VALUABLE IN MAK I NG OUT INC0MS' TAY RS'TIIRNA - �NATIONAL CITIZENS' COMMITTEE FOR COMMUNITY RELATIONS % COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE WASHINGTON, 0.C. 20530 The Business-Civic Leadership Conference on Employment Problems, held June 5-7, 1967, in Chicago, brought together 250 employers, educators and other civic leaders who are pioneering programs to meet our most crucial domestic problem: how to put hard-core unemployed and underemployed minority group members into jobs. The Conference was how-to-do-it meeting, bringing together employers and other lea ders who are· convinced that a successful attack on this problem brings benefits not only to minority group members but to industry, the community and the nation as a whole. The Conference was sponsored by the National Citizens' Committee for Community Relations (NCC), a group of more than 400 leading Americans appointed by President Johnson following passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Its purpose: to enlist the skills and strengths of these leaders in supporting the nation's efforts to assure equality for all Americans. The NCC functions as an adjunct of the Community Relations Service, which was created by Congress to hel p communities cope with disputes and difficulties rooted in racial and ethnic discrimination. Its basic concern is to help cities overcome minority group deprivations which lead to conflict. More than 70 specific projects and activities--some being undertaken by individual companies and o_thers by community-wide organizations--were described and discussed at the Conference. Most persons attending the Conference, including those who are deeply involved in projects to put the hard-core unemployed into jobs, were impressed with the scope and creativity of these projects. This report on the Conf e rence is offered to assis t employers and other community leaders who are considering starting or improving employment, recruitment or training projects in this field. Part I is a summary of presentations. Par t II cont ains specific tools and techniques.

He's on that corner because he 's not puttin g enou gh beans in the pot. .• he knows '1P. ain't putting down what he. 's supposed to be ruttin g rlown ••• His kids don't have no tomorrow ;rnd i f someone come s alon g and brin g s some red wine or somethin g, he's go in g to drink ••• For a fellow like this a riot is a pleasant break in his humdrum e x istence." Chester Wright, Wa tts, Los Angeles In Jul y 1967, America n cities across the nation burst into flame, in violent, tra g ic explosions of frustration, bitterness, hate and lawl e ssness. Whatever the immediate causes or incitements, whe ther planned or snontaneo~s, whatever the culpability for criminal action, sensitive and knowledgeable observers agreed that a major cause was long-time un e mpl oyment, lack of jobs at a living wage, and f ailure of America to deliver its promises to it s Negro citizens. And no one could qu est ion the vast dolla r lo ss and the physical and social dama ge tn the communities invol ved . In Jun e 196 7 , 200 busine ss and indus try executives who have been working to ge t hard-core un e mpl oyed minoriti es into jobs me t in Chicago with repr esen ta t ives of public and pr ivate _iob programs and social age ncies for two hard-workin g days of s pecif ic experien ce exc han ge on programs

rnd techniques.

These men were more aware than most of the i ncipient da nger ahe ad . Some ver~, responsible business l eaders even s uggested that such tragic ex p l osions might be the on ly way to mobil ize their communities to do somethin g me anin gf ul a bout job s, education, housing and other needed pro grams for ghetto slum dwe ll e rs. A par ticipan t from Denver, Colorado grimly defined what he saw a head: We've go t to solve some of the se problems ••• i t isn't a matter of whether we want to any more, or not. We may be pretty late • .• now. This s ummer may show us some probl ems ••• we hoped we weren't going to have ••• but it's qu ite possible ••• There's a pretty good nationwide riot climate ••• and, unfortunately, as we meet with the industrial and disadvantaged people .•. our concl us ion, reluctantly~ is, there needs to be a riot ••• and that's a terrible thing, ~ it unfor tunately, this is what creates movement. �- 2 - A business executive from MinneApolis, Minnesota, admitted that job efforts of the Plans f or Progress Council there had not been making much pro gr e ss until "1:ist year , in Au gust, we had the first bad riot in Minneapolis. W~ really got some jobs going very quickly, the Plans for Progress Council got busy and got this contract with the Bureau of Apprenticeship Training •.. " An industry representative from a rn i dwestern city who had been trying to get an employer job program started was told by a fellow businessman: 'Tion't expect them to make a move, unless you have a demonstration ••• as lon g as everything is peaceful they are not going to anticipate .•• what is ••• beginning in practically every city." The gentleman from Watts also had a positive suggestion for the conference: "If you take the same men standin g on the corner the evenin g that Watts riot started, if they had come in off a back-breaking job, somewhere, the? would have went in, eat their porkchops, turnip ~reens, sit on a rickety couch, watch Wyatt Eary kill one cowboy, thev'd have been so dead asleep that the old lady would have to drag them in the bedroom. They wouldn't have been on a corner." �- 3 - THE PROBLEM ••• AND THE CHALLENGE Excerpts from address of Roger W. Wilkins, Director Communitv Relations Service, ll. S. Department of Justice "American center cities are becoming; blacker and poorer .•• Between 1960 and 1965, 2 million Negroes moved into center cities, whereas a similar if not larger number of whites moved out of the center cities. During the same period, 62% of new plant development, by value, moved into the suburbs where whites live, and where, by and large, non-whites cannot live." •½ recent Labor Department survey tells us that fully thirty-five percent of the people in slum areas have a serious unemployment problem: whether unemployed, employed only part-time, or employed at wAges below poverty level. That means that these people are in a perpetual economic state which is similar to, if not worse than the great American depression of the thirties.