To maintain a management information system designed to facilitate the
uniform compilation and analysis of programmatic data necessary for reporting,
monitoring and evaluation purposes. These records are not used for making
determinations about identifiable individuals.
The system will:
(1) Generate statistical reports that will present detailed information
on the aggregate characteristics of program participants, program activities
and outcomes. These data will be reported at the national and grantee levels;
and will allow the Department to respond to a variety of requests for specific
information regarding the scope of services and the nature of employment that
Youth Opportunity Grants are providing to their enrollees.
(2) Provide information that will enable the Department to monitor the
program at different levels (nationally, or at the grantee level) and to
provide feedback to localities on their progress in implementing their
grants.
(3) Provide a suitable national database to enable the Department to
provide technical guidance to local programs in establishing performance goals
for their service providers.
Disclosure to Youth Opportunity Grantees those records that are
relevant and necessary to allow for comparative self-analysis of their
programs' performance.
Disclosure to researchers and public interest groups those records that
are relevant and necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the overall program
and its various training components in serving different subgroups of the
eligible population.
Not applicable.

analysis outside the database manager's computer system will be purged of
participant identifiers. Published tables will be sufficiently aggregated to
prevent identification of any individual.
Data files will be retained indefinitely.
