The purpose of the Department of Labor is to foster, promote, and 
develop the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve 
their working conditions, and to advance their opportunities for 
profitable employment. In carrying out this mission, the Department 
administers a variety of Federal labor laws guaranteeing workers' rights 
to safe and healthful working conditions, a minimum hourly wage and 
overtime pay, freedom from employment discrimination, unemployment 
insurance, and workers' compensation. The Department also protects 
workers' pension rights; provides for job training programs; helps 
workers find jobs; works to strengthen free collective bargaining; and 
keeps track of changes in employment, prices, and other national 
economic measurements. As the Department seeks to assist all Americans 
who need and want to work, special efforts are made to meet the unique 
job market problems of older workers, youths, minority group members, 
women, the handicapped, and other groups.

The Department of Labor (DOL), the ninth executive department, was 
created by act of March 4, 1913 (29 U.S.C. 551). A Bureau of Labor was 
first created by Congress in 1884 under the Interior Department. The 
Bureau of Labor later became independent as a Department of Labor 
without executive rank. It again returned to bureau status in the 
Department of Commerce and Labor, which was created by act of February 
14, 1903 (15 U.S.C. 1501).

Office of the Secretary of Labor

Inspector General, the Assistant Secretaries, and the Solicitor of 
Labor. Other offices whose public purposes are widely applied are

Chairman. The function of the Board is to consider and decide appeals

Compensation Act (5 U.S.C. 8101). The decisions of the Board are final 
and not subject to court review.

requirements, overtime payments, compensation benefits, employee 
discrimination, grant performance, alien certification, employee 
protection, and health and safety regulations set forth under numerous 
statutes, Executive orders, and regulations. With few exceptions,

International Affairs

The Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) carries out the 
Department's international responsibilities under the direction of the 
Deputy Under Secretary for International Affairs; assists in formulating 
international economic, social, trade, and immigration policies 
affecting American workers, with a view to maximizing higher wage and 
higher value U.S. jobs derived from global economic integration; gathers 
and disseminates information on child labor practices worldwide; 
promotes respect for international labor standards to protect the 
economic and physical well-being of workers in the United States and 
around the world; gathers and disseminates information on foreign labor 
markets and programs so that U.S. employment policy formulation might 
benefit from international experiences; disseminates information on the 
implementation of the North American Agreement on Labor Cooperation, the 
labor side agreement to the North American Free Trade Agreement; carries 
out overseas technical assistance projects; assists in the 
administration of U.S. labor attache programs at embassies abroad; 
participates in the development of the Department's immigration policy;

[[Page 368]]

market consequences of immigration proposals and legislation.
    The Bureau represents the United States on delegations to 
multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations and on such international 
bodies as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the International 
Labor Organization, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
Development, and other United Nations organizations. In addition, it 
provides counsel and support for the President's Committee on the 
International Labor Organization, a Federal advisory committee 
established to promote continued reform and progress in that 
organization.

Employment and Training Administration

The Employment and Training Administration, through a variety of 
programs, fulfills responsibilities assigned to the Secretary of Labor 
that relate to employment services, job training, and unemployment 
insurance. Component offices and services of the Administration 
administer a Federal-State employment security system; fund and oversee 
programs to provide work experience and training for groups having 
difficulty entering or returning to the work force; formulate and 
promote apprenticeship standards and programs; and conduct continuing 
programs of research, development, and evaluation.
    The Assistant Secretary for Employment and Training directs the 
administration of agency programs and is responsible for ensuring that 
programs funded through the agency are free from unlawful 
discrimination, fraud, and abuse, and that they comply with 
constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions. It is the policy 
of the Administration to promote equal opportunity, affirmative action, 
and integrity in programs to which the Administration extends financial 
assistance.
    The Administration has five major components that cover employment 
security, job training, planning and policy development, financial and 
administrative management, and regional management.
Federal Unemployment Insurance Service  The Federal-State Unemployment 
Compensation Program, under provisions of the Social Security Act of 
1935 (42 U.S.C. 1305), is the basic program of income support for the 
Nation's unemployed workers. With limited Federal intervention, 
unemployment insurance benefits are payable under laws of individual 
States. The Federal Unemployment Insurance Service provides leadership 
and policy guidance to State employment security agencies for the 
development, improvement, and operation of the Federal-State 
unemployment insurance system and of related wage-loss, worker 
dislocation, and adjustment assistance compensation programs, including 
to ex-service personnel and Federal civilian workers, and supplemental 
or extended benefits programs.
    The Service reviews State unemployment insurance laws and their 
administration by the States to determine whether they are in conformity 
with Federal requirements; supervises the development of programs and 
methods for benefit, adjudication, appeals, tax collection, and trust 
fund management activities implemented by the State agencies; oversees 
the actuarial soundness of the level and relationship of State 
expenditures, revenues, and reserves, and of Federal appropriations for 
payment of benefits; and is implementing a comprehensive system to help 
ensure continuous improvement in the performance of unemployment 
insurance operations.
    The Service also provides national leadership and direction in 
implementing its responsibilities under trade adjustment assistance, 
airline deregulation, and disaster unemployment assistance legislation.

