" SEC. 321, I t is the purpose of this part to establish a variety of employment, t r a i n i n g and demonstration programs to explore methods of dealing with the structural unemployment problems of the Nation's youth. The basic purpose of the demonstration programs shall be to test the relative efficacy of different ways of dealing with these problems in different local contexts, but this basic purpose shall not preclude the funding of programs dealing with the immediate difficulties faced by youths who are in need of, and unable to find, jobs. I t is explicitly not the purpose of this part to provide make-work opportunities for unemployed y o u t h; instead, it is the purpose to provide youth, and particularly economically disadvantaged youth, with opportunities to learn and earn that will lead to meaningful employment opportunities after they have completed the program.
