The SGA indicates that training activities must lead to a credential. Does the credential have to be an associate’s degree?
No. Training under Community-Based Job Training Grants may lead to a variety of credentials, provided the credentials are industry-recognized and indicate a level of mastery and competence in a given field or function. The credential awarded to participants upon completion should be based on the type of training provided through the grant and the requirement of the targeted occupation, and should be selected based on consultations with industry partners. In cases where training provided under Community-Based Job Training Grants leads to a degree after the grant program is over, the credential required will be college credit for each course leading to an Associate’s or Applied Associate’s degree. Additional examples of appropriate credentials are provided in the SGA at 72 Fed. Reg. 44577 (August 8, 2007).
