Although many of the programs have admirable goals, collectively these add unnecessary administrative costs and confuse and frustrate clients, employers, and administrators. These problems have raised concerns about the efficiency of the current system. Additionally, many agencies do not know whether their programs actually help people get jobs. Thus, the effectiveness of these programs is also in question. This situation convinces GAO that a major overhaul and consolidation of the programs is needed to create an effective and efficient employment training system. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-53/html/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-53.htm GAO/T-HEHS-95-53 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-T-HEHS-95-53 Testimony GAO/T-HEHS-95-53; Multiple Employment Training Programs: Major Overhaul Needed to Reduce Costs, Streamline the Bureaucracy, and Improve Results; Administrative costs Employment or training programs Disadvantaged persons Aid for training or employment Data collection operations Vocational education Interagency relations Education program evaluation Aid to families with dependent children Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program Job Training Partnership Act Program JTPA JOBS Program Food Stamp Employment and Training Program AFDC HUD Family Self-Sufficiency Program Trade Adjustment Assistance Program
