscal Year 1974, a realistic strategy has been
designed to meet categorical restraints which were outlined in the planning
guidelines.
General Application of Strategy
In developing training and placement strategies directed at the target
groups identified as minorities, working poor and unemployed, migrants,
and youth 16 -21 throughout the Manpower Planning Area, one of the key
issues will be the centralization and decentralization of manpower ac-
tivities. Many manpower functions such as institutional training will
be located at central points because of existing facilities such as Del
Mar Technical Institute. In order to decentralize these activities,
bringing them closer to the people they serve, Bee County College in
Beeville will be approached to implement institutional training for the
Northern part of the planning area. Del Mar Technical Institute, in
Corpus Christi, will continue to be utilized as an important training
facility serving the Central and Southwestern parts. It would be de-
sirable to establish training programs through an institution to serve
the Southern part, however, at the present time there is no such facility.
State and local education agencies will be called upon to provide leader-
ship and manpower training. The possibility of using high schools or
other facilities will be investigated.
Intake, job referrals, and job placement will be decentralized into two
geographically strategic locations by the establishment of small intake
and referral centers utilizing existing facilities. One will. serve the
Northern part and the other will'serve the Southwestern part of the area.
The specific sites will be selected by the Manpower Area Planning Council
during the year.
Areas not serviced by institutional training will receive greater atten-
tion through cork experience and on- the -job training resources.
Spocific St:ratory to be 7m Iericnted
7'he specific manpowor strategy for the Coastal Bend Manpower Area Planning
Council for Fiscal Yeal- 1974 will be :;huple - it: will be to relate manpower
prograns to the 1douLif Led targ(!t group:.• 7'ho five major manpower functions
14
to be addressed are field outreach, basic and pre - vocational education,
skill training, job placement, and supportive services.
1. Field Outreach is necessary to recruit those people with psychological
or cultural barriers which prevent them from using manpower services. It
is also necessary to reach those who have become discouraged and have dropped
out of the labor market, however, too much emphasis on outreach can dilute
funds available for training. It also has a tendency to recruit too many
people who are not motivated and enter training only for stipend monies.
Resources for field outreach should be performed on a limited basis but
should be adequate to meet the recruiting demands of the program it is
serving.
2. Basic and Prevocational Education is necessary to prepare persons of
low educational attainment for skill training and other manpower services.
This specific major function should address the low educational attainment
of 6.7 years of school completed with which the Spanish - American is handi-
capped. Most occupations at present require basic skills that can be ob-
tained from this function: (1) reading, (2) arithmetic computation, (3)
verbal communication in English, and (4) other related skills. Therefore,
basic adult and prevocational education is an important transitional stage
in preparing an individual for skill training and /or job placement.
3. Skill Training is necessary to meet specific job requirements. Skill
training comes in the form of institutional training, upgrading, on- the -job
training, and work experience. Skill training will be geographically de-
centralized as much as possible to bring the services closer to the rural
areas in the Coastal Bend. Graduates or dropouts of institutional training
will not be eligible for another program under institutional training for
a two -year period unless they are recertified for re -entry by the program
director.
4. Job Placement will obtain employment for people trained through manpower
services. It will also assist persons with little job- obtaining skills by
placing them in employment. Programs funded under manpower revenue sharing
shall not duplicate individuals placed in jobs during the year for reporting
purposes. Therefore, if an individual is placed in three different jobs
during the fiscal year, he will be counted as only one person. placed. All
job placement efforts must be coordinated with the Texas Employment Commission.
5. Supportive Services such as tuition, stipends, travel, and day care are
important to a person to succeed in training and job procurement and will
be provided through waupower revenue sharing funds. However, efforts will
be made to fully utilize other c::isting supportive services available in
the Manpower Planning Area In order to channel more funds to' education and
skill training. ,
These manpower functions. should be fully coordinated to allow an individual
seeki.nf; manpoc cr services to obtain services necessary to be placed in em-
plo)TUrnt. The di.it;rum on p.:gc 16 illusLrates the design of the Coastal Bend
manpower delivery :;ysLcm.
In alleviating the manpower nuedn and In addressing, the target groups iden-
tified, tlue fullowiny, program:: will i;erve Lhe people of the 13- county area.
