H-1B Job Training Grants — CFDA 17.268

H-1B training-grant obligations at $617.9M

USAspending.gov records $617,891,841.41 in obligations under CFDA 17.268. One hundred fifty-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4.04 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical training-grant invoice and not a cost per trainee.

The assistance-listing title is H-1B JOB TRAINING GRANTS. CFDA 17.268 is the identifier. Other Department of Labor WIOA, apprenticeship, or immigration-related listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $617.9M. Combining those codes would invent a combined job-training total this packet does not contain.

139 recipients on 153 award rows

One hundred thirty-nine recipients share 153 awards, or about 1.10 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $617,891,841.41 evenly would assign about $4.45 million per recipient. That density is a competitive-grantee fingerprint: almost one assistance row per named organization. The packet does not list the 139. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of community colleges or H-1B employers.

Forty-three states in the geographic count is a broad map. Training dollars follow grantee geography as coded, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award rows are not a visa census

Among Labor training listings, 17.268 is a low-row competitive file: 153 awards against 139 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of training programs” and a worse proxy for visas or completions. Recipients (139) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (153) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report trainees, occupations, or H-1B petitions. Citing 153 as visas would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states. One hundred fifty-three awards at about $4.04 million each is competitive-training architecture, not a visa ledger.

Obligations versus training outlays

The $617.9M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against H-1B Job Training Grants — are not in the packet. A grant file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 17.268 to size this H-1B Job Training Grants listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a WIOA, apprenticeship, or USCIS visa dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 17.268.

What the 17.268 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a trainee roster, not an employer directory, and not a visa log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $617,891,841.41. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 153 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 43 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to grantees.

H-1B Job Training Grants’ 43-state map and 139-recipient headcount together describe a competitive training book, not a visa-issuance ledger. A researcher comparing 17.268 with WIOA or apprenticeship codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $617.9M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 17.268 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 17.268 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other Labor listings. For 17.268 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 17.268’s 153 awards spread $617,891,841.41 across 139 recipients and 43 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.10 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Trainees, occupations, and H-1B petitions live in other Labor or USCIS series. Those rows are outside $617,891,841.41 unless they share CFDA 17.268. Quote 153 as assistance records, 139 as organizational payees, and 43 as the geographic count.
