Bell Atlantic is spreading the word about Ten-number Number dialing and the new area codes in a number of ways. The company is running advertising, and information on the dialing change and new area codes has appeared in Extra, a newsletter included in customers' Bell Atlantic phone bills. Employees are meeting with civic and senior citizen organizations, and the company has distributed hundreds of thousands of Ten-number Number coloring books to make children aware of the dialing change.

This is the first time that a company the size of Bell Atlantic has entered into a national agreement for a partnership with the "Workforce Development System" -- a federally funded program supporting local and state job placement programs. For the past 17 years, the system has been operating under the terms of the "Job Training Partnership Act." Last year, the President and Congress agreed on a sweeping reform of that system called the "Workforce Investment Act." The purpose of this reform was to help match potential workers with private sector jobs.
