BACKGROUND: On April 6, 1989 the Rural Service Delivery .Area Regional Private Industry Council (Regional PIC) met to discuss Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) 1989-90 training programs. The Regional PIC (Orange, Caswell , Randolph, Rockingham and Vance Counties) agreed to keep the same training program offerings (On-the-Job Training, Institutionalized Offenders Project, Pre-Employment Skills Training/Job Placement Dropout Prevention and the Summer Youth Employment Program) for the upcoming fiscal year. Additionally, the Regional PIC recommended that all fiscal year 1988-89 program operators with satisfactory performances continue operating the same programs for the 1989-90 fiscal year. The Employment Security Commission, operator of the OJT program, enrollments (number of participants served) were less than projected. The Regional PIC recommended the State Division of Employment and Training solicit training proposals for the OJT program. Although Employment Security Commission enrollment figures were low in April, current enrollment figures have improved significantly. On May 11 , 1989 Orange County PIC members met to review proposals and select a program operator for the 1989-90 OJT program. County PIC members reviewed proposals from the Employment Security Commission and the Joint Orange Chatham Community Action Agency. The Employment Security Commission was selected to operate the OJT program for fiscal year 1989-90.
