Only those programs which enhance the future employability of persons, will be funded. In order to adequately meet the area's manpower needs, the following manpower policy will govern activities and functions outlined in the grant application package. With this in mind, the Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium hereby establishes the following policy: A. To develop and maintain a flexible manpower delivery, system, designed to meet the needs of the economically disadvantaged people of the Coastal Bend Area through the framework of the Manpower Advisory Council. B. To assist individuals who are now restricted from finding adequate employment by providing training, upgrading, and supportive services and by providing each individual with adequate knowledge to compete equally in the labor market. This policy will be executed by: 1.' Providing training, work experience, and upgrading in occupations which are compatible with labor market demands in the Coastal Bend Area. 2. Providing education and training capable of fully developing and utilizing each individual's productive potential. 3. offering manpower services to all economically dis- advantaged, unemployed, and underemployed individuals in the Coastal Bend Area, regardless of race, color, creed, sea, age, or national origin. 4. Maintaining efficient utilization of existing facilities and resources. 5. Utilizing local, State, and Federal agencies, thereby eliminating gaps in services and duplication of effort. C. To monitor, assess, and evaluate the impact of manpower services in the community which will be an integral part of the management of all activities funded under the Compre- hensive Employment and Training Act of 1973. The output of each manpower function will be measured in relation to its goals and objectives. This manpower policy will serve all manpower programs and manpower activities in the Coastal Bend Area, and will be adapted to meet new economic and labor, —1—t conditions. - ECONOMY `76 .In better times, economic forecasts for the Coastal Bend Area would reflect primarily upon the growth and development of the region. In troubled economic periods, however, forecasts incorporate a heavy concern for the impact of national conditions. Such is the case in our forecast for the Coastal Bend Area in Fiscal Year 1976. The twin specters of inflation and recession haunt the nation and the region. It is anticipated that the movement I of recession will continue throughout the first half of 1975; turning upwards in the latter part of the year. The deflection in economic trends, however, will not have a large impact on the lives of the average citizen — it will be most noticed by top managers and entrepreneurs, as financial documents begin to improve. Significant changes in employment, workers' income, and family Income will not take on a rosey picture until 1976. With luck, inflation will fall to an annual rate of 5% later in 1975; but this level will not hold throughout 1976 and will begin to move upwards as the economy improves. If this forecast is somewhat accurate of national conditions, then the Coastal Bend will be relatively insulated from their effects. Employment opportunities and incomes should continue to grow throughout the area in general, with local impact from national trends being spotty and concentrated in selected industries. In summary, the impact of the recession and inflation on the Coastal Bend will present somewhat of a paradox; certain areas of activity will continue to forge sluggishly ahead providing job and income earning opportunities, while other areas will be significantly hit by the recession and bear almost the total brunt within the Coastal Bend. Agriculture is expected to get a "shot in the arm" from the newly established Research and Extension Center in Corpus Christi. Improved varieties of cotton and grain sorghum are already available with even better ones in the research pipeline. Livestock research is also being expanded so that greater efficiencies are expected in both crops and livestock. Even though the prices for both sorghum and cotton are down, the price of sorghum is mure favorable resulting in an expected decrease in cotton acreage from 150,000 in 1974 to 70,000 in 1975 and a projected increase in sorghum acreage from 700,000 to 850,000. Flax is making a comeback with higher prices with 60,000 acres still remaining after losing 20,000 acres.to winter freezes. Cattle numbers have not declined in the Coastal Bend even though prices have been at a disasterously low level. With favorable weather and present cattle numbers, plus carryover of calves from 1974, the total marketing of calves in 1975 could be up 5 %. Thus, little or no price relief is expected for cattlemen in 1975. Construction employment will turn upwards in the coming year in residential, single dwellings, commercial and governmental construction. An upswing in construction employment, however, is only relative to the poor opportunities that the industry has faced in the past year. Overall, the best that can be hoped for is a return of employment conditions somewhat like those in the earlier 70's. Government employment, both civilian and military, already accounts for about 30% of the basic economic activity in the Coastal Bend Area. Employment in federal activities should be relatively constant throughout the ensuing year. Budgetary restrictions faced by the Federal government should not result in any significant downturn in overall employment, -4- nor should they allow for any great expansion. State and local employment should continue to grow, but at a significantly lesser rate than in the last decade; most of this growth will be in- state, as opposed to local employment. One significant factor of government employment is the fact that Federal, and to a lesser degree State employees, have had past.wage increases that have kept pace with inflation. As a result, particularly Federal government employees, should find themselves in a situation less impacted by the effects of inflation than is true of many other people. Manufacturing employment in the Coastal Bend Area will reflect the combined recession - insulation paradox. Employment in the petrochemical industry and related activities in support of offshore exploration will. continue a slow expansion, being relatively insulated from the effects of recession facing some other manufacturers in the Coastal Bend Area. Job expansion however, will not necessarily reflect expansion in overall capacity and output within the area. This imbalance between expansion in capacity and employment is due to the technological nature of the industry. But capacity can expand significantly and require additional employees. An example of this would be the expansion of Saber and Champlin refineries. A few areas of manufacturing have been and will continue to be hurt by the effects of recession; this is particularly true of the metal industry and local- oriented manufacturing for local retail consumption. However, metal fabrication for the offshore drilling industry is related to the local metal industry.