Follow-up',Study <br /> March, 1978 <br /> Page 6 <br /> Because this find-rate of 21% is so low; we will be making <br /> further efforts to find those who did not respond to our <br /> Inquiries!! <br /> Classro_omlTrainin <br /> The employment rate for the entire classroom training group <br /> was 65%. The difference in rates between the two counties <br /> is more nmticeable than in other programs: Durham County <br /> showed a 69% employment rate (59 of 86) while Orange County <br /> showed a y2% rate (11 of 21). <br /> While in the previous follow-up two-thirds of this group <br /> had been in Practical Nurse Training, this time we found <br /> that only 30 of the responding 107 persons had been in <br /> LPN training. Of those 30, 24 (80%) were employed, a better <br /> employment i rate than for the classroom group as a whole. <br /> The curriculum represented by the next largest group was <br /> General Office Technology with 19 respondents. Of these, <br /> 11 (58%) were employed, 6 were unemployed, and 2 were not <br /> In the labor force. <br /> I <br /> The third largest group was of former Business Data Pro- <br /> cessing students. Seventeen of these persons wereJound, <br /> and of those, 6 (35%) were working, 5 were unemployed and <br /> 4 were no�, in the labor force. <br /> Of the persons in the classroom training group who had <br /> been recer,ving AFDC at the time of application, 52% (28 of 54) <br /> were employed at the time of follow-up, which compares favor- <br /> ably to the M figure found in the previous study. This <br /> time, howIver, 44% (24 of 54) were still receiving AFDC <br /> at the time of follow-up, whereas the previous follow-up <br /> found 31% (5 of 16). <br />
