Abstract | This report examines the effectiveness of employment and training programs in Minnesota and discusses the impact of the 1985 Jobs Bill state legislation. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to Minnesota's programs and to studies of employment and training programs conducted nationwide. Chapter 2 studies the use of Job Training Partnership Act funds in Minnesota. Focus is on the Title II-A basic services component; the Title II-B summer youth component is also discussed. Chapter 3 evaluates two wage subsidy programs: the state-funded Minnesota Employment and Economic Development program and the federally funded Targeted Jobs Tax Credit program. Chapter 4 reviews the role and performance of the Job Service as it has carried out its primary mission of serving as a labor exchange. Chapter 5 examines programs that exclusively serve public assistance recipients. Chapter 6 presents overall conclusions about Minnesota's employment and training programs. It recommends that the state should develop a strategy for effectively using existing employment and training resources, the state should improve coordination among programs, changes should be considered to improve the effectiveness of employment and training programs, the state should maximize use of federal funds, the state should monitor and evaluate program effectiveness, and greater legislative oversight of programs is needed.