- This facet of the local economy is expanding and the Coastal Bend should continue to attract jobs related to metal fabrication. Examples of this would be Brown & Root, Marine Fabrication Yard (Harbor Island), Weatherby Engineering, Inc., Baker Marine (offshore rigs), and Vicinay Chain Co: It is likely, but not certain, that overall manufacturing employment opportunities will expand in the coming fiscal year. -5- a The fishing industry is experiencing financial difficulties in getting long -range loans through the Federal government. Diesel fuel is at an all time high of 29.9 cents per gallon. No federal regulations are in force on catching smaller shrimp, and no methods have been enforced for the conservation of shrimp. There is an apparent need for the Federal government to set quotas on high imports of shrimp, to reduce the price of diesel fuel to fishermen and shrimpers, and to establish some type of mandatory government conservation regulations for this industry. Employment in the industry has reached a saturation point and will show little opportunities for employment in this industry. Mining in the Coastal Bend refers almost solely to petroleum and gas explo- ration. Given continuation of the energy crisis and soaring prices, employment opportunities will grow rapidly. However, this expansion will occur within a relatively small work force in a highly technical industry. Thus, a sizable percentage increase can expand job opportunities by only a few hundred employees throughout the area. Tourism should continue to show growth during Fiscal Year 1976. Throughout the Coastal Bend, tourism is becoming more and more oriented toward recreationa1 activities that do not create large demands for housing in hotels, motels and related commercial activities. Thus, the rise in tourism will bring moderate to small expansion in employment opportunities, and will be centered in those retail service outlets catering to the recreational and casual visitor. Expansion in high volume, tourist - oriented employment lies more in the future than the coming year. Hopefully, with larger convention facilities and new hotels coming into the city, prospects for better employment opportunities will increase within the next five years. Trades and Services - Wholesale, retail, and related service activity will continue to expand slowly in FY 1976, though expansion will be scattered. Combined effects of recession and inflation will put a tight clamp on new employment in outlets selling large durables and big ticket items. In other -6- N Iti retail outlets, there will be an expansion in overall employment opportunities, but also a shifting in employers. Already some stores, both national and local, are closing up and going out of business; not because of general cutbacks in spending, but because slow growth will not allow marginal stores to hang on long enough to become viable. The net effect will be a small total expansion in selling jobs arising out of some individual turmoil and shifting of employ- ment. Growth statistics will disguise many individual hardships and difficulties. -7- COASTAL BEND OVERVIEW To present an accurate overview of Coastal Bend manpower needs, certain general demographic data must be analyzed. Size and Distribution According to 1970 census figures, the eleven- county Coastal Bend Area had a Population of 411,458 people. Over half of this total, 237,542 people (57.7 percent), were living in Nueces County, while over two - thirds of the total population, 284,832 people (69.2 percent), were living in the Corpus Christi Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area encompassing all of Nueces.and San Patricio Counties. Nueces County and its three adjacent counties (San Patricio, Sim Wells, and Kleberg) accounted for 85.3 percent of the total population of the Coastal Bend Area (350,823 persons). Only 60,635 persons resided in the remaining seven counties (Bee, Brooks, Duval, Kenedy, Live Oak, McMullen, and Refugio), accounting for the remaining 14.7 percent of the total population. Racial and Ethnic Composition The 1970 census figures indicate that 51.2 percent of the population of the Coastal Bend Area was composed of minority groups (Spanish - Americans, Blacks, and Other Races *) numbering 210,880 persons. Spanish- Americans numbered 195,243 (47.4 percent), Blacks constituted 14,578 persons in the population (3.5 percent) and Other Races accounted for 1,294 persons, or 0.3 percent of the population. Caucasians ** accounted for 200,790 persons (48.8 percent of the total population). Income and Poverty Status In 1970, 26.0 percent (107,292 persons) of the population of the Coastal Bend Area were within the parameters of poverty -level income (as defined by O.M.B.). The bulk of these persons were Spanish - Americans including 81,908 persons or 76.4 percent. Seventeen and nine - tenths percent (17.9 %) were Caucasians (19,253), 5.4 percent were Blacks (5,575), and 0.3 percent were Other Races. In viewing the total Coastal Bend Area population with regard to poverty level income: 31.0 percent of the Spanish - Americans were in poverty, 9.0 percent of the Caucasians were in poverty, 37.0 percent of the Blacks were in poverty, and 23.0 percent of the Other Races were in poverty. *'Other Races" include American Indians, Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, and all Other Races not counted as Black, Spanish - American or Caucasian. * *For the purposes of this report, the term "Caucasian" includes all Caucasians minus Spanish- Americans. -8- A total of 138,890 persons (33.7 percent of all persons in the Coastal Bend Area) were within 125 percent of poverty level income. Those persons with incomes of less than 75 percent of poverty -level (classified as "poor- poor" " by O.M.B.) totaled 72,037 or 17.5 percent of the Coastal Bend Area population. Families receiving poverty -level incomes in the Coastal Bend Area totaled 20,584 (19.2 percent). Of these families in poverty, 4,671 (22.6 percent) were headed by women. Education