Multiple Employment Training Programs: Overlapping Programs Can Add
Unnecessary Administrative Costs (Letter Report, 01/28/94,
GAO/HEHS-94-80).

In the current fragmented system of federal job training programs, many
programs are targeting the same populations.  This overlap in client
groups raises questions about duplicated effort and wasted government
resources.  GAO's analysis of nine programs that target the poor showed
that the programs had similar goals, often served the same kinds of
people, and provided many of the same services using separate, yet
parallel, delivery structures.  The overlap can add unnecessary
administrative costs at each level of government--federal, state, and
local.
