EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
************************* PREPARED BY:
Phillip L. Soto; ---
Acting Director
OIC is a national manpower training program. CET is the Spanish equivalent named
by the Southwestern region. OIC-CET is a manpower training program that is
established to train the sorioeconomicaliy disadvantaged people, including
highschool dropouts, ex -offenders, ex -addicts, welfare recipients, farm laborers
and those who have demonstrated an inability to compete for decent, full time
employment.
The OIC-CET program will train its students in two areas of training, occupational
skills training and orientation to work situations. The occupational skills
training will be in the demand skills sought in this area, and with the guidance
and assistance of the representatives of local industries on our Industrial
Advisory Board, we will train for those machines and products used in this area.
The orientation tow work situations will be taught to all students while in
training and will entail training the students those basic habits and attitudes
of punctuality, productivity and cooperation sought by local employers to gain and
maintain decent employment.
OIC-CET of San Diego County, Inc.; a non-profit corporation, is a new program and
will be locally controlled bye'community people who are interested in the upward
mobility of our county's hard core unemployed. They will provide direction to
the Executive Director and the staff in the areas of demand skills training and
the general objectives of this corporation.
The OIC-CET of San Diego County, Inc. will be modeled after the OIC-CET of
Santa Clara County, a manpower training program that was rated number one in
the nation by the Economic Development Administration, U. S. Department of
Commerce. The E. D. A. - D. 0. C. has awarded the OIC-CET of Santa Clara County
a grant to establish a non -contractual. relationship with other areas (San
Diego being one) to provide technical assistance, including management training
of the Executive Director, program development, occupational needs surveys, and
assistance in setting up the accounting and management information systems.
OIC•-CET of Santa Clara County trained and placed 1,502 students last year and
thesa previously socially disadvantaged people earned $10,590,000.00, which needless
to say was quite a boost for the local economy.
Although the manpower training program proposed for San Diego County is on a
smaller scale than the one existing in Santa Clara County, I feel it can and will
work to train the hard core unemployed of our area, to make productive citizens
of these disadvantaged people in our society. Though we only plan to train
180 students in the first year, expansion of this number will be a constant
objective.

or (714) 436-4242.
