Please see the list of resources below that act as either policy guidance or technical assistance for H-1B grantees. You can find the link to those resources on the left side of this page in the “Related Content Section.”

• H-1B Grants Interim Reporting Guidance: Prior to the release of the web-based WIOA Integrated Performance System (WIPS) management information system (MIS), H-1B TechHire, SWFI, and AP grantees will be required to follow an interim reporting process for submitting quarterly progress reports. You can find the most current version of this reporting guidance and associated documents on the link above. 

• Suggested QNR for H-1B AP, SWFI and TechHire Grantees: The Quarterly Narrative Report (QNR) is a summary of grant activities that occurred during the reporting quarter.  This report provides ETA information on program activities including information that cannot easily be captured using data alone.
