The SGA indicates that training activities must result in a credential. Does the credential have to be an associates degree?
Training activities must result in credentials that are industry-recognized and indicate a level of mastery and competence in a given field or function. Please note, when using credentials, CBJTGs must follow the definition of credential and (if applicable) certificate in Attachment B to TEGL 17-05 on Common Measures, found at: http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/attach/TEGL17-05_AttachB.pdf. The credential awarded to participants upon completion should be based on the type of training provided through the grant and the requirements of the targeted occupation, and should be selected based on consultations with industry partners.
