ABSTRACT: The Job Training Partnership Act is intended to
establish programs to prepare youth and unskilled adults for
entry into the labor force and to afford job training to
those economically disadvantaged individuals who are in
special need of such training to obtain productive
employment. The act is organized into five titles. Title I
prescribes the job training partnership, including the
service delivery system (such as private industry councils
and job training plans), state responsibilities, program
requirements, and federal and fiscal administrative
provisions. Title II contains provisions for training
services for the disadvantaged, including adult and youth
programs and summer youth employment and training programs.
Title III explains employment and training assistance for
dislocated workers, including allocation of funds,
identification of dislocated workers, and state plans, while
Title IV describes federally administered programs. These
programs include employment and training projects for Native
Americans and migrants, the Job Corps, veterans employment
programs, national activities such as pilot projects, labor
market information, the National Commission for Employment
Policy, and training to fulfill affirmative action
obligations. The final title contains miscellaneous
provisions concerning the Wagner-Peyser Act, Social Security
Act, and Military Selective Service Act. (KC)
