Information on Prime Sponsor CETA Expenditures Related to Membership Organizations.

Abstract

GAO reviewed prime sponsor use of Comprehensive Employment and Training Act funds for activities related to membership organizations. This report contains information on: the Department of Labor's authority to permit prime sponsors to purchase memberships or services from membership organizations; prime sponsor expenditures of $1.8 million in fiscal year 1979 CETA funds for activities related to membership organizations; the variety of services membership organizations provide to prime sponsors; the benefits accruing to CETA participants from the various services; and applicable lobbying prohibitions and actions membership organizations have taken to comply with such prohibitions. Prime sponsors believe expenditures related to membership organizations are justified because the services they provide are worth the cost and are frequently more useful than those provided by Labor.
