790V Maryland Manual

The Job Training and Placement Administration
(JTPA) was established to provide organization,
coordination, and long-term planning for the total
employment and training system in Maryland.
These responsibilities are exercised through the
administration of federal Job Training Partnership
Act programs, the Maryland Job Service, and the
Apprenticeship and Training Council.

The Job Training Partnership Act programs
offer training and employment opportunities to
economically disadvantaged adults and youth and
to dislocated workers. Under the federal Act, the
State has administrative responsibility for the em-
ployment/training programs operated within the
State. These programs include vocational training,
counseling, and on-the-job training, as well as
summer programs such as the Maryland Youth
Conservation Corps (MYCC). They also include
those operated by local Service Delivery Areas/
Private Industry Councils (SDA/PIC).

In accordance with the federal law, the Gover-
nor designated ten 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
governing bodies, the Private Industry Councils
consist of representatives of community colleges,
local government, private industry, and State agen-
cies.
