Abstract
In accordance with Section 121 of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the Governor is required to submit a Governor's Coordination and Special Services Plan (Plan) to the U.S. Secretary of Labor, U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). This Plan must be for the two-year program period ending June 30, 1992, and must describe (1) the use of all resources provided to the State and its service delivery areas (SDAs), and (2) criteria for coordinating activities at the state and local levels, prior to receipt of funding. In addition, the Plan must provide an evaluation of activities conducted over the preceding two years. The purposes of the Plan are:
To articulate the state and organizational structure that exists to administer and implement JTPA;
To establish the mission, goals, and objectives for job training and placement programs in Texas;
To establish coordination criteria;
To describe the projected use of JTPA resources in Texas;
To provide for and justify adjustments in performance standards for Texas' programs;
To establish policy initiatives which address statewide management systems; and
To evaluate activities conducted over the preceding two years. This modification to the Governor's Coordination and Special Services Plan reflects specific changes which have occurred with the election of a new Governor and appointment of a new State Job Training Coordinating Council (SJTCC). Since this change of administration occurred as the JTPA system was in the planning phase for the second year of the PY90-91 cycle, the Council and the Governor have acted only in those areas necessary to ensure continued flow of funds and continuity of services for PY91 or to make policy modifications or adjustments necessary for effective operation of programs. Specifically, policies in regard to 8% Education and Coordination programs and the Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance (EDWAA) 40% reserve were modified to promote improved performance and efficiency of these two programs. Thus, the majority of systems and operations described in this modification are carried over from PY90. During PY91, the SJTCC and the Governor will set new goals and objectives for the PY92-93 period as appropriate and review all policies and systems for consistency with these goals.