In viewing educational attainment level provided in 1970 census data, it was found that: 56.5 percent of the Coastal Bend Area population, 25 years of age or older, had less than a high school education. The remaining 43.5 percent of the population in the same age cohort had graduated from high school and 9.1 percent of the total population were college graduates. Mean years of education by racial group were: Caucasians - 8.8 years, Blacks - 8.5 years, Spanish - Americans - 6.0 years, and Other Races - 9.8 years. Percentages of persons in the population between 16 and 21 years of age by racial group were: Caucasians - 58.2 percent, Blacks - 53.6 percent, Spanish - Americans - 57.4 percent, and Other Races - 67.6 percent. In the Coastal Bend Area, persons in this same age cohort not enrolled in school numbered 21,735. Of this number, 11,619 had graduated and 10,116 were school drop -outs. Thirty -three percent (33 %) of the graduates and 56.3 percent of the dropouts were unemployed. Employment and Unemployment The total civilian labor force for the Coastal Bend Area in 1970 was 134,643 persons. The labor force participation rate for the area was 52.5 percent. Percentages of persons in the civilian labor force by racial group were: Caucasians - 55.4 percent (74,569), Blacks - 3.8 percent (5,195), Spanish - Americans -'40.5 percent (54,478), and Other Races - 0.3 percent (401). Four major industry divisions accounted for the largest number of jobs. These included services, retail trade, manufacturing and construction. Of the total employed in the area, 18.2 percent (25,575 persons) were employed in non- agricultural jobs by Federal, State, or local governments. The percentages, by racial group, employed in low -pay, low- status occupations were: Caucasians - 17.6 percent, Blacks - 48 percent, Spanish - Americans - 31.3 percent, and Other Races - 43.9 percent. Current Labor Force Characteristics Using labor force characteristics developed by the Texas Employment Commission, it was found that in 1974 the total civilian work force for the Coastal Bend Area numbered 154,489 persons. Non -farm wage and salary workers accounted for 125,576 of those employed. The twelve -month average for unemployed persons was 6,752, or a yearly unemployment rate of 4.4 percent. In using this 1974 data to project Fiscal Year 1976 manpower needs, it is estimated that there will be 60,033 persons in need of manpower services. These include: 16,884 poor and disadvantaged seeking employment and 43,149 non -poor (individuals near poverty and all other non - poor). Furthermore, projections indicate that there will be 15,049 unemployed and underutilized disadvantaged individuals. Of these, the chronic unemployed will number 1,404 and the underutilized will number 13,645. In looking further at the under- -9- utilized individuals, it is projected that there will be 1,689 employed part - time for economic reasons; 3,129 employed full -time but with family incomes at or below poverty levels; and 8,827 individuals not in the labor force but should be. Other projections for Fiscal Year 1976 indicate that there will be: 5,808 welfare recipients needing manpower services; 2,438 youth drop -outs seeking manpower help; 15,667 veterans seeking manpower services (11,750 of which will be Viet Nam -Era veterans); and 50,213 minorities needing manpower services. in_ APPENDIX I POPULATION ANALYSIS TnTAT. r TT ACTAAT** or Ary , TABLE I *Unemployment rate as defined in 1970 census ** Inc•ludes all Caucasians minus Spanish- Americans.

However, most of these industries will not show a signifi- cant gain, but will remain stable. Industries which will not show significant gain but will remain stable are: Truck Transportation Manufacturing Food Products Shipping Farming Chemical Products Trade Railroads Mining State Government Services Electrical Instruments Transportation Equipment Certain industrial activity will continue to move slowly ahead, providing employment which should create a demand for goods and services, the trans- portation of these goods, and the production of goods to meet the demand of the consumer. Industries which should remain stable or show a slight decline are: Apparel Public Transportation Fabricated Metals Construction Instruments Finance & Insurance Public Utilities Non - electric Machinery Communications With the impact of recession and inflation in the Coastal Bend, these industries will be significantly hit and bear almost the total brunt within the Coastal Bend. Occupational Projections The Occupational Projections chart on the next page projects the surplus and demand occupations which can be trained for during Fiscal Year 1976. This chart does not list all surplus and demand occupations in the area, but it does make an assessment in identifying occupations that are available for manpower training programs. The first column of the Surplus and Demand Occupational Chart lists sample occupations suitable for training in manpower programs during Fiscal Year 1976. The 1970 Coastal Bend Employment Column shows the number of people employed in these selected occupations in that year. The 1976 projected employment column for the Coastal Bend Area is derived from the 1970 employment column by applying the projected growth for each specific occupation and adjusting for economic development in the area. The Coastal Bend Expansion Needs for 1976 column indicates the number of new openings which result from the.expansion of the economy. -12- The Coastal Bend Replacement Needs Column shows the number of people that should be needed to replace vacancies which occur because of turnover, retirement, or death factors. The last column, which is the Coastal Bend Total Demand Column for 1976, shows the number of jobs which should become available in the selected occupations during Fiscal Year 1976. Health and Social Services Occupational Demands 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 health field and the types of occupations in which they are working needs to be addressed. There are 23 hospitals in the area (2,886 beds) employing more than 4,800 persons. The 27 nursing or convalescent homes (2,518 beds) employ more than 3,500 persons. These two employment sources account for more than 8,250 jobs. Professional practitioners (physicans, dentists, optometrists, and kindred occupations) total about 4,165 jobs. These occupations generally employ at least two additional persons (one health worker - LVN, 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. By 1980, there will be a need for 500 RN's. 