Summary:

In the current fragmented system of federal job training programs, many programs are targeting the same populations. This overlap in client groups raises questions about duplicated effort and wasted government resources. GAO's analysis of nine programs that target the poor showed that the programs had similar goals, often served the same kinds of people, and provided many of the same services using separate, yet parallel, delivery structures. The overlap can add unnecessary administrative costs at each level of government--federal, state, and local.
