In response to proposed federal Job Training 2000 legislation, which called for three elements--skill centers, performance-based certification, and vouchering--a series of six forums were held throughout the state of Idaho in 1992. The forums were conducted by a team of staff from the Departments of Employment, Health and Welfare, and Education, in conjunction with the six private industry councils in the state. About 200 persons, representing employers, program participants, members of various boards and councils, and service providers in the employment and training community, participated. The result of the hearings was that the underlying principles of Job Training 2000 were widely accepted, although there were a number of reservations with the details of the legislation--in particular, the governance structure which was considered to add to the administrative burden, the thought that the legislation detracted from the degree of coordination already in place, and what programs were excluded or included. The discussions on improving the existing service delivery system yielded the most exciting opportunities for partners in the employment and training system. The most widely requested improvement was better information sharing among agencies. The second major focus related to program design issues, reflecting increases in use of alternate delivery formats such as mentoring, tutors, and internships, and in promoting the use of current system options such as tech prep. Forum attendees identified transportation as the most needed support service. Suggestions were also made to improve public understanding of the need for highly skilled workers. At the conclusion of the forums, a workgroup was formed to try to find ways to implement the suggestions made during the study.
