PLAN FOR A COMMUNITY-BASED ACTION PROJECT DESIGNED TO HANDLE PROBLEMS OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT AMONG PROBATIONERS IN MONROE COUNTY.

Abstract

THE PROBATION EMPLOYMENT AND GUIDANCE PROGRAM WILL USE A MULTIDISCIPLINARIAN PANEL APPROACH INVOLVING THE USE OF COMMUNITY EXPERTS IN THE PERSONNEL AND EMPLOYMENT FIELDS. THROUGH GROUP ANALYSIS OF PROBLEMS BY A REVIEW PANEL AND GUIDANCE SESSIONS CONDUCTED BY AN EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE COUNCIL, PROBATIONERS WILL BE AFFORDED VARIOUS OPPORTUNITIES THAT WILL ASSIST THEM IN RE-ENTRY INTO THE COMMUNITY. APPROXIMATELY 250 PROBATIONERS, ALL VOLUNTEERS, WILL BE INTERVIEWED BY THE REVIEW PANEL, AND THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY JOB-READY WILL BE IDENTIFIED. EACH PROBATIONER APPEARING BEFORE THE PANEL, WHETHER JOBREADY OR NOT, WILL RECEIVE A PROFESSIONAL DIAGNOSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING HIS EMPLOYMENT POTENTIALITIES AND EMPLOYMENT-RELATED PROBLEMS. IN ADDITION, THE REVIEW PANEL SESSIONS WILL GENERATE INFORMATION ON TYPES OF EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS EXPERIENCED BY PROBATIONERS. AUTHOR ABSTRACT
