Abstract

Employers responding to this survey in Portland tended to be receptive to the concept of vouchering on-the-job training for welfare recipients, and to believe that WIN clients were capable of making informed occupational and employment setting choices. With regard to client autonomy in the search for an OJT placement, employers seemed to prefer some sort of WIN screening in advance of their contact with the voucher OJT client. The largest firms, as a group, were the least receptive to hiring voucher OJT clients, whereas the smallest firms were the most receptive. Findings are interpreted with respect to their implications for the design and implementation of manpower training programs for welfare recipients.
