Results

No duplication of effort between PEP and PSC. PSC is directed at development of permanent entry level positions in county government, modification of Merit System rules which are inhibiting, and the elimination of job barriers. PEP program is directed to providing only transitional employ

ment.

Explanations

VSD report and Public Health Nursing Report are in the process of being implemented. Social Services Report and Mental Health Report will be implemented also.

Because of decline of economic activities and county revenues, only about 100 community workers will be employed by the end of the contract period. Estimate is that the objective of upgrading 100 people will be met.

Test validation has been introduced as a principal activity.

Results

No anticipated changes affecting
administration.

This is a synthesis of several noted methods. PSC is willing to share this methodology with other manpower agencies.

The County PSC Program is currently the only agency in the County actively conducting task analysis and reviewing Merit System procedures for eliminations that may bias employment of community people. The PSC staff suggests that local jurisdictions assume similar responsibilities and develop in-agency linkages to share common experiences.
