Dear Mr, Sweat:
The Training Corporation of America (TCA), an affiliate of
Westinghouse Atr Brake Company (WABCO), ts an educational organtza-
tton with extensive experience in developing, operating, and managing
vocational training programs for the hard-core unemployed. TCA also
has planned and evaluated a vartety of educattonal endeavors in the
U.S. and overseas.
Recently, TCA has been discussing pre-vocational training for
Atlanta's hard-core unemployed with NAB and the Chamber of Commerce.
Briefly, we understand, through discusstons with Mr. Clinton Rogers,
that National Alliance for Businessmen has developed numerous job
commitments in Atlanta. A program can be developed which would train
the young hard-core unemployed for these jobs in a non-restdential,
co-educational center that will relate itself in a most meaningful
way with your school system. In this manner, Atlanta's industries could
fulfill thetr job commitments to NAB by hiring trained'hard-core unemployed.
Federal funding of such training may be available through a single
training contractor, such as TCA, in the proposed Inner-City Job Corps
Training Center program to be funded thts summer by OFO. Only five
cities are to be funded. The Training Corporation of America, which
operates both OEO and Labor Department training programs, would like
to propose to the OEO the establishment of one of these centers in
Atlanta. In order to prepare such a proposal, TCA feels the etty's
approval of the Inner-City Job Corps concept is essential.
