Training and Employment Notice (TEN) No. 19-22

Summary: This guidance provides common language for interpreting reporting definition, types of training, reporting multiple trainings, and identifying areas where the various ETA programs differ. This enables more consistent tracking of trainings across grantees and across programs to facilitate making this data readily comparable. 

Purpose: Training and Employment Notice (TEN) No. 19-22 is intended to provide clarification and alignment of the reporting of training types in the Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL) and promote consistent and reliable data analysis across the DOL’s employment and training programs.

Background: The Department recognizes that there are significant variations across states and grantees in how training is reported for performance purposes. This is likely due to differing interpretations of what constitutes training, how to report multiple trainings, or how to differentiate training types when reporting performance outcomes. ETA has provided specific performance guidance and technical assistance through recent guidance such as Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 10-16, Change 2, TEGL No. 14-18, TELG No. 23-19, and other grant specific individualized technical assistance. However, there are no cross-program materials regarding how to interpret these reporting requirements. This notice is intended to supplement existing policy guidance and encourage more consistency in performance reporting as well as identify where specific grant programs differ. Consistent performance data allows ETA and grantees to accurately measure program progress and impact. 

Inquiries: Please direct inquiries to the appropriate Regional Office.
