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 progress of participants who are exiting from the core programs will be assessed through follow up by the core programs that provided service. Furthermore, the Program and Performance Evaluation Committee (PPE) of the Arkansas Workforce Development Board will monitor outcomes through quarterly progress reports on the WIOA core measures.

State agencies, federal agencies, private companies and non–profits collect a vast amount of data that can be utilized by States in ensuring that their talent supply and demand are aligned. One valuable tool that combines and translates this data into useable information is a dashboard, which highlights important figures and visualizes large datasets in ways that users can easily digest and use to spur action. The PPE Committee will establish a performance dashboard that will review outcomes across core programs and eventually will include performance of all programs under this plan and may include performance standards outside of the core WIOA targets.
