Abstract: This is an ICR to conduct site visits to Job Corps centers and a survey of center directors for a process study of the Job Corps program. The study seeks to explore and identify associations between centers' practices and their performance on a range of relevant outcomes, including gains in foundational academic skills during students' time on center; completion of relevant academic and career technical programs; attainment of credentials; and placement and earnings after students leave the center. ETA expects that the study's results can be used for peer-to-peer learning, technical assistance and development of performance measurement systems.
