Certification Regarding Eligibility

To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor herein
presents the results of an investigation regarding certification
of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment assistance.

The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), are
satisfied if the following criteria are met:

(1) a significant number or proportion of the workers
in such workers' firm have become totally or partially
separated, or are threatened to become totally or
partially separated;

(2)(B)(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers'
firm to a foreign country in the production of articles
or supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; OR

(II) there has been an acquisition from a
foreign country by the workers' firm of
articles/services that are like or directly
competitive with those produced/supplied by
the workers' firm; AND

(ii) the shift/acquisition must have contributed
importantly to the workers' separation or
threat of separation.

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on September 6, 2019 on behalf of workers of DeVry
University, Inc., DeVry Central Group, a subsidiary of Cogswell
Education, LLC, including workers whose wages were reported
through DeVry/New York Inc. and DeVry Federal Work Study,
Naperville, Illinois (DeVry Central Group). The workers' firm is
engaged in activities related to the supply of IT support through
a national Help Desk available via telephone 24/7 and an on-site
Tech Bar. The subject worker group includes on-site leased
workers from Cloud9, Advanced Resources, Chase, LaSalle, Digital
People, Solution Partners, Randstad, Aerotek, Creative Circle,
24seven, SK Staffing Solutions, and Stefanini Group.

During the course of the investigation, information was
collected from the workers' firm and the petitioners.

Section 222(a)(1) has been met because a significant number
or proportion of the workers in such workers' firm have become
totally or partially separated, or are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.

Section 222(a)(2)(B) has been met because the workers' firm
has acquired from a foreign country services like or directly
competitive with services supplied by the workers which
contributed importantly to worker group separations at DeVry
Central Group.

Conclusion

After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of DeVry University, Inc.,
DeVry Central Group, a subsidiary of Cogswell Education, LLC,
including on-site leased workers from Cloud9, Advanced Resources,
Chase, LaSalle, Digital People, Solution Partners, Randstad,
Aerotek, Creative Circle, 24seven, SK Staffing Solutions, and
Stefanini Group, including workers whose wages were reported
through DeVry/New York Inc. and DeVry Federal Work Study,
Naperville, Illinois, who are engaged in activities related to the
supply of IT support through a national Help Desk available via
telephone 24/7 and an on-site Tech Bar meet the worker group
certification criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
§ 2272(a). In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2273, I make the following certification:

"All workers of DeVry University, Inc., DeVry Central Group,
a subsidiary of Cogswell Education, LLC, including on-site
leased workers from Cloud9, Advanced Resources, Chase,
LaSalle, Digital People, Solution Partners, Randstad,
Aerotek, Creative Circle, 24seven, SK Staffing Solutions, and
Stefanini Group, including workers whose wages were reported
through DeVry/New York Inc. and DeVry Federal Work Study,
Naperville, Illinois, who became totally or partially
separated from employment on or after September 3, 2018
through two years from the date of certification, and all
workers in the group threatened with total or partial
separation from employment on the date of certification
through two years from the date of certification, are
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance under Chapter 2
of Title II of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended."

Signed in Washington, D.C., this 5th day of February, 2021
