About the Provider Report Card
The New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS) encourages jobseekers to conduct thorough and independent research on all potential training options in high demand occupations before deciding upon a specific course or program of courses.  The Report Card, which is available on the NYC Training Guide (www.nyc.gov/trainingguide), helps jobseekers and career advisors to make accurate and well-informed decisions when searching for the most appropriate training course or program leading to a job.

Training Provider Performance Requirements
Eligible Training Providers must be licensed by the appropriate New York State licensing body and must be in good standing on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL). 

Training Providers who receive Individual Training Grant vouchers will be evaluated for Report Card performance in order to continue to be eligible for ITG vouchers. Each course evaluated is expected to achieve a completion rate of 75%, based on the number of jobseekers who were projected to complete during the evaluation period, and a job placement rate of 50%, based on the number of unemployed jobseekers who were active in training and projected to complete during the evaluation period.

Monthly evaluations add up every 6 months to the official Report Card. For each course that receives 5 or more vouchers within the 6 month period the final score is displayed on the Training Guide. If a training provider does not meet the 75% completion and 50% placement will be ineligible to receive vouchers for a period of six months where the course will display a "Failed Report Card" stamp on the NYC Training Guide.

This information is publicly available in the NYC Training Guide at www.nyc.gov/trainingguide. The NYC Training Guide is an interactive, searchable database of courses with enhanced performance data at the individual course level. Users can search the database and compare similar training options to find the course(s) that best match their occupational goals.
