Statewide Analysis of the Ohio Thirteen-Week Follow-up Survey of Title IIA JTP Clients.
Hotchkiss, Lawrence; Smythe, John
Data from a sample of adult participants in JTP Ohio under Title IIA of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) were analyzed. Respondents were surveyed after completion of 13 weeks of JTP training. Five outcome variables were studied: weeks worked, employment status during week 13, earnings in week 13, welfare status during week 13, and school attendance status. Demographics, reason for termination from JTP, and service delivery area effects were also analyzed. Among the findings were the following: (1) preexisting differences had a significant influence on the outcomes--females, blacks, and older workers earned less and JTP services had the intended effects of increasing likelihood of employment and number of weeks worked and decreasing likelihood of being on welfare; (2) these differences were found even though indicators such as education, training, and labor market experience were controlled statistically; (3) classroom training, job search assistance, and on-the-job training increased the likelihood of employment in week 13 and the number of weeks worked thereafter and decreased the likelihood of receiving public assistance. It was concluded that JTP Ohio services have the intended effects on labor market outcomes. Reason for termination from JTP programs is a critical factor.
