A study sought to (1) determine the current and potential instructional application of computers in Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Titles II, III, and IV programs; and (2) present policy options that would increase the effective use of this technology in employment and training programs. Research methodology involved conducting an assessment of available data, obtaining information from individuals involved in JTPA, and preparing a baseline report. The study found various degrees of use of instructional applications of this technology in the four JTPA programs studied: in Title IIA, computers are used for both instructional management and computer-assisted instruction especially when serviced by large school districts or national service providers; in Title IIB, computer-assisted instruction is used more often than computer-managed instruction; in Title III Dislocated Worker programs, computer-related technology is seldom used; and under Title IV, computers are being used to provide at least some education or occupational training in more than 90 percent of all Job Corps centers. Barriers to effective use of computers in JTPA include lack of information, funding contraints, lack of staff development, lack of software designed for adults, and the school-JTPA relationship. Recommendations were made to create investment funding mechanisms to set up computer equipment and to create a national technology resource center.
