Implementation Analysis of High Growth Job Training Initiative (HGJTI) Programs

摘要

The High Growth Job Training Initiative (HGJTI) is a national grants program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (ETA). Between 2001 and 2006, more than 150 grants were awarded to establish demand-driven job training and related projects designed to meet employer-defined workforce challenges. This report is one of a series from the national evaluation of the HGJTI being conducted by the Urban Institute, the Institute for Policy Studies at Johns Hopkins University, and Capital Research Corporation. This report documents the national initiative and describes the structure and implementation of projects implemented by selected grantees. The information presented is based on reviews of grantee applications and quarterly reports submitted to ETA, and on field-based site visits to six grantees purposively selected to represent a variety of organizations, industry sectors, and geographic regions.
