Dislocated Worker Project.
Due to the severe economic decline in the automobile manufacturing industry in southeastern Michigan, a Dislocated Workers Program has been developed through the partnership of the Flint Area Chamber of Commerce, three community colleges, the National Center for Research in Vocational Education, the Michigan State Department of Education, the United Auto Workers (UAW)-General Motors (GM) Human Resource Center, and the University of Michigan at Flint. The purpose of the program is to identify job openings; identify tasks essential to performing the jobs; assemble curriculum material for job-specific training programs of 1 year or less; and place laid-off UAW-GM members into full-time jobs paying $5.50 or more per hour. This report on the Displaced Workers program outlines or offers brief descriptions of the following program components: (1) funding sources; (2) the job analysis process used to identify and validate training targets; (3) project activities; (4) the displaced worker intake process; (5) the job placement process; (6) the job training curriculum development process; (7) project objectives; (8) dates and topics of workshops for community college personnel; (9) community college curricula identified as appropriate for retraining purposes; and (10) program participants. A breakdown of occupations according to their rank within the training and placement interests of the UAW-GM Human Resource Center is attached. (MDB)
