RE: JTPA ALUMNI WEEK
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, to the world, the tearing down of the Berlin Wall was a wondrous
event, a cause for celebrating the progression of freedom; to the JTPA partic-
ipants, the tearing down of the barriers to their ability to be employed is
equally significant in insuring personal choice and freedom, and this accomplish-
ment of the JTPA program is being celebrated nationally during the week of
August 27-September 3, 1990; and
WHEREAS, since 1982, the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Program has
assisted over 4 million Americans in gaining the necessary skills to find and
keep jobs, 28,631 beneficiaries of JTPA are Oakland County residents; and
WHEREAS, like any government program, there are numbers and statistics
which present its success ratio, but the celebration of JTPA Alumni Week is
designed to put faces on those statistics, so that we are not attempting to
celebrate successful percentages, but rather personal, individual triumphs of
our citizens.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners,
does hereby most heartily congratulate all of the 28,631 JTPA Alumni of Oakland
County, and extends its gratitude to all who have participated in providing the
training programs which have offered these citizens a new life; and does hereby
join with local governments throughout the Nation in proclaiming August 27-
September 3, 1990 as JTPA ALUMNI WEEK IN OAKLAND COUNTY.
