FROM: Arthur C. Miner, Director Contra
Private Industry Council Costa
DATE: April 17, 1984 County
SUBJECT: PROCLAIMING THE MONTH OF MAY, 1984, AS HIRE-A-YOUTH MONTH IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation
That the Board PROCLAIM the month of May, 1984, as Hire-A-Youth Month in
Contra Costa County and that the Board Chairman is AUTHORIZED to execute the
appropriate proclamation.
Background
The Private Industry Council of Contra Costa County is again coordinating a
cooperative civic effort to implement a county-wide unsubsidized summer jobs
program to secure summer employment opportunities for the youth of Contra
Costa County. The thrust of the program is to encourage local employers to
hire youth during the summer months.
The County's 1983 program was an overwhelming success, with over 3000 county
youth finding employment. The program went a long way toward lowering the
level of youth unemployment that would have otherwise existed last summer.
Unfortunately, this summer the unemployment rate for youth is again high and
as such, there is a need to help young people find jobs.
The youth of Contra Costa County are one of our greatest resources and their
contributions to local communities have been invaluable. Therefore, the PIC
requests the Board of Supervisors to enhance the benefits from this readily
available labor force to private business by designating the month of May as
"Hire-A-Youth Month".
