(a) The Legislature recognizes that the Summer Youth Employment Program is an investment in human capital and not an expense. 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.

(b) In order to determine whether these basic measures are achieved, the Governor shall prescribe standards on the basis of appropriate factors which may include:

(1) the attainment of recognized employment competencies prescribed by the local educational and employer community;

(2) middle, secondary, and post-secondary school completion, or the equivalent thereof;

(3) enrollment in other training programs or apprenticeships, or enlistment in the Armed Forces; and
(4) where appropriate, placement in unsubsidized employment following the completion of training activities provided under this Chapter.
(c) The standards shall include provisions governing a representative period after program termination that is a reasonable indicator of post- program status.
(d) The Governor shall prescribe performance standards relating gross program expenditures to various performance measures.
(e) The Governor shall, not later than January 31, 1985, prescribe 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 subsection (b) of this Section.
(f) The Governor may modify the performance standards under this Section not more often than once every two fiscal years, and such modification shall not be retroactive.

CH. 21 SUMMER EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH

(g) The Governor shall provide technical assistance to programs which do not meet performance criteria. If the failure to meet performance standards persists for a second year, the Governor 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 Governor deems necessary to improve program performance. The Governor, in agreement with the Guam Council on Youth Affairs, may designate an alternate entity to administer the program in the Territory.
(h) The alternate administrative entity may be a newly formed private nonprofit organization, or any agency jointly selected by the Governor and the Guam Council on Youth Affairs.
