Youth Knowledge Development Report, Program Evaluations. The State Role in Youth Employment and Training Programs

摘要

The FY 1979 grant plans of all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico are reviewed in this report of Governors' statewide youth services programs. The report highlights innovative programs for youth under state supervision and programs that provide labor market or occupational information to youth. Examples of collaborative programs between the states and local institutions, experimental and apprenticeship programs, and model employment and training programs are also included. Finally, the report notes problems in using standard DOL evaluation procedures for model programs, areas of service overlap between state-funded programs and federal agencies, and areas that require further research.
