Current Narrative:

DRS acknowledges the legal requirement to report on the performance accountability indicators under Section 116 of WIOA. However, data collection on the performance accountability indicators is only beginning, making a report of DRS performance impossible at this time. As DRS moves forward in its task to place individuals with disabilities into competitive, integrated employment in program year (PY) 2016, it will collect and monitor participant data in order to generate reports on:

–The percentage of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program;

–The percentage of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the fourth quarter after exit from the program;

–The median earnings of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program;

–The percentage of program participants who obtain a recognized postsecondary credential, or a secondary school diploma or its recognized equivalent, during participation in or within 1 year after exit from the program;

–The percentage of program participants who, during a program year, are in an education or training program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential or employment and who are achieving measurable skill gains toward such a credential or employment; and

–The indicators of effectiveness in serving employers.
