Non-Substantiative Change Request

OMB Control Number 1205-0542 – Student Safety Assessment (SSA) of Job Corps Centers

Expiration Date: 04/30/2027

Proposed Changes

To apply the implementation of Executive Order 14168 Defending Women to the Student Safety Assessment (SSA) based on the guidance provided.

The proposed changes include:

  • Change “Gender Identity. Do identify as: (options)” to “What is your Sex?” and deleted all options except for “Male” or “Female” in Question A1 under Section A. Demographics.

  • Change “Students respect each other’s differences (for example, gender, race, culture, religion, or sexual orientation)” to “Students respect each other's differences” in Question B3 under Section B. Your Experiences Regarding the Center’s Climate.

Purpose of Collection

The Office of Job Corps must monitor the safety of all Job Corps centers. As stated in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, Sec 159 (b)(2) and (f)(1), and Code of Federal Regulation §686.100, the program must evaluate the centers at least every three years and assess centers’ performance annually. An important part of the evaluation and assessment is ensuring operators provide a safe environment for students which is of paramount importance to the program.


The Student Safety Assessment (SSA) is a new instrument that partially replaces the current Student Satisfaction Survey (SSS). Whereas the SSS collected information about the student’s satisfaction with the program including safety, the SSA was developed to focus entirely on student safety. The SSA questions are about violence, drugs and alcohol availability and use on center, and the climate of the center. Job Corps students are afforded an opportunity through the SSA to express any concerns or issues about their safety and provide more information for federal managers and center operators to provide better oversight.
