Book excerpt: This document records the oral testimony and written reports of witnesses who testified at a Congressional hearing on moving the United States toward a comprehensive employment training system. Witnesses included members of Congress, state officials, labor representatives, and association officials concerned with employment and training. At the hearing, witnesses took a broader look at the government's ineffective employment and training efforts, which span more than 150 programs operated by 14 federal agencies spending about $25 billion per year. Issues considered include whether and how to reinvent employment and training programs. The witnesses commented on the difficulties caused by the multiplicity of federal programs and the steps that they are taking to overcome the hurdles. (KC)
