OAKLAND COUNTY PROBATE COURT
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
(Proposed)
October, 1987
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
I. PROGRAM STATEMENT
The Court's Youth Employment Training Program (Y.E.T.P.) is designed
to help court wards achieve basic employability skills and whenever
possible assist them in obtaining and keeping a job.
II. PROGRAM CRITERIA
Y.E.T.P. is intended to serve those youth between 14 and 16 years of
age, receiving casework services. Each youth may or may not be
destined to complete his/her secondary education. In some cases,
participation and completion of Y.E.T.P., along with actual job
placement, may be justification to allow a youth to drop out of school
when the likelihood of eventual graduation is bleak. Others will
continue both school and work.
III. REFERRAL
Each youth is to be screened and referred to the program's Coordinator
by the assigned. caseworker with review/approval by the respective
supervisor. Referrals may also come directly from a Judge/Referee
pursuant to a court hearing. Ideally program participation will be
largely voluntary, but it may be ordered or incorporated with
"Probationary Rules and Regulations." Meaningful social/psychological
materials shall be summarized for the Coordinator's use.
IV. OPERATIONAL CCNFIGURATION
Y.E.T.P. will be conducted in an informal, didactic group setting of
no more than fifteen (15) enrollees per each six week session. Each
weekly session will last two hours, with a ten minute break between
hours. The program's Coodinator will serve as instructor. Sessions
will be held during the early evening hours, i.e., 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
-2-
(flexible) Each cycle of classes will be strategically
sited in various county locations so as to maximize excessability.
Depending upon program demand, multiple sessions may be hosted
simultaneously on different days at different locations.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, each enrollee will
receive a "Certificate of Completion".
Actual job placement will depend upon a number of factors, including
but not limited to: job market availability, each individual's lob
skills, and one's personal motivation, etc. Whenever possible, job
"leads" will be furnished as well as individual assistance via the
coordinator and/or caseworker. The services of public and private
employment agencies will be used where feasible. To the degree
possible/ the Court's Youth Community Service staff may assist with
job search and aquisition. The object of the program is to see that
each youth obtains and continues a job.
If possible, job placement oversight shall be extended for 90 days by
the Coordinator at which time, it appropriate, a recommendation may be
made that a court ward be allowed to discontinue formal education for
the immediate future in view of significant employment. Others may
continue school as well as part time work. After 90 days, the
caseworker will assume the role of monitoring continued lob placement
along with regular case supervision until dismissed.
V. PROGRAM CONTENT
As part of the initial group session, an appropriate lob aptitude test
shall be given. Students can then see the type of work or job for
which they are best suited.
An overview of career planning shall also be covered during the first
session with emphasis placed upon one's own job preparedness and the
need to possess basic academic skills as required by the job market,
1.e., mastery of the 3-R's.
Subsequent sessions shall address the following points:
- Job search and needed preparatory work
- completing the employment application, covering letter and
possibly a -resume (hands on practice).
- obtaining/providing meaningful references
- handling the job interview (role play to be used)
normal job expectations from the employer's standpoint
- responding appropriately to the "Boss" and other "authority
figures"
- handling job probation and establishing a positive work record
- how to handle "goofs" and a reprimand ("keeping your cool")
- how to "score points"
- learning how to handle the paycheck
- learning how to be promoted
Other selected subjects will be handled by the program Coordinator as
deemed appropriate.
VI. PROGRAM CONSTRUCTION AND STYLE OF PRESENTATION
Each session will be handled informally. Group discussions and
question 'n' answer sessions will be encouraged. "Show 'n' Tell"
delivery will be emphasized with a snappy, high stepping style.
Visual aids will be utilized to the fullest. Role play and hands on
practice will also play an important part in building the students'
confidence/skill. Resource persons may be used as "Experts" as well
as actual "Bosses" who can "tell it like it is". Other creative
approaches shall be used to sustain a high level of interest and
enthusiasm.
-4-
The actual program construct will be based upon lesson plans for each
session. Their development will be handled by the program Coordinator
and shall be predicated upon recognized resource materials available
from Oakland Schools, M.S.U.'s Cooperative Extension Services, and
elsewhere.
VII. PROGRAM CCORDINIATCR/COST
Ideally the Coordinator would be a former (retired) secondary school
teacher with extensive experience in vocational training and/or
guidance and counseling.
The program will operate year around. The first year would represent
some initial start-up cost. The Coordinator 'S hourly rate of pay
would be approximately $15.00 per a professional, contract, void of
fringe benefits. The ongoing program operation would be budgeted for
15 hours per week.
Initial Program Development: $ 750
(estimated at 50 hours @ $15.00)
Ongoing operational hours for twelve months: $10,800
(60 hours x12 months = 720 hours x $15.00)
Materials and Miscellaneous Supplies: $ 2,500
Mileage: $ 225
(100 miles per month x 9 = 900 x .25)
Pay Subsidy: $14,400
(To be paid only as necessary as an
employment/employer incentive for
the first 90 days at $2.00 per hour.
Cost computed: 30 kids x 20 hours
per week x $2.00 x 12 weeks. Each
subsidy is to be adjustable as
approved by coordinator.)
Contingency Fund:
Total Estimated Cost for First Year
$ 1,325
$ 30,000

Dear Karl:
We originally had not planned to submit the Youth Employment
Training Program Proposal as a part of our total 1969 Skillman
Foundation request,
At this time, however, I'd like to request that this new
initiative be included as an addendum to and part of our 1989
request package already forwarded to you.
In addition to five copies of the proposal, find enclosed:
-An explanation of the process by which success or failure of the
program will be measured;
-A list of other sources approached to fund the project;
-A listing of staff responsible for implementation of the program;
-A plan for continuation of the program at the conclusion of
Foundation funding.
Inclusion of this request will increase our total 1989 Skillman
Foundation Request to: $181,333. Thank you for your assistance
on this project.
Very truly yours,

LIST OF NON-SKILLMAN FOUNDATION
SOURCES OF FUNDING SOLICITATION
The Court Administrator's Office made direct contact in writing
with follow-up calls to 15 individuals, corporations, and
foundations in an effort to engender financial support to this
program initiative.
Among the corporations and foundation entities were:
General Motors Corp.
Midas Muffler
Detroit Edison
Ziebart International Corp.
DeVlieg Foundation
STAFF RESPONSIBLE FOR
YOUTH EMPLOYMENT TRAINING PROGRAM
The program is written with the intention of seeking to hire a
retired secondary school teacher with experience in vocational
training and/or guidance and counseling.
This would afford the program a high level of expertise and
contacts at the least amount of expenditure for personnel costs.
This would also provide the hired individual with constructive use
of retirement time and continued application of skills toward a
meaningful end.
PLAN FOR CONTINUATION OF FUNDING
The plan for continuation of funding post Skillman funding, should
we be fortunate in being a recipient for this purpose, is:
A. To take what would hopefully be a proven initiative and
request corporate backing by a primary Oakland County
employer, -
-or-
B. To request Department of Labor funding for the program,
-or-
C. To request Board of Commissioners support to fund through
conversion of existing monies for a function provided by the
Court which may no longer be in 1992.
