__________
* Sec. 102(b)(D)(iii) of WIOA
d. 2. P. i. II. Describe the Factors That Impeded the Achievement of the Goals and Priorities.
Current Narrative:
VRS achieved all of the performance indicators except RSA indicator 1.5: Consumer’s average wage compared to all other Minnesota workers. This indicator continues to be difficult to achieve because the salaries of youth entering employment for the first time are being compared to the salaries of long–term employees. Many jobs in Minnesota are unionized, and many of the jobs require a high level of skill such as medical professionals at the Mayo clinic and medical device manufacturing. The revised Goals and Priorities are designed to help address this.
