| Abstract | The objectives of this study were to (1) develop a methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of CETA, title I vocational and technical education classroom training in Florida by assessing the vast quality of cost and benefit data and the different ways in which these data are categorized, (2) use data to derive benefit-cost ratios, (3) examine the problems of State money being used in the form of support services for the CETA program and the distributional impact with respect to State Department of Education funds when Full Time Equivalencies are generated by CETA trainees, and (4) conduct a field test. The project staff limited its study to one area of the State, which included two prime sponsor counties and one county under the sponsorship of the Governor (a "balance of the State" county). Data gathered from the prime sponsors relating to the CETA training programs were used to derive benefit-cost ratios. The principal conclusion was that when measured on purely economic grounds the CETA title I vocational training programs are marginal. The two most important explanations offered for the findings were (1) the program is designed to try to reach the most unprepared, untrained clients possible, and (2) the recent dismal performance of the State's economy. Another finding brought out by the study was that full-time equivalent (FTE) vocational students receiving CETA funding support were not separated for accounting purposes from regular non-CETA FTE's. This full report of the study includes a detailed description of the procedures used in arriving at benefit-cost calculations for the CETA programs, and four appendixes also relating to program expenditures.
