Cooperative Education
Program for Black
College students
At a time when many coollege students cannot
afford the increasing costs of higher education, the
Cooperative Education Program provides a solution.
Since January 1981, the U.S. Department of La­
bor's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has parti­
cipated in the program, helping black and other col­
lege students gain pay and valuable work experience.
This year 10 black students have been hired
nationwide by the OIG's Office of Audit to partici­
pate in the Cooperative Education Program.
The students participating in the program were re­
cruited from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff
(one of the historically black universities), the Uni­
versity of Denver, the University of Puerto Rico,
Texas Women's University and the University of
Colorado.
Since the Labor Department began participating in
the program, it has hired a total of 27 accounting,
business and computer science majors.
Some of the duties performed by the students
included analyzing contracts under audit, scheduling
spreadsheets to show monthly costs at various audit
sites, assisting in Job Training Partnership Act
(JTPA) audits, writing COBOL programs for audit
of JTPA programs and inputting data from audit
sites into the mini computer.
Upon graduation, if the students choose perma­
nent accounting and computer positions, their job
experience will signigicantly reduce training time and
costs, which will enable them to assume other duties
and responsibilities much more quickly.
The OIG's Office of Audit performs audits of the
department's programs and operations and informs
the secretary of Labor and Congress of the results.
