An evaluation project determined the effectiveness of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) 8 percent programs operated during the 1987-88 school year in North Carolina. Data were reported by 19 JTPA 8 percent program sites. Five different JTPA project activities were evaluated: Extended School Day (ESD), Pre-Employment Skills Training, School-to-Work, Transition, Principles of Technology, and Assessment/Testing. The 776 participants were 9th to 12th-grade students. Approximately 43 percent were female and 57 percent were male. The ethnic composition of the group was 48 percent Black, 42 percent White, and less than 10 percent American Indian. An analysis of predetermined performance objectives indicated that 93 percent of ESD students passed the North Carolina Competency Test, 77 percent of the ESD students passed four or more academic credits required for graduation, 44 percent of ESD students and 68 percent of School-to-Work Transition program students were placed in unsubsidized employment, 100 percent of the School-to-Work Transition students satisfactorily completed the program, 85 percent of the Principles of Technology students satisfactorily completed the program, 82 students were enrolled in the Assessment/Testing program, and 82 percent of the Pre-Employment Skills Training program students satisfactorily completed the course.
