Title of Proposal: The Survey of Community Development Work Study
Program participants.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use: The
information is being collected to evaluate the Office of University
Partnership's Community Development Work Study Program (CDWSP). The
objective of this research is to examine the CDWSP's relative
attainment of its goals to expand educational and employment
opportunities for the economically disadvantaged and minority students.
Students who have participated in the CDWSP from 1987-1995 will be
surveyed to obtain information on their educational access, skills-
building, job experience, and career attainment. This information will
assist the Department in evaluating and administrating the CDWSP.
Members of affected public: A sample of 750 students who have
participated in the CDWSP from 1987-1995 will be surveyed.
Estimation of the total number of hours needed to prepare the
information collection including number of respondents, frequency of
response, and hours of response: Information will be collected by a
one-time mail questionnaire with 750 CDWSP participants. These mail
questionnaires will take an average of twenty-five minutes to complete.
This means a total of approximately 313 hours of response for the
information collection. If necessary, one-time telephone interviews may
be conducted utilizing the mail questionnaire instrument to achieve an
adequate response rate.
Status of the proposed information collection: Pending OMB
approval.
