This, we feel, will produce greater benefits to local <br /> employers who will be able to draw on a larger, more competent and <br /> productive labor force. Special efforts will focus on attracting and <br /> serving disadvantaged adults, youth 16-21, public assistance recipients, <br /> offenders, dropouts and the handicapped as target groups in dire need of <br /> program services. <br /> • <br />
