Note: A general letter from fhe
Hillsboro Opportunity Center, dated
New Year's Eve, 1965, contained
so many items of interest that we

What kind of education and job
training can welfare recipients get?
Job training fo r welfare recip
ients can’ be either on-the-job train
ing or formal schooling. On-the-job
training plans can be established in
public agencies. Welfare recipients
can gain experience by. w orking in
the public agency fo r as many
hours each month as it w ould take
them to earn their public welfare
grant at prevailing wage scales.
Plans fo r f o r m a l schooling are
worked out on an individual basis
according to the needs and apti
tudes of the recipient. Plans for
training are approved after consid
eration o f the merits o f fhe plan by
the County Welfare Department.
Certain limits o f time and costs are
established as the program is not
intended to finance college educa
tion.
