STIP (Skill Training Improvement Program) I. CETA and the Private Sector. Implementation Experiences of Selected Projects

摘要

The report reviews operational experience for 15 local programs in the Skill Training Improvement Program (STIP) funded in 1977-78 under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) to stimulate high-skilled, relatively long-term training for disadvantaged workers with special involvement of private employers. The report analyzes, on a cross-site basis, how the projects were structured and their occupations selected; the nature and reasons for changes from initial plans; problems and procedures in recruitment and selection of eligible disadvantaged participants; and benefits, challenges, and problems resulting from the STIP experience.
