New Jersey Statutes Title 34. Labor and Workmen's Compensation 34 § 15C-8

(1) The percentage of trainees who are placed, following completion of the program, in employment in the occupation for which they are trained or who are enrolled for further education or training, if those enrollments are a goal of the program;

(2) The success of the program in sustaining or increasing the trainees' levels of earnings, based on the wage levels upon placement in employment, and the trainees' retention in employment; and

(3) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2005, c. 354.)

(4) The success of the program in facilitating the remedial instruction which the program is required to make available to trainees under standards established pursuant to section 14 of this act.  1

In establishing performance standards, the commission shall not use criteria which may adversely affect the assessment of a program because of any emphasis the program may have on long-term occupational training and instruction.

The commission shall establish dates by which each department administering workforce investment programs shall adopt the standards and guidelines for use in the planning, budgeting and administration of those programs.

The standards shall apply to a program which is State or federally funded except to the extent that application of the standards would prevent the program from receiving the federal funding.
