Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1984, vol. 01, issue 01

Abstract: The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) which replaced CETA (the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) a year ago, includes some new provisions that may work better than CETA in addressing rural unemployment issues. The principal objective of the new act is not appreciably different from that of CETA—to prepare certain groups of youths and unskilled adults for entry into the labor force and to provide Job training to some economically disadvantaged groups.
