Recently., TCA has been discussing pre-vocational training for Atlanta's hard-core unemployed with NAB and the Chamber of Commerce. Briefly., we understand., through discussions with Mr. Clinton Rogers., that National Alliance for Businessmen has developed numerous job commitments in Atlanta. A program can be developed which would train the young hard-core unemployed for these jobs in a non-residential., co-educational center that will relate itself in a most meaningful way with your school system. In this manner., Atlanta's industries could fulfill their job commitments to NAB by hiring trained'hard-core unemployed. Federal funding of such training may be available through a single training contractor., such as TCA., in the proposed Inner-City Job Corps Training Center program to be funded this summer by OEO. Only five cities are to be funded. The Training Corporation of America., which operates both OEO and Labor Department training programs., would Zike to propose to the OEO the es tablishment of one of these centers in Atlanta . In order to prepare such a proposal., TCA feels the city's approval of the Inner-City Job Corps concept is essential.
