Abstract	The Garment Industry Development Corporation (GIDC) was founded in 1984 by a 3-member partnership that included the local union, industry associations, and local government. GIDC's goal was to support New York City's garment industry, which had been steadily losing jobs. GIDC exhibits the following characteristics of sectoral initiatives: it targets a particular occupation or set of occupations within an industry; it intervenes in becoming a valued actor with the industry employing the targeted occupation; it exists for the primary purpose of assisting low-income people to obtain decent employment; and it eventually creates systemic change with the targeted occupation's labor market. GIDC's main areas of activity are as follows: (1) training (the Super Sewers program and apparel skills training courses); (2) technical assistance (provided through its Technology Training Extension Service); and (3) marketing (through its Fashion Exports New York program and sourcing center). GIDC offers displaced, unemployed, and incumbent workers training in sewing skills, English language skills, and health and safety. Of the 113 individuals who participated in GIDC's training programs in fiscal year 1997-1998, 105 (93%) graduated and 70 (67%) were placed in jobs in the garment industry. GIDC's Super Sewers program and apparel skills courses operated at a cost per graduate of $3,216.98 and $601.43 per graduate, respectively. (MN)
