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:

Currently the state assesses eleven public workforