Experimental and demonstration manpower projects

Abstract

The U. S. Department of Labor's experimental and demonstration (E and D) program seeks to develop and test through actual project operation, new ideas and techniques to meet manpower problems more effectively. Projects focus on the particular problems which impede employment of the unemployed and underemployed and which are not being met effectively by established manpower program methods. They seek, through innovative techniques and new types of organizational arrangements, to determine how the programs might better "reach" and help prepare such workers for jobs, place them, and retain and upgrade them in gainful employment.