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 organizations with paid staffs, alcoholism and drug abuse programs, community action agencies, family planning groups, and other groups. During 1972 -73, there were 200 registered nurses and 100 licensed vocational nurses working in health positions not employed by hospitals, nursing homes, or private doctors. In 1972, there were 667 RN's employed in health care facilities and 1,364 LVN's in these institutions. A minimal estimate of employment within the health fields in the Coastal Bend Area indicates that at least 7k 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. With the trend towards the establishment of HMO's (Health Maintenance Organizations), the demand for physician and surgeon personnel will dramatically increase more than 25 %. Demand occupations in the health field are: Licensed Vocation Nurses, Registered Nurses (especially In geriatric and pediatric care) Dietician and /or Nutritionist Operating Room Technicians Rend Dialysis Technician -13- Physical Therapists Occupational Therapists X —ray Technologists Mental Health Technician Emergency Medical Technician Respiratory Therapists Respiratory Technician E?t?LOYL,?F -P A'0 DE,2UND OCCUPATIONS FOR THE COASTAL B3:•i7, FISCAL IMR 1976 E-L°LOr• -IT & DE�IATID PROj--ECTED OCCUPATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL TOTAL Nl ; OCCU?A_IOi:S DURINIG 1970 FY 1976 EXPAINSION REPLACEMMM T DE IAND FISCAL ly -R 1976 2-2LOYiEUT EMPLOY' I NI' 24EEDS /FY 1G76 %rtZ-7S /Yf 1976 FY 1976 Accounting Clerks 819 855 6 43 49 Air Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Mechanic 253 325 12 16 ?_8 Atte13ants, Auto Service, Parkin-- 828 835 3 42 45 Attendam-ts, hospital, Other Institutions 1,071 1,175 19 59 78 Auto Body Repairmen 261 340 13 17. 30 Baer Tellers 280 302 7 16 23 Boo!"keeners 1,530 1 1,578 10 82 02 Carpenters 2,256 2,007 0 0 0 Cas'niers 1,817 1,911 16 98 114 Cenect, Concrete Finishers 221 199 - 10 11 2I_ Clerical & Kindred Workers 8,701 8,833 31 451 482 Cc'o ter Operators 276 340 11 17. 28 co= ter Programers - 46 64 6 4" 10 Cosmetologists 910 980 12 49 61. _Dental Assistants ]28 218 15 11 26 Draftsmen 532 553 6 29 35 Drivers, Bus, Truck, Tractors 3,924 4,035 15 205 220 -Electricians 778 701 12 38 50 Food Counter & Fountain 11krs 300 435 20 50 70.

It defines, in broad terms, the types of manpower services required to meet the needs of a population with a given set of existing demographic characteristics and economic conditions. The Statement of Manpower Needs should, however, be flexible enough to change with changes in the area's economy. Although the nation is currently in.a recession with unemployment and under- employment at all -time highs, the Coastal Bend Area remains relatively insulated from national economic problems. Unemployment and underemployment nationally are cyclical in nature. They are caused by cyclical swings in national business activity, over which the individual worker has little or no control. However, in the Coastal Bend Area, unemployment and underemployment are different in nature. The labor supply cannot accommodate labor market demands. "Labor market demand . is not generally deficient in the Coastal Bend Area (as it is in ch of the nation), but the area's labor supply is not sufficiently equipped to accommodate labor market demand. The following are the manpower needs for the Coastal Bend Area for FY 1976: (1) Providing skill training to the area's unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged residents: Skill training is desperately needed for the area's semi-skilled and unskilled labor supply. New industries are currently moving into the area with a great demand for skilled labor. First -class skilled laborers must be supplied to these employers through the utilization of long -term, high- quality training programs. Long -term skill training programs can best accommodate current labor market demands. This manpower need is urgent, and should be provided in coordination with other manpower services such as remedial education and others. (2) Providing transitional employment: Transitional employment.is most needed for persons out of wOrkadue to cyclical swings in the national economy causing temporary cutbacks and layoffs in the labor market. These individuals are usually skilled or professional workers who need transitional employment to carry them through a brief downturn in employment in their particular industry group. As the economy improves, these persons can return to work in their chosen professions and occupations. The construction industry is one major occupational group with many workers in need of this type of manpower service. (3) Providing educational services in conjunction with supplemental services: The educational attainment level of persons in the Coastal Bend Area is low; 56.5 percent of the area's population, 25 years of age or older, have less than a high school education. Significant segments of the population with low educational attainment levels also suffer high unemployment and a high percentage of the low -pay, low- status occupations. By providing -15- the area's unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged with educational services, many of these unskilled and semi - skilled persons could be placed on jobs or referred to other manpower services where a skill could be obtained. The net result of this would be an overall upgrading effect enhancing the future employability of many persons in the area. The educational services should be offered in conjunction with supplemental services such as: day care facilities for persons with children, counseling services, and referral and placement services (placing persons on jobs and referring persons to other manpower services). These supplemental services will afford the maximum number of eligible applicants the possi- bility of taking advantage of educational services. (4) Providing employment to in- school, disadvantaged youth: Employment opportunities must be provided for those economically dis- advantaged youth ages 14 through 22, who are actively pursuing a formal education. Providing manpower services to meet this need will accomplish four objectives. It will upgrade the educational attainment level of the area; give encouragement to disadvantaged youth to continue their formal education; give needed work experience to youth while continuing.their formal education; and give added income to economically disadvantaged families. This service should be provided year -round in conjunction with special summer youth employment