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 1995 summer employment program provided
employment and educational opportunities for 865 youth, with a 92% success rate
Congress reduced funding for the year-round youth programs by 79% and eliminated funding for
the summer youth employment programs altogether In past years, The Working Connection
programs provided an opportunity for youth to receive work experience in public or non-profit
settings Last summer, in addition to the federally funded summer youth employment program,
The Working Connection began 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 A total of 95 businesses pledged
summer employment opportunities
DISCUSSION
The Working Connection has taken the lead in a collaborative effort with Tarrant County
Employment Network and the City of Arlington to provide summer work experience for youth
The Summer program will be a county-wide effort for participation Enrollment will not be
restricted to economically disadvantaged individuals, but open to the general public on a first
come first serve basis and will not be bound by federal rules Strategy has been developed in
the following areas
Marketing
Recruitment
Application Process
Orientation
Job Matching
In order to successfully implement this non-federally funded effort, The Working Connection will
need to employ additional staff and cover additional operational expenses
