Short Statement:
Revisions to this information collection include: (1) incorporating additional data points, (2) minimizing human error/inconsistencies,(3) promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) principles, and (4) anticipating the return to pre-COVID operations related to job placement. These changes enable career transition services staff to accurately capture occupation data related to Job Corps graduates’ employment outcomes. The addition of apprenticeship fields allows staff to capture data necessary to verify that placements are Registered Apprenticeships. The addition of unique employer codes allows for consistent employment data without human error to conduct accurate data analysis. Furthermore, the addition of DEIA data including preferred name, gender identity, and pronouns helps promote inclusive interactions between Job Corps staff and graduates. Lastly, in anticipation of the return to pre-COVID operations, projections have been calculated to reflect Form 678 average completion rate by contract staff in 2017 and 2018, as that period provides a more accurate representation of the projected burden. Based on the methodology employed to project the completion rate, there is a slight increase in the anticipated burden.
