APPENDIX B Job Training Program GeOrgia's Job Training Program is a partnership between business and governrrent designed to train and errploy econanically disadvantaged and dislocated workers. '!he concept is realized through sixteen Service Delivery Areas (SDAs), each with a Private Industry Council (PIC). '!he PICs consisting of business and local camunity leaders, are responsible to identify errploynent and training needs, to plan programs to neet these needs, and to oversee their operation. Four Service Delivery Areas, 1, 3, 5, and 16, are operating in the Sixth Congressional District. In addition, the Jobs Training Program funds stateside programs that benefit the District. Grant awards in the arrount of $777,925 were made to specific service providers within the District in 1984. '!his arrount does not include matching funds that ~ local PICs ITUlSt provide. Also, another $2,719,788 was awarded in 1984 to statewide agencies, such as the Georgia Depart:Irent of Labor. '!he statewide programs that serve the District are: EIrploYnent Training Assistance for Dislocated WOrkers (Title III), State Education Coordination and Grants, and ~ Older WOrkers Program. since the percentage of people in the 25-34 age group in the District is high, these programs are i.nportant to the Sixth Congressional District.
