DISCUSSION
In 1995, the City's former Employment and Training Department conducted the Fort Worth Summer
Works program, apublic/private sector initiative for 16-21 year old youth The program matched youth
seeking jobs with employers seeking summer workers The City employed temporary staff to perform
recruitment and job matching tasks. The program enrollment was open to the general public on a first-
come, first-serve basis, regardless of the applicants' economic condition The program was not bound
by federal rules.
Starting in 1996, the former Employment and Training Department took the lead in a collaborative effort
with Tarrant County and the City of Arlington to provide acounty-wide summer work experience
program for youth During the FY1999-2000 budget process, the City Council approved financial
support in the amount of $68,580 for the Summer Works 2000 program A total of 985 youth, 725 of
whom were from Fort Worth, were provided jobs for an average wage between $5 15 to $10 00 per
hour
The Employment and Training Department functions were transferred to Tarrant County effective
September 1, 2000 Although the Employment and Training Department no longer exists, due to the
importance and success of the program, the City has committed to continue to support the Summer
Works program It is anticipated that 1,100 youth will be placed in summer jobs.
