Local OIC Director Calls
For Unity
Nathaniel Jackson,
Executive Director of
Augusta/Opportunities
Industrialization Center (OIC)
explained the history and
philosophy of OIC to the
CSRA Economic Opportunity
Authority and urged
Augusta-Richmond County
anti-poverty agencies to unite
in helping one another and not
to forget the people whom
they serve.
As a guest speaker at the
monthly meeting of
CSRA/EOA, Inc., Jackson said,
nationally, the OIC is over ten
years, old. In Augusta since
1971, he said. “We’re a very
young agency here. In those
few years and on a very small
budget, AOIC has offered
unemployed and
underemployed poor people
enlarged career opportunities
through education, training,
counseling and referral
services.”
As a developing program.
OIC earlier began in
Philadelphia in 1964 to secure
employment for minorities.
After learning that people were
losing jobs in which they were

placed, OIC developed an
attitude and training schedule,
the guest speaker told some
100 department heads and
general staff.
“One thing we strive for is
‘the whole person’ concept. We
try to develop the attitude of
the student while he is in class.
If an individual has a mature,
good attitude, he can be
trained. The attitude of the
trainee is very important,” he
said.
Jackson said that, despite a
limited budget, AOIC turns out
above the quota of graduates
and trainees.
Between the two OlCs in the
state - Atlanta and Augusta -
Jackson said the
Augusta-Rich mo nd County
agencies were more closely
united and worked better with
one another.
“In Atlanta,” he said,
“everybody is competitive (for
clients), but if we coordinate
our efforts we can get anything
we want. If we go together we
represent power-especially to
the government. But we should
not be competitive and say
