III. b. 6. B. Assessment of Participants’ Post-program Success

Describe how lead State agencies will use the workforce development system to assess the progress of participants who are exiting from core programs in entering, persisting in, and completing postsecondary education, or entering or remaining in employment. States may choose to set additional indicators of performance.

Current Narrative:

The Vermont core partners will work with the SWDB and its Operating Committee to use the workforce development system to assess participants’ post-program success. This may include frequent reporting to the Operating Committee on the common performance data reported by the core programs in compliance with WIOA § 116 and 20 C.F.R. § 677.155, as that data pertain to participants’ success after exit from the programs. The required frequency of the reports will be determined by the SWDB, taking into account any potential duplication with other performance reporting obligations for programs, given that Vermont is a single-area state and the SWDB also functions as the Local WDB. The specific performance measures that will be considered in assessing participants’ success will depend on the individual program and its reporting requirements, which may include:

• the percentage of participants who are in education or training activities, or unsubsidized employment during the second and fourth quarters after program exit,

• the percentage of participants enrolled in an education or training program (excluding those in OJT and customized training) who attained a recognized postsecondary credential or a secondary school diploma, or its recognized equivalent, during participation in or within one year after program exit.

Additionally, the core partner programs will provide post-program follow-up services as appropriate and in accordance with the particular program’s requirements. As part of the follow-up services, customer satisfaction will be monitored through the use of business and participant satisfaction surveys in order to help in analyzing participants’ post-program success.
