WORK-STUDY PROGRAM COOPERATES WITH INDUSTRY

(By Sid R. Peters, Goldey Beacom School of Business, Wilmington, Del., with J. William Harrison, Jr., Employee Relations Department, E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc., Wilmington, Del.)

(A story of cooperation between school and industry to produce effective workers)

The Academic Stenographer Training Program sponsored by the DuPont Company in cooperation with the Goldey Beacom School of Business in Wilmington, Delaware, will begin its seventeenth class on June 17, 1964. Qualifying tests for the work-study program were given recently to more than 100 young women from high schools and colleges in Delaware and a half dozen nearby states.

This training program is designed to attract high school girls with an academic background and to enable them to get started in a stenographic career and is believed by many to be the most extensive company-sponsored training program for stenographers in the country.

Officials of the DuPont Company state that there is a constant need for stenographers in business and industry, and they hope that more young women will become interested in stenography as a career in itself, or as a stepping-stone to a secretarial career. Toward this end DuPont established the Academic Stenographer Training Program in cooperation with Goldey Beacom School of Business.

THE PLAN

The students who are permitted to take the qualifying tests must have earned at least a B average in school. They are thoroughly screened by their high school guidance counselor and recommended for the program by their high school faculty.

Following the testing program, DuPont and Goldey Beacom screen these candidates and choose mutually acceptable girls to participate in the program, the final decision resting with DuPont.

The accepted candidates start classes at Goldey Beacom and are concurrently employed at DuPont. DuPont pays the girls $1.25 an hour (approximately $217 a month) on the basis of an eight hour day. The girls pay for their school tuition costs, books, materials, and pay their living expenses, ostensibly out of the salary DuPont pays them.

The students work in pairs, with one student attending Goldey Beacom four hours in the morning and working at DuPont four hours in the afternoon. Her partner works at DuPont in the morning and attends school in the afternoon.

Theory and practice are combined for the stenographic trainees under this program. Almost as quickly as they have mastered something in the Goldey Beacom classroom, the students have an opportunity to use it in the DuPont offices. It is often only days between the theoretical and practical, instead of the normal interval of months that is found in many college courses.

Successful completion of the accelerated course of study at Goldey Beacom (38 weeks) leads to a permanent job with DuPont in stenographic positions according to the stenographic requisitions open at that time. If there should be more girls than openings at DuPont, the extra girls will be offered positions as clerks, typists, and other duties until such time as stenographic vacancies occur.

It is anticipated that, if the girls have not completed the course at Goldey Beacom entirely within the 38 weeks, they will have developed sufficient proficiency to satisfy DuPont's minimum standards and will be so near completion that they can finish within a short time by attending the evening school sessions.

Following the satisfactory completion of the program and an additional year of service as a stenographer with DuPont (such service to conform to DuPont's continuity of service regulations), one half of the day school tuition cost paid by the girls to the school will be reimbursed by DuPont.

After the satisfactory completion of a second year with DuPont, the remaining half of their day school tuition cost will be reimbursed.

COST TO COMPANY

Under the DuPont Plan, the trainee is paid a total of $50 a week, of which $25 is for the time she is in school. Over the period of 38 weeks she is paid a total of $950 for the time she is in school. Adding possible refunds of tuition ($640), the company has a potential investment of $1,590 in each trainee.

The company estimates that if the girl remains with the company only two years after completing the training period, it has cost the company a premium of approximately 38 cents an hour. If she remains longer, the extra cost is proportionately less (see table).

RETENTION OF TRAINEES

One group completed its training in April, 1963. Of the 35 girls in the group, 28, or 80 percent, are still with the company. Of these 28 employees, 27, or 96.5 percent, are classified as stenographers or secretaries.

Similar plans have been extended to other companies through the Goldey Beacom School of Business.

In 1951, and every year since, the Atlas Powder Company of Wilmington authorized Goldey Beacom to aid them in recruiting and training stenographers. The testing program administered by Goldey Beacom is open to both business education and academic graduates. In this way, the company secures typists with some stenographic ability from the outset.

Under this plan, the Atlas Company pays the students a monthly salary for four hours a day and also pays Goldey Beacom for tuition, books, and supplies.

THE BANCROFT PLAN

For several years, Joseph Bancroft & Sons Company and other companies in Wilmington have sponsored a tuition aid plan for academic and business education high school seniors. The company pays all the tuition ($640) for successful candidates for one school year, or 38 weeks. Under the Bancroft Plan, however, the trainees are not required to work for the company during the training period, but are expected to work for the company upon completion of school.

More important to some students is the regular work experience plans at Goldey Beacom. (Work experience refers to plans by which students earn their own way by part-time employment.)

In most cases, students are placed by the employment bureau at Goldey Beacom on a half day basis as stenographers, typists, accounting clerks, salesmen, and other various kinds of employment depending on the abilities of the student. According to a recent survey, students earned over $300,000 last year on these plans and averaged $28 a week each.

