required, several persons have cancelled their programs.
(b) Too many persons have requested approval of programs that
they are unable satisfactorily to pursue, either because
they do not have adequate academic and experience background,
or because offices requesting approval of such training can-
not make an adequate adjustment in the work responsibilities
of the individual, or increase his responsibilities after
training program has started. In both types of cases,
individuals have failed to complete approved programs.

and-area program. All three are JOTS. Additional efforts to obtain