•• 'Tiespite all of our advances ••. today the Negro median male income is still 51% of the white median male income just as it was 16 years ago ••. Despite the advances which have benefitted mainly m{ddle class Negroes, the gap between the quality of minority group life anct majority group life is great and getting greater." " ••• It is our failure as a society to come to grips with this gap that causes us to have ••• unrest in our cities." '~he trend of the talented white Americans who have the power and the training to solve problems, who have the tax-paying power to sustain the economy of the cities moving out of the cities and the trend of the poor Negroes, poor Mexican-Americans, poor Puerto Ricans moving into the cities is accelerating. " ••• Unless we reverse current trends, we could well have islands of enormous dependency, enormous alienation, enormous hostility in the middle of the United States of America, and I suggest to you that if we permit those islands of alienation, hostility and dependency to develop, that whatever else the United States of America is in the year Two Thousand, it will not be the kind of place that we want our children and our grandchildren to live in. It will be a place where the energy, the strength, the spirit , and the dynamism which has animated this country from its beginning, will be gone ." " ••. The question for us today is whether we will make decisions and take actions now that will preserve and enhance the richness of American life. �-4- "The Federal Government cannot take this task alone, nor, I am convinced, should it even try." "The National Administration, can and should take the lead, and enunciate policies embraced on broad national principles and purposes. It should develop programs to help local people, local leaders solve their problems, but in the field of race relations what is needed more than anything else is local drive, local initiative, local effort, local success." "I go to meetings in city after city after city. I see sitting around the table, working on these problems, representatives of the city government, representatives of the federal government, representatives of the private organizations, representatives of the churches, representatives of civil rights organizations, sometimes even rep·resentatives of the private foundations, but only rarely representatives of the great businesses of this country." "I suggest to you that now it's time for all of American business to become as fully involved as you have become, in saving our cities." " •.. The question for American citizens is whether we need riots in every city in this country before we begin to move as we should. The question for American business, is whether it will exercise the kind of leadership in this field that it has exercised in so many fields in making this country great in the past." �- 5 - BTISINESS AND INDUSTRY ACCEPT TIIE CHALLENGE Excerpts from arldress by Richarrl C. Cornuelle, Executive Vice-President, National Association of Manufacturers " .•. After a generation of arguing about the consequences •.. ;rncl expense of government action on social problems (business) is beginning to realize that there is much more promise ••. in forgetting •• .the Arguments anrJ allyi;l [': themselves directly to the solution Of the problems ••• ". " •.. We h;ive a remarkable unanimit y of opinion among our (NAM) members th;it thr. r: n ~;:itest. •• most important piece of business on the a~enda of American business today is to •.. [ind out exactly what its total capabilities to solve community problems are ••• and to get busy and put them to work. "Business has always had a sense of social responsibi1ity ••. but what is important is that contemporary business is finding ways to express that responsibility directly rather than by writing checks or supportin r; secondary social a gencies." "Gallup ••• found fifty-one million Americans would like to go to work helping the problems they see in their communities if they knew how, and ••. they would be willing to contribute over two hundred and fifty million hours." " ••• if we knew how to use that ener gy as well as we know how to use human ener gy in commerce, we could have a social production worth conservatively ei g hty bill ion dollars a year." ·~s we see our business leadership involvin g themselves directly in problems of hard-core unemployment, housing, delinquency and the rest ••• we will see a unique talent for organizing human ener gy applied to these community problems." ·~ have never seen anything develop as fast as top executive awareness of the importance of direct industry-social action. We see it in the NAM in less than two years' time. The demands for. advice far exceed our limited capacity to g ive advice to companies that want to act." �- 6 - THE PROFIT AND LOSS TO BUSINESS Excerpts from the address of Frank Casse ll, Director, ll. S. Employme nt Service, Former Vice-Pre'siden t, Inland Steel-Ryerson Found at ion_!_/ '~he social cost of poverty is not fully measured by the statistics or the privation they suggest ••• the desperation and frustration that results from poverty contributes to ill health, deterioratin g citizenship values and to other factors that we aken our society . The social cost of poverty must also include the goods and services that are not produced because of the unemployment and. low productivity of the poor." Recognition of these costs to society has prompted ••• many employers to accept the cha llenge of breakin r, the cycle of poverty for seve ral million Americans ••• Many employers have embarked upon th i s ••. on their own, and some have done it with the assist;ince of government financin g . And in the process employers have le;irned that: - most most mo st most people when given the opportunitv to work want to work oeople who are unemployed are employable of the untraine d peopl e in our c ountry ar e trainable uneducated people are educabl e . "Employers have learned that the i r investment in working with these peopl e has resulted in gainin g valuable new employees and opened new labor market resources •..•. " '~he l ate Dou gla s McGregor of MIT •.. pointed out that mo s t employers th i nk o f manpowe r r e sourc es in the s ame way a s they t hink o f phys i c a l a nd financial resources. He suggested, that instead, the essential task of mana gement is a process ••• of creating opportunities, releasin g potential, removin g obstacles, encourag ing g rowth and providin g guid ance."

