Job Training Partnership Act Amendments of 1990. Report Together with Minority, Individual, and Additional Views To Accompany H.R. 2039. House of Representatives, 101st Congress, 2d Session.
Congress of the U.S., Washington, DC. House Committee on Education and Labor.
This document summarizes the changes to the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) sought by the Amendments of 1990 (H.R. 2039) and provides a line-by-line analysis of the proposed legislation. H.R. 2039 proposes to enhance the employment and training services delivered under the JTPA by targeting the least job-ready clients for job training services while creating a new year-round job training component for at-risk youth. Some of the major provisions of the proposed amendments are the following: (1) establishing a separate program under Title II-A for adults (over age 22) and older workers (55 and older); (2) changing state set-aside amounts; (3) retaining existing performance standards for adults and youth; (4) requiring assessment of participants' skill levels; (5) requiring on-the-job training to be of sufficient duration for workers to learn skills, but not longer than 6 months; (6) encouraging service providers to provide child care to JTPA participants; (7) enhancing fiscal accountability requirements; (8) limiting administrative costs to not more than 20 percent of a service provider's contract; (9) requiring governors to administer the programs directly if their designated subordinates fail to do so correctly; (10) establishing greater authority for the Department of Labor's Division of Indian and Native American Programs; (11) authorizing funding for migrant and seasonal farmworker programs; (12) expanding age limits for the Job Corps up to age 25; and (13) expanding other programs such as nontraditional job training for women.
