Lee discusses CET A program
RALEIGH - Wise
?pending of CETA funds
through the state's Divi
sion of Community
Employment can prompt
more U.S. funds for
similar projects in the
state according to Natural
Resources and Community
Development Secretary
Howard Lee.
Speaking at a meeting of
the state's Employment
and Training Council
recently, Lee said:
"We've put out many
dollars and it's made many
differences in people's
lives, but a lot of our pro
grams need attention."
Lee told the council that
the Division must look at
helpful agencies withing
the state government that
can contribute to making
maximum use of its dollars
and provide the best train
ing for those needing the
services of the unit.
He pointed out, for ex
ample, that shellfish in the
eastern shoreline area of
the state, formerly in
polluted waters, have been
moved to safer waters,
and, thus, helped
economically those regions
depending upon the crusta
ceans for their livelihood.
Other programs
operated through the Divi
sion's CETA funds have
provided similar benefits
to North Carolinians, he
said.
"The winds of change
are blowing over CETA
now." he said, "especially
on the national level. "
Lee said he has been
spending must time in
Washington, D.C. working
for the CETA bill now
before the Congress.
He told the council that
the positive aspects of the
CETA program far
outweight the problems
that have arisen in some
areas over the past several
years.
"We must take a more
positive attitude in regard
to CETA and those things
we want to change. While
we have porblems and
some weaknesses, we also
have done some awfully
good things. North
Carolina has one of the bet
ter programs overall in the
nation. You have helped to
make it that way," he told
the council.
He pledged that he would
name a new director for
the Division within three
weeks, and in doing so, he
said he would hope that the
new director would have a
hard-hitting program of
services ready as quickly
as possible for directing
the Division.
Continuing, he said he
would call on the members
of the council to meet more
often and contribute more
to the operations of the
Division. "I want to get
you more involved in the
operations," be said. He
praised the work done in
the past by the group.
In related matters, the
council voted to permit
Durham and Orange coun
ties to receive funding of
CETA programs and
technical assistance in
establishing work through
the Region J Council of
Governments. Durham
and Orange now join the
balance-of-state prime
sponsorship after the city
of Durham withdrew from
the Durham-Orange Con
sortium. The consortium
was empowered to obtain
funding directly from the
U.S. Department of Labor.
The Council also receiv
ed reports on CETA pro
grams for fiscal 1979,
which begins Oct. 1, and in
formation on establish
ment of a national pilot
employment opportunities
which is being planned for
operation in Nash,
Edgecombe, and Wilson
counties. The two-year
program may be awarded
up to |36 million in the
three counties to create
2,000 full-time training and
employment jobs. Workers
eligible for the jobs will be
wage earners in
households with children
and available between 8
a.m. and 5 p.m. for a five
day work week. The pro
ject is now being prepared
under a $250,000 planning
grant from the U.S.
Department of Labor.
The council was told that
North Carolina won $3.6
million in Skill Training
Improvement Program
funds to provide training in
skilled jobs.