For further information, call 202-219-7831.


[[Page 369]]



United States Employment Service  The Service, under the provisions of 
the Wagner-Peyser Act (29 U.S.C. 49 et seq.), provides assistance to 
States in establishing and maintaining a system of local public 
employment offices in the States and territories and interstate 
clearance of Labor. The State public employment service is responsible 
for providing unemployed individuals and other jobseekers with job 
placement, and other employment services and for providing employers 
with recruitment services and referrals of job-seeking applicants.
    The Service, through the State public employment service system, 
also provides subsidiary services which include:
    --certifying aliens who seek to enter the United States for 
permanent employment as immigrants or as temporary workers;
    --providing specialized recruitment assistance to employers;
    --determining classifications of labor surplus area annually and for 
exceptional circumstance petitions;
    --providing labor surplus area information to the general public and 
to other Federal or State agencies to meet various program 
responsibilities;
    --disseminating labor market information;
    --providing individuals with guidance, counseling, testing referral, 
and job opportunities;
    --reviewing rural industrialization loan and grant certification 
applications under the Rural Development Act of 1972 (7 U.S.C. 1921);
    --distributing airline job opening information for rehiring under 
the Airline Deregulation Act (49 U.S.C. app. 1301);
    --providing supportive services to employers and applicants through 
the Federal bonding program; and
    --providing reemployment services to dislocated workers.

For further information, call 202-219-5257.

Office of Work-Based Learning  The Office administers activities under 
several Federal laws regarding worker training and retraining. These 
include the dislocated worker program under the Economic Dislocation and 
Worker Adjustment Assistance Act (EDWAA) (Title III of the Job Training 
Partnership Act (JTPA); Federal activities under the Worker Adjustment 
and Retraining Notification Act (WARN); and the Trade Adjustment 
Assistance Program under the Trade Act. In addition, the Office carries 
out research and demonstration programs.

For further information, call 202-219-6236.

Office of Worker Retraining and Adjustment Programs  The Office performs 
dislocated worker programs functions under the Economic Dislocation and 
Worker Adjustment Assistance Act (Title III of JTPA), and Federal 
activities under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.

For further information, call 202-219-5339.

Office of Trade Adjustment Assistance  The Office administers the Trade 
Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program provisions of the Trade Act of 1974, 
as amended (19 U.S.C. 2101 et seq.), through agreements with the States. 
The program provides reemployment services such as training, job search 
and relocation allowances, and weekly cash payments to U.S. workers who 
are separated from employment because of foreign imports.
    The Office receives petitions for adjustment assistance from either 
adversely affected workers, a duly recognized union, or an authorized 
representative of the workers and conducts factfinding investigations to 
develop necessary data on which certification determinations can be 
based. Determinations may involve approval, denial, or termination of 
worker groups' eligibility for trade adjustment assistance benefits.
    The Office administers the North American Free Trade Agreement--
Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA) program to help workers 
who become dislocated as a result of increased trade with Mexico or 
Canada after January 1, 1994, when NAFTA went into effect. The program 
emphasizes a comprehensive, timely

[[Page 370]]

array of retraining and reemployment services, including both rapid 
response and basic readjustment services. Similar to TAA, the NAFTA-TAA 
program provides training, job search and relocation allowances, and 
income support while in training.
    The Office develops policies and prepares program directives to 
regional offices and State agencies on the administration and funding of 
reemployment services, and develops and maintains a system for 
allocating funds to those offices and agencies for reemployment 
services. It also directs and conducts industry studies of the number of 
workers in a domestic industry likely to be certified as eligible for 
adjustment assistance and of the extent to which existing training and 
employment programs may facilitate the workers' adjustment to import 
competition when an industry petitions the Federal Government that it is 
being injured because of import competition.

