Pub. L. 102–235, §2, Dec. 12, 1991, 105 Stat. 1806, provided that:

‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

in poverty, and over half of those families are single

parent households headed by women;

‘‘(2) women stand to improve their economic security and independence through the training and other

services offered under the Job Training Partnership

Act [29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.];

‘‘(3) women participating under the Job Training

Partnership Act tend to be enrolled in programs for

traditionally female occupations;

‘‘(4) many of the Job Training Partnership Act programs that have low female enrollment levels are in

fields of work that are nontraditional for women;

‘‘(5) employment in traditionally male occupations

leads to higher wages, improved job security, and better long-range opportunities than employment in traditionally female-dominated fields;

‘‘(6) the long-term economic security of women is

served by increasing nontraditional employment opportunities for women; and

‘‘(7) older women reentering the work force may

have special needs in obtaining training and placement in occupations providing economic security.

Act [see Short Title of 1991 Amendment note above]

local levels of government aimed at providing a wider

range of opportunities for women under the Job

Training Partnership Act [29 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.];

‘‘(2) to provide incentives to establish programs

that will train, place, and retain women in nontraditional fields; and

resources available for training and placing women in

nontraditional employment.’’