It was generally agreed that this kind of effort, which has been going on in upper echelon jobs, can be done more extensively at lower levels. - Dr. Kludt described an effort to determine minimal requirements for gas company meter readers in the Los Angeles area. The company required a "knowledge of mathematics." Breaking this down to the precise operations required, Kludt finally got the company to agree that they could hire men who could merely add and subtract; multiplication and division and were not really necessary and could be learned in night school while the men were working. - The Texas Division of the Champion Paper Company restructured a considerable number of entry-level jobs last year, eliminating educational and test requirements, and hired "hard-core" unemployed referred by a job project which conducted a house-tohouse canvass in high unemployment neighborhoods. The company reports that it has gotten "exceptionally good employees." As a result, it has since hired more through this program. - The Dieboldt Manufacturing Company is among companies that have hired Negroes and Spanish-speaking workers at low-skill levels, and set up in-plant training to upgrade their skills, teach English and provide other remedial programs. The company employed no Negroes or Spanish-speaking people 3 years ago; today Negroes and other minorities are 18% of the work force. Many are already moving up the ladder to higher jobs. Upgrading present employees was recommended not only as a way to open lower jobs but as a frequently overlooked, major source of good talent, particularly among minority employees who may not have had opportunity or encouragement for advancement. - The Polaroid Company and Equitable Life Insurance Company have instituted a job-posting procedure.

There was resounding agreement that the best policy or new approac h from the president or vice-president's office can get badly fouled up unless specific additional steps are taken to woek this policy into all operating parts of the company. When North American Aviation Company, which has received plaudits for its policies in hiring and training minorities, analyzed employment statistics by department and division, it found some without a single Negro or Mexican-American employee. The company has now shifted administrative r e sponsibility for equal employment policy from the Personnel Department to the line officials , creating a top management committee of vice-presidents of all operating departments in the corporate structure, and a similar committee in each branch operation. These committees analyze minority employment statistics, review qualifications of present minority employees for promotion, and receive suggestions from an Advisory Comm ittee composed of minority emp l oyees. There has been a notable increase of minorities employed in areas where they had been absent before, and in those holding supervisory jobs -even in plants in the South where "tradition and attitude" was supposed to prevent such things.y Michigan Bell Telephone Company keeps a monthly running inventory of minority employment records (which it is required to submit as a government contractor) by district, division and city. This is c irculated to every operating department head . Looking at another c ity or department's better record spurs a manager to go out and do more on his own " before the boss comes in and tells him to do better." The company has also tried FEPC-type audits on its own personnel office operations, reviewing applications of minorities not hired.

Such pre-training is now being done in some cities by social a gencies and government job programs. In others it is still l a cking, and as a result, employers a re often disappo i nte d wi th job progra m tra inee s.

The employer frequently complains that when he gives a "disadvantaged" person a chance, the employee "doesn't show," is tardy, or drops out after a short time. Where a continuing "support" program has been carried on, whether by the company or cooperating social agency, results are much better. - JOBS NOW Project clients get follow-up help from project"coaches" who ask employers to give them access to new trainees on the job, then follow through at home or wherever needed. But the employers are also asked to develop "support" themselves, through their own "coach" or a "buddy system." The results: 83% of youth referred to companies with "support" programs are still on the job, but only 24% are still working in companies where no internal "support" program was established. - JOBS NOW Project tells companies that if an employee has a problem the company should follow through; it can be referred to the social agency which is su pposed to handle it, but too often the poor are merely "bucked around from agency to agency .11 If the company checks up ("uses its muscle") to see what has happened, chances are much better that the agency will do the job.~/ ' - The Polaroid Compa ny believes it is the company's responsibility to find out why employees "don't show" and try to help. "It could be the person is trying to hold down two jobs -- it could be the ba bysitter didn't show -- if one car breaks down, several people may become absentees -- you have to be concerned with the total employee." - The Opportunities Development Corporation, a new business-supported job program in Buffalo, trained 200 "tutors" - many from ghetto neighborhoods - to work with newly placed trainees in the plant and help counse l them on and off the job, while providing needed ba si c education in a ft e r work classes.I/ - In Indi a napo lis, a business-sponsored program has recruited volun31 teer counsellors who work with job trainees constantly on a 1-1 basis.- 1/ See Part II, p.

So far, best results come However, many said that the high initial outlay would pay off in better, steadier workers. Some companies have already benefited from applying "support" techniques for disadvantaged new minorities to their regular work force, with resulting reduction of absenteeism and other problems. Basic Education is a crucial need for today's unemployed, underemployed and for many employees whose jobs are being replaced with more skilled operations. Whether school dropouts, or products of inadequate schools, these people cannot meet industry's current requirements. Some encouraging programs were reported, conducted by industry, itself, in cooperation with school systems, or ' by other agencies. There is strong evidence that "the best place to train people is in the world of work"; employees respond better to programs conducted on company premises than in educational institutions where they may have had earlier failures, or which are difficult to reach after work. -The National Association of Manufacturers started a pilot program (MIND) several years ago, which raised reading, writing and arithmetic level of Harlem youths by four grade levels in 100 hours of instruction. -NAM's MIND staff worked with the Corn Products Company in Argo, Illinois, to develop a basic education program for company employees who could not qualify for new jobs. A pilot project for 38 employees was conducted 2 hours each day after working hours on employees' own time for an average of 79 class hours per employee. It helped raise educational levels from 2-3½ years. Although the company had some difficulties with work schedul es and attendance, and did not get the �- 32 - full time projected for instruction, it is enthusiastic about results and is going ahead with a second program for 59 other employees. Cost was estimated at $200 per student, chiefly for salaries of the director and 2 "monitors", not trained teachers, but sympathetic company officials who were able to give encouragement to the students. The Corn Products Company is now taking over the "MIND" program as a commercial enterprise and will market it to other companies.!/ - The Campbell Soup Company developed a program with the Chicago Board of Education in which the Board supplied teachers and materials for a course conducted on company premises. Twentyfour employees completed a course covering grades 1-6. Classes were held 2 hours daily, on employees'own time, before or after work. The company is so pleased with results that it is now opening the program to all interested employees. Ten percent of the hourly work-force have enrolled, and a second course covering grades 7-12 is being prepared. - The Board for Fundamental Education (BFE), a non-profit organization which has conducted in-plant basic education courses for about 80,000 employees, designs special programs to meet individual company needs. Courses are divided into 3 groups: from zero t o gr ade 4; gra des 4-8 and grades 8-12. BFE recently embarked on a program to upgrade 1,600 e mployees of the 12 largest steel companies in Chicago and Baltimore. II Skill Training Programs.

