This report provides for Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) prime sponsors who are responsible for labor market information, a set of guidelines to follow for developing an agency-wide plan for the operational use of labor market information. The body of the report outlines step-by-step procedures for creating such a plan. A brief discussion of pertinent issues, questions, and concerns accompanies each procedural step. Then, in four attached appendixes, sample forms are provided for the work that needs to be done for the completion of the plan. Appendix A contains three sets of interviewing forms, or questionnaires--one for the director of the local employment and training agency; one for key management and operations staff members; and one for external economic development, social service, and community planning agencies. Appendix B is composed of summary planning worksheets, while Appendix C contains a second set of sample summary worksheets on which to display data gathered from the interview questionnaires. Preliminary information for the development of an annual operational plan for the use of labor market information for the Fort Wayne (Indiana) Area Consortium makes up Appendix D. (Much of the conceptual work for this report was based on field work in that city and on consultation with agency staff members.) The report is written in the form of suggested guidelines. By following the outlined procedures, a comprehensive operational plan can be developed for the use of labor market information. (KC)