For further information, call 202-219-5555.

Office of One-Stop/Labor Market Information (LMI)  The Department's 
multi-year investments in the One-Stop Career Centers System, including 
America's Labor Market Information System, are designed to transform a 
fragmented array of employment and training programs into an integrated 
service delivery system. One-Stop Career Centers offer a number of 
service or business lines to adult customers of the employment and 
training system, including labor exchange services, income maintenance, 
job search assistance, individual intensive services, training, and 
labor market information.
    Fifty-four States and jurisdictions have received one-stop planning 
or implementation grants. With these funds, the States and their local 
partners make strategic investments in infrastructure (including 
technology, movement to client-server systems, addition of Internet 
connections, cross-training of staff, creation of public access resource 
rooms and other media-assisted self-service mechanisms) while 
integrating employment and training programs into an effective and 
flexible system for the provision of customer services.
    One-stop also supports the development of products, services, and 
hardware, software, and communications infrastructure associated with an 
improved labor market information program. Resources are devoted to the 
development and delivery of a set of core products and services in each 
State; ongoing research and development to improve the quality of labor 
market information available to job seekers and employers, including 
consumer reports; and maintenance and expansion of a nationwide 
electronic exchange system which includes job openings and resumes.

For further information, call 202-219-6540.

Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training  The National Apprenticeship Act 
(29 U.S.C. 50) was passed in 1937 to enable the Department of Labor to 
formulate and promote the furtherance of labor standards necessary to 
safeguard the welfare of apprentices and cooperate with the States in 
the promotion of such standards, and to bring together employers and 
labor for the formulation of programs of apprenticeship.
    Sponsors and potential sponsors are encouraged and assisted in the 
development, expansion, and improvement of apprenticeship and other 
forms of allied industrial training. Technical information on training 
methods, public training facilities, and successfully executed systems 
are made available to industry. Through field representatives in States, 
the Bureau works closely with employers, labor unions, vocational 
schools, community planning groups, and others concerned with 
apprenticeship.
    Programs must meet standards established by the Bureau or a 
recognized State Apprenticeship Council to be registered. Field 
compliance reviews are conducted to determine conformity with Federal 
equal employment opportunity and other standards for apprenticeship and 
training.

For further information, call 202-219-5921.

[[Page 371]]

Job Training Partnership Act

The Office of Job Training Programs is responsible for the development 
and issuance of Federal procedures and policies pertaining to the 
operation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs.
    Under the act, the Secretary of Labor makes block grants to the 
States, insular areas, and the District of Columbia to establish 
programs to prepare youth and adults facing serious barriers to 
employment for participation in the labor force. Program services 
include assessment of unemployed individuals' needs and abilities; 
classroom training; on-the-job training; job search assistance; work 
experience; counseling; basic skills training; and support services. In 
addition to the block grants, JTPA provides for national programs for 
special target groups such as Native Americans and migrant and seasonal 
farmworkers. It also provides authority for the Job Corps, a residential 
training program for disadvantaged youth.

For further information, call 202-219-6236.

Office of Job Corps Programs  Job Corps is a national residential 
training and employment program administered by the Department to 
address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth 
throughout the United States. Job Corps is currently authorized under 
title IV-B of the Job Training Partnership Act.
    Job Corps assists young people 16 to 24 years of age who need and 
can benefit from an unusually intensive program, operated primarily in 
the residential setting of a Job Corps center, to become more 
responsible, employable, and productive citizens. The program is highly 
targeted to the most severely disadvantaged youth and provides a 
comprehensive mix of services which address multiple barriers to 
employment in an integrated and coordinated manner in one facility. The 
array of services includes diagnostic testing of reading and math 
levels; occupational exploration programs; world of work training; basic 
education programs; competency-based vocational education programs; 
counseling and related support services; work experience programs; 
social skills training; intergroup relations; recreational programs; 
meals, lodging, and clothing; health care; and child care.
    The program operates through a successful partnership of government, 
labor, and the private sector, with the Federal Government providing the 
facilities and equipment for Job Corps centers. Because the residential 
nature of the program dictates unique space and facility requirements, 
Job Corps center sites are fixed.

