Illinois Government Research no. 52 1980: Coordinating CETA Programs in Illinois: Responsibility vs. Authority

The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze how effective the state of Illinois has been in coordinating employment and training programs mandated under the CETA legislation. To accomplish this task, we shall discuss briefly some of the key elements of the legislation, as well as describe the administrative mechanism used by the state to coordinate the intergovernmental CETA system. Second, we shall explain why the ability of the state to influence other actors in the manpower system is limited more by political considerations than by administrative devices.published or submitted for publicatio
