  Premium   Download PDF Now (44 pages)
Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date Sept. 20, 1991
Report No. HRD-91-148
Subject
Summary:

Despite the large representation of women and minorities in the Job Training Partnership Act program, previous reports by GAO and others have pinpointed disparities in the services provided to some women and minorities. Generally, these reports found that these individuals were either less likely to receive occupational training or that the training they received was likely to be for lower wage jobs. This report addresses the extent to which disparities occur in the services provided to women and minorities; factors within the operation of local projects that contribute to such disparities; and efforts by states and the Department of Labor to monitor the services provided to various demographic groups.
