A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY
TO CONGRATULATE THE JOB CORPS ON ITS 15TH ANNIVERSARY
AND TO SUPPORT THE SEARCH FOR THESE THOUSANDS OF FORMER
JOB CORPS STUDENTS TO CELEBRATE A REUNION OF SUCCESS
WHEREAS, by this September, the Los Angeles YWCA Job Corps will
have trained over 10,000 young men and women, 6500 from Los Angeles and
hundreds of the others remaining to work in the area after graduation; and
WHEREAS, through the educational, vocational and social curricula,
these young people are trained for over 50 different occupations and are
equipped with skills to lead productive lives; and
WHEREAS, the majority of Job Corps graduates are gainfully em-
ployed in the Los Angeles area, serving their communities by filling a
variety of responsible and essential job positions; and
WHEREAS, the percentage of students placed in jobs after train-
ing (80 %) reflects the great amount of money Job Corps Alumni are putting
back into the economy, rather than taking out on public assistance programs;
and
WHEREAS, once found, these alumni can serve as excellent role
models and volunteers that Job Corps students can identify with and look
up to, thus helping the program continue to present employable, reliable
young men and women to work in the Los Angeles area:
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Downey City Council con-
gratulates the Job Corps on its 15th anniversary and supports the search
-- for these thousands of former Job Corps students to celebrate a reunion of
success.
The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of July , 1980.
