§  820.  Statement  of public policy.

Unless  such  persons  are  given  appropriate career and   related education and training, many of  them  and  their  families  are   doomed to lifelong unemployment or underemployment and dependency on the   aid,  care  and  support  of  the  welfare agencies of the state and its   political subdivisions; with appropriate career  and  related  education   and  training;  many  of  them  would  become qualified for occupational   categories which remain  unfilled  because  of  shortages  of  qualified   personnel.Accordingly,  it  is  the  purpose  of this act to authorize the state   government to develop programs  of  career  and  related  education  and   training  which will permit persons who face the hazards of unemployment   and  underemployment  to  develop  skills  which  are  useful   in   the   contemporary  economy  and to assist such persons to participate in such   programs.
