Job Development and Placement for the Economically Disadvantaged in the Private Sector

The work conducted for this report was aimed at providing a broader perspective on the demonstration project undertaken by RTP, Inc. and the Arizona Department of Economic Security in Phoenix begun in April 1980. This project was designed to test the feasibility of a cooperative arrangement between a community-based organization (Recruitment and Training Program or RTP, Inc.) and a state job service (Arizona Department of Economic Security). The aim of this cooperative endeavor was to improve efforts to place minorities into managerial, professional and technical jobs.
