The influence of demographic variables, barriers to employment, and type of training on employment outcomes of ex-offender (n = 521) and nonoffender (n = 734) trainees who terminated from Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) programs between July 1989 and June 1990 in Georgia is examined. Results from regression analyses indicate that ex-offender status had no influence on employment at termination or duringfollow-up. However, participants who were unemployed for 15 or more weeks prior to entry were less likely to have a job at termination and during follow-up. Participants who received employer-based training were more likely to have a job at termination and during follow-up.
