JOBS and JTPA: Tracking Spending, Outcomes, and Program Performance
(Letter Report, 07/15/94, GAO/HEHS-94-177).

This report provides information on the Job Opportunities and Basic
Skills Training (JOBS) and Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs,
which Congress is considering consolidating. Together, the two programs
account for about 60 percent of the federal employment and training
funds for the nation's poor. Although JOBS is limited to welfare
recipients, JTPA serves other economically disadvantaged persons as
well. In examining the interrelationship between the two programs, GAO
discusses how funds are spent and reported for education, job training,
support services, and program administration. In addition, GAO examines
the outcome-focused data that are collected and performance standards
for the two programs.
