Information and Knowledge Development Potential: The Public vs. Private Sector Jobs Demonstration Project.

Gilsinan, James F.

Evaluation Review, v8 n3 p371-88 Jun 1984

This article suggests the limited success in meeting goals of the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act is due to a misunderstanding of the phrase "knowledge development." The differences between the public and private sector's ability to improve work attitudes, skills, and youths' chances to find unsubsidized jobs are examined. (Author/DWH)
