Effects of the ICoVE 1986-87 Study of the Coordination of JTPA and Vocational Education. Report 22.
Illinois State Council on Vocational Education, Springfield.
A follow-up study investigated what happened to recommendations made as a result of a formal study of coordination between Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) and vocational education programs in Illinois. Questionnaires listing the nine recommendations were sent to staff of the 26 service delivery areas (20 respondents), staff of the 61 regional delivery systems (31 respondents), staff of community colleges involved with vocational education and JTPA (18 respondents), and other staff (2 respondents). Responses showed that activities to improve communication and coordination had begun. Service delivery areas and regional delivery systems had exchanged plans, as recommended. In a few parts of the state, regional vocational education directors had responsibility for coordination with JTPA, as recommended. Although it had been recommended that State Board and state JTPA administrators identify contractual problems, contractual problems that interfere with JTPA in high schools continued to exist and needed further study. Educational institutions did not have the "right of first refusal" on JTPA contracts. Joint planning for 40 percent youth projects and other youth programs was accepted more in theory than in practice. A professional training program for JTPA staff, vocational teachers, and administrators was still needed. (Following the five-page report, the responses of the four groups of respondents are provided for each question.) (YLB)
