This guide is intended to assist states and service delivery areas (SDAs) in addressing the new oversight responsibilities and opportunities stipulated by the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) with respect to process evaluation. The first chapter provides an overview of the JTPA organizational system. Discussed next is the relationship among environment, governance, and the performance control system. The next four chapters deal with how to examine JTPA's mission, work, coordination, and social components. The final chapter covers interpreting findings. Appendixes include a JTPA implementation strategy and an explanation of why service delivery areas (SDAs) subcontract. A supplement entitled "Some Process Issues at the State Level" examines approaches to and methods of process evaluation. Appendixes to the supplement include discussions of the statewide JTPA service delivery system and cost-effectiveness analysis in an employment and training program. (MN)
