Strategies for Success: Recruiting and Motivating JTPA Participants.
Tracy, Marianne, Ed.; And Others
This booklet describes four strategies used in successful recruitment and motivational programs for Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) participants: (1) locate potential participants whose degree of disenfranchisement may be so great that they have given up and dropped out; (2) raise participants' expectations so that they can exercise more control over their lives; (3) build trust among participants so that "the system" can provide a better alternative than their current situation can; and (4) provide the support necessary to maintain participants' motivation. Following the narrative summary, the major portion of this report for job training professionals consists of National Alliance of Business Bulletins that describe model JTPA recruitment and motivational programs in detail. Each bulletin provides the following information: (1) a narrative description; (2) program results in terms of applicants recruited; (3) the name and phone number of a contact person; (4) "hints for success"; (5) products and/or publications related to the program; and (6) names of companies involved in the project.
