Records (about 42,000 items) of manpower programs supported by the North Carolina Fund. Included are Manpower Improvement Through Community Effort (MITCE) headquarters and field staff files, documenting efforts to assist families in meeting their employment and other family needs by using resources available in Nash, Edgecombe, Richmond, Robeson, Scotland, Craven, and Guilford counties, N.C. Proposals and reports give an overview of the program's operation. There are also records of the institutional training and on-the- job-training programs. Mobility program records include proposals, reports, and correspondence concerning a program that recruited unemployed rural people in coastal and mountain counties, developed jobs for them in industrial areas, and assisted them in moving and adapting to their new job and living environments. Files on the Manpower Development Corporation (now MDC, Inc.) contain much material relating to operational studies on computer job matching, program planning and budgeting, housing, basic education, industrial training capacity, skill training, Work Oriented Retraining Centers (WORC), New Careers, transportation, and outreach techniques and supportive services in manpower programs.
