This evaluation of programs conducted in fiscal 1978 under the Youth Employment and Demonstration Projects Act (YEDPA) consists of an overall picture of the 1978 YEDPA program experience and case studies of programs in 12 states. Findings and recommendations are presented concerning the implementation of YEDPA programs by Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) prime sponsors. Examined in a summary of the YEDPA program experience in fiscal 1978 are the evolving roles of local education agencies in local youth manpower programs, YEDPA clients in 1978, interaction of YEDPA and the Summer Program for Economically Disadvantaged Youth (SPEDY), local accountability, and the difficulties of spending on target in 1978.
