Bureau of Apprenticeship and TrainingThe National Apprenticeship Act (29U.S.C. 50) was passed in 1937 to enablethe Department of Labor to formulateand promote the furtherance of laborstandards necessary to safeguard thewelfare of apprentices and cooperatewith the States in the promotion of suchstandards, and to bring togetheremployers and labor for the formulationof programs of apprenticeship.

Sponsors and potential sponsors areencouraged and assisted in thedevelopment, expansion, andimprovement of apprenticeship andother forms of allied industrial training.Technical information on trainingmethods, public training facilities, andsuccessfully executed systems are madeavailable to industry. Through fieldrepresentatives in States, the Bureauworks closely with employers, laborunions, vocational schools, communityplanning groups, and others concernedwith apprenticeship.

Programs must meet standardsestablished by the Bureau or arecognized State Apprenticeship Councilto be registered. Field compliancereviews are conducted to determineconformity with Federal equal



employment opportunity and otherstandards for apprenticeship andtraining.


Job Training Partnership ActThe Office of Job Training Programs isresponsible for the development andissuance of Federal procedures andpolicies pertaining to the operation ofthe Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA)programs.

Under the act, the Secretary of Labormakes block grants to the States, insularareas, and the District of Columbia toestablish programs to prepare youth andadults facing serious barriers toemployment for participation in thelabor force. Program services includeassessment of unemployed individuals’needs and abilities; classroom training;on-the-job training; job searchassistance; work experience; counseling;basic skills training; and supportservices. In addition to the block grants,JTPA provides for national programs forspecial target groups such as NativeAmericans and migrant and seasonalfarmworkers. It also provides authorityfor the Job Corps, a residential trainingprogram for disadvantaged youth.


Office of Job Corps Programs JobCorps is a national residential trainingand employment program administeredby the Department to address themultiple barriers to employment facedby disadvantaged youth throughout theUnited States. Job Corps is currentlyauthorized under title IV–B of the JobTraining Partnership Act.

Job Corps assists young people 16 to24 years of age who need and canbenefit from an unusually intensiveprogram, operated primarily in theresidential setting of a Job Corps center,to become more responsible,employable, and productive citizens.The program is highly targeted to themost severely disadvantaged youth andprovides a comprehensive mix ofservices which address multiple barriersto employment in an integrated andcoordinated manner in one facility. The

array of services includes diagnostictesting of reading and math levels;occupational exploration programs;world of work training; basic educationprograms; competency-based vocationaleducation programs; counseling andrelated support services; workexperience programs; social skillstraining; intergroup relations;recreational programs; meals, lodging,and clothing; health care; and childcare.

The program operates through asuccessful partnership of government,labor, and the private sector, with theFederal Government providing thefacilities and equipment for Job Corpscenters. Because the residential nature ofthe program dictates unique space andfacility requirements, Job Corps centersites are fixed.
