Summary:

This report provides information on the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) and Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs, which Congress is considering consolidating. Together, the two programs account for about 60 percent of the federal employment and training funds for the nation's poor. Although JOBS is limited to welfare recipients, JTPA serves other economically disadvantaged persons as well. In examining the interrelationship between the two programs, GAO discusses how funds are spent and reported for education, job training, support services, and program administration. In addition, GAO examines the outcome-focused data that are collected and performance standards for the two programs.
