Position Paper
September 1988
Several new federal laws have been enacted or are close to being
enacted which are of interest to the Colorado Job Training
Partnership Association, Inc.. Namely, these are:
1. The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act
(HR4848) which in part amends Title III of the Job
Training Partnership Act.
2. The Hunger Prevention Act of 1988 (S2560) which
establishes a food stamp employment and training
program administered by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
3. The Family Security Act of 1987 (S1511) which reforms
the welfare system and establishes an employment and
training effort for welfare participants.
Although various organizations exist which operate programs in
these areas, it is in the best interest of the taxpaying public to
consolidate operations and to eliminate unnecessary duplication of
effort. Efficient delivery of services is of the utmost importance to
the beneficiaries of services and should be of equal importance to the
deliverers of these services.
The Colorado Job Training Partnership Association, Inc. supports the
following positions in relation to these legislative acts.
1. that the local jurisdiction (County Commissioners or
Mayors and Private Industry Councils) ought to
determine and direct the design, integration, and delivery
of employment and training programs for their locale per
State law HB1288, the Job Alternative Program;
2. that unnecessary duplication of services ought to be
prohibited;

5. Specific to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Notification Act (HR 4848):
a. that the Governor ought to use the existing Service _
Delivery Area system as the vehicle for service
delivery; .
b. that the Governor determine that services to displaced
homemakers be provided as allowed under the