15
MA Institt:itional will be implemented through Bee County Junior College,
Del Mar Technical Institute, and in area school districts. The possibility
of coordinating With other surrounding CAMPS areas for joint MTTA Insti-
tutional training will be explored to provide training for those individuals
who live in a common rural labor market. b1DTA Institutional will service
disadvantaged individuals and veterans and upgrade the area's working poor.
atic1ij.SLPt. SEE will conduct institutional type training and upgrading programs.
SER will utilize existing facilities and, where facilities are not available,
establish its own training facilities when job opportunities indicate the
need. SER will also provide job placement, counseling, testing, and outreach
for the area's target groups.
The JOBS Optional ProBran will provide on -the -job training for the 13- county
area. Contracts will be negotiated with area businesses. The JOP Program
will serve disadvantaged individuals, minorities, and veterans.
The Neighborhood Youth Corps In- School and Su giver Programs will offer work
experience to youth 14 -21. The In- School Program will be directed toward
those youth who are in school but on the verge of dropping out of school
because of economic reasons, while the Summer Program will give these youth
a supplemental income to return to school in the fall. NYC In- School and
Summer Programs will be specifically geared to decrease the dropout rates
of school -age youth. -
The Neighborhood Youtti Corers Out -of- School Program will serve youth ages
16 -21 who have dropped out of school and who are not in the Tabor force or
military service. The objective of this program is to provide work experience
for these youth and to provide these youth an opportunity to pass their
General Education Development examination. .
Operation Mainstre2m will serve adults who are unemployed and /or not in the
labor force and will concentrate its activities in the rural areas. This
program provides work experience, counseling, testing, and job placement.
It should be noted that 40 percent of the individuals served will be over
55 years of age, thereby enabling older workers to re- enter,the labor force.
Although the Migrant Council is not now a part of the manpower revenue
sharing funds, it must be addressed in this strategy because migrants are
a target population group in the area. The migrant programs will provide
outreach, counseling, testing, basic and prevocational education, medical
services, on- the -job training, institutional training, upgrading, and wort:
experience for this population who is in need of manpower services.

NARRATIVE RECON2,1ENDATIONS
(Format 2)
I. COMMON FISCAL YEAR
All programs funded under Manpower Revenue Sharing
funds should have
a common fiscal year to coincide
with the Federal
fiscal year which is
July 1 - June 30. Presently the
programs have different fiscal years
and they will not be coming under
Manpower Revenue
Sharing
funds until
their present year ends. Therefore, some programs
will be
funded for
less than the 12 -month period. Following are the
programs
and the
length of time for which they will
be funded from
Fiscal Year 1974.

DECISION MAKING PROCESS
29
The Coastal Bend Manpower. Area Planning Council, with its broad representa-
tion of our population, provided the foundation to the planning process
which assessed the needs of the entire 13- county Coastal Bend Area.
Following are the meeting dates and purposes for major meetings which were
important for the preparation of the plan for submission to the Mayor and
City Council of Corpus Christi. Many other meetings between program
operators and the Manpower Planning staff took place in order to assist
these potential program sponsors in developing plans which would be in
accordance with the needs of the Coastal Bend Area.
1. Manpower Area Planning Council - March 20, 1973 - met to have a
detailed discussion of ICI 74 -1 and ICI 74 -2, discussion about
present inventory of manpower programs and sponsors, and general
orientation of planning requirements for FY 1974.
2. Manpower Area Planning Council - March 27, 1973 - met to establish
the Planning Committee and the Program Review Committee. The
Planning Committee was established to assist the Manpower Area
Planning Council in determining needs and priorities. The Program
Review Committee was established to determine the programs to
be funded, funding levels, and to select sponsorship. A time
table for the planning process was also established.
3. Manpower Area Planning Council Planning Committee - April 18,
1973 - met to establish needs and priorities.
4. Manpower Area Planning Council Program Review Committee - April 23 -24,
1973 - met to select programs that would address needs and priorities
as established by the Planning Committee. After selection of these
programs was made, sponsorship and funding levels were determined.
5. Manpower Area Planning Council - April 24, 1973 - received recom-
mendations of sub - committees and voted to recommend to the City
Council the plan as presented herewith, including recommendations
on Format 2.
6. Manpower Area Planning Council - Play 1, 1973 - met to view final
plan with corrections as made by the Manpower Area Planning Council
on April 24, 1973.
The preceding meetings are those meetings which were conducted directly for
the preparation of the plan. It should be noted that the Coastal Bend Man-
power Area Planning Council conducted many other meetings in order to prepare
itself for its responsibilities as assigned to it by Department of Labor
guidelines. '
