SURES =--solution It is recommended that the Cit•,? Commission adopt a Resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute agreements with Garces Conmercial Collece, Inc. and with the James E. Scott Co".:Lrtunity assc- ciation (JESCA), Inc. for crofessional training services in the areas of English for Sneakers of Other Lancuaces (ESOL) and Remedial Education, for the City's Comprehensive Job Training Program participants. On October 1, 1983 the City of Miami will begin operating its job training programs under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) which has replaced CETA. Under JTPA program operators will be required to meet minimum training and job placement performance standards. As a result, the South ".Florida Employment and Training Consortium has issued new reculaticns relative to the use of train- ing agents by JTPA program operators. The Consortium will be cuali- fving training agents, regulating their fees and establishing the number of participants that :^av be served by each training agent. Only participants who are certified by the Consortium as having attained specified competencies :--ill be eligible for job place- ment; therefore, the Cit:'s ability to meet the required place- ment levels will be affected ',y the performance of our traininc_ agents. If our trainina subcontractors fail to get ready for placement a sufficient number of participants, the Citv will not be able to recover all its program costs from the Consortium. This is a new situation that did not exist under CETA. Cur Comprehensive Job :'raining Program requires that participants be provided with English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and Remedial Education instruction.