CREDIT FOR EXPERIENCE

Students in this program are entitled to receive three semester hours of credit for appropriate work experience. In order to receive this credit, the student must have a minimum of three months of half-time experience doing work related to his school program and must have a letter of recommendation from his employer.

Two full tuition scholarships to Goldey Beacom are offered by the National Vulcanized Fibre Company and are open to any high school graduate. Employment by the company on a half-time basis is available to the scholarship winners while they attend school.

Whether on the high school level or the post-high school level, work study plans can be successful if careful planning is done by representatives of business education ond of industry.

First of all, these plans enable the school to train students, within limits, ac cording to specifications set up by the sponsoring companies. Further, the plans help to relieve the critical shortage of office workers by furnishing part-time

workers where none were available and by adding people to the stenographic career field.

These plans also help to make school work more meaningful to students and help them and their parents to meet the cost of tuition.

Last, but not least, these plans represent the finest kind of cooperation between education and industry.

Senator CLARK. Mr. Fulton, will you summarize it as briefly as you can?

Mr. FULTON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman and members of the subcommittee. As I said, Mr. Myers was unable to be here today. However, he has asked me to comment on his statement.

Senator CLARK. Perhaps you had better identify yourself.

Mr. FULTON. I am executive director and general counsel for the United Business Schools Association. Mr. Myers is a member of the board of directors. He is also secretary-treasurer of the Sawyer School of Business in Los Angeles.

He is an educator with experience in universities and I believe he is a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia. The Sawyer School of Business is over 50 years old.

Senator CLARK. Where is it located?

Mr. FULTON. It is located in Los Angeles, Calif. Mr. Myers has conducted many, many successful programs for the Manpower Development and Training Administration as well as under Vocational Rehabilitation Administration and similar programs.

Senator CLARK. Despite your lack of association with the Empire State you may proceed on the theory that New York has a lot to learn from both California and Louisiana.

Mr. FULTON. The Chair is most gracious.

In reviewing Mr. Harrison Myers' statement, Senator, I would like to clearly establish that the some 500 schools that belong to the United Business Schools Association should not be included among those critics alluded to by Mr. Shriver the other day when he said there were some people who were against his program 2 years ago but now they say they can do it better.

We testified in support of the program in the 1964 hearings. The association supported the program and it still hopes for an opportunity to contribute to its success.

Section 103(b) of the original OEO Act specifically called for the utilization of local, public, and private educational institutions. May I repeat and emphasize the word "local." This was taken from section 231 of MDTA. Our experience has been such that the OEO to date has not fully implemented this authority to use local schools.

It is this disappointment which is one of our major points of concern. We have never been able to find out officially from OEO whether or not they are using any local private educational institutions.

Now as a matter of fact Mr. Myers did handle a secretarial training program and under a subcontract with the Los Angeles YWCA and when that Job Corps program got in trouble, they could not run it on their own and came to him for help.

I believe there is a little program running in West Virginia and there might be a basic education program somewhere in Arkansas, but I have not been able to get that information from OEO.

Basically, we are still bewildered. With our experience of over 45 years of training people for the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration, with the many successful MDTA programs, we just are confused as to why OEO seems to prefer this method of a giant Job Corps center where everybody in the Job Corps center is identified, "You are poverty stricken."

Where by contrast, and I have in Mr. Myers' exhibits. it is exhibit B-3, an article reprinted from the Department of Labor "Employment Service Review" showing how under MDTA individual referrals are made to existing normal educational institutions and fully integrated into the total educational and social life of the institution. We think this is a way to prepare people who will work in a normal atmosphere to be educated in a normal atmosphere.

I think one of the most perceptive news stories that has come out about the poverty program appeared in the Washington Post on April 3, 1966. It is exhibit A in Mr. Myers' statement. It is rather well summed up by the writer, Mr. Raspberry, where he says, "What do the poor want?" The answer of the poor is "a job, man, a job." I think this is most appropriate.

Now, exhibits B-1 and B-3 are actual examples of MDTA programs being carried out under contract with independent business schools. One of them, B-1, began in November of 1963 and the report is dated November 1964. It was begun before the poverty program was even enacted into law.

In the facts there, you will find 21 of these young ladies were Negroes and I think 5 were whites. They all got good jobs. The training cost ran about $435 for a 24-week course. The estimated income tax they will pay will repay the cost of their training in 13 months. B-3 is another such exhibit. A 36-week program, 26 enrollees, 26 finished. Within weeks, 22 were in jobs.

Our point is this: We feel that either through amendment to section 103(b) or through legislative history in the committee report, that the Congress might give some more direction to the OEO to utilize at the local level available normal educational institutions, both public and private, that have been used for many years to carry out the Indian Adult Vocational Act, Vocational Rehabilitation Administration, the MDTA, the Economic Development Administration,
