SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Job Corps program, as authorized 

by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) 

of 1998, is designed to serve low-income 

young women and men, 16 through 24, 

who are in need of additional career 

technical, educational and social skills 

training, and other support services in 

order to gain meaningful employment, 

return to school or enter the Armed 

Forces. Job Corps is operated by the 

Department of Labor through a 

nationwide network of 122 Job Corps 

centers. The program is primarily a 

residential program operating 24 hours 

per day, 7 days per week, with nonresident enrollees limited by legislation 

to 20 percent of national enrollment. 

These centers presently accommodate 

more than 60,000 students. To ensure 

that the centers are filled with youth 

who are low-income as well as capable 

of and committed to doing the work 

necessary to achieve the benefits of Job 

Corps, certain eligibility requirements 

have been established by the legislation. 

The purpose of this collection is to 

gather information about a student’s 

training and subsequent placement in a 

job, higher education or the military. It 

is used to evaluate overall program 

effectiveness. This form is critical to the 

program’s effectiveness evaluation 

process. It is the only form which 

documents a student’s post-center 

status. This form is completed by either 

the Job Corps center records staff or a 

career transition specialist for each 

student. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.