programs. -16- CLIENT PRIORITIES AND TARGET GROUPS Manpower services will be utilized in the Coastal Bend Area to assist the area's unemployed, underemployed, and economically disadvantaged, in obtaining unsubsidized employment. Within the target groups, preference shall be given to disabled and recently discharged (48 months) veterans who meet eligibility requirements. The first target group to be identified for manpower services consists of un- employed, underemployed, and economically disadvantaged individuals with special consideration given to heads -of- households. To assist in making recommendations for manpower services, this group should be subdivided into those with a high school diploma or GED equivalency, and those with less than a high school achievement level. The second target group is composed of unemployed, underemployed, and economically disadvantaged persons with limited English language- proficiency and less than an eighth grade education. Without the ability to communicate well orally, this group cannot compete in the labor market. Remedial education is needed to combat this deficiency. The third target group is composed of economically disadvantaged, potential school drop -outs. These are secondary school age students (14 to 21 years of age) who, if kept in school, could upgrade the educational attainment level of the area as well as enhance their own future employability. - The fourth target group is composed of economically disadvantaged, school drop- outs (17 years of age and older) who are unable to find suitable job opportunities due to a lack of work experience. Assistance should be provided to these persons in upgrading their educational attainment levels and in providing them suitable job opportunities. National priorities are the basis for establishing local client priorities and target groups for the Coastal Bend Area. Of the national priorities prescribed in the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973, this area's first priorities are veterans (recently discharged and those disabled), and the un- employed, underemployed, and disadvantaged including: 1) heads -of- households, 2) persons with limited education and limited English speaking abilities, 3) in- school youth who are potential drop -outs, and 4) school drop -outs. -17- (l.a_) Target Group: Unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged individuals with high school diploma or GED equivalency. Priority: Unsubsidized employment in the public or private sector. (l.b.) Target Group: Unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged individuals with less than a high school educational attainment level. Priority: Remedial education, GED equivalency, placement in unsubsidized ' employment. (2) Target Group: Unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged persons with limited English language proficiency and less than an eighth grade education. Priority: Remedial education (including "English as a second language" education) to equip this target group with the essentials ` to compete in the labor market. (3) Target Group: Economically disadvantaged, potential school drop -outs (14 to 21 years of age). Priority: Work experience as an incentive to remain is school_ (4) Target Group: Economically disadvantaged school drop -outs (17 years of age and older). , Priority_ Work experience combined with educational services to upgrade their educational attainment and placement,into unsubsidized employment: - - -- -18- GOALS The program goals which will be addressed in the Coastal Bend Area during Fiscal Year 1976 have been developed to meet manpower needs, thereby, increasing the employability of disadvantaged individuals and at the same time supplying needed manpower for the area. The following goals are both long -term and short -term statements of what the program will accomplish and will set the foundation for the development of a manpower delivery system_ MANAGEMENT GOALS 1. To ensure full staff support for the efficient design and implementation of the program as delineated in the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973. 2. To establish productive relationships with private enterprise and local, State, and Federal government. 3. To assure that local units of government participate actively through direct involvement in the administration, as well as the management, of manpower programs, 4. To implement and operate those activities which have a record of demonstrated effectiveness and which meet locally established manpower needs. 5. To maintain proper fiscal controls of all funds granted through the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973, for the execution of the manpower policy, and to ensure that all funds are spent in accordance with all rules and regulations established by the Department of Labor and the Office of Management and Budget. ACTIVITY AND SERVICE GOALS 1. To provide occupational training and upgrading to economically disadvantaged, unemployed, and underemployed individuals (17 years of age and over) with emphasis on those individuals who are heads of households, moving them into entry level positions in jobs which are in demand and which are compatible with economic developments of the Coastal Bend Area. 2. To assist the hardcore, economically disadvantaged, unemployed individual (16 years of age and over), with no salable skills, with special emphasis on those who are school dropouts and older workers, obtain unsubsidized employment. 3. To assist all individuals with a limited English speaking ability in improving their Emglish speaking ability and place them in unsubsidized jobs and /or skill training activities. 4. To assist rural area disadvantaged persons with current labor market information, job development, and placement in unsubsidized jobs. 5. To place individuals unemployed because of economic conditions, into public service employment. 6. To serve and assist all veterans in the area with special emphasis to dis -_. advantaged veterans. 