               As agreed with your offices, we are providing some preliminary results
               from our review of participant support under the Job Training Partnership
               Act (JTPA), which was undertaken at your request. The following
               information responds to the portion of your request that asked for
               information on the impact of participant support on the program outcomes
               experienced by JTPA enrollees. Also, we are providing comments on H. R.
               3033, the Job Training Reform Amendments, the House-passed bill to
               amend JTPA, and S. 2055, the Job Training and Basic Skills Act of 1992,
               the Senate-passed bill.

               PARTICIPANT SUPPORT ASSOCIATED
               WITH IMPROVED PROGRAM OUTCOMES

               Our preliminary analysis at five service delivery areas (SDAs) indicates
               that among a group with an apparent need for participant support--single
               parents with a child under 6 years of age--those who re, eived child care,
               regardless of its source, had better program outcomes than those who did
               not. Those who received child care assistance more often successfully
               completed their training (69 vs. 45 percent), and more often obtained jobs
               or experienced some other positive outcome, such as completing a major
               level of education (68 vs. 49 percent), than those who did not receive such
               assistance.
