The format of the conference will be designed to encourage
maximum discussion on how to expand employment opportunities for
the hard-core unemployed.

Representation from national business leadership will be
attending. A general session with prominent speakers will be
held and workshops on the subject will be formed.

It is planned that three specific topics would be discussed:

(1) Specific examples on how the private sector has partici-
pated in programs which expand employment opportunities
for the hard-core unemployed on a local level.

(2) Formation of local employment committees to perform
specific tasks:
a. Assess local employment problems and manpower programs.
b. Develop programs that are specific and action oriented.
c. Continue to evaluate the employment problems and
programs, and issue recommendations to overcome local
employment problems.

(3) The relationship between local employment committees and
the Task Force on Private Employment and how the Task
Force can assist the local committees.
