Occupations and Number of individuals to be Trained [list]:

Level of Training:
a. Pre-career ladder _____
b. Lower career ladder _____
c. Mid-career ladder _____
d. H-1B visa level (bachelor’s degree or equivalent, professionally recognized certificate training) _____

Note: Pre-Career Ladder training refers to training that is meant to prepare someone for development along a career path. This may include basic literacy classes, GED classes, basic computer skills training, ESL education, or other low level training that in and of itself will not prepare the student to hold a job on an H-1B level career ladder. Lower career ladder and mid-career level training is more advanced than pre-career ladder but still constitutes foundation preparation rather than training specifically addressing a specialty occupation at the H-1B visa level. The H-1B visa level requires “a theoretical and practical application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and attainment of a bachelor’s or higher degree in the specialty.”

Note: A general delineation of urban/rural is whether the geographic area served in within a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). If within a MSA, the area is considered urban, otherwise, rural.
