(a) The Legislature recognizes that the Tourist Industry Job Corps Program is an essential investment in human capital in a vital industry. In order to determine whether that investment has been productive, the Legislature finds that it is essential that criteria for measuring the return on this investment be developed. In order to determine whether these basic measures are achieved, the Commission, prior to implementation of the program, shall prescribe standards on the basis of appropriate factors which may include:
(1) Attainment of recognized employment competencies prescribed by local educational and employer community;
(2) Post secondary school completion, or the equivalent thereof; (3) Placement in unsubsidized employment following the
completion of training activities provided under this Chapter.

(b) The Commission may modify the performance standards under this Section not more than once every two (2) fiscal years, and such modification shall not be retroactive.
(c) The Commission shall provide technical assistance to programs which do not meet performance criteria. If failure to meet performance standards persists for a second year, the Commission shall impose a reorganization plan. Such plan may restructure the program delivery system, prohibit the use of designated employers, worksites or service providers, or make such other changes as the Commission deems necessary to improve program performance.

(d) The Governor shall, not later than ninety (90) days after the enactment of the acceptance of the plan by the Legislature in accordance with Subsection (b)(3) of § 43108 of this Chapter, implement performance standards for the first program year under this Chapter to measure the results of participation in the program to achieve the goals set forth in this Section.
