Job Training Partnership Act; Pilots and Demonstration Program

On March 22, 1996, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) sent grant announcements for a limited competition to service delivery areas (SDAs) that cover areas designated as empowerment zones and enterprise communities (EZ/ECs). Under this grant announcement, DOL will select a small number of sites to pilot-test a new initiative for serving out- of-school youth proposed in the President's fiscal year 1997 budget. In the pilot demonstration, opportunity areas for youth will be establishing within EZ/ECs, with the goal of increasing the employment rates of 16-24 year-olds in the target communities from current levels of less than 50 percent to 80 percent. Persons or groups interested in the possibility of participating in preparing proposals for this grant announcement can contact their local SDA or EZ/EC board. The names and addresses of contact persons for SDAs with EZ/ECs is attached.
