HEHS-96-61R 1 (1995-11-09)

handle is hein.gao/gaobackzj0001 and id is 1 raw text is: A ) United States (3 O' General Accounting Office Washington, D.C. 20548 Health, Education and Human Services Division B-270457 November 9, 1996 The Honorable William F. Goodling Chairman, Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: The Department of Labor's Job Corps program, established in 1964, remains one of the few federally administered programs at a time when responsibility for other federal employment and training programs has been delegated to the state and local levels. Although the program is retained as a separate federally administered program in bills passed by the House and Senate to reform, consolidate, and block grant much of the nation's job training system, the Senate bill proposes several changes to better integrate the program with state and local workforce development initiatives. As the Congress begins its conference to unify the two bills, you requested information to help define the context within which the Job Corps program is currently operating at the state level. This letter contains information on (1) the extent to which Job Corps participants are served in centers located within their state of residence and (2) the Job Corps program capacity within each state relative to the number of participants from that state. To develop this information, we used preliminary data from our ongoing study for you on the extent to which Job Corps centers serve participants in their own states. The information in this letter is based on our analysis of Job Corps' Student Pay, Allotment and Management Information System (SPAMIS), a database containing nationwide Job Corps data on all program terminees. We analyzed data for participants who left the program during program year 1993 (July 1, 1993, through June 30, 1994). We did not, however, verify the validity of Labor's database.
