In accordance with federal law, the Governor
designated twelve local service delivery areas, which
consist of a county or group of counties. Each area
has a private industry council that decides what
particular employment and training services are
needed in its area. Appointed by local government,
the private industry councils consist of repre-
sentatives of community colleges, local govern-
ment, private industry and State agencies.
The Office of Employment Training also sup-
ports the Department of Human Resources'
management of the Job Opportunities and Basic
Skills Program. Created by the federal Family Sup-
port Act, the Program offers employment training,
education, employment support services, and job
placement to recipients of Aid to Families with
Dependent Children. The Office works with local
private industry councils that operate the Program
in conjunction with other local agencies of social
services, education, and economic development.
