Hertil Kommer de arbejdshold, som arbejder ude i området.
But almost the opposite is true," said one of the participants.
Det drejer sig om bygningsrenovering, etablering af lokaler til fritidsformål, legepladser, pleje af naturområder, havehjælp til pensionister osv.
"The problem is, we shouldn't really produce anything, because by doing so we compete with the private sector," added another participant in conversation.
Odsherredskolen varetager endvidere en række vejlednings- og undervisningsaktiviteter, som imidlertid ikke skal tages op her.
This point was touched upon by a number of employees, who were able to give examples of tasks that "had no rational purpose" (endless cleaning up, cleaning bricks from demolition sites, moving a load of timber a few metres, etc).
Odsherredskolen modtager regelmæssigt indberetning fra de andre kommunale forvaltninger (skole- og social-) samt Arbejdsformidlingen om hvilke personer i området, der står for at skulle have et arbejds- eller uddannelsestilbud.
"It is not a qualification to have been to the Odsherred School."
Desuden annoncerer skolen i et vist omfang sine tilbud til de ledige.
We heard this on several occasions during our visit.
Det sker i den lokale presse eller ved pjecer, som fremlægges på socialforvaltningen, arbejdsformidlingen, på biblioteker og skoler, og gælder hovedsagelig kursustilbuddene.
But there were also some - mainly people with little work experience - who thought otherwise.
Skolens personaleafdeling, som bl.a. har en socialrådgiver ansat, visiterer efter en samtale med den enkelte til en placering eksternt (hos en privat arbejdsgiver eller i en kommunal institution) eller internt på en af skolens aktiviteter.
Many had started at the school with this negative prejudice, which is no doubt associated with the poor reputation the Odsherred School earned among the local population during its initial and expanding years. More-
Antallet af personer, som har krav på et tilbud, er i fortsat vækst.
If he says that he is employed at the Odsherred School, this is the same as saying he is one of the longterm unemployed.
I 1983 visiteredes 946 personer, hvilket svarer til ca. 500 helårspladser i ekstraordinær beskæftigelse.
The negative comments on the school are based on several circumstances that the Executive Committee believe to be connected very largely with the past.
Alligevel går knap 2.000 personer ledige i området.
One of these is the problem already referred to of excessive drink ing among some of the participants.
En fjerdedel af disse er unge under 25 år.
This became the subject of gossip, such as that "the school is a collecting point for alcoholics and others...
Ved at samle alle kommunale aktiviteter for arbejdsledige under én fælles administration er der skabt mulighed for en hensigtsmæssig visitation af de arbejdsløse, således at den enkelte får et relevant tilbud om vejledning, uddannelse eller beskæftigel se.
The fact that most of the school's activities are concentrated in one location makes it one of the area's largest workplaces, and it therefore can not avoid becoming a focus of attention.
Der er endvidere mulighed for en relativt smidig tilpasning af aktivitetstilbuddene til de aktuelle behov.
This is not least because it has expanded during a period in which many of the area's private firms have had to close down.
Den omstændighed, at tre kommuner er gået sammen, medvirker til at skabe den fornødne bredde i tilbuddene.
According to the Executive Committee, many local craftsmen see the school as a competitor which pays better wages than they themselves can get.
Da Odsherredskolen står for hele den ekstraordinære kommunale beskæftigelsesaktivitet, er deltagermassen tilsvarende alsidigt sammensat.
This is acknowledged to be a real problem, which can not, however, be resolved by the local authorities.
Der er således både fuldt arbejdsduelige personer, som uden varsel ville kunne indplaceres i akkordproduktion på en virksomhed, der måtte efterspørge deres arbejdskraft, og personer, hvis tjenlighed på arbejdsmarkedet er ringe.
Moreover, the school is thought to be dominated by "the Reds" (that is, leftists), which is pro bably associated with the criticism advanced particularly by small inde pendent firms in the area, that the Odsherred School "steals work from local men".
Det kan skyldes, at man næsten ingen arbejdserfaring har, eller at er faringerne ikke længere har relevans.
To this the Executive Committee replies that the criticism is unfounded.
Således har mekaniseringen af den gartneriprægede landbrugsproduktion, som har haft stor beskæftigelsesmæssig betydning i dette område, frisat en del (ældre) arbejdskraft, som ikke vil kunne vende tilbage til landbruget.
