----WIN _._.
!. PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
Belafonte Tacolcy Center operates multiple service programs for youth,
including: Recreation/Sports, After School Care, Outdoor Challenge
(delinquency prevention), Vocational and Employment Programs, The City
of Miami funds Youth Employment and Job Readiness Project, which pro-
vides multiple employment -related services and vocational adjustment
assistance to a minimum of 250 youth (ages 15-25), of whom 75% must be
City of Miami residents living in either ;the Edison/Little River or
Model City target areas. In addition, the program is required to place
a minimum of 50 youth in jobs and 100 youth in appropriate vocational
training and/or other, educational settings. The design of this program
provided for an in-depth employability assessment of each program parti-
cipant, followed -up by employment -related counseling, and referral/ °w
placement to appropriate settings (i.e., jobs, vocational training or
school).
Based on staff's nine month performance assessments 559 different youth''
were served. However, these youth were treated'under two (2) distinct
components within the vocational program, although the City's Work Program
with the Agency only recognized one of these. The majority of all clients
served were from the CETA Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP), wherein
348 were enrolled in the program and 250 were placed in pre -determined
summer jobs. The remaining 211 clients were served in the agreed program for
F.R.S. As a combined program, 277 youth were placed in jobs, 52 were
referred for training and/or other vocational opportunities and 230 are
projected to be carried over for services in the next fiscal year. However,
it should be recognized that the performance rate.was exceedingly high
during the summer due to the CETA program and was significantly less
during the remainder of the year. Therefore, it is staffs recommendation
that, for FY-80/81, the Agency make a concerted effort during the non-CETA
period to provide more intensive vocational services to clients to assist -
youth in receiving jobs which would be of more lasting benefit than those
derived from a short term CETA program,
