Summary:

For many years, people seeking help in finding jobs have had to contend with a vast number of federal programs offering employment training assistance. Some states have tried to coordinate the programs, but these efforts have not always been successful. To bring some order to the current fragmented "system" of more than 150 different federal employment training assistance programs, local, state, and federal leaders need to work together to set common goals for programs yet allow communities the flexibility to develop service-delivery mechanisms tailored to local needs. This testimony discusses (1) problems created by the myriad of employment training programs, (2) state and local efforts to coordinate these programs, and (3) the need for a national employment training strategy.
