ENCLOSURES: Resolution
It is recommended that the City Com-
mission adopt a Resolution to provide
$82,500 in grant matching funds to
the Private Industry Council/South
Florida Employment and Training Con-
sortium for the operation of the
Liberty Square Youth Employment Pro- `
ject for the period July 1, 1986 to
June 30, 1987, per the attached Reso-
lution.
The Private Industry Council/South Florida Employment and Training
Consortium has recently developed a job training program for
unemployed out -of -school youth. The PIC/SFETC has already put the
program into operation at the Larchmont Gardens public housing
project with local and State Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)
funds.
More recently, additional JTPA funds became available on a local
match basis. After consulting with the City, the PIC/SFETC submitted
a proposal to the State of Florida for $150,000 to be matched with
$82,500 provided by the City of Miami and $82,500 by participating
employers and Dade County. These funds will enable the PIC/SFETC to
implement in the Liberty Square public housing project, located in
the City of Miami, a program similar to the one already in operation
at Larchmont Gardens.
The Liberty Square Youth Employment Program will serve approximately
79 minority youth. A minimum of 55 youth will be placed in
unsubsidized jobs for a minimum of 30 days. Unemployed high school
graduates will receive intensive Employability Skills Training
followed by On -the -Job Training. Unemployed school dropouts will be
provided Work Experience and functional literacy classes. The Work
Experience component will consist of refurbishing and landscaping
activities at the housing project.
