Description of the Book:

This document reports the oral and written testimony of witnesses at a Congressional hearing held to examine H.R. 3266, the Workforce 2000 Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Amendments of 1989. The bill is aimed at reforming JTPA targeting and training efforts. It focuses on critical support services and targeting issues and includes provisions to preserve funding and services for older worker training, to provide linkages between JTPA and Older Americans’ Act programs, to provide child care services for JTPA trainees, to provide standard government accountability in the JTPA program, to develop critical labor shortage and wage data for a training base, to reform the Indian JTPA training program, and to update the Migrant Farmworker Program administration. Witnesses included representatives of education and training contractors, of Indian training coalitions, Congresspersons and Senators, and day care programs, state employment programs, and older workers, among others. Witnesses testified how JTPA is now working and what changes proposed by H.R.

3266 would affect them; they suggested other changes that should be made and reported how their constituents viewed the proposals. (KC
