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: Based on actual survey response data from the existing collection, Job Corps estimates it will have 44,680 Job Corps exiters eligible to take the initial engagement survey, 43,720 eligible respondents in the second and fourth quarter surveys, plus 5,000 employer/institution respondents, yielding 93,400 total responses. This results in a burden of 21,538 hours. This number differs from the previous version of this ICR due to a mathematical error in the past version of this ICR.
