Nixon proposes local control of job training programs
Nixon outlines a plan to repeal the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962 and the Economic Opportunity Act provisions. Localities would choose which programs to continue, with Neighborhood Youth Corps JOBS and CEP folded into broader authority. States with 100000+ population would receive direct funds and publish pledges for fiscal accountability. About 400 government units could be eligible. Small governments may form coalitions and earn a 10 percent area-wide cooperation bonus. Ten percent of the $2 billion would fund new pilots, a computerized job bank, and fiscal monitoring.
