Clair fanning, CPM (Certified Property Manager), St. Petersburg, Fla., inspired him to urge others to sponsor similar training. on Writing Management Training Programs for the Hard-Cor- e Unemployed in the current issue of the Journal of Property Management, he described the training program initiated by Ms - firm Real Estate Management in cooperation with the Company JOBS Program of the National Alliance of Businessmen. Training contracts were subsidised by the Department of Labor. The Journal is published bimuithly by the Institute of Real Estate Management, a professional affiliate of the National Association of Real Estate Boards. Four separate training programs were set up, Realtor Lanning related. The maintenance program, lasting seven months, takes the trainee through all phases of work needed in the residential apartment building, including elementary plumbing and electrical maintenance. Other programs teach trainees to become general office employees and residence managers. A fourth program enables graduates to advance to added wwmimhhii io that a resident manager can become a building supervisor having several buildings under his jurisdiction. Success stories are impressive. One woman, prior to entering the program, was a motel housekeeper. Today, after completing all phases of the training, she manages three offices and sits on the executive committee of the authors firm, he said. In recruiting for our training program, one of the first problems we found was that our normal employee application form was absolutely worthless, Realtor Lanning explained. "Too many people had police or prison records, too many needed assistance in filling out the forms because they coukkit read or write. We felt the latter could pose many problems if a load of janitorial supplies was sent to a building, the employee would be unable to tell, few example, whether the invoice was for nine brooms or three brooms. Therefore, it was necessary for our federal government contract to start with an education program. We were able to make an agreement with our local school system to teach reading and writing in our employee training program, and those needing this training spent approximately 10 hours per week learning to read and write. We also find that many of the people in our training program need constant motivation In order to fulfill their training requirements; therefore, our contract called for a psychologist and-o- r social worker to assist them. The social worker was able to reach and communicate! more quickly, for we found that although we could talk and talk and talk, we got little results because someone was talking at them and not with them. Approximately 25 per cent of those entering the program complete it, Realtor Lanning said. This is considered a high figure for hard core unemployables.
