Abstract:

The Senate has passed the Workforce Investment Partnership Act of 1997 (the Senate version of H.R. 1385). This bill, like the House-passed H.R. 1385, the Employment, Training, and Literacy Enhancement Act of 1997 (H.R 1385), is intended to consolidate and reform education and training programs. The focus of this report is on the job training provisions of the House and Senate-passed versions of H.R. 1385.