For further information, call 202-219-8550.

Senior Community Service Employment Program  Authorized by title V of 
the Older Americans Act (42 U.S.C. 3056), the program makes subsidized, 
part-time job opportunities in community service activities available to 
low-income persons aged 55 and above. Project grants are made to 
national-level public and private nonprofit agencies and to units of 
State governments. The distribution of funds among the States is 
governed by a statutory apportionment formula.

For further information, call 202-219-5500.

Regional Management

The Office of Regional Management provides leadership to the Employment 
and Training Administration's regional offices that are located in 10 
areas throughout the United States. The Office executes direct-line 
authority over Administration field activities (except the Bureau of 
Apprenticeship and Training and Job Corps) and provides a central point 
of contact at the headquarters level in connection with national office 
component dealings with regional staff.
    Within its area of jurisdiction, each regional office is responsible 
for the oversight and grant administration of employment and training 
programs operated by State governments. Other public interest 
responsibilities include the coordination of Administration activities 
with Federal assistance programs of other agencies within the

[[Page 372]]

region; the implementation of employment training administrative 
policies on equal employment opportunity; and assistance to the States 
in carrying out operational responsibilities for employment and training 
programs at the State and local levels.

Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration

The Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA) is responsible 
for the administration of title I of the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). The primary mission of PWBA is 
to promote and protect the pension, health, and other benefits of the 
over 150 million participants and beneficiaries in over 6 million 
private sector employee benefit plans which hold more than $3.5 trillion 
in assets. Private sector employee benefit plans provide income and 
benefits on which the majority of Americans rely to maintain an 
acceptable quality of life. The economic security of an individual or 
family may be jeopardized if pension, health, or other benefits are not 
paid as promised.
    In administering its responsibilities, PWBA assists workers in 
understanding their rights and protecting their benefits; facilitates 
compliance by plan sponsors, plan officials, service providers, and 
other members of the regulated community; encourages the growth of 
employment-based benefits; and deters and corrects violations of the 
relevant statutes. ERISA is enforced through 15 PWBA field offices 
nationwide and the national office in Washington, DC.
    Vesting, participation, and funding standards are primarily 
administered by the Internal Revenue Service.

Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) ensures that 
companies that do business with the Government promote affirmative 
action and equal employment opportunity on behalf of minorities, women, 
the disabled, and Vietnam Veterans. Through its 10 regional offices, as 
well as district and area offices in major metropolitan centers, OFCCP 
enforces the following laws and orders:
    --Executive Order 11246, as amended, which prohibits discrimination 
in hiring or employment opportunities on the basis of race, color, 
gender, religion, and national origin. It applies to all contractors and 
subcontractors holding any Federal or federally assisted contracts worth 
more than $10,000 annually. In addition, it requires contractors and 
subcontractors with a Federal contract of $50,000 or more, and 50 or 
more employees, to develop a written affirmative action program that 
sets forth specific and result-oriented procedures to which the 
contractor is committed to apply every good faith effort.
    --Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which 
prohibits discrimination and requires affirmative action in all 
personnel practices for persons with disabilities. It applies to firms 
with Federal contracts of $10,000 or more annually;
    --the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (38 
USC 4212), which prohibits discrimination and requires affirmative 
action in all personnel practices for special disabled veterans and 
Vietnam Era veterans. It applies to firms with Federal contracts of 
$10,000 or more annually;
    --the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which requires 
employers to maintain certain records pertaining to the citizenship 
status of new employees. These records are examined during the course of 
compliance reviews and complaint investigations, and results are 
reported to the Immigration and Naturalization Service; and

[[Page 374]]