The Douglas Aircraft Company has trained about 6,000 workers in this way.~/ - In Minneapolis, a Plans for Progress Council of 70 major employers has entered into a new "coupled" program. It has a contract with the Labor Department Bureau of Apprenticeship Training (BAT), for dropouts aged 17-22. The local Opportunities Industrialization Center and two other agencies will recruit trainees and give them 20 hours of basic training weekly, for which they will be paid $20.00. Employers will hire these trainees for the other 20 hours weekly and pay them $30.00 per week. (All funds come from BAT). The program allows 4-26 weeks for this initial training (OIC believes it will take 11 weeks) then trainees will automatically go into regular On-the-Job training programs in the companies. - Michigan Bell Telephone recently participated in a special MDTA clerical training program for 30 hard-core unemployed women. After 26 weeks institutional clerical training, they spent an additional 12 weeks in alternate periods of 2 weeks on the job at the company, 2 weeks back to school to concentrate on weak points noted by company supervisors, then back to the company for another 2 weeks, then back to school and so forth for the 12-week period. Fifteen of the women were hired at the end of this period; the others needed more training, but Ed Hodges of Michigan Bell said the "most impp rtant thing was the confidence gained by these women in their 6 weeks on the job." Most of them had felt they were confirmed failures and could never make it."1/ - Aerospace companies in Huntsville, Alabama have had remarkafule success in pilot programs to train unskilled rural Negroes for relatively high skill jobs. Through an employer organization (AHAC) they have strongly supported a local "rehabilitation and study center" which provides pre-work training, orientation and counselling , screens and refers a pplicants to the companies, which then provide skill-training under MDTA programs.I/ RCA has trained 20 such candidates as reproduction technicians, electronic technicians, illustrator -trainees and file clerks, who now work at wages ranging from $1.90 to $3.75 per hour. Said Paul Klein of RCA, "These are some of the best employees we have. They have real motivation."3/ 1/ See Part II , p. See Part II, p.

J.,opened its established tool maker apprentice-training program to the community by running a new program at night on the second shift. A special curriculum was developed for an initial 24 hour course in basic shop math, followed by 24 hours of blueprint reading, 24 hours of actual application, and 50 hours of direct shop learning on lathing, milling and grinding machines. Eighty men have graduated from the course; all are now employed at wages from $2.10 to $3.25 per hour. Students in the present course are 80% Negro. Western Electric has persuaded neighboring companies to help furnish instructors. Graduates of this course can enter some 1,000 firms in the area--many of which suffer serious skill shortages. This course was totally paid for by the company; the chief cost was instructor's time. Evaluating this cost, Western Electric's Henry Boardman noted that the company had spent $10,000 advertising for machinists and toolmakers in the previous year with no result. The training program cost just about the same and produced many skilled employees.~/ Apprenticeship Training. Several participants reiterated charges that restrictive union practices keep minorities from apprentice training for skilled trades. But this argument was countered by others. It was I noted that apprenticeship training is not a major route to employment for the current 63 million non-farm employees in the u. s. Even among construction employees, only 16,000 have had apprenticeship training, said Otto Pragan of the AFL-CIO. Charles Keller, President of a New Orleans construction firm,urged industry representatives who sit on joint apprenticeship committees to take responsibility to see that Negroes get applications and equal opportunity to compete for apprenticeships. 1/ See Part II, p. for other examples . �-35- In Baltimore, where a new USES Apprenticeship Information Conter and a Youth Opportunity Center are trying to help Negro youth get into apprentice-type jobs, an employer organization discovered that many boys could not affort basic equipment required for an apprentice. (A carpenter needs $40-$50 worth of tools; fitters need more than $100 of equipment). The businessmen set up a revolving Fund of several thousand dollars, told the Center that when good candidates don't have money for equipment to sign an authorization and send them to Sears or Montgomery Ward, who have agreed to bill the Fund. The apprentice pays back the loan at $1.00-$2.00 per week. There was some criticism about the unnecessary length of apprenticeships in craft industries: a carpenter's a pprentice, for example, must work an 8-hour day, then go to school 2 nights a week for 4 years before he can become a journeyman. "With our modern educational know-how, why can't we design a program to train skilled mechanics in 2 years or less?" �- 36 - Employers Take Leadership on Community Social Problems "If we can actually sit down and talk with community (minority) leaders we may have accomplished more than millions of dollars that we can conceivably throw into the community." William E. Elston, American Airlines "Remember that the poor have been footstools for officialdom all their lives. Someone is always doing something for them, to them, or on them, and their great desire is to be a part of the doing." Chester Wright, Watts, Los Angeles "We have recognized a totally new concept of how business must participate in community life." William Boucher III, Execut ive Director Greater Baltimore Committee ) This "new concept" of participation is being carried out by individual companies, by joint employe r councils and by a growing number of joint employer community organizations, in which business leaders work with a broad spectrum of citizen groups, socia l and other civic agencies. Joint efforts usua lly started as job-finding pr ograms, inevitably discovered that training and education were primary needs, and, therefore have become involved with training, schools, and in some cases, with housing, transportation, health and welfare and other job-related problems. How to establish communication •• how to know who are "real" minority l eadersa.how to get existing agencies and programs to work together constructively, were frequent questions raised at the Conference. working on cooperative programs had some answers : Those �- 37 - -The best way to reach "real" minority leaders is to contact the agencies who work in their neighborhoods; social agencies; YWCA's, NAACP, Urban Leagues, neighborhood and civic organizations. Beware of thinking that you can deal with any one "leader"; it may seem easier, but it won't reach all the people you want to reach. -Where cooperative programs have been established, existing