FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING POLICY: A VIEW FROM THE LOCAL LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT

Marion Pines

Review of Policy Research, 1987, vol. 6, issue 4, 782-788

Abstract: To maximize the use of human capital, employment and training resources need to be redirected to meet four objectives: (1) reduce welfare dependency by helping people gain skills for self‐sufficiency, (2) prepare a new workforce through better education of youth, (3) retrain dislocated workers, and (4) develop an employment system that links workers and jobs through the coordination of institutions. Suggestions for federal, state, and local initiatives to meet these objectives are spelled out. Particular emphasis is placed upon both a significant revitalization of the federal role in employment and training and a reassessment of traditional approaches.
