Introduction

Under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998, adult and dislocated job seekers who are eligible to receive training services have freedom of choice in selecting a training program from the State's Eligible Training Program list. A statewide Consumer Report System is mandated by the WIA in order to facilitate informed choice. Michigan's commitment extends far beyond compliance with the WIA.

Michigan's Consumer Report System is the Career Education Consumer Report (CECR). The Michigan CECR is a consumer-oriented Web site designed to provide the general public with useful and accurate information about education and training programs available throughout the state. See CECR at www.mycareereducation.org.

Michigan's CECR is an integrated, electronic gateway to the labor market for job seekers and employers. The general public will have access to the CECR directly through the Internet. Participants eligible for Individual Training Accounts (ITAs), employers, and other interested individuals will have access to the CECR through the Michigan Works! agencies (MWAs) and their Michigan Works! service centers.

To ensure that a broad range of providers is included in the eligible program list, training providers who wish to receive discretionary funds from the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth (MDLEG) will be required to post their program(s) on the CECR, whether or not they serve WIA-ITA eligible participants.

To be included in the CECR, schools must supply data on each program of study they wish to market through the Web site. The data will be electronically entered by the training provider via the Internet. Program descriptive information and performance data must be submitted for each training site.
