Abstract: The 2014 Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act (WIOA) required the Office of Job Corps to collect and report specific post enrollment outcomes for eligible Job Corps participants beginning in Program Year (PY) 2016. The WIOA performance reporting requirements, which replaced those of the 1998 Workforce Investment Act (WIA), are designed to provide a common set of metrics to be reported by similar programs. WIOA substantially changed many outcome metrics for Job Corps compared to those required under WIA and provided new guidance on the definition of high performing and low performing centers. In order to collect the necessary information to meet the new WIOA reporting requirements, the Office of Job Corps revised its post enrollment data collection system (PEDC) in 2019, which primarily collects data through survey instruments.

Short Statement: The modules included in each instrument based on student type and timing of interview will now be represented in this supporting statement, and no longer represented as Appendix A. Appendix A (formerly Appendix B) will be changed to former Job Corps participants Quarter 2 Survey. Appendix B (formerly Appendix C) will be revised and renamed Continued Engagement Survey and will replace the Initial Engagement Survey. Appendix C will be changed to former Job Corps participants Quarter 4 Survey. Appendix D will be changed to Employer and Work-Based Learning Partner Satisfaction Survey. Job Corps developed the Employer and School Verification/Satisfaction at Quarter 4 as a possible way of collecting data for WIOA performance measure 6 (Effectiveness in Serving Employers). However, ETA and Job Corps decided to use the data from the existing Q2 and Q4 surveys for this measure. With this ICR submission, Job Corps is replacing the Employer and School Verification/Satisfaction at Q4 survey with the Employer and Work-Based Learning Partner Satisfaction Surveys. Appendix D has been restructured to assess the satisfaction of employers that provide former Job Corps participants with employment and work-based learning opportunities. All questions in Appendix D have been updated to reflect this change
