In order to impact on unemployment of adults and to increase job mobility, the following needs must be met: an increased number of adequate delivery systems; improved teacher education and guidance and counseling programs; early exposure to career development with equal, if not greater, emphasis placed on vocational education; identification of client needs, specifically the needs of the currently unemployed and members of special needs groups; and high visibility from a publicity and media standpoint. Close relationships must be established among the education community, legislative community, and employment community so that (1) forecasting systems for future job needs can be developed; (2) the needs of the unemployed, employees, and employers can be identified; and (3) both long-range and short-term programs can be developed to meet these needs.
