BACKGROUND.
Since 1983, the City of Fort Worth's Employment and Training Department, d b a The Working
Connection, has been providing summer work experience and basic education services for youth
under the Job Training Partnership Act The 1996 summer employment program provided
employment and educational opportunities for 692 youth, with a 92% success rate
In addition to the federally funded summer youth employment program, The Working Connection
in 1995 began the Fort Worth Summer Works, apublic/private sector initiative for 16-21 year
old youth The Fort Worth Summer Works Program matched youth with jobs that were pledged
by employers who were seeking summer workers Staff connected the Fort Worth Summer
Works applicants with prospective employers In 1996, City Council appropriated 554,340 00
from the General Fund to implement Summer Works '96 A total of 226 local employers
participated and pledged 703 jobs Program placements grew from 54 in 1995 to 525 in 1996,
a tenfold increase Summer jobs led to long term full or part-time employment for 292 youth
who continued to work after the end of the summer This year it is anticipated that the number
of applicants could double
