              WILLIAM J. GAINER, ASSOCIATE  DIRECTOR
                     HUMAN RESOURCES  DIVISION


                            BEFORE  THE
             SUBCOMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT  OPPORTUNITIES
             HOUSE  COMMITTEE ON  EDUCATION AND LABOR
                              ON THE
            JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP  ACT, TITLE III
                    DISLOCATED WORKER  PROGRAM


Mr. Chairman and Members of  the Subcommittee:


     I am pleased to be here  today to assist in your oversight of
the Job Training Partnership Act  (JTPA).  My testimony will
   Y
provide preliminary results from our  study of local projects for
dislocated workers.


     As you know title III allows  states considerable latitude
in designing dislocated worker programs  and the Department of
Labor has implemented the program  to allow maximum state
flexibility.  Thus states have  been free to develop programs
which they believe best meet  the needs of their dislocated
workers.  The result has been  considerable variation in local
projects.  For example, while projects  have frequently served
fewer than 100 participants, a  few have reached more than 1,000
individuals.  Some projects are  targeted to workers from a
specific business closure or layoff  and provide assistance for
only a fixed period of time, while  others are ongoing projects
