Kansas Statutes Chapter 74. State Boards, Commissions and Authorities § 74-5067. Job training agencies; proposals for participation in programs; contractual agreements; performance criteria and qualifications; exemptions from certain requirements and restrictions

(a) Any job training agency may make and submit to the secretary proposals for participation in the KIT and KIR programs and may enter into contractual agreements with the secretary for the provision of training or retraining services under such programs.

(b) Contractual agreements shall be entered into with job training agencies only if the agencies can demonstrate a satisfactory record of performance in placement in and retention of employment by former trainees and that training provided by the agencies prepares trainees in a manner satisfactory to employers.

(c) Training and retraining services provided by job training agencies under the KIT and KIR programs are not subject to approval procedures or performance standards required under state law for regular training and retraining programs operated by such agencies. Service delivery area restrictions imposed upon the operation of regular training or retraining programs by job training agencies do not apply to training and retraining services provided by such agencies under the KIT and KIR programs. The secretary may prescribe appropriate performance criteria and qualifications and other standards for job training agencies under the KIT program or the KIR program, or both, for purposes of this act.
