SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background: The Chief Evaluation 

Office (CEO) and the Employment and 

Training Administration (ETA) in the 

U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) are 

partnering to commission an evaluation 

of the fourth round of the Strengthening 

Community Colleges Training Grants 

Program (SCC4). The program, which 

awarded grants to sixteen community 

college grantees, aims to enable 

community colleges to adopt and 

enhance evidence-based career 

pathways programs that lead to 

equitable access to employment 

opportunities in good jobs aligned with 

locally in-demand industries. The SCC4 

evaluation will shed light on which 

programs are effective for which types 

of students, why they are effective, and 

the core components that support 

success. In addition, SCC4 will build on 

existing evidence regarding successful 

programs in community college settings 

and advance the understanding of how 

career pathways programs promote 

equitable outcomes. The SCC4 

Evaluation includes two components: 

(1) an impact study to measure the 

effects of SCC4 grant program strategies 

on participant outcomes and (2) an 

implementation study to understand 

program implementation. The impact 

study will include both a quasiexperimental design (QED) and a 

randomized controlled trial (RCT) each 

with a subset of grantees. Impact study 

grantees were identified during an 

evaluability assessment in summer 

2024, during which they were assessed 

on a series of criteria including the 

potential number of enrolled students, 

interest in and feasibility of random 

assignment of students to treatment and 

control service groups, and a notable 

difference in the services available to 

treatment and control group students. 

Five community college sites from four 

grantees will be included in the RCT 

portion of the study. Twelve grantees 

will be included in the QED study. The 

implementation study will include all 

sixteen grantees and examine the 

context of SCC4 programs, including 

how grantees integrate employer 

perspectives and student voice to shape 

programming. The evaluation will occur 

over four years (2024 to 2028). The 

evaluation will rely on rigorous study 

procedures and high-quality data. To 

facilitate these studies, the evaluation 

will use several instruments, which will 

be used during site visits, phone calls, 

and surveys with SCC4-involved staff 

and participating students. 

This Federal Register Notice provides 

the opportunity to comment on the 

following proposed data collection 

instruments that the evaluation will use: 

Impact Study: 

1. Participant baseline survey and 

consent form. Survey of 6,000 impact 

study participants to collect basic 

demographic information, interest in 

receiving support services, and current 

employment and earnings information. 

2. Participant follow-up survey. 

Follow-up survey of 1,800 impact study 

participants focused on job quality, job 

characteristics, and overall well-being. 

3. Service receipt logs. As part of the 

impact study data, grantee staff will 

track information frequency and type of 

the services they provide to 

participants. Fifteen grantee staff across 

the five participating impact study sites, 

will be responsible for inputting 

information into these logs. 

Implementation Study: 

The implementation study will use 

the following data collections to 

understand the education and economic

context surrounding the program, the 

organization and administrative 

structure, recruitment and enrollment, 

partnerships, employer engagement and 

work-based learning, integrated 

academic and career learning, academic 

and career counseling, wrap-around 

services, and program sustainability. 

4. Grantee survey. Survey of a lead 

contact each of the 16 grantees to collect 

program information on service delivery 

models, staffing, partnerships, and the 

implementation of the main program 

elements. 

5. Semi-structured interview guide for 

college administrators and program 

directors. During the two rounds of site 

visits to impact study sites and phone 

calls with non-impact study sites calls, 

we will conduct one-on-one or small 

group, semi-structured interviews with 

up to 80 college administrators and 

program directors. 

6. Semi-structured interview guide for 

instructors and faculty. During the two 

rounds of site visits with impact study 

sites and phone calls with non-impact 

study sites, we will conduct one-on-one 

or small group, semi-structured 

interviews with up to 64 instructors and 

faculty for SCC4 programs. 

7. Semi-structured interview guide for 

SCC4 participants. During the two 

rounds of site visits with impact study 

sites and phone calls with non-impact 

study sites, we will conduct one-on-one 

or small group, semi-structured 

interviews with up to 64 SCC4 

participants. 

8. Semi-structured interview guide for 

college staff. During the two rounds of 

site visits with impact study sites and 

phone calls with non-impact study sites, 

we will conduct one-on-one or small 

group, semi-structured interviews with 

up to 80 college staff providing services 

to SCC4 students, such as staff in 

student support services or the 

admissions office. 

9. Semi-structured interview guide for 

external constituents. During the two 

rounds of site visits with impact study 

sites and phone calls with non-impact 

study sites, we will conduct one-on-one 

or small group, semi-structured 

interviews with up to 80 external 

constituents who may interact with 

SCC4 students, or support 

implementation of SCC4 programs, such 

as employer partners. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments: 

Currently, the Department of Labor is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

above data collection for the Sectoral 

Strategies and Employer Engagement 

Portfolio Program Evaluation. DOL is 

particularly interested in comments that 

do the following: 

Æ evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

Æ evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s burden estimate of the 

proposed information collection, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions; 

Æ enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

Æ 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— 

for example, permitting electronic 

submissions of responses. 

III. Current Actions: At this time, DOL 

is requesting clearance for the 

participant baseline survey and consent 

form, the participant follow-up survey, 

service receipt logs, the grantee survey, 

and semi-structured interview guides.
