§ 690.2. Findings and purposes
Currentness
(a) The General Assembly finds that there are persons who lack the academic and vocational education and training necessary to obtain and hold employment in the present-day economy, and that there is a need to:
(1) Utilize fully the potentials of many individuals who are currently unemployed, underemployed, or employed in jobs or industries which are being rendered technologically obsolete;
(2) Erase the impediments to the full utilization of manpower fostered by discrimination against non-white minority groups in education, training and job placement;
(3) Cooperate with private enterprise to provide vocational and related education and training to strengthen the economy of the Commonwealth; and
(4) Eliminate the conditions which doom persons and families to life-long unemployment, underemployment, and dependency upon the aid, care and support of welfare agencies.
(b) Pursuant to these findings, the General Assembly states that the purposes of this act are to:
(1) Authorize the establishment or support of programs to utilize all available manpower services;
(2) Provide the necessary services, programs, incentives, and opportunities to create full employment in the regular economy; and
(3) Develop useful skills through training, on-the-job supervision, and special work projects in order to create for individuals and their families financial independence, useful rules in the community, dignity and self-esteem.
