Abstract	Battelle Memorial Institute conducted outcome, net impact, and cost-benefit evaluations of six workforce training programs in Washington State for occupations that do not require a bachelor's degree: postsecondary workforce training at community and technical colleges; adult basic skills education at community and technical colleges; Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Title II-C funded services for low income youth; JTPA Title II-A for adults with barriers to employment; JTPA Title III funded services for dislocated workers; and secondary vocational-technical education at high schools and vocational skills centers. Survey populations included 1,650 former training participants, 1,900 employers, and 400 potential training participants who were not enrolled in one of the six programs. Major findings were as follows: (1) over 80% of employers who tried to hire vocationally certified workers had difficulty finding qualified applicants; (2) participants wanted better support services, especially job search assistance; (4) employers were generally satisfied with employees who had completed one of the programs studied; (3) overall results were positive for vocational education in high schools and community/technical colleges and for JTPA Title III; and (4) adult basic education and JTPA Title II results indicate the need for substantial changes. (Survey instruments are appended). (KC)