7. To assist potential school dropouts, returning dropouts, dropouts, and other disadvantaged youth (14 -22) who wish to continue their education on a full or part -time basis by providing part -time work experience and related counseling. These along with other disadvantaged youth may also be served through special Summer Programs. -19- RESULTS AND BENEFITS EXPECTED After careful study of labor force characteristics, economic conditions, and specific labor force needs, it was decided to offer a variety of services which include: classroom training, on- the -job training, work experience for youth and adults, job referral, special services for veterans, youth career counseling, and educational training that will lead to the General Equivalency Diploma (GED). The Manpower Plan for Fiscal Year 1976, being developed with the manpower policy as the baste, maximizes the utilization of the funds available to the Coastal Bend Manpower. Consortium. The plan results of all activities funded in the Coastal Bend Area for Fiscal Year 1976, will directly correlate with the Policy Statement. Fifty percent of all participants involved in receiving training in the various occupations in the overall system, will be placed in unsubsidized employment. This goal is based on current labor market conditions. Training offered through the program will lead to the placement of at least 802 of all successful completions under current labor market conditions. Training programs will be allowed a dropout rate of 15 %. Objectives of all training programs will be to place the trainees in unsubsidized employment. All training will be conducted in occupations that Are in demand. Demand occupations will be determined by the prime sponsor as a result of coordination with the local Employment Security Agency, businesses and industries in the area. The availability of unemployment for individuals in the various occupations will be taken into consideration in initiating training programs. In initiating training, consideration will be given to a broad range of occupations in order to serve different target groups and in order to serve individuals with different interests and abilities in obtaining unsubsidized employment. APPROACH I. Planning System The Manpower Planning Council established by the Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium is an essential and fundamental mechanism in the planning system. This council, representative of the Coastal Bend Area served, functions in aL: advisory capacity to the Executive Board of the Consortium. The advisory capacity of the Planning Council does not free the Consortium from its final- decision making responsibilities under the Act. The Planning Council advises the Executive Board in the setting of basic goals, policies, and procedures for its program under the act. It makes recommendations to the Executive Board regarding program, employment and training needs, and related services in the Coastal Bend Area. The Planning Council, with technical assistance from the Manpower Planning Staff, will monitor all manpower activities and related programs operating in the Consortium area and provides objective evaluations for the purpose of im- proving the utilization and coordination of the delivery of services. 20 am The Planning Council shall make recommendations based upon its analyses to the Executive Board, which will consider them in the content of its overall decision - making responsibility.

A revised list with new members will be incorporated into the plan. The framework of the Manpower Planning Council has provided an opportunity for community -based organizations to participate in the planning system. Several members of the Planning Council are actively involved with community -based organi- zations such as Community Action Programs, G. I. Forum, and LULAC. 21 2. Program Description In designing the program activities and services to be provided in the Coastal Bend Area, the Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium made a review and analysis of existing services and facilities to determine the needs of the area's dis- advantaged population. A careful study of the area's demographic characteristics further revealed 'certain segments of the population which should be addressed. Having determined the target areas, the Planning Council determined that the goals and objectives should be primarily directed toward the placement of individuals in unsubsidized employment and to obtain employment at the individual's maximum capacity. In order to ensure that each goal is achieved, the Manpower Planning Council formulated the following program areas: (1) classroom training, (2) on- the -job training, (3) work experience, (4) services to all participants, and (5) other manpower activities. The following is a brief description of the activities and services offered in these program areas:- SKILL TRAINING This type training is aimed at heads -of- households, 17 years of age and over, in order to place individuals in occupations at entry level, provide on -the -job training, or upgrade individuals to their maximum productive potential. Skill training not only provides individuals with a salable skill, but it also will provide subsistance incomes to individuals while in training and will pay for other supportive services such as transportation, housing, tools; etc. This component of manpower services offered to disadvantaged residents of the Coastal - Bend Area will enable them to enter demand occupations and provide an adequate living for their families. Classroom training will be conducted in the following demand occupations: stenographer, combination welder, junior draftsman, cashier - checker, keypunch operator, secretary, accounting clerk, auto - service mechanic, and tractor - trailer transport driver. REMEDIAL EDUCATION Because of low educational attainments, which were outlined in the demo- graphic characteristics for the total population, and the high number of Spanish - speaking individuals, 25 years--of age and over, who are limited in their English - speaking ability, remedial education is a high priority. Adult Basic Education, English as a second language, and the Graduate Equivalency Diploma Program, coupled with skill training or work experience, can provide an individual with an educational and productive potential in order to compete adequately in the labor market. These services, which will be provided through the State Non- financial Agreement, and, will be supportive to all CETA funded manpower activities. This program will enable those individuals in the disadvantaged population, who need these services, to succeed in obtaining unsubsidized employment. ON- THE -JOB TRAINING This activity provides training conducted in a work environment designed to enable individuals in the Coastal Bend Area to learn a bona fide skill and /or qualify for a particular occupation through demonstration and practice. Nego- tiations will be carried out with non - profit institutions, and the private business sector. Emphasis is placed on training slots which provide high level, high wages, marketable skills, upward