Description

JTPA was passed in response to the economic challenges of that time, which included the deindustrialization of America and large-scale losses of manufacturing jobs (auto and steel). New programs for dislocated workers were funded, as well as training programs for disadvantaged adults. JTPA handed oversight responsibility over to the states. It also increased the power of the business community on the Private Industry Councils (51% of PIC members must be from business) and increased the PIC’s role in controlling workforce development. JTPA utilized community colleges as well as a range of nonprofit and community-based training providers to provide services. JTPA had a human service approach, which focused on identifying an individual’s need and providing those services.
