Abstract: This information collection request would require direct recipients and State DOTs to collect specific information as required in the NOFO. The purpose of the collection is to ensure that the funds awarded per the approved proposal detailing specific activities and budget constraints are used for the intended purpose of the HCTP grant. The HCTP grants will continue to build on the lessons learned through the Highway Construction Workforce Program (HCWP) and the Strategic Workforce Development (SWD) Initiative. This opportunity represented $4,226,871 in funding available to applicants at no more than $300,000 for each award. This collection request, included in the NOFO for the HCTP Grant requirements, provides a resource to track the progress of the awarded programs through the period of performance of up to two years. The following performance measures are quarterly and are as follows: the number of entrants, the number of completed programs, the number of job placements, the median wages at time of hire and their progression at 180 days into the job placement, the number of trainees retained, and, if an educational institution, the number of enrollees in a particular curriculum. There are two remaining performance measures to be submitted annually. They are both related to educational institutions and the number of credentials attained with the corresponding skill gains in post-secondary educational opportunities. This information collection request would require the awardees to maintain records as their activities progress through the period of performance and afterwards for up to three years after the closing out of the project funded with the HCTP Grant money. The reporting will be quarterly and annually, respectively.
