Analysis of the Ohio Thirteen-Week Follow-up Survey of Title III JTP Clients.
Hotchkiss, Lawrence; Smythe, John
Data from a sample of participants in JTP (Job Training Partnership) Ohio under Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) were analyzed and the findings compared to results from a companion study of Title IIA adult Ohio JTP participants. Respondents were surveyed during the 14th-17th weeks following the end of their JTP participation. Five outcomes were studied: number of weeks worked, employment status, earnings during week 13, welfare status during week 13, and educational status. Among the findings were the following: (1) JTP services received by Title IIA and III participants differed sharply; (2) for outcomes other than earnings, the effects of JTP services were similar for both Title IIA and III participants; (3) ending JTP participation to enter employment increased weeks worked and the chance of working during week 13 and decreased the likelihood of receiving public income assistance; (4) being black had a negative effect on weeks worked and the chance of being employed in week 13; and (5) assessment was an important aspect of increasing earnings for dislocated workers. (The report contains 13 data tables. Two tables showing earning frequencies and seven references are appended.) (YLB)
