III. b. 4. A. Assessment of Core Programs

Describe how the core programs will be assessed each year based on State performance accountability measures described in section 116(b) of WIOA. This State assessment must include the quality, effectiveness, and improvement of programs broken down by local area or provider. Such state assessments should take into account local and regional planning goals.

Current Narrative:

Each of the core WIOA partners, including WorkForce WV, Adult Education, and the West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services, will be assessed based on the performance accountability measures to assess the quality, effectiveness and improvements of the programs by local area or provider. Core programs will be assessed each year primarily through the State performance accountability measures described in section 116(b) of WIOA. The assessments will be conducted at the state, local, and regional levels, while taking into account local/regional planning goals, as appropriate. The WV workforce development system “data warehouse” ensures that the state will have the capability to conduct assessments at various levels across programs in addition to assessments of the system as a whole. Assessments will help the state maintain focus on service quality, progress towards its goals, identify promising practices, and pinpoint areas in need of improvement.

Each core program will be assessed on the following performance measures from section 116(b) of WIOA:

-Employment (second quarter after exit) -Employment (fourth quarter after exit) -Median earnings (second quarter after exit) -Credential attainment rate -Measureable skills gains -Effectiveness in serving employers

Additional assessments may be conducted utilizing other measures, as appropriate.
