The Impact of CETA on Institutional Vocational Education.
Anderson, Robert; Rozansky, Rosa D.
This 1974 report contains a summary and analysis of data collected from a survey of 100 city prime sponsors to determine the impact of the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act of 1973 (CETA) on the vocational education system based on CETA's first year in operation. Some of the basic conclusions presented (as derived from data received) are (1) CETA is not significantly impacting on institutional vocational education--at best the system is merely being maintained as it existed under the Manpower Development and Training Act and the Equal Opportunity Act, (2) there exists a great deal of confusion and lack of understanding among local prime sponsors due to the lack of direct involvement prior to CETA, (3) the communication between States and local prime sponsors needed for CETA to positively impact on vocational education is inadequate, (4) CETA title I money is not being used to any large extent to increase the training being provided at existing vocational education institutions, (5) the system of negotiating nonfinancial agreements with the State for the provision of vocational education training and services through the use of the 5% supplemental vocational education funds often does not afford local prime sponsors adequate flexibility, (6) the CETA rules and regulations are vague regarding allocation of the 5% supplemental vocational education funds within the States, and (7) the confusion, complexity, and restriction of local prime sponsor flexibility has resulted in frustration among many local prime sponsors and has made it difficult for the 5% supplemental vocational education funds to impact in local jurisdictions. The appendix includes city profile data for 100 cities selected for surveying, list of cities included in analysis, survey instrument, and signature sheet and instructions for completing the nonfinancial agreement.