agencies and programs have been me·s hed into the overall structure, without duplication, or stepping on anyone's toes. Most existing programs are struggling with inadequate resources; use them for that part of the program they can do best, then develop additional program where it is needed. -A coordinated, community job program eases the pressure on employers, particularly smaller employers, who have been beseiged by requests from different job programs. It can provide the busy employer with a quick central source to find where to go for what. Two community programs -- Newark and Baltimore -- have published digests, summarizing information, individual names and numbers to contact on all job training programs in their areas: (Newark listed 38 such programs in its first publication).l/ Most community job programs 1 have raised local funds first, then gone after government -- or in some cases foundation -- grants for large-scale training programs. This process has been long and sometimes discouraging, but the "pioneers'" experience should help ease the way for those who follow. Some sources of technical help were suggested at the conference.~/ Community Job Programs Some cities, notably Indianapolis and Los Angeles, have started job programs as a purely business effort on the theory that if business bears full responsibility it will do the job better. However, these programs have relied heavily on cooperation with a network of social and community groups. See Par t II, page • See page (Resources) �- 38 - More cities -- among them Newark, Rochester, Buffalo, St. Louis, Baltimore, Huntsville, Alabama, Oakland, California -- have involved a broad cross section of the community (minority groups, social and government agencies, religious and civic leaders and others) from the start in developing and operating the ir progr_a ms. They believe that the urgent need for communication between these separate groups can only be met throu gh this kind of organization, which enables constant communication of problems , as se ssment of resources and a ssignment of specific re sponsibilities. -In Indianapolis the business-sponsored project got substantial job commitments from employers, recruited and tra ined hundreds of volunteers to wo r k with unemploye d as individua l counsellors, helping them t hr ou gh s cree ning, training , j ob pl a c eme nt and f o l l ow- up on t he j ob.

Top executives of major aerospace companies are active members of this association, which carefully analyzes and involves existing resources and programs, and continues to support and encourage these before it develops new programs for unmet needs.1/ Other Community Programs Following are activities indicating new business involvement .i n jobrelated community problems including education, transportation, housing, health, and welfare. Schools "Educators say 'we don't know what to do with business; they don't cooperate. They don't talk to us.' You say to them 'When was the last time you talked to business ? ; Well, we're waiting for them to come to us. .and business groups say 'Damned educators . . . they don't understand. '" William Flynn National Association of Manufacturers The growing conviction that business must take the initiative to bridge a great communic a tion gap with the schools is reflected in NAM's recent establishment of a special Education Committee. Job training programs were called only "remedial," "treating the symptom and not the disease", or as one Conference participant put it: "It is impractic al to allow public schools of this country to produce a product which you cannot use while you are paying for it." The most frequent complaints voiced at the Conference: -elementary and secondary school graduates do not have basic skills for present and future job needs . (In many cities high school graduates were termed "six th-grade readers . ") -vocational education is still training "buggy whip makers" and similar outmoded skills rather than for industry's increasingly technical needs . 1/ See pages Also Part II, Page �- 41 - -school counsellors and other school personnel are often totally uninformed about actual job opportunities in neighborhood communities; also, they are frequently preJudiced, and hold unfair "stereotypes" about industry or factory type jobs. Beyond these criticisms is recognized a fundamental mutual need of schools and industry to find new ways to identify potential skills and adapt them to changing situations. Some specific recommendations made to business: -Get on local school boards; become actively concerned with the qua lity of eleme ntary a nd secondary e ducation in communities from which you expe ct to draw employees. -Investigate your local vocational education programs; find ways to help develop curriculum, provide instruction and materials to relate these programs to your needs. -F i nd a systema t i c way of sha ring the busine ss world with educators, r a ther tha n the once-a-year "Career Day" t ype of opera tion. Traditionally, business has not bee n active on local school boards. It wa s sugge ste d tha t " companie s don't' want e x ecutives taking strong po l i tica l pos it i ons be c au se i t might inte rf e r e with public r e l a tions." But this attitude is changing: "I think we're going to s ee more businessmen on school boards; we do have a ccounta bility in this area," said Ra nda ll Klemme , Vice Preside nt of Mutua l of Oma ha, who ha s just be come the f irst businessman on t he Omaha s chool boa rd. Some examples of s ucce ssful coope r a tion of busine ss and e ducation: -Several year s ago , the employment mana ge r of Western El e ctr ic Company,._Kearny Works. looke d at the " gene r a l" h igh school curriculum. He fourid on l y l year of science , 1 year of math, and Industria l Arts courses featuring "Woodworking" a nd " Leathercraft. " His inves t igation l ed t o a pr ogram call e d "Narrowing the Distance . " �- 42 - First, principals of six high schools were invited to tour the plant and participate in extensive evaluation sessions, exploring present and future job needs. The immediate payoff: several new courses introduced the following fall in basic technology, applied physics, applied chemistry, and a new electronics lab. Western Electric then set up an eight-week summer intern program for school guidance counsellors, exposing them to industry at work and needed educational preparation. The company paid them the equivalent of their school salaries. Evaluations of the counsellors (like those of school principals) at the end of the session revealed immense changes in attitudes and concepts about industry job opportunities. Said one: "I'm stil 1 in a state of shock after my visits to the Princeton Research Center and Clark Plant where I viewed new technology and became aware of the tremendous implications that these developments have for the world of work." One "intern," the head of an Industrial Arts program at a nearby high school, has started to develop a radically new curriculum for his school, in which realistic vocational training is incorporated and related to the entire academic program. The school expects to get hel p from industry through provision of expert speake rs and a cooperative work-study program for s e nior students.1/ -The Jersey City Chamber of Commerce has conducted an in-service training program for teachers (for which they get regular credit) in which business and industry representatives describe varied vocational requirements in area industries. -Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company's "Bridging the Gap" program brings high school counsellors and t eac hers to the company for workshops and up-to-date information of jobs, conducts plant tours and workshops for high school students and provides exhibits, films, talks, and discussion materials for schools. Illinois Bell Telephone Company has a lso conducted summer programs for counsellors and teachers at the company. 