Abstract: This request is for a participant tracking system (PTS) for the Youth CareerConnect (YCC) Grants. In applying for the YCC grant program, grantees agreed to submit participant-level data and quarterly aggregate reports for individuals who receive services through YCC programs and their partnerships with entities administering the workforce investment system as established under Section 1169(b) and 117 of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), Local Education Agencies (LEA's), non-profit organizations with program model experience, education and training providers such as community colleges and other institutions of higher education and employer partners. The reports will include aggregate data on demographic characteristics, types of services received, placements, program outcomes, and follow-up status. Specifically, they will summarize data on participants who received core YCC program services, program enrollment, retention and credential rates, placement services, and other services essential to successful outcomes for YCC program participants. This ICR seeks approval for a new information collection to meet the reporting and record keeping requirements of the YCC grant program.
