Abstract | This review presents a summary of the research on displaced worker programs and implications and recommendations for practice that the research supports. Chapter I is an overview of the displaced worker problem. It considers the extent of worker displacement and job loss and summarizes future projections. Chapter II discusses existing programs for displaced workers. These federal programs are described: Job Training Partnership Act programs (including program elements, participation factors, and barriers to program implementation), Trade Adjustment Assistance, and the Employment Service. A section on nonfederal programs focuses on private sector programs, state programs, and community college and vocational-technical school projects. Chapter III offers recommendations as guidelines for actions that educational leaders and program designers can use to strengthen the capacity of educational institutions to serve the needs of adults in job and career transitions. It recommends that (1) educational institutions link with other community agencies; (2) the linkages should include information-sharing mechanisms to facilitate advance notice and early intervention; (3) private industry councils, vocational schools, and colleges should aggressively develop and market displaced worker, retraining, career advancement, and job search programs; and (4) educational institutions should focus on services that they can best provide.
