Description

Job Corps -- funded at about $1.6 billion in program year 2013 -- is the nation's largest residential, educational, and career training program for economically disadvantaged youth. In program years 2011 and 2012, the Employment and Training Admin. (ETA) projected that Job Corps' costs would exceed its appropriations, and took action to resolve these gaps. In May 2013, the Dept. of Laboräó»s (DOL's) inspector gen. reported internal control weaknesses and recommended improvements; however, questions remained about the funding transfers and spending cuts ETA implemented. This report examines (1) how ETA selected the measures it implemented to address Job Corps' financial challenges; (2) the timeliness and completeness of ETA's communications to contractors, including center staff, and Congress; (3) how spending cuts affected applicants and students; and (4) steps ETA has taken to improve Job Corps' financial management. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