1/ A detailed report on these activities is given in the "Patterns of Participation," published by Western Electr ic Company, Kearny, N. J. �- 43 - -Denver's Plans for Progress Council and the University of Colorado sponsored a unique program in which high school counsellors spent one week in the streets experiencing daily problems of minority kids seeking jobs, then joined in seminars with industry personnel people to jointly explore job needs and job counselling problems.~/ -In Huntsville, Alabama, AHAC (an association of major employers) has become deeply involved in programs to improve schooling at all levels. AHAC has worked with local and state vocational education officials to develop new curriculum, and has provided instructors and teaching materials. It helped develop and write a proposal which won a $2.7 million Ford Foundation grant to fundamentally improve pre-school, first, second, and third grade instruction in Huntsville schools. AHAC members see this as a "long'-term investment." "It's hard to get qualified people to come South. We are growing our own" said Paul Klein, Manager of RCA Service Company.y Some questioned whether it was proper for business to "invade" the "ivory tower of educators" or whether it was possible to breach these "impregnable walls" of education. Businessmen who have been actively involved dismissed these fears. "The whole idea is so simple--it merely means getting together people who should be talking to each other." In Huntsville, · for example, bus.iness relations with school boards and city and county education officials have been excellent. "Their reaction was 'oh boy, industry people are taking an interest in education; they are going to tell us what they really need and are going to help us"' said Clinton Crace, IBM Manager in Huntsville. If educators try to defend outmoded systems, it was suggested that a few corporation heads sponsoring a study of local education could provide a most effective means of getting change. 1/ A report on this program is available in a reprint of "Maybe Tomorrow" published by MONITOR, Mountain States Telephone Company, Denver , Colorado. 2/ See Part II>Page �- 44 - Transportation: "The Jobs Are Leaving the People" "The city of Philadelphia is losing 9,000 jobs a year. .But metropolitan region employers are crying for workers at . • • skilled and semi-skilled levels . . . How does (the) man in the ghetto get to the jobs? . . . Regional transportation systems are oriented towards getting the suburban workers into the city to work and then back at home at night . . . The ghetto dweller may have to spend two to four -hours . • covering the same map distance his suburbanite brother covers in 45 minutes." Alvin Echols, Executive Director · North City Congress, Philadelphia This "Philadelphia story" was reported as a basic pattern throughout the country. For example, in Chicago job programs find it very hard to get unemployed youth to travel three hours daily to jobs offered at $1 . 90 per hour. Some urged that industry consider locating or re-locating operations in the cities where workers live; other s said this is not feasible, because industrial development would displace homes of poor minority families, or be prohibited by zoning and other restrictions. One participant said realistically: "We move where it's economic." Another added "and where there are good schools." In New Orleans, reported Charles Keller, a county-w ide government has started to revise zoning to provide industrial locations close to the central city, coupled with improved local transit. But most cities must contend with multiple political jurisdictions at their borders, making it much more difficult to plan comprehensive zoning and transportation . �- 45 - A few examples of employer efforts to improve transportation: -In Los Angeles, North American Aviation and several other large companies, individually or jointly, are providing bus transportation to bring central city ghetto residents out to jobs.y - In Long Island, New York, a company located in an industrial park with 134 other firms which employ 10,000 people and suffer a chronic shortage of unskilled and semi-skilled workers has helped start a pilot program of bus service from areas of high unemployment, aided by a federal grant. So far, employers, employees, and bus company are very pleased with the results.2/ Better transportation systems were recognized as an urgent shortterm need. However, some participants felt that the only long-range solution is available housing for minority workers, and all workers, at prices they can afford, near their jobs. Housing "Business is becoming very aware . . • that the question of jobs and education and housing are not seP,arate problems. They are related." Paul Stuber, Employment Practices Reynolds Metals Company "As we move to the suburbs and surrounding communities . . • housing must be found • . • where . . • jobs are." Edward W. Siebert, Civic Affairs Manager, Caterpillar Tractor Co. A number of large companies first became involved in housing discrimination problems when badly needed professional Negroes turned down job offers because they could not find suitable housing for their families. But a few companies and employer groups are now more actively involved in the problem of housing for workers at all levels. 