PREFACE

The State Plan for Federal Vocational Education has assured that joint planning oftechnical and vocational education programs with programs conducted under the JobTraining and Partnership Act (JTPA.), the Adult Education Act, Chapter I of the EducationConsolidation and Improvement Act, the Education of the Handicapped Act, theRehabilitation Act of 1975, and with apprenticeship training programs will be an ongoingprocess in the state.

The Community Colleges and Technical Institutes (CCTI) Division of the Texas HigherEducation Coordinating Board has provided leadership and support to a variety of activitiesand projects designed to enhance the achievement of the desired level of joint planningandcoordination by public two year postsecondary institutions. Three projects were sponsoredby the CCTI Division to encourage and assist joint planning and coordination ofoccupational training to serve populations common to two or more funding sources. Twosponsored projects provided regional workshops, in 1987-88 and 1988-89, for informingpostsecondary personnel of the needs and process of joint planning A third projectassessed the impact of the joint planning workshops. This resource manual is a product ofthe assessment project.

It is hoped and anticipated that this resource manual will as ;ist you in your efforts of jointplanning and coordination with other entities such as JTPA to better serve commontargeted populations needing occupational instruction and employment.

Program helpswomen reassess,rebuild lives

By CHRIS VAN WAGENENStaff Writer

$3.35 an hour.Minimum wage doesn't pay the bills --1- and it doesn't

get single mothers off welfare.Accordit i. to a U.S. commission study conducted for the Of-

fice of Educational Research and Improvement, 54 percent of allsingleparent households were living below the poverty line in1985.

The report strongly identifieda need for dropout-preventionirlograms, established educational sites forcareer and vocational

lopment, with special assistance in child care coming fromrnment, industry and labor unions.Idle Midland is no closer to solving the day-care issue than

the rest of the nation, it is making progress in getting mothers offthe welfare rolls and into the mainstream.

One such program is Midland College's Center for .. ,Reassessment..

"Everyone can succeed if they can just flrid the right spot,"says Wanda Phillips, the center's special projects coordinator.'The purpose is to locate this unskilled population and getthem off welfare."

I .Established in 1983, with matching federal fundsprovidedunder the Carl Perkins Vocational Education Act, the centerserves the disadvantaged, handicapped, those with limited En-glish skills, single parents and displaced homemakers. . .

, . But Phillips says many of her clients are single mothers .women who a 1988 U.S. commission study identified u victims ofextreme economic problems with considerablecareer develop- . .ment needs.

Many are minorities, particularly teenage mothers forced todrop out of high school with limited job skills.

As of fiscal 1987, the Department of Human Resources inMidland County reported 826 familieson public assistance. Ofthat number, 95 percent were identified as being singlemothers. ..

The center works closely with DHS,as well as the Job Train-ing Partnership Act, Project Self-Sufficiency and the MidlandCounty Housing Authority, serving about 1,200 studentsannually.

,.Not all make it, but those who do stand a reasonable chance

of creating a better life for themselves and their children.Once a month, the center offers an orientation program for

women interested in returning to school or seeking training topmvide them a path out of the doldrums ti! tvelthre.

e majority of women I deal with are single parents on(Aid to Families with Dependent Children),"says Phillips.

ny of them have no ides how to change their lives by set-ting goals. Their usual pattern is crisis management living forthe moment."

Phillips says the day-long seminar teaches women to assesstheir problems, make decisions and ultimately developa career 37plan, which is then carefully monitored.

.41

Many of these women take the attitude that they'll wait un-til another man shows up in their lives. A lot of that has to do withlow self-esteem," but she adds that these women need to real-ize that the female's role today is dramatically shifting towardgreater self-sufficiency.

Fur those willing to make the sacrifices, the center offers"Project Self-Sufficiency," a pilot program established under theDepartment of Housing and Urban Development in 1965, andthen extended locally through the Permian Basin Planning Com-mission and the JTPA.

Successful applicants for Project 'Mt-Sufficiency are eligi-ble for subsidized rent yments for up to two years, as well u fi-nancial aid for tuition, .ks and fees up to $2,400 throughJTPA plus monthly payments up to $200 for attending class.

Of the 35 single parents now in the program, 32 attend Mid-land College.

Last semester the group achieved a median grade-point aver-age of 3.3 a B+ "which surprised us," says former project di-rector Tom Burns. "When we give them the opportunity to getoff welfare, they go crazy with it."

Unfortunately, funding for the program is limited. Ninety-eight families currently are on the waiting list.

Phillips says one of largest concerns among these singe par-ents who want to enter the workforce is child care. 'That's proba-bly the main reason why they tend to get emotionally draggeddown."

Many receive subsidised child-care payments through thecenter. Those that don't usually qualify for such funds throughJTPA and the Department of Human Services, Phillips claims.

Gem Waills, 25, the parent of a 5-year-old, is one of the fortu-nate few enrolled in the program.

Expected to graduate later this spring, Wallis is able to pay$280 a month under the program so that her son Matthew can goto day care at First Baptist Church."I knew! had to go back to school because a high school de-

gree wasn't going to get me where I was going," she says. "He(Matthew) sometimes gets tired of me studying all the time, butI tell him that I need a job that can support me so that I can spendmore time with him."

Phillips says many still must contend with the bureaucra-cies, rich as DHS, for food stamp and child care assistance.

"But I tell them to play the game and keep their eyes aiwiyson their goals."She also discourages them from seeking out minimum-wagejobs jobs she says cut into Medicaid and other benefits provid-ed by DHS.Based on DHS' own 1987 statistics, an (memployed family of

three which receives $578 in DHS benefits would lose all welfarepayments upon taking a minimum-wage job,and face a reduc-tion in food stamp payments from $203 to $119 per mont,..

Earnings from the job, which would total only $3 more permonth than the welfare benefits, were compounded after fourmonths, when all Medicaid benefits would have been takensway.

According to Phillips, most minimm-wage jobs don't offermedical benefits, so a single mother can suddenly find herself in ahole during an emergency.

"And you wonder why we tell women not to work for mini-mum wage there's just no incentive," she notes.

Agreeing with that was Burns. "Why work toss $3 more amonth? It's just silly.",

Burns thinks the federal goiernment should take a more as-sertive role in the area of social services by providing funds forsuccessful programs, such as "Project Self-Sufficiency."

"They don't need to throw money at the problem ... theyneed to get people back in the system," he says.

Adds Phillipe "It's to the point now that even to hold a secre-tarial job in Midland, oil companies are requiring B.A. degrees."

While Midland is no closer tosolving the day-ea ra issue than therest of the,nation, it is makingprogress in getting mothers off thewelfare-rolls and into themainstream.

Perkins Vocational Education Act Sin-gle Parent Grant Given to promote instructionfar adult vocational courses as well as basicskills training and pre-anpinyruent work skills,the grant also allows OC to provide career/ed-ucational counseling, support services andequipment and materials for the vocationalcourses.

lirBecoming a part of the programAnyone who is a single parent with custody

of a minor child or a homemaker who has beenout of the job market for at least three years iseligible to join the program.

program are women, with 67 percent betweenthe ages of 25 and 44. Seventy-seven percentare either divorced or single. Eighty percent ofthe participants have an annual income lessthan $10,000, and more than half have annualincomes less than $5,000.

Two-thirds of the students are unemployed,and most have expressed an interest in learningoffice and computer skills% order to join theworkforce.
