Job Training Partnership Act: Initial Implementation of Program for Disadvantaged Youth and Adults

摘要

The Job Training Partnership Act replaced the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act as the nation's primary federally funded employment and training program on October 1, 1983. This program is administered by the Department of Labor and provides training to unskilled and economically disadvantaged individuals who need training to obtain employment. Because of the newness of the program, GAO obtained baseline data describing the state and local apparatus for implementing the largest of the several programs authorized by the act--the title II-A program for disadvantaged youth and adults. This report provides an overview of the Job Training Partnership Act program and information on how it was being organized and implemented at the state and local level between October 1982 and February 1984.
