Section 3 answers 14 basic questions about JTPA. Section 4 suggests possible actions a business can consider to support and participate in local job training programs. In section 5 hiring and training needs that can be met by JTPA are listed.

These include training and consulting services, conferences and seminars, employment and training publications, communications resources, and regional service offices.