The restoration of buildings carried out by the school in the municipalities, which had attracted the greatest attention in this context, would not have been carried out at all if the usual craftsmen had had to be hired for the work.
Den begrænsede anvendelighed kan endvidere hænge sammen med en for ringe uddannelsesmæssig baggrund, familiemæssige eller sociale problemer.
In the opinion of the Executive Committee, therefore, the opposite is true, since the school creates more employment in the locality.
Nogle af deltagerne har eksempel vis et alkoholproblem.
In this connection, the unhappy fact is pointed out that the production of camping huts referred to earlier could not be placed in the area.
Det er af stor betydning for den enkeltes udbytte af opholdet på skolen, hvordan den gruppe man kommer til at arbejde sammen med, er sammensat.
"Criticism is now considerably less than it was a few years ago. At that time, things were going badly," said the Chairman of the Executive Commit tee.
Er de ressourcestærke personer i overtal, kan de få en gavnlig indflydelse på de svage i gruppen.
Many arrive full of the scepticism that was justified a few years ago. But by the time they leave they look upon the school in quite a different light.
Omvendt kan tilstedeværelsen af for mange ressourcesvage personer i et sjak gøre dette "usundt" hvorved en enkelt persons alkoholpro-

Skolen har oplevet nogle problemer af denne type, hvis afledte effekt har været et dårligt ry i dele af lokalbefolkningen.
It could have been the camping huts, but we also have achieve something. other ideas."
Visitationen sigter nu imod at undgå fremkomsten af "usunde" sjak og i stedet få etableret grupper, hvor de stærke kan være med til at højne standarden hos de svagere.
Longterm unemployment usually has a severe effect upon a person's every day life.
Det indebærer bl.a. en aldersmæssig blanding af deltagerne.
Weekdays become blurred; less is achieved than might be expected with so much free time.
Ved visitationen tages endvidere hensyn til ønsket om at udnytte den enkeltes faglige uddannelse, hvis man har en sådan.
If other people among one's acquain tances are in work, a feeling of isolation arises.
Dette får bla. lønmæssige konsekvenser, idet aflønningen følger landsoverenskomsten mellem Kommunernes Landsforening og pågældende fagforbund.
One shuts oneself off; possibly one seeks out people in the same position. Social collapse gradually sets in.
Faglærte arbejdere, som på Odsherredskolen beskæftiges inden for deres fag, får således højere løn end ufaglærte på sko len .
Against this background, it is very understandable that many of those we spoke to found it inspiring to break the vicious circle and to get out among other people.
Set i forhold til det lokale arbejdsmarked er det dog et større problem, at det lokale lønniveau hos private arbejdsgivere lig ger lavere end niveauet i den landsdækkende overenskomst med KL.
"Now I have something to get up for" is a remark often heard when the conversation turns to the significance of this offer of employment to the individual's private life.
Såvel lønmodtager- som arbejdsgiverrepræsentanten, vi talte med, betonede dette problem, men var som ventet ikke enige om hvordan det skulle løses.
But there were also some who could in no way associate themselves with this attitude.
Som noget nyt er man endelig i en introduktionsfase begyndt at lade deltagerne prøve flere forskellige værkstedsaktiviteter, før de mere permanent placeres et sted.
They have never had difficulty in passing the day. "There is so much to do at home in the house and in the garden.
Formålet er at give del tagerne en bedre baggrund for deres placeringsønske.
In fact, I don't really have time to go out to work," one said.
Samtidig opnår skolen, at det bliver mindre iøjnefaldende, hvis man af hensyn til arbejdsklimaet bliver nødt til at omplacere en nyankommen. kommen.
Some women who had been housewives for many years but now, because of divorce for example, had to try to get into the labour market did not hesitate to say that they would prefer to stay at home if only they could have a monthly cheque for the amount they earn.
Deltagerne på Odsherredskolen er som nævnt en blandet skare.
Like the school's management, he described co-operation as good.
Der er mange langtidsledige over 25 år, især på værkstederne som her
On the employer side, there is no corresponding umbrella organization.
40 vies den atørste interesse.
40 sector?
De yngre er i vidt omfang placeret andre steder, fx på EIFU-kursus eller ude i de kommunale institutioner .
This view is, of course, widespread among employers.
