- Summary:
-
Provisions of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and differences between it and previous manpower training acts present questions for potential training institutions. Suggested ways of dealing with these questions are discussed. The first question concerns steps to become a contractor of training programs under JTPA. These include (1) identifying the school's service delivery area (SDA) staff office, (2) calling that office and determining procedures for adding one's school to the "bidders list," and (3) obtaining sample requests for proposals and completion guidelines. The second question addresses advantages and disadvantages of government contract training under JTPA from the school operator's perspective. Two major advantages are that these programs provide a broader mix or variety of sources for student tuition and they serve to offset overhead costs. Disadvantages include unpredictability of periods between awarding of contracts and tendency to establish unrealistic or unattainable goals. The third question concerns strategies schools can follow to contract successful training programs under JTPA, including thorough familiarity with SDA guidelines and goals concerning target career areas, development of a rapport with SDA staff, submission of a bid for services the school can successfully provide, avoidance of situations that put the operation in a "peak and valley" pattern, and inclusion in the bid of full direct costs with a reasonable overhead offset.
