This report describes dislocated worker programs operating in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. The findings presented are based on the following sources: two National Alliance of Business (NAB) surveys of state administrators of federally funded Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs (conducted in 1987 and 1988), data on JTPA Title III programs published by the U.S. Department of Labor, and material from studies conducted by organizations other than the NAB. Chapter 1 provides background information about the Title III program, eligibility requirements, federal allocation procedures, performance standards, oversight responsibilities, and available services. The second chapter covers JTPA Title III program participant characteristics and the various services provided to them. State dislocated worker programs are covered in Chapter 3, and state plant closing legislation and state-funded training for dislocated workers are examined in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 includes profiles of each state's Title III program. Each profile includes the name and address of a contact person; 1986 performance indicators; and information on program organizational arrangements, oversight responsibilities, distribution of funds and procedures for rapid response to plant closings, and related state legislation. An 11-item bibliography is included. (MN)
