**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

The Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College Career Training (TAACCCT) grants program provides community colleges and other eligible institutions of higher education with funds to expand and improve their ability to deliver education and career training programs that can be completed in two years or less and are suited for workers who are eligible for training under the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers program. TAACCCT-funded programs assist participants in acquiring the skills, degrees, and credentials needed employment while also meeting the needs of employers for skilled workers. A total of 185 grants have been awarded with 49 in fiscal year 2011 (‘‘Round 1’’), 79 in fiscal year 2012 (‘‘Round 2’’), and 57 in fiscal year 2013 (‘‘Round 3’’).

The purpose of the evaluation, funded by the Chief Evaluation Office, is to evaluate the national TAACCCT grants program, using a mixed-method design including outcome analysis, formal implementation analysis, performance assessment, and evaluability assessment. All Round 2 and 3 grantees and several Round 1 grantees have independent third-party evaluations. The national evaluator is collaborating with grantees and their evaluators and will provide a nationwide assessment of
the overall initiative.

This package requests clearance for an online survey of all participating TAACCCT colleges and structured
fieldwork in the form of site visits to 10 Round 2 and 10 Round 3 grantees.

The online survey is aimed at developing a comprehensive description of grant activities undertaken by participating TAACCCT colleges, as well as assessing the extent to which grantees have achieved the main goals under the initiative. Unlike the planned site visits to a small select group of TAACCCT grants, the online survey will provide an opportunity to collect responses to survey questions from all colleges that are a part of the 178 Round 1–3 TAACCCT grants.

There are two primary data sources
for the structured fieldwork: Semistructured interviews and focus groups.
Interviews will be conducted with college administrators, program coordinators, faculty and instructional staff, industry and community partners, and employers. Field researchers will use a modular interview guide, organized by major topics that can be adapted based on the respondent’s knowledge base, to prompt discussions on the approaches used and experiencesof the grantees and stakeholders. Inperson interviews will provide firsthand about the experiences of those involved in planning, implementing, and participating in the programs and the
characteristics that contribute to success or lack of success in addressing and overcoming workforce challenges.

To understand the experiences and perspectives of the participants in the TAACCCT-funded activities, the research team will conduct focus groups of students at each site. Focus group questions will be open-ended and designed to elicit detailed responses. From the focus groups with program participants, researchers will learn about their perceptions regarding the training and service delivery approaches including, recruitment and orientation to the training or career path, supports provided before and after training,
educational attainment and employment, and satisfaction with the training program.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

Currently, the Department of Labor is soliciting comments concerning the
above data collection for the national evaluation of the TAACCCT grants program. Comments are requested to:

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. Background

When Congress overhauled the country’s public workforce system with the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) in 1998, its paramount goal was to replace America’s fragmented and inefficient patchwork of employment and training programs with a more streamlined and coordinated service delivery system. To that end, WIA required that local workforce investment boards (LWIBs)
establish centers—now known as American Job Centers (AJCs)—to provide ‘‘one-stop shopping’’ for customers seeking employment information and access to jobs, training, and related services. While all AJCs provide employment related services,
there is variation across centers in their organization, partnering arrangements, data reporting, funding, administration, and service delivery. The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) is sponsoring a comprehensive study to better understand the spectrum of institutional features that shape AJCs’ day-to-day operations and customer experiences. The goals of the Institutional Analysis of American Job Centers (AJCs) study are to systematically document key institutional characteristics of AJCs; present a comprehensive description of AJC funding, organization, administration and management, and service delivery structures and processes; and develop typologies of AJCs that capture the institutional
variations documented.

To achieve these goals, an in-depth institutional analysis will be conducted that systematically documents AJCs’ operations across 10 research domains: (1) Administrative structure; (2) partnerships; (3) performance and strategic management; (4) staffing; (5) physical environment; (6) Management Information S system capacity and the use of technology, including electronic tools and resources; (7) service delivery structure and linkages; (8) the program and service mix provided; (9) outreach; and (10) funding. In addition, the study
will consider external factors that are particularly important for understanding AJC structure, operations, policies, and processes.
These include LWIBs and state-level workforce agencies that have administrative and oversight responsibilities over AJCs.

This package requests clearance for: (1) Site visits to AJCs; (2) telephone
interviews with state workforce
administrators in states where site visits are conducted; and (3) a network analysis survey of selected study AJC partner organizations.

The site visits include semi-structured interviews, and observations of center operations and client flow. Interviews
with state workforce administrators in
each state in which there is a selectedAJC will be conducted to gather statelevel information that is relevant for understanding local-level AJC organization and operations. A network analysis of AJC partnerships will be conducted based on a brief survey administered to a subset of the AJCs
selected for site visits.

There are two primary data sources for the study: Semi-structuredinterviews and a survey. Semistructured telephone interviews will be
conducted with state workforce administrators. In-person interviews during the site visits will be conducted with AJC managers and key partner staff, AJC line staff, and LWIB staff; telephone interviews will be conducted in cases where an on-site meeting cannot be arranged. Field researchers will use a modular interview guide, organized by major topics that can be adapted based on the respondent’s knowledge base, to prompt discussions on topics of interest to the study.

To better understand relationships between the AJC partners, the research team will supplement information about AJC partnerships obtained through
semi-structured interviews with a network analysis survey of AJC partners that is distributed through email in the
form of an editable PDF. The network analysis survey is a brief, targeted tool used to explore the strength of relationships between the key entities (partners) that oversee service delivery within the AJC framework as part of the overall effort to describe and analyze the institutional characteristics of the AJC system. The short survey will systematically collect information on select elements of partner interactions (frequency of communication, level of collaboration, and referral flow).

II. Desired Focus of Comments