    --the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which became 
effective in July 1992 and provides disabled employees protection 
against discrimination.
    In carrying out its responsibilities, the Office conducts compliance 
reviews and complaint investigations of Federal contractors' personnel 
policies and procedures; obtains letters of commitment and conciliation 
agreements from contractors who are in violation of regulatory 
requirements; monitors contractors' progress in fulfilling the terms of 
their agreements through periodic compliance reports; forms linkage 
agreements between contractors and Department job training programs to 
help employers identify and recruit qualified workers; offers technical 
assistance to contractors to help them understand the regulatory 
requirements and review process; and recommends enforcement actions to 
the Solicitor of Labor.
    The ultimate sanction for violations is debarment--the loss of a 
company's Federal contracts. Other forms of relief to victims of 
discrimination may also be available, including back pay for lost wages.

legislation. These programs are designed to:
    --protect low-wage incomes as provided by the minimum wage 
provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. 201);
    --safeguard the health and welfare of workers by discouraging 
excessively long hours of work through enforcement of the overtime

    --prevent curtailment of employment and earnings for students, 
trainees, and handicapped workers;
    --minimize losses of income and job rights caused by indebtedness; 
and
    --direct a program of farm labor contractor registration designed to 
protect the health, safety, and welfare of migrant and seasonal 
agricultural workers; and
    --administer and enforce a number of immigration-related programs 
(with INS) designed to safeguard the rights of both American and foreign 
workers and to prevent American workers similarly employed from being 
adversely affected by employment of alien workers.
    The Wage and Hour Division is also responsible for predetermination 
of prevailing wage rates for Federal construction contracts and 
federally assisted programs for construction, alteration and repair of 
public works subject to the Davis-Bacon (40 U.S.C. 276a) and related 
acts, and a continuing program for determining wage rates under the 
Service Contract Act (41 U.S.C. 351). The Division also has enforcement 
responsibility in ensuring that prevailing wages and overtime standards 
are paid in accordance with the provisions of the Davis-Bacon and 
related acts: Service Contract Act, Public Contracts Act, and Contract 
Work Hours and Safety Standards Act.

Office of Labor-Management Standards

This office administers provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act of 1959 (29 U.S.C. 401) and section 1209 of the Postal 
Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. 1209), which establish standards of 
conduct for labor organizations in the private sector and labor 
organizations composed of Postal Service employees; as well as section 
701 of the Civil Service Reform Act (5 U.S.C. 7120) and section 1017 of 
the Foreign Service Act (22 U.S.C. 4117), which affect labor 
organizations composed of employees of most agencies of the executive 
branch of the Federal Government. These provisions regulate certain 
internal union procedures, protect the rights of members in 
approximately 31,000 unions; govern the handling of union funds; provide 
for reporting and public disclosure of certain financial transactions 
and administrative practices of unions, union officers and employees, 
surety companies, employers, and labor relations consultants; establish 
requirements for the election of union officers; and establish 
requirements for the imposition and administration of trusteeships.
    This office conducts criminal and civil investigations to safeguard 
the financial integrity of unions and to ensure union democracy; and 
conducts investigative audits of labor unions to uncover and remedy 
criminal and civil violations of the Labor-Management Reporting and 
Disclosure Act and related statutes. However, the standards of conduct 
are enforced only by administrative action with a final decision by the 
Assistant Secretary.
    The Office also administers a public disclosure program for 
financial and other reports filed by unions and others and provides 
compliance assistance to help unions and others comply with the 
statutes. In administering responsibilities of the Department under 
Federal transit law, the office ensures that fair and equitable 
arrangements protecting mass transit employees are in place before the 
referral of Federal transit grant funds.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Occupational Safety and Health 
sets and enforces workplace safety and health standards and assists 
employers in complying with those standards. The Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA), created pursuant to the Occupational 
Safety and Health Act of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.), has established a 
four-fold focus: firm and fair enforcement of safety and health rules; 
partnership with States running their own OSHA-approved programs and 
with employers and employees interested in developing effective 
workplace safety and health programs; efficient promulgation of new 
rules that are clear and easy to understand and follow; and increased 
outreach and training to help employers and employees eliminate safety 
and health hazards.

