If the Council of the District of Columbia does not approve or disapprove the procedures and criteria by resolution within this 10-day period, the procedures and criteria shall be deemed approved.

The Council shall use the information obtained pursuant to subsection (c) of this section to assist in:

(2) Determining which providers of vocational training services to approve pursuant to subsection (a) of this section; and
(3) Evaluating the overall effectiveness of training funded by the program.