Ved besøget på skolen talte vi med 24 personer, som var beskæf tiget på træværkstedet (4 personer), systuen (6 personer), tegnestuen (4 personer) og på udepladserne (5 personer). Der var 14 mænd og 10 kvinder.
Or are the municipalities (perhaps in recognition of the fact that the road to the objective, ie more jobs, is long if it is to be reached via private industry, which has not been informed about and motivated to make use of the opportunities under the Act) to achieve their targets more directly by joining in projects with a productive content?
Aldersmæssigt vat der tale om en betyde lig spredning, idet den yngste var 18 år og den ældste 61 år. I alt 5 personer var under 25 år, og 7 var over 40 år.
The Odsherred School has adopted an offensive position which mainly follows the latter point of view.
Den skolemæssige baggrund var for næsten alle deltagerne den kortest mulige, dvs. afhængig af alder og undervisningspligtens længde på det pågældende tidspunkt var man gået ud efter 7.-10. klasse.
The representative of the employers stressed that there were a number of empty factories with unused machinery around the area.
En tredjedel havde en erhvervsuddannelse, normalt en lærlingeuddannelse, enkelte med en teknisk overbygning (fx bygningskonstruktør) .
He considered that more emphasis should be given to utilization of these idle production facilities instead of centralizing production as at present.
Desuden havde nogle af de øvrige gennemgået visse kurser, således at de kunne benævnes "tillærte". Men de fleste var regulært ufaglærte.
Following an assessment, the Odsherred School should use some of its resources to go in with firms in difficulties and help them to get back on to their feet.
I øvrigt havde næsten alle tidligere været i erhvervsmæssig beskæftigelse.
The chairman of the trade-union organization also pointed out that the primary objective was to preserve existing jobs and to create new ones.
Forud for starten på Odsherredskolen havde de fleste en ledig hedsperiode på 1-2% år.
This attitude was also referred to by the Chairman of the Executive Com mittee.
Den familiemæssige situation var sådan, at 13 var samlevende, mens 11 boede alene. 13 havde (hjemmeboende) børn, mens 11 ikke havde del.
The small craft businesses which play an important part in this agricultural area will frequently consider employing more people only if there is reasonable prospect of more permanent jobs.
Der var to enlige forsørgere.
A temporary increase in orders is preferably coped with by working overtime.
10 af deltagerne modtog før starten på skolen arbejdsløshedsdagpenge, mens 9 var på bi standshjælp.
The employers' representative considered that the school could perhaps help by coordinating assistance to several independent firms (within the same in dustry), who might jointly employ one person under the Job Creation Act.
Alt i alt tegner der sig et billede af en gruppe med sparsom skole- og erhvervsuddannelse, med en forholdsvis langvarig le dighed og deraf følgende skrabet familieøkonomi.
The Odsherred School is a joint municipal service administering three municipalities' special measures to combat unemployment.
Disse forhold er ganske karakteristiske for deltagere i skolens beskæftigel sesforanstaltninger .
The partnership has made it possible to increase flexibility in providing opportunities for the unemployed.
I følge Odsherredskolens ledelse er det primære formål med del tagelsen i en af skolens beskæftigelsesaktiviteter, at de ledige bevarer/opnår retten til arbejdsløshedsdagpenge.
These opportunities appear to have been exploited to a high degree by establishing one dynamic en vironment.
I sig selv opleves dette formål af de fleste som noget positivt, fordi det holder dem på afstand af den lavere bistandshjælp. Denne opfattes af de personer, vi talte med, som en trussel imod hele deres hidtidige livsførelse, der bl.a. er baseret på indkomster af en vis størrelse.
In a period of considerable expansion, this dynamism appears to have resulted in a number of problems which gave the school a bad re putation among the local population, and perhaps particularly among local trade and industry.
En af deltagerne fortalte således, at hun og hen des forlovede, da de begge kom på bistandshjælp, måtte fraflytte deres fælles bolig og i stedet flytte hjem til deres respektive forældre.
The reorganization, which has brought the school's management (including the full-time staff) into better accord with the duties assigned to the school, appears to be developing well.
Som nævnt var en del af de personer, vi talte med, på bistandshjælp (nogle endda på "sultecirkulæref's niveau), før de blev ansat på skolen.
The level of ambition among the unemployed is moderate (but realistici).
For dem er der tale om en klar indtægtsmæssig fremgang på over 1.000 kr. om måneden.
