1. Can work alter welfare recipients' beliefs?

Subjects

Abstract

The benefits of bringing welfare recipients into the labor markets cannot be denied. The factors that can influence welfare recipients to start working are analyzed. One of the reasons the welfare recipients do not take up a job is lack of skill or pessimism related to their abilities. It is possible to bring these people into mainstream by on-the-job training. However, certain level of caution is required in this approach as over optimistic welfare recipients may fail in their jobs causing more pessimism. In this scenario, the effect of work on beliefs of welfare recipients is analyzed.

7. 'Welfare-to-Work': An Analysis of the Communication Competencies Taught in a Job Training Program Serving an Urban Poverty Area

Subjects

Abstract

Politicians and state-level welfare administrators touting new 'welfare-to-work' programs apparently believe that the acquisition of communication skills is an antidote to welfare dependence. Regrettably, communication scholars have largely excluded themselves from discussions about the content, form, and ethical implications of the training provided in these programs. This essay reports partial results of a year-long study of a job training program serving mostly indigent clients. The communication competencies taught explicitly and implicitly in the curriculum and the unmet communication needs of clients were the focus of investigation. The study found that of the twenty K-12 communication standards distributed by the National Communication Association (1998), 18 were incorporated in the curriculum. Fundamental elements of the communication process (e.g., feedback), listening skills, and interview competencies were most emphasized. Media literacy skills were least emphasized. Interviews with clients revealed a number of unmet communication needs. These included (1) development of post-employment social support skills and networks, (2) conflict management training, (3) on-the-job communication competencies, and (4) development of realistic employment expectations. Communication educators are urged to contribute to the development of job training curricula and invited to critique the ideological assumptions embedded in them. Keywords: communication competence, communication skill, welfare, job training
