Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Federal Job Training Programs The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:03 a.m., in room SD-430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Kassebaum (chairman of the committee) presiding. Present: Senators Kassebaum, Jeffords, Coats, Gregg, Frist, Gorton, Kennedy, Pell, and Harkin. Opening Statement of Senator Kassebaum The Chairman. The hearing will please come to order. It is a pleasure to welcome everyone this morning to the first of a series of three hearings on the job training programs that are a part of Federal funding efforts to assist with training and retraining. The fact that we have over 150 programs and spend over $20 billion annually has caused some concern, wondering if indeed we are doing it right. This is not a hearing designed to point fingers or to ask who is to blame. Over the years, Republican and Democratic administrations have added programs that have accumulated like barnacles on a ship, and we do not have any good statistics that really help us to understand what is effective and what is not. I think it is absolutely crucial that we devote our efforts, on both sides of the aisle, to finding a better delivery system. It is only fair to the taxpayers and, more importantly, it is only fair to those men and women who are involved in the job training programs. We do a great disservice in my view if we raise expectations by promoting job training but then fail to deliver. If a program cannot show it is providing those who need jobs with meaningful employment, then we should seriously ask ourselves whether or not it should be kept. The taxpayers are not the only losers, as I said, and if we continue to fund programs that do not work, I think we ourselves are showing that we cannot be of assistance on an enormously important issue as we try to figure out today how we can change welfare and how we can downsize Government. It is not just a question of downsizing; it is a question of making these programs work. That is why I look forward to these hearings to help us understand better now to fulfill the responsibilities that we have here.
