Refutes current political rhetoric that vilifies relatively effective programs such as the Comprehensive Employment & Training Act (CETA). CETA served millions of Americans from 1974 to 1983 & succeeded in placing women in job environments where real, transferable skills were acquired. Right-wing politicians, while recognizing the program's accomplishments, criticized it for not making greater gains & for serving the more educated segment of the welfare base, with both criticisms part of an effort to defund the Left. Public job training programs, through often innovative programs, should create jobs & provide education & training that respect the individual, offer voluntary participation, & qualify participants for labor market wages (Rose 1995). New reforms, however, supplant such programs with a limited "rapid attachment" design that forces workers into low-end jobs that lack benefits & long-term solutions. L. A. Hoffman
