As part of the program cessation, the Office of Job Corps (OJC) will ensure the secure and compliant disposition of all records in accordance with federal requirements and the guidelines established by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). This includes data, performance reports, financial documentation, and contractor deliverables. OJC will inventory and assess all existing physical and digital records to determine appropriate retention schedules, implement safeguards for personally identifiable information (PII), and ensure that academic transcripts, credentialing records, health records, and disciplinary files are preserved for future verification and access. This is particularly critical for former students, educational institutions, employers, and government agencies that may request documentation in Additionally, the Department will coordinate with NARA, the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), and legal counsel to ensure that all data systems are properly decommissioned, archived, or transferred in a manner that maintains data integrity and auditability. Data governance protocols will be enforced to ensure that all actions taken are documented, OJC will also issue internal guidance to Regional Offices and center operators to support standardized closeout procedures and ensure consistency across the program.
