53-2-1101. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that:
     (1) many economically disadvantaged persons are unable to take their place in the economic mainstream of society because they lack the skills and training needed to obtain productive employment or to avoid long-term dependency on public assistance programs;
     (2) existing state and federal employment and training programs, including the work incentive program and the programs administered under Title II-A of the Job Training Partnership Act, have proved to be a multiple, uncoordinated response to the needs of the economically disadvantaged; and
     (3) a successful job training program will require a comprehensive, integrated range of nonduplicative employment and training services for economically disadvantaged persons that will result in economic self-sufficiency through placement of economically disadvantaged persons in long-term, sustainable employment.
