RetrainMap / funding finder / Retraining ROI report
The third product
Retraining ROI report: what the listed programs cost, and what they produced
$39, one-time, for one target occupation and one state. The free funding finder shows a state's WIOA training list by occupation family. This report narrows it to the job you actually want: every listed program that trains for it, the outcomes its provider reported to the U.S. Department of Labor, ranked — and, if you tell us your current pay, a payback estimate per program. Read a complete sample free before spending anything.
What's inside
- Every program on your state's WIOA eligible-training-provider list that trains for your target occupation — matched on the occupation codes the provider reported; if none match exactly the report widens the net one step at a time and says so.
- Per program: completion rate, the share employed in the second quarter after exit, median quarterly earnings of those employed, program length, provider and city, and cost — out-of-pocket tuition and fees where reported, otherwise the average WIOA training-account dollars per participant. Ranked by reported employment; small cohorts flagged.
- Payback estimate when you give your current annual pay: cost divided by the monthly difference between completers' annualised median earnings and your figure — printed with its cost basis, and "n/a" with the reason when the arithmetic does not hold.
- How that set compares with the state's whole list — medians of employment, earnings and cost across everything the state reported.
- Where the funding decision is made — your American Job Center and the live list, with the federal regulation quoted; and, if you were laid off, the three clocks that started on your last day, quoted from the agencies.
- A source ledger — every figure's dataset, URL and fetch date; the federal data dictionary's own column definitions.
What it will not do: Your local job center decides eligibility — this shows what is on the list and what it cost and produced, not whether you will be approved. Earnings are one quarter for one past cohort, not a forecast for you; the payback column is arithmetic on that median and your own figure. Where the federal file is suppressed, the report prints a dash and says why.
How it differs from the free finder and the other two products

| Payback against your current pay | no | yes, per program, with its basis | no |
| Comparison with the state's whole list | no | yes | no |
| AI-exposure reading, adjacency finding | no | no — the $29 report | $29 report |

Coverage — read this before buying
The report is built from the Department of Labor's Training Provider Results index — 70,088 programs across every state as of the snapshot dated in the report; the site states the data reflect programs approved as of June 30, 2025 and outcomes for July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2025. Coverage varies by state and occupation: some states list thousands of programs, a few list almost none, and many programs carry suppressed cells. If no program on your state's list reports your occupation, the report says so and shows the nearest occupation group instead — it never invents a row. The sample shows exactly what you would get.

Why $39?
Comparable pay-per-report products over public data (demographics, site reports) sell at $59–149 and carry no outcomes at all. This one carries the outcomes and costs the providers reported to the federal government, matched to one occupation and ranked, with a payback estimate the comparables do not attempt. It is priced under them because it is built by software from public data and we say so.
Have the $29 report or Directions already?
Different question, different document. The report tells you where your current occupation stands and prices the routes out; Directions sequences the next 90 days; the ROI report tells you which of the listed programs for your target job produced what, and whether the arithmetic works at your pay. Buy them in any order.
What $39 is not
Not coaching, not a placement service, not a subscription, not a promise of funding. One document, generated by our software from the public record, that you could assemble yourself from trainingproviderresults.gov with a long evening and a spreadsheet.
