Intended to serve as a sourcebook for prime sponsors, this report summarizes the first phase of a project to analyze and document the activities of the National Program for Selected Population Segments (NPSPS). NPSPS was funded under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) to provide employment and training services to special population groups, e.g., women, youth, rural workers. The content is in three sections and provides a preliminary summary of the program goals, project types, and project activities. Section 1 describes the NPSPS program with regard to its legislative authority, project selection procedures, programmatic intent, project goals, strategies and organizational structures, project services, and client eligibility and recruitment. Section 2 describes the types of projects currently serving each selected population segment. Section 3 comprises the bulk of this report and presents project-by-project information in a concise one-page abstract which includes prime sponsor, project title, contact person, project description, major goals and objectives, organization administering the project, staffing budget, recruitment process and client profile, activities, outcome to-date, progress and problems, replication issues, documentation available, and duration of grant. These abstracts include twenty-six women projects, twenty-one handicapped projects, sixteen youth projects, seven ex-offender projects, four rural projects, five older worker projects, and three other types of projects.
