Article 1. Policies And Purposes of California Unemployment Insurance Code >> Division 3. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 4.5. >> Article 1.

It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this chapter, to establish and implement a program of comprehensive and coordinated employment and training planning in California in accordance with the federal Job Training Partnership Act, as amended. The Legislature recognizes the need for a new employment and training planning structure which will provide for comprehensive analysis of alternative expenditure possibilities for the fiscal resources available in this field. The basic principles of the system are as follows:
  (a) That the employment and training needs at the local, regional, and state levels, be addressed.
  (b) That the expenditure of available funds meets the needs at the local level.
  (c) That employment and training programs be integrated into a uniform employment and training services planning system within substate regions.
  (d) That a uniform planning system shall coordinate employment and training programs and eliminate duplication of programs among state and local agencies.
  (e) That decisionmaking be decentralized, insofar as is practicable, to the governmental level closest to the people.
