This report of a hearing before the House Subcommittee on Employment concerns the implementation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). Witnesses addressed concerns about the program's allegedly unspent funds and the proposed funding cuts. Testimony was heard from William E. Brock, Secretary of Labor, and Raymond Flynn, Mayor of Boston, Massachusetts, among others. Secretary Brock addressed the issue of JTPA funding allocated to the states, the proposed budget for fiscal year 1986, State and Federal coordination of the program, implementation of civil rights compliance mechanisms, recordkeeping requirements of the program, and achievements in targeting service groups. Mayor Flynn's statement addressed the successes of the program and spoke for the maintenance of funding, particularly in relationship to the needs of urban areas. Gary Orfield, from the University of Chicago, summarized the findings of a study about JTPA in Illinois, which found that there has been an enormous shrinkage of training resources throughout the state and that there were serious problems of equal opportunity at every level of the training system. Other testimony addressed the issues of the Federal role in the program, expenditure constraints and reports, and the general effectiveness of the program. Included are extensive supporting documents. (CG)
