CETA Programs For Disadvantaged Adults--

What Do We Know About Their Enrollees,

Services, And Effectiveness?


With expiration of the Comprehensive Employment and
Training Act impending and unemployment persisting,
GAO reviewed four types of adult-oriented service:
classroom training, on-the-job training, work experi-
ence, and public service employment. GAO found that

   --CETA adult-oriented services were well targeted.
   The enrollees were generally disadvantaged eco-
   nomically, educationally, and with regardto employ-
   ment stability.

   --outcomes differed for the four services, but these
   differences were expected since occupational areas
   and characteristics of participants also varied.

   --on the average, early participants were better off
   after CETA than before in terms of increased
   employment and earnings and reduced reliance on
   public benefits.
   --because of limited data, CETA's effectiveness can
   be addressed only in terms of earnings. No more
   than a small proportion of the improvement in
   earnings can be attributed directly to CETA, but
   women and people with extremely poor earnings
   histories appear to have profited more than other
   groups as a result of the program.
