- Summary:
-
The Illinois Council on Vocational Education evaluated the adequacy and effectiveness of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) in Illinois. Three categories of programs were offered: Title IIA Employment and Training Services to economically disadvantaged youth and adults and Older Individuals Programs; Title IIB Summer Youth programs; and Title III Dislocated Worker Programs. The operational structure included the federal and state governments, local service delivery areas, and dislocated worker centers. Programs were evaluated according to performance standards, performance indicators, enhancement indicators, and services provided. A survey regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of JTPA showed ratings ranging from 2.96 to 3.68 with 5 being the highest rating. Illinois used 94 percent of funds available for Title IIA and Title III programs and 90 percent of funds for Title IIB programs. Results of a review of participant characteristics and successes indicated that Illinois exceeded, met, or nearly met all established goals for populations to be served; exceeded substantially cumulative achievements related to performance standards and indicators; and tended not to meet enrollment goals of specific activities. Recommendations to improve adequacy and effectiveness were made. (7 references; 15 figures) (YLB)
