TITLE: Review of JTPA Participant Characteristics and
Program Outcomes for Program Years 1984 through 1989. JTQS
Special Paper No. 10.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1991
NOTE: 141 p.
ABSTRACT: This publication presents summary data on
participants in programs operated under Title IIA or Title
III of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) during the
first 6 complete program years of their operation. Data are
from the Job Training Quarterly Survey. The data describe
socioeconomic characteristics of the terminees, some
information on public benefits received at program entry,
and brief work histories. Other data detail length of stay
in the program, activities/services received while in the
program, and reasons for termination. For those terminees
placed in employment, wages and hours are available. A
brief narrative section describes a number of the more
noteworthy trends: a gradual increase in the proportion of
females over the 6-year period; a longer length of stay in
Title IIA programs; proportionally more Title IIA youth
under age 19; and fewer high school graduates entering
Title IIA programs. Part 2 contains tables 1-83 and covers
Title IIA terminees. Part 3 contains tables 84-107 and
relates to terminees from Title III. The tables provide
distributions of terminees by selected characteristics and
selected descriptors of the program and status at
termination (outcomes). The selected characteristics are
primarily demographic (age, race, sex, education) but also
include selected measures of economic needs. The program
outcome characteristics are program activity, length of
stay in JTPA, rates of placement in jobs, and wage at
placement. Data are provided for various sets of major
subgroups. (YLB)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
