Abstract: This ICR by the Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is for approval to implement new reporting requirements for the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program. ETA will require grantees to submit Quarterly Progress Reports with a narrative summary of at least two progress measures and at least two implementation measures identified by the grantee in their project work plan. Every fourth quarter, grantees will be required to submit an Annual Performance Report with standardized outcome measures that will include aggregate data for program participants and a comparison cohort of participants for the following seven outcome measures: entered employment rate, employment retention rate, average earnings, attainment of credits toward degree(s), attainment of certificate(s) (less than one year), attainment of certificate(s) (more than one year), and graduation rate for degree programs. These reports will help ETA gauge the effects of the TAACCCT grants, identify grantees that could serve as useful models, and target technical assistance appropriately.