The target is to preserve the right of the unemployed to unemployment benefits so that they are kept away from the lower and more humiliating level of social assistance.
For enkelte helt op til 5.000 kr. I denne forbindelse skal der dog også peges på øgede udgifter til transport samt til fagforening og A-kasse.
It should be noted that, by exercising this policy, the municipalities also serve their own interests.
Men en indkomstmæssig fremgang er der under alle omstændigheder tale om,
Unemployment benefit is financed by the State (in the majority of cases), whereas social assistance is paid for both by the municipalities and by the State (half each).
For dem, der modtog arbejdsløshedsdagpenge, er den økonomiske gevinst mere beskeden, især hvis der tages hensyn til evt. for øgede transportudgifter.
In this field, the Odsherred School offers both instruction in the form of continuation school courses (16 weeks) and guidance (courses of 68 weeks).
Enkelte af dem, vi talte med, mente ikke at have fået forbedret den økonomiske situation ved ansættelsen, idet transportudgifterne samtidig var øget.
These activities, which as we have said are not evaluated in detail here, are the beginning of measures basically seeking to deal with the employment problems of young people.
Dette forhold er i øvrigt kilde til nogen misfornøjelse blandt en del af de beskæftigede, som har vanskeligt ved at forstå, hvorfor nogle arbejdsløse skal ansættes til højere løn end de selv får.
The future prospect for young people therefore appears to be continued existence at the unemployment benefit level - until economic recovery occurs.
"Under alle omstændigheder har aflønningen jo intet at gøre med, hvad den enkelte producerer".
The Odsherred School has little to offer these (young) people, apart from rudimentary preservation of their working capacity and financial status.
Denne kategori var der som nævnt ikke så mange af.
4.2.1 Background and origin
De fleste havde prøvet erhvervsmæssig beskæftigelse før, men måske under atypiske forhold (beskæftigelsesprojekter, ung pige i huset osv.). Nogle af de yngre gav udtryk for tilfreds hed med den aldersmæssige blanding på værkstederne.
In conversation with business men in his municipality, the Mayor of the Municipality of Ballerup in Copenhagen had gained an impression of wide spread dissatisfaction with the local Employment Services' method of pro curing labour.
Man lærer noget ved at omgås lidt ældre folk, og præget af ungdomsghetto (som nogle mente, de fleste beskæftigelsesprojekter har) reduceres .
One criticism was that it took too long for the labour to be allocated, and that moreover the person concerned seldom had the correct qualifications.
På træ- og metalværkstederne traf vi nogle, som her beskæftigede sig med maskiner og materialer, de ikke tidligere havde arbejdet med. Det gav dem ny viden og positive erfaringer.
At the same time, it is important that the municipality should preserve places of employment in the municipality which provide jobs for its own citizens.
De så nu, at opgaver, de aldrig før ville have turdet give sig i kast med, var overkommelige - også for dem.
The Mayor had observed that small firms in particular were annoyed by the bureaucratic and tardy procedures which accompanied the necessary contacts with various public authorities.
En del af den erhvervede viden mente de også sidenhen at kunne udnytte, fx ved reparationer i hj emmet.
Their impression was that in certain circumstances the authorities were clearly co-operating to prevent some business men from taking initiatives, which implied extensive communication with the public authorities.
Spørgsmålet om de på Odsherredskolen tilegnede sig realistiske billeder af produktionsgangen ude i erhvervslivet, blev besvaret noget forskelligt.
Finally, the Ballerup Municipality had a natural interest in helping as many of its young people as possible to find employment (or training).
Generelt synes de mest positive svar at kom me fra personer med få erhvervserfaringer, hvorimod især nogle faglærte med adskillige års fast beskæftigelse i den private sektor udtalte sig præcist og negativt om dette emne.
Like other municipalities, its Employment Secretariat was working to re solve this matter, but it had found that the private sector was very re luctant to assist in this work.
"Hvis gevindet på en bolt er defekt, er jeg vant til at kassere bolten og tage en ny.
Against this background, the Ballerup Municipality decided in I982 to ap point a business liaison officer.
Men her på skolen har vi masser af tid og næsten ingen materialer.
4.2.2 The liaison officer's duties
Derfor er det i orden, at jeg bruger en time på at udbedre gevindet. Tingene bliver vendt på hovedet her på sko len.
