SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Partnership on Inclusive SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00083 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 30069 Apprenticeship (PIA) focuses on engagement and outreach strategies to promote and implement inclusive practices within apprenticeship programs, such as those registered with the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Office of Apprenticeship. These strategies aim to enable individuals with disabilities, including working-age youth and adults ages 16–64, to gain credentials and skills to succeed in growing industries. PIA also seeks to glean federal and state policy options through such outreach and engagement, which includes several stakeholder engagement and outreach activities. The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) intends to design and conduct a process evaluation of the DOL-funded PIA. The goal of this four-year study is to build an understanding of the experiences, barriers, and successes of PIA during the implementation of the partnership. The overall study is comprised of several components: (1) A knowledge development phase to understand what is currently known about inclusive apprenticeship programs, review the literature on inclusive apprenticeship, and analyze existing data on inclusive apprenticeship; (2) technical assistance to PIA and its partners to understand and enhance their use of data for process improvement; and (3) a process evaluation of the implementation of PIA. This Federal Register Notice provides the opportunity to comment on three proposed data collection instruments that will be used in the evaluations: 1. Survey of PIA Apprenticeship Intermediary Organizations (AIOs), partners, and community of practice members. Survey of up to 90 AIOs, partner organizations, and community of practice members to collect information on their role in PIA and their experiences with inclusive apprenticeship programs. 2. Topic guide for site visit interviews with AIO program staff and partners. Virtual semi-structured interviews with up to 12 program and partner staff for each of the approximately 6 AIOs partnering under PIA, beginning fall 2021. 3. Focus group guide for apprentices. Virtual semi-structured focus groups with up to 60 apprentices enrolled in inclusive apprenticeship programs, assuming that all ten invited apprentices at approximately 6 AIOs partnering under PIA agree to participate, beginning fall 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Partnership on Inclusive Apprenticeship 
(PIA) focuses on engagement and outreach strategies to promote and 
implement inclusive practices within apprenticeship programs, such as 
those registered with the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Office of 
Apprenticeship. These strategies aim to enable individuals with 
disabilities, including working-age youth and adults ages 16-64, to 
gain credentials and skills to succeed in growing industries. PIA also 
seeks to glean federal and state policy options through such outreach 
and engagement, which includes several stakeholder engagement and 
outreach activities. The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) 
of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) intends to design and conduct a 
process evaluation of the DOL-funded PIA. The goal of this four-year 
study is to build an understanding of the experiences, barriers, and 
successes of PIA during the implementation of the partnership.
    The overall study is comprised of several components: (1) A 
knowledge development phase to understand what is currently known about 
inclusive apprenticeship programs, review the literature on inclusive 
apprenticeship, and analyze existing data on inclusive apprenticeship; 
(2) technical assistance to PIA and its partners to understand and

partners, and community of practice members. Survey of up to 90 AIOs, 
partner organizations, and community of practice members to collect 
information on their role in PIA and their experiences with inclusive 
apprenticeship programs.
    2. Topic guide for site visit interviews with AIO program staff and 
partners. Virtual semi-structured interviews with up to 12 program and 
partner staff for each of the approximately 6 AIOs partnering under 
PIA, beginning fall 2021.
