Job Training Policy In The United States

Federal job training programs in the United States operate according to the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. The editors (of the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research and the U.S. Department of Labor) present an overview of the current state of federal job training under the WIA, concentrating on training service providers and methods of delivering training services, including the use of individual training accounts and eligible training provider lists.
