handle is hein.gao/gaobabnqt0001 and id is 1 raw text is: 1,64& / 0 UNITED STATES GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C. Z0548 April 22, 1985 HUMAN MCDEUAUC DIVISION B-215744 The Honorable Edward M. Kennedy Ranking Minority Member Committee on Labor and Human Resources 126781 United States Senate Dear Senator Kennedy: Subject: Concerns Within the Job Training Community Over Labor's Ability to Implement the Job Training Partnership Act (GAO/HRD-85-61) As your office requested, we are providing you with information on the Department of Labor's role in implementing the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and the potential impact a reduction-in-force (RIF) and reorganization had on its ability to carry out that role. Because of the relative newness of the JTPA program and the evolving nature of Labor's and the states' roles in administering it, we concentrated our efforts on ob- taining the views of members of the job training community as to the potential impact of these actions. These views were their perception of Labor's ability to implement the act, and as a consequence, could not be independently verified by our staff. We identified some concerns within that community over Labor's ability to adequately implement JTPA. Specifically, these concerns relate to (1) the potentially adverse impact of a May 1984 RIF and reorganization within the Employment and Train- ing Administration (ETA) on staff morale, program expertise, and efficiency of program implementation and (2) the lack of JTPA program guidance to the states. 1This term is used throughout this report to collectively describe representatives of employment and training organiza- tions, including Labor's Employment and Training Administra- tion, Office of Inspector General, and regional offices; the states; and public interest groups.
