Sec. 628a. Child welfare traineeships

    The Secretary may approve an application for a grant to a public or 
nonprofit institution for higher learning to provide traineeships with 
stipends under section 626(a)(1)(C) of this title only if the 
application--
        (1) provides assurances that each individual who receives a 
    stipend with such traineeship (in this section referred to as a 
    ``recipient'') will enter into an agreement with the institution 
    under which the recipient agrees--
            (A) to participate in training at a public or private 
        nonprofit child welfare agency on a regular basis (as determined 
        by the Secretary) for the period of the traineeship;
            (B) to be employed for a period of years equivalent to the 
        period of the traineeship, in a public or private nonprofit 
        child welfare agency in any State, within a period of time 
        (determined by the Secretary in accordance with regulations) 
        after completing the postsecondary education for which the 
        traineeship was awarded;
            (C) to furnish to the institution and the Secretary evidence 
        of compliance with subparagraphs (A) and (B); and
            (D) if the recipient fails to comply with subparagraph (A) 
        or (B) and does not qualify for any exception to this 
        subparagraph which the Secretary may prescribe in regulations, 
        to repay to the Secretary all (or an appropriately prorated 
        part) of the amount of the stipend, plus interest, and, if 
        applicable, reasonable collection fees (in accordance with 
        regulations promulgated by the Secretary);

        (2) provides assurances that the institution will--
            (A) enter into agreements with child welfare agencies for 
        onsite training of recipients;
            (B) permit an individual who is employed in the field of 
        child welfare services to apply for a traineeship with a stipend 
        if the traineeship furthers the progress of the individual 
        toward the completion of degree requirements; and
            (C) develop and implement a system that, for the 3-year 
        period that begins on the date any recipient completes a child 
        welfare services program of study, tracks the employment record 
        of the recipient, for the purpose of determining the percentage 
        of recipients who secure employment in the field of child 
        welfare services and remain employed in the field.
