Abstract: Congress and the Secretary of Labor will use the data collected with these instruments to assess the effectiveness of the Job Corps program in meeting its objectives under WIOA. The data collected will be used to fulfill the reporting requirements under Section 116(b)(2)(A)(i) and Section 159(c)(4) of WIOA. The Office of Job Corps will also incorporate these data into the Outcome Measurement System to evaluate the post-center outcomes of graduates and former enrollees. Job Corps will use the information about student outcomes and customer feedback about satisfaction with specific services to develop or refine policies to improve the delivery of educational and job training services to at-risk youth.

Short Statement: The most recent ICR, submitted in December 2015, estimated 48,300 total respondents to the survey, with a corresponding burden of 10,240 hours. For this ICR, Job Corps estimates it will have 49,200 former enrollee and graduate respondents in the second and fourth quarter surveys plus 5,000 employer/institution respondents, yielding a total of 93,400 total responses. This results in a burden of 21,700 hours, an increase of 11,460 hours. This increase in burden under WIOA is attributable to the requirement to survey all program participants, which produces a much larger pool than was produced under the WIA requirement to survey only placed graduates and former enrollees.
