SUMMARY

The purpose of this project was to determine if a training programme created specifically for unemployed Native Americans could significantly increase job knowledge levels and improve the graduates’ ability to find, get and maintain a job. The training programme was designed to combine interpersonal and employment‐related skills necessary to finding, retaining, and keeping a job. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was performed using the Statistical Analysis System. Formal evaluations included comparisons of participant entrance and exit questionnaires, trainer comments, OSU team observations, coalition observations, and pre/post‐test results on curriculum information. The curriculum shows significant improvement from preto post‐test. Evan more encouraging that the computer generated numbers were the changes in self‐esteem and overall job attitude levels measured through entrance and exit questionnaires.