1/ See Part II page See Part II page 2/ �- 46 - -When North American Aviation moved a large operation to Palmdale, California, "the only place Negroes lived was a little shantytown way outside . . . we had to talk to local business people, bankers, and real estate people. We said, "We're coming up here, we've got this kind of a work force, what are you going to do about it? Well, they began doing something about it. If whites can move to the suburbs, Negroes ought to be able to move there," said Dwight Zook. -The Caterpillar Tractor Company, largest single employer in the state of Illinois, has a~tively supported local and state fair housing legislation and has worked to involve other business and industry l eade rs in programs for ope n housing and e limination of slum housing . The compa ny a lso assures tha t housing lis ted by its transferred employees is available to all.1/ -When the Boeing Company in Seattle radically increased its employment last year from 60,000 to 90,000, it recognized that housing discrimination was a barrier to minority employment. The company set up its own l isting serv i c e , permitting any house, apartment, or lodg ing to be liste d wi t hout f ee providing i t wa s ope n without discrimination. The company got about 2,000 listings. Major expansion is finished, but the company is continuing the service. -Reynolds Metals Company opened a new plant in a deep South area whe r e no Negroe s lived . The compa ny first expl a ine d to the c i ty gove rnme nt a nd r eal esta t e pe opl e tha t Ne gro worke rs would be coming and asked their s upport a nd c oope r ation. "We are pl eas e d to say that we got it," s a id Paul Stuber , Reynolds Employment Practices Manager. Ne groes at various job levels were able to find suitable housing. " We think the pre -planning tha t went into this paid direct dividends. " -AHAC i n Huntsv i ll e, Al a bama, has a l s o he lpe d Negr o employee s get hou sing in wh ite areas . The Ass ociation has worked t o get more low cost r e nta l housing and public housing , t o reha bilita t e substandar d housing, and t o r e loc a te displ aced familie s. It organi ze d a committee r e pre se n ting t he Home Builders As socia tion,Boa rd of Realtors , Mortgage Ba nkers, Hou s ing Au t ho r ity, a nd others concerned to get action on t hese problems.I/ - I n Ch icago, as t he Conferenc e was meeting, thousands of bus ines smen were pa rt ic i pa t ing in a Good Neighbo r Proje c t, ho l ding workshops i n s uburban and metropol i t an Chicago areas to debunk myths and fe a r s a bout fal l i ng prope rty values a nd e n trance of minority fami l ie s i nto neighborhoods. The Pro j ect was sponsored by t he Leaders h ip Counc i l for Metropolitan Open Communities headed by Joseph Cook, President of the Illinois Be l l Telephone Company. 1/ See Part II page See Part II page 2/ �- 47 - But a participant commented that the involvement of business in housing problems appears to be still fairly limited, and not recognized as an essential, economic business factor. When General Electric Company took the case of a Negro engineer who had not been able to get a house in the Philadelphia area to the State Human Relations Commission, "we were told that this was the first time an employer in the State of Pennsylvania had made any statement . . • in the interest of fair housing," said George Lehman, of General Electric. Fair housing is not the only problem for minority workers. First and foremost, the Negro needs housing he can afford. Employers were urged to be more actively involved with basic landuse policies, zoning, and other political decisions in communities ) surrounding their plants. Alvin Echols, Executive Director of the North City Congress in Philadelphia, challenged businessmen to look at the inefficient way their tax dollar is used: .when high-rise public housing is constructed in the ghetto at a cost per unit of $21,000 or more for which you can build . . at least two $10,000 - $12,000 houses in suburban areas in this region." Echols warned that if suburban areas are zoned so that it is impossible to build low or middle-income housing, fair housing laws will be meaningless . Local political units pass restrictive measures making it impossible to build lower cost housing. Also, local mortgage requirements demand that a man have a minimum income of $6,000 to afford the lowest priced currently available housing . "That is a little less than $3.00 �- 48 - an hour. Can housing be built for lower income workers? Is rental housing available in your area?" he asked. Health and Welfare In communities where joint employer, or employer-community job programs have been established, health and welfare services have been involved in their organizational set-up, and used to help provide counsel and prepare disadvantaged for jobs. In Illinois, the State Chamber of Commerce actively supported a major increase in funds for the State Department of Public Aid, which has helped reduce relief case loads by providing needed counselling, training and supportive services for welfare clients to become self-sufficient workers. Employers have cooperated with the Department on job-training projects.y Health problems remain a major obstacle to reducing unemployment. William Robinson, Director of the Cook County Department of Public Aid, reported that the majority of those now on "General Assistance" in Chicago are there because of "emotional, physical, and psychological reasons . " Therefore, the work-training programs which his department has developed must have very intensive physical and mental health and other supportive services , and this means more staff, and more funds.2/ Day Care for pre-school children of unemployed women who want to get training and work is another major need. Some employers recalled the in-pl a nt day- care centers provided by industry during World War II , when women we r e a v ital labor source , and suggested that similar efforts might be c on side red again . 1/ See Par t II page 2/ See Par t II page �- 49 - -The KLH Company in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with a high percentage of women employees, discovered that child-care problems were a major cause of absenteeism. The company has just started an in-plant daycare program and is receiving funds for this pilot project from the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.1/ 1/ See Part II page �- so - THE BUSINESS-COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION Business is becoming increasingly involved in community social problems. Business-community job organizations are helping business meet its job placement problems. Such broad-based groups were seen as the most effective means to assure effective employment for the hard-core as well as effective community action on social problems obstructing such employment. -In Huntsville, Alabama, and Newark, New Jersey, the business-community organizations originally formed to work on jobs are already deeply involved with education, health and welfare, and housing.y -In Rochester, New York, the new community job program recognizes that its activities must be broadened in the future. A similar trend was reported by the Voluntary Council on Equal Opportunity in Baltimore. The Community Relations Program of the state-wide Associated Industries of Massachusetts has established liaison with, and helped coordinate, employment programs, and is now starting to work in other areas. Once communication among business, minority groups, schools, and social agencies is established through a regular working channel, the need for broader action becomes evident, and it is easier to start cooperative programs. Business-community organizations have started in different ways, but all appear to have these common essentials: -An initial core of dedicated, committed top business leadership, men who will go out to sell the idea to others. In some communities Plans for Progress firms supplied this core, in others the Chamber of Commerce; sometimes leadership was provided by just one or two top businessmen. 