``JOINT EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING CONFERENCE (JETT CON), JANUARY 9-11, 1996'' The United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration is sponsoring the Joint Employment and Training Conference (JETT CON) in Washington, DC, January 9-11, 1996 at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill, 400 New Jersey Avenue, NW. The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration is seeking vendors to exhibit at this conference. The purpose of this conference is to educate and inform federal, state, and local providers of employment and training services about how technology can help them to provide better, faster and more cost effective services to the public. Congress is changing the way the federal, state, and local employment and training system does business. Block grants and new legislation highlight the integration of services, requiring the expenditure of millions of dollars on technology over the next several years. If you offer technology that will improve efficiency in the areas of interest listed below, this conference will provide a unique opportunity to showcase your technology. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: assessment, career guidance, labor market information, education and training, self-registration, eligibility determination, case management/client tracking, distance learning, interactive multimedia, Internet access, and quality management/continuous improvement. The educational program is a critical and integral component of this conference. It will provide hands-on demonstrations and workshops designed to address innovative and practical solutions through the use of technology. Vendors will be able to interact with over 1000 decision-makers at the state and local levels who are committed to using innovative technology. They are ready to learn how technology can enhance their employment and training programs and what technology is available to help them.
