I THE CAROLINA TIMES . SAT., OCTOBER 24, 1881 fcOCC Refund Efforts In Progress By Donald Alderman . Refunding - efforts have begun on a phased out program that was designed to provide North Carolina welfare mothers with education, training and job skills development.

The COCC began operating at four black institutions of higher learning two public and two private in April, 1981. The six month federally funded project, according to ad ministrators,, has not realized full potential! because of its short life , span. . "I would like to see more people have the op portunity to benefit from thje COCC jexperience, said Ms. Scherrye Williams, the program's recruiter-counselor at North Carolina Central University. "You cant get a feel for the pro gram's' worth when measured over a short period of time." The four institutions NCCU, St. Augustine's College, Shaw University and Fayetteville State University are presen ting a proposal to the U.S. Department of Labor seeking refunding of the jobs skills pro gram that was proposed under the Carter Ad ministration's Welfare Reform Act. MS. Drew, COCC recruiter counselor at NCCU; said refunding depends largely upon the labor department's evaluation of the pro gram's effectiveness. However, Ms, Vemessa Taylor, COCC : secretary, says it is dif ficult to determine suc cess without continuity. She says considering the time involved in organiz ing the program, effec tiveness should be based on an evaluation of goals and objectives over at least a one-year period.. , Members whose families are dependent upon government ' assistance such as Aid to , Families with Dependent Children , and Food . Coupons have benefited tremendously from the education and jobs skills training provided by the COCC. The majority of parents involved in the program at NCCU have been able to land jobs, within the private sector, requiring no public assistance, according to COCC administrators. Sixty-four per cent of participants were able to land meaningful employ ment or further pursue higher learning a suc cess rate which indicates there is great potential for the COCC to assist economically and educa-; tionally disadvantaged mothers who. head households. 1 ,; .'- The program is al's a good investment of tax-; payers' dollars Tax dollars are better spent, i some suggest, by helping people to .help! .themselves than by perpetuating -the "welfare trap." Ms. Taylor said the 101 participants ll at , NCCU have signed a petition urging Gov. Jim Hunt to support the COCC refunding ef forts, and petitions are being circulated ' throughout the Durham community that will demonstrate widespread support for the program. The COCC project seeks to utilize 'a computer-based cur riculum concept entitled "Plato" as a means of advancing academic levels, and to develop marketable job searching skills.

"Ifr is distressing to know that less than one per cent of the engineers in this country are black, ' and less than one per cent of the country's cer tified public accountants. : are black." 1 "This means," Ruffin said,, "we have a new , challenge. We have to go back; to the classrooms. . . .We must use all our time productively. We must bridge the gap." He said the disparity of black professionals is of. such high proportions that black students must sacrifice nearly all social life in order to bridge the gap. "If your friends want to boogie all night, tell them 'I can't go, I'm go ing to the library and book tonight' You'll. have time to party.

"It's distressing to see some of us wasting our time," he remarked.