Mine Safety and Health Administration

The Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health has 
responsibility for safety and health in the Nation's mines.
    The Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 (30 U.S.C. 801 
et seq.) provided the Federal Government strong enforcement provisions 
to protect the Nation's coal miners; in 1977, the Congress passed 
amendments which strengthened the act, expanding its protections and 
extending its provisions to the noncoal mining industry.
    The Administration develops and promulgates mandatory safety and 
health standards, ensures compliance with such standards, assesses civil 
penalties for violations, and investigates accidents. It cooperates with 
and provides assistance to the States in the development of effective 
State mine safety and health programs; improves and expands training 
programs in cooperation with the States and the mining industry; and, in 
coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services, 
contributes to the improvement and expansion of mine safety and health 
research and development. All of these activities are aimed at 
preventing and reducing mine accidents and occupational diseases in the 
mining industry.
    The statutory responsibilities of the Administration are 
administered by a headquarters staff located at Arlington, VA, reporting 
to the Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health and by a field 
network of district, subdistrict, and field offices and several other 
field facilities.

Labor Statistics

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principal fact-finding 
agency of the Federal Government in the broad field of labor economics 
and statistics. The Bureau is an independent national statistical agency 
that collects, processes, analyzes, and disseminates essential 
statistical data to the American public, Congress, other Federal 
agencies, State and local governments, businesses, and labor. BLS also 
serves as a statistical resource to the Department of Labor.

[[Page 379]]

Data are available relating to employment, unemployment, and other 
characteristics of the labor force; consumer and producer prices, 
consumer expenditures, and import and export prices; wages and employee 
benefits; productivity and technological change; employment projections; 
occupational illness and injuries; and international comparisons of 
labor statistics. Most of the data are collected in surveys conducted by 
the Bureau, the Bureau of the Census (on a contract basis), or on a 
cooperative basis with State agencies.
    The Bureau strives to have its data satisfy a number of criteria, 
including: relevance to current social and economic issues, timeliness 
in reflecting today's rapidly changing economic conditions, accuracy and 
consistently high statistical quality, and impartiality in both subject 
matter and presentation.
    The basic data--practically all supplied voluntarily by business 
establishments and members of private households--are issued in monthly, 
quarterly, and annual news releases; bulletins, reports, and special 
publications; and periodicals. Data are also made available through an 
electronic news service, magnetic tape, diskettes, and microfiche, as 
well as on Internet. Regional offices issue additional reports and 
releases usually presenting locality or regional detail.

Veterans' Employment and Training Service

The Veterans' Employment and Training Service is the component of the 
Department of Labor administered by the Assistant Secretary for 
Veterans' Employment and Training. The Assistant Secretary is the 
principal adviser to the Secretary of Labor in the formulation and 
implementation of all departmental policies, procedures, and regulations 
affecting veterans and is responsible for administering veterans' 
employment and training programs and activities through the Service to 
ensure that legislative and regulatory mandates are accomplished.
    The Service carries out its responsibilities for directing the 
Department's veterans' employment and training programs through a 
nationwide network that includes Regional Administrators, Directors (in 
each State) and Assistant Directors (one for each 250,000 veterans in 
each State) for Veterans' Employment and Training, Assistant Regional 
Administrators, Veterans' Program Specialists, and program support 
staff.
    The Service field staff works closely with and provides technical 
assistance to State Employment Security Agencies and Job Training 
Partnership Act grant recipients to ensure that veterans are provided 
the priority services required by law. They also coordinate with 
employers, labor unions, veterans service organizations, and community 
organizations through planned public

[[Page 380]]

information and outreach activities. Federal contractors are provided 
management assistance in complying with their veterans affirmative 
action and reporting obligations.
    Also administered by the Assistant Secretary through the Service is 
the Job Training Partnership Act, title IV, part C grant program 
designed to meet the employment and training needs of service-connected 
disabled veterans, Vietnam-era veterans, and veterans recently separated 
from military service. IV-C grants are awarded and monitored through the 
Service's national office and field staff.
    Certain other Service staff also administer the veterans 
reemployment rights program. They provide assistance to help restore 
job, seniority, and pension rights to veterans following absences from 
work for active military service and to protect employment and retention 
rights of members of the Reserve or National Guard.