mobility and job security. Private profit- 22 making employers will be reimbursed up to 50% of total costs. Private, non- profit agencies and local governments will be reimbursed up to 100% of total cost. ADULT WORK EXPERIENCE This program provides subsidized work experience, upgrading skills in vocations, GED, and remedial education to the area's disadvantaged population, 17 years of age and over. Components of this program will place special em- phasis on those individuals, 17 to 22 years of age, who are school dropouts with no salable skills and older workers obtain unsubsidized employment. Individuals participating in this program will receive training through public and private non - profit organizations. YOUTH WORK EXPERIENCE This program-has been developed to assist youth from economically disadvantaged families (14 -22) who are potential school dropouts and dropouts in completing their education. This program will provide meaningful work experience and counseling for youth who are in need of part -time and /or summer employment, to remain in school or return to school. Activities of this program will include screening and enrolling youth who are in need of part -time employment to continue their education; to develop work sites in public agencies or non - profit organizations which are related, so as to enhance enrollees career interest; to provide orientation and counseling designed to assist each enrollee in achieving their educational and career goals; and to provide services which will offer economic assistance in helping the enrollee complete his education. RURAL JOB DEVELOPMENT Rural areas in the Coastal Bend Area have lacked job development, job placement, and job referral services. After careful consideration, it has been determined that these services are greatly needed. Often people from the rural areas have to drive long distances in order to file for unemployment compensation insurance, seek a job, or other services provided by the Employment Security Agencies. By providing these services in the rural areas, a void that previously existed can be filled. JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR VETERANS This segment of the population has often experienced difficulty making the transition from military to civilian life. Often veterans are discharged from the military service with no salable skill and enters the labor market with little or no chance for employment. Outreach, job development, and job referral is an important priority for the veteran and through a component which is estab- lished to handle the special problems which face these individuals, many of these young people can be placed into meaningful employment. All the programs described will, during Fiscal Year 1976, do their own recruiting, selecting, and certifications. As the planning process develops, efforts towards a comprehensive system of outreach - intake, testing, counseling,' and certification, will be developed, but presently in order to expedite requirements for FY 1976, it has been determined that each activity will administer these services. Persons with limited English - speaking ability will also be served through all the activities described above. Most staffs of each of these activities will employ bilingual individuals which will conduct much of the outreach - intake training and other supportive services. 23 Many programs which have proved demonstrative effectiveness during FY 1975, have been afforded the opportunity to continue delivering services during FY 1976, such as Jobs for Progress, Inc., G. I. Forum - Veterans Outreach Program, Coastal Bend work Experience Program, and Coastal Bend Youth Services Program. One of the goals of the Comprehensive Manpower Plan is to serve and assist all veterans in the area, with special emphasis on disadvantaged veterans which include, but are not limited to: disabled veterans, special veterans, and individuals who served in the Armed Forces and who received other than a dis- honorable discharge within 4 years before the date of their application. Among the number of manpower activities and services described in the preceeding narrative, there Is a special activity designated for veterans. During FY 1975, the Veterans Outreach Program provided that activity and service. Although a specific activity and service has been designated for veterans, all activities and services will be available to veterans in the area. A good faith effort will be made to coordinate with State and local veterans employment service represen- tatives for the purpose of disseminating information to eligible veterans. The Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium will encompass basically the same geographic areas in the Coastal Bend, with the exception of Aransas County which has chosen not to continue in the Consortium. 24 COASTAL SEND CO1 SOPT ➢UM N!ArMPOWEM FUr%1CTiC rJAL C0- A;R"T FY 1976 Yvcn�wwn ` ocnT�ount. / S aoP / PZE o�TS EMPLOyMEUT 6 24A ` uo 3. MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE PLAN The Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium agreement authorized and established the City of Corpus Christi as the administrative unit of the Consortium. The Manpower Administration Office, under the authority of the administrative unit, is responsible for negotiating all contracts and subcontracts and after the program is implemented, it is responsible for contract counseling and compliance, the Management Information System, and financial reporting. The Manpower Administration Office is also responsible for planning and program design, monitoring and assessment procedures, personnel standards, and in- service training and technical assistance. The internal administrative controls including the accounting system is in accordance with established policies and criteria of the City of Corpus Christi as the administrative unit responsible for the operation of the program. Personnel standards of the City of Corpus Christi, which meet Equal Employ- ment Opportunity criteria, are used in employing and monitoring the performance of staff members who are employed in the Manpower Administration Office and in any other programs directly operated by the City of Corpus Christi. The EEO Officer of the City of Corpus Christi is the designated EEO Officer for the Consortium. All contractors and subcontractors are required to meet Equal Employment Opportunity criteria. They are also required to perform evaluations on their staff. The performance of all contractors will be measured to determine the quality of administration