1/ See Par t II page �- 51 - -Effective communication and working involvement with genuine representatives of the minority community, and the complex of private, local, state, and Federal government agencies working on community social problems. -Full-time staff and budget. Although many groups started with ·volunteer services of business and community agencies, such as the Welfare Federation, all have found it necessary to provide fulltime staff once the program gets going. -Flexibility in organiz~tion and structure, enabling quick and effective response to problems as they arise, rather than fixed commitment to a single program. �- 52 - AN ACTION PROGRAM FOR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY Business and industry shoul d be doing much more , right now, on job programs for unemployed and on related community problems, said Conference participants. Their s e nse of urge ncy was borne out by the summer's uphe avals in cities across the nation. What needs to be done, and how to go about it, may differ from community to community, and can best be developed by local leadership, participants s aid , but certain basic a c tions were suggested : -Review and activate an affirma tive equal employment program throughout your own comp a ny or corporation. Some specific recomme ndations and activities rep orted at the Conference:1/ Concentrate rec ruitment on t he 80% in the ghetto who can be ma de employable and provide a real reservoir of talent and ability,rather than the 10% who can find employment for itself ,or the 10% representing chronic problems. Develop new r ec ruitme nt systems. Let opportunit ies be known t hrou gh the use of r ecruiters and organizations in the ghetto . Develop ne w methods of sc r eening and testing prospective employees, taking into consider at ion the life experiences of the applican t. Expand on-the-job training. Downgrade job development programs which demand long periods of training prior to job opportunity. Consider setting some percentage for "higher risk" employees . Develop a c ouns e lling program for new emp l oyees. Initial counselling is important to help avoid pitfalls of high interest credit buying. Ghetto e mployees a lso face multiple proble ms in their lives which affect job performance. Housing, hea l th, l e gal, and other problems could be brought to an on-the-job counselor who could refer e mployees to appropriate service agencies in the community. The Counselor should monitor the way in which these agencies respond. This monitoring would have great impact on how agencies deal with the problems. Business contributions to community agencies justify active concern about the way they provide service. 1/ See Part II page for reports of company programs . �-53- Help develop credit unions, cooperative purchasing clubs, etc. which reduce employees ' need to rely upon exhorbitant credit demands often prevalent in the ghetto. Develop "worker sponsors " already on the job to help new workers master demands of their new job environment. Identify such worker sponsors and give them status. Institute rapid, short step promotions where possible. Good performance should be rewarded quickly rather than relying upon big jumps spaced over longer periods. Stimulate educational development of employers and reward it where possible by bending rules and employment policies. Provide new programs for rapid and cheap transportation to and from work. Support the work _of employees who attempt to improve their own neighborhoods and communities in their free time. Where appropriate, make small grants to local institutions in which these employees are involved. Assist development of new business within the ghetto. -Promote broader job efforts through trade associations, which can concentrate on employme nt problems common to their particular industry. Work throu gh associations of personnel administrators, industrial relations managers. Communicate successful action through publications of these groups and through company house organs. -Urge Schools of Business Administration to add course s dealing with the specific problems of qualifying and employing disadvantaged minorities. (A participant stated that no major business school has such a course today.) -Be come actively involved with the quality and content of educ at ion-elementary, secondary, and vocational--in your community. Serve on local school boards; establish a continuous relationship and interchange with vocational and counselling programs . -Use business influence and "muscle" to get housing--at convenient locations and at prices they can pay--for minority employees. Recognize that adequate housing is an essential factor to get and retain good employees. �- 54 - -Help organize a joint business community program. Consider the experience of communities which have found it most effective to start with a broad-based organization including minority group representatives, social and civic agencies, and others to plan and work on job and job-related programs.!/ Specific groups will differ in each community, but a program might start with: Chamber of Commerce, Plans for Progress Council, or other employer group. Representatives of minority organizations, such as NAACP, Urban League, CORE, and/or other local action groups, and neighborhood organizations which have real contact with minority residents. In some areas representatives of Puerto Rican, Mexican-American, or other minority organizations should be included. Social agencies with services and links to minority community: YMCA, neighborhood houses, churches, etc. Public agencies: local Employment Service, Board of Education, Welfare agency, Youth Opportunity Center, representatives of Mayor's office, local human relations commission, etc. Council of Churches, Ministerial Alliance and civic groups concerned with employment, training, and jobs. Some basic guidelines for a community program: -Find out what is being done; what needs to be done. -Organize to coordina te and support existing programs. -Develop new programs to fill major gap& -Use experience of other communities as a guide; call on public and private resources for advice and assistance;y utilize local resources. For example: A local university's urban affairs department can help research basic community needs in housing, transportation, health , etc. The university can also help develop training programs . 1/ See Part II page for reports on community job programs. 2/ See following page for some suggested resources. �- 55 - Manpower resources for job programs might include retired executives, retired office managers and supervisors, and retired foremen and craftsmen.
