VET-TEC employment reports would measure graduates’ jobs after 180 days

VET-TEC reports would measure how many graduates have jobs 180 days after finishing training. The percentage would cover participants who completed VET-TEC training during the reporting year. The count would exclude jobs with the training provider itself. It would also exclude jobs teaching a substantially similar program for the provider’s parent organization or an affiliated organization. Each graduate’s employment would be measured on the date 180 days after that person completed training.

The secretary overseeing VET-TEC would make program reports available to the public. The public reporting requirement would apply to the VET-TEC program reports covered by this section. Separate rates for full-time work, part-time work, and self-employment would be reported as far as practical.

The secretary overseeing VET-TEC would gather and study feedback to evaluate and improve how the program runs. Feedback would come from VET-TEC participants and the GI Bill School Feedback Tool. The secretary would have to use the feedback to evaluate and improve the program’s operation. Feedback collection and analysis would continue on an ongoing basis.