and the effectiveness of the program. The evaluation procedures of all activities will be done on a scheduled basis to ensure that contractors .will perform efficiently and according to all CETA regulations. Monitoring of all activities will be done by the Manpower Administration Office. Any data collected on monitoring reports will first be furnished to the Advisory Committee of the Executive Board according to need and requirements at the time. Federal and State monitoring visits will be coordinated through the Manpower Administration Office in order to provide coordinated monitoring which will be done on local activities. Since one of the primary objectives of the Manpower Program is placement in unsubsidized employment, the Manpower Administration Office will monitor contractors to insure that they verify placements,-as stipulated in their contracts. Verification of placements will be accomplished by the City of Corpus Christi Administration Office through contact with employers and /or participants. The verification will be done by follow --up exit interviews, on -site visits, telephone, and any other methods deemed appropriate. Technical assistance on administration and programmatic activities will be provided by the Manpower Administration Office and any other resources available. In- service training will be provided to all contractors requesting it. Training sessions will be scheduled to assist program coordinators in the development of their staffs. National, State, or local agencies that can provide in- service training will be asked to assist in the development of staff. The administration of programs through CETA is graphically illustrated in the manpower functional chart on page . The Coastal Bend Consortium will have an advisory body composed of 22 individuals. The administration of the program is done by the City of Corpus Christi which established a Manpower Administration Office to direct the whole program. The Manpower Administration Office has the responsibility of compliance, financial management, information systems, research, program assessment and design, coordination, and program evaluation. The Manpower 25 Training Coordinator directly supervises any program coordinators which will be under the control of the City of Corpus Christi. Job contractors under CETA will be monitored by the Manpower Administration Office. All records will be made readily available at any time the Manpower Administration Office will request them. Allowance payments will be made by the Texas Employment Commission skill training program and by the Jobs for Progress, Inc. (SER) skill training program. Payments made by both agencies will be in accordance with procedures outlined in the CETA Allowance Payment Procedures Handbook of the Texas Employment Commission dated August, 1974, and as modified. The waiver of allowances will be made only on a class or project -size basis, as contracted by the administering agency. The City of Corpus Christi Accounting Offices will monitor the payment of allowances to detect any inconsistencies that may occur. The procedure for resolving an issue between the Prime Sponsor and a participant will be the same as was utilized in FY 1975. Unresolved issues between the Prime Sponsor and participants are first presented to the appropriate program coordinator. If the issue still remains unresolved, an appeal may be presented to the Coordinator of the Manpower Administration Office. If necessary, the Executive Board may hear the appeal for a final determination. 26 i 4. DELIVERY AGENTS The following is a list of all contractors to the Coastal Bend Manpower Consortium for Fiscal Year 1976. 1) City of.Corpus Christi "Central Administration" 2) Texas Employmeat.Commission "Skill Training" 3) San Patricio Community Action Agency "Rural Job Development" 4) LULAC Educational Service Center "Career Awareness and Exploration Program" 5) City of Corpus Christi "Coastal Bend Work Experience Program" 6) Jobs for Progress, Inc. (SER) "Skill and On- the -Job Training" 7) Corpus nristi Independent School District "Youth Services Program" 8) G. I- Forum "Veterans Outreach Program" A summary of the FY 1976 Plan (including a list of goals to be accomplished) was published for three consecutive days in a newspaper with area -wide distribution. The programs selected for funding were those which proposed to address the goals most effectively and comprehensively. Based on a thorough evaluation of programs operating under FY 1975 funding, no such program was denied funding for FY 1976. The Texas Employment Commission was utilized in determining a list of shortage occupations. Del Mar and Bee County Colleges will be utilized as training and vocational education centers. Three Community Action Agency facilities will be utilized for the "Rural Job Development Program." The only duplication of services being offered in FY 1976 occurs in the area of skill training. Although both Jobs for Progress, Inc. (SER) and the Texas Employment Commission are contracting to provide skill training, these contractors ,will not provide training in the same occupations. The CETA Interchange, a newsletter mailed to contractors as well as non -CETA funded deliverers of manpower and related services, will be used to develop referral interactions. The Texas Department of Public Welfare is currently making referrals and will continue to make referrals of welfare recipients to the Prime Sponsor subcontractors. All administrative costs were determined in accordance with the regulations found in the Federal Register dated March 7, 1975. The total budget of the Manpower Administration Office ( "Central Administration ") is considered an administrative cost. Any costs not directly benefiting the participant such as travel, rent, consumable supplies, office equipment, utilities, workman's compensation paid in classroom training activities, etc. The administration costs of the total grant will not exceed twenty percent (20 %). GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS SERVED The Coastal Bend Area encompasses twelve counties. These counties are: Bee, Brooks, Duval, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Live Oak, McMullen, Nueces, Refugio, and San Patricio. The City of Corpus Christi which is the eligible unit of government for prims sponsorship has a population of 204,525 and is located in Nueces and San Patricio Counties, is the only SMSA in the area. The region is characterized by a mixed urban /rural population, for only seven of the eleven counties are classified as rural.
