The PICS consisting of business arrl local a:mnunity leaders, are responsible to identify employrrent and training needs, to plan programs to rreet; these needs, and to oversee their operation. Three service Delivery Areas, 6, 12, and 13, are operating in the Second COngressional District. In addition the Jobs Training Program funds statewide programs that benefit the District. Grant awards in the arrount of $5,280, 934 ~e made to specific service providers within the District in 1984. '!his arrount does not include rratching funds that the local PICs ITUlSt provide.

'!he statewide programs that serve the District are: Ehployrrent Training Assistance for Dislocated Workers (Title III), State Education Coordination and Grants, and the Older Workers Program. Since the incidence of poverty and tie percentage of peopl.e over 65 in the District are relatively high, these programs are especially :i.rrportant to the Second Congressional District. 2-34 JOB TRAINING PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM SERVICE DELIVERY AREAS ~ Second Congressional District l.
