facilitate entry of students into the workforce. All agreements with
these national training contractors will be contracted at the national
level in accordance with policies issued by the Job Corps Director; the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR chapter 1); the DOL Acquisition
Regulation (48 CFR chapter 29); and, if CCCs, interagency agreements.
