Examples include United Way of America, neighborhood groups and organizations, community action agencies, community development corporations, vocational rehabilitation organizations, rehabilitation facilities (as defined in Section 7(10) of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), tribal governments, and agencies serving youth, persons with disabilities, displaced homemakers, or on-reservation Indians.

"Local elected officials (LEO)" means county supervisors, except with respect to contiguous municipal corporations with a population of 200,000 or more that serve a substantial part of a labor market, in which case the mayor of that municipality(ies) is also a "local elected official." LEOs must approve the local service delivery area's local training plans and modifications before they are submitted to the governor.

"Private industry council (PLC) " means the group of persons in a service delivery area appointed to oversee (review, monitor, and evaluate) the programs conducted pursuant to that service delivery area's local training plans. The PIC must also approve the local service delivery area's local training plans and modifications before they are submitted to the governor.
"Service delivery area (SDA) " means those regions in which the state is divided and through which job training services are delivered. Each SDA must have a PIC, a LEO 28E agreement, a LEO/PIC agreement, a job training plan, a grant recipient, an administrative entity, and service providers.
"Service provider" means any person, organization, or other entity which receives a contract (financial or nonfinancial) under JTPA through an SDA grant recipient or JTPA grantees or contractors to carry out substantive work (e.g., employment, training, support services, purchases of supplies or equipment).
"Subrecipient" means any person, organization or other entity which receives financial assistance under JTPA through an SDA grant recipient. In a service delivery area where the grant recipient and administrative entity are separate entities, the term "subrecipient" includes the administrative entity.