From an organizational point of view, the business liaison officer forms part of the Employment Secretariat.
Det, du lærer her, kan du ikke bruge til noget." Tråden blev taget op af andre, der efterlyste en mere realistisk produktionsproces.
But whereas other staff in the Secretariat carry out duties which are set out, at least in part, in the legis lation and therefore mandatory upon the municipality, this is in no way true of the business liaison officer.
"Det ville være godt, hvis man i løbet at de 7 måneder blev kørt op til et normalt arbejdstempo.
As a result, he has a very inde pendent position within the Secretariat.
Men det går nærmest om vendt", sagde en af deltagerne. "Problemet er, at vi helst ikke skal producere noget, for så udkonkurrerer vi de private mestre",
He can contact the proper per son in the administration, directly without having to consider the estab lished chain of command, and he has been able to mould his job in such a way that it is adapted to the primary task he has been asked to perform.
"Derfor kommer arbejdet her aldrig til at ligne det, der foregår ude på en normal ar bejdsplads. "
The primary task of the business liaison officer, Ulrik Riis, is to seek out vacant jobs for the various categories of longterm unemployed for whom the municipality is trying to find temporary employment.
Dette tema blev berørt af en del ansatte, som kunne give eksempler på arbejdsopgaver, der "intet fornuftigt formål havde" (rengøring i en uendelighed, rensning af mursten fra nedrivninger, flytning nogle få meter af et læs brædder osv.).
This objective has now been extended by further tasks, so that it may now be said that his duty is also to maintain general contact between the private sector in the municipality and the latter itself.
Samtidig skal det dog noteres, at en del af de personer, vi talte med, anså deres arbejde for meningsfuldt.
It is of interest in this connection that Ulrik Riis, whom the municipality has engaged to look after its interests relative to the private sector, is considered by it as "the private sector's man at the Town Hall".
Denne holdning kom særlig klart frem blandt de ansatte på tegnestuen.
In other words, the business liaison officer acts as a bridge-builder between two traditionally separate (or indeed hostile) sections of society: the private sector and the public sector.
"Det er ikke nogen kvalifikation at have været på Odsherredskolen".
The fact that the "bridgebuilding" appears to be successful in this case is doubtless because of Ulrik Riis's particular background.
Det hænger givetvis sammen med det dårlige rygte, Odsherredsolen i sine første, meget ekspansive år, havde fået i lokalbefolkningen.
The business liaison officer, who is aged 50, has a background of a long career within the private sector, in which he finally occupied the position of Assistant Director in a large commercial firm.
Desuden at man i almindelighed står bedre som ansøger til et job, hvis man i forvejen har beskæftigelse.
However, he lost his job as a result of staff reductions, and was then unemployed for some time until he came to the notice of the Ballerup Municipality pis a candidate for the planned business liaison officer post.
At sige man er beskæftiget på Odsherredskolen er det samme som at oplyse, at man er langtidsledig.
At first, he held the job under the conditions applicable to the longterm unemployed.
Den negative omtale af skolen grunder sig i flere forhold, som forretningsudvalget dog mener i det væsentligste hører fortiden til.
Because of his business background, Ulrik Riis knows a firm from the in side, ie how the problem looks from the management's desk.
Et af disse er det førnævnte problem med et for stort alkoholforbrug blandt nogle af deltagerne, hvilket i folkemunde blev til, at "skolen er opsamlingssted for alkoholikere og andre ..."
He speaks the language of management, and he knows what is important to the decision maker.
Den omstændighed at de fleste af skolens aktiviteter er koncentreret på ét sted, betyder at man her har en af områdets største ar bejdspladser, som derfor må være i søgelyset.
In his thought processes also, he is probably more committed to the private sector than the average municipal employee.
Dette gælder ikke mindst, fordi den er ekspanderet i en periode, hvor mange af om rådets private virksomheder har måttet dreje nøglen om.
It is easier for him to see the municipality's activities in this field as a service to the business community (a service which is certainly also to the advantage of the longterm unemployed in the municipality).
I følge forretningsudvalget opfatter mange lokale håndværkere skolen som en konkurrent, der aflønner bedre end de selv kan gøre.
The procurement of jobs is undertaken by active searching among the firms in the area.
Det te forhold erkendes som et reelt problem, der dog ikke lader sig
