This report on new careers training for the poor discusses the feasibility of developing professional level careers for persons with relatively little education and few credentials; and reviews, in testimony before the Senate Subcommittee on Government Research, the efforts of the New Jersey Community Action Training Institute (CATI) in trainee motivation and new careers development. It also relates how Rutgers University and various community action agencies are using indigenous personnel to bring adult education to ghetto areas, and describes the New Jersey Civil Service Commission's efforts to use nonprofessional aides in public welfare agencies. Other recent CATI materials are listed. (This document is also available from: New Jersey Community Action Training Institute, Inc., P.O. Box 2465 South Broad St., Trenton, New Jersey 08610.) (LY)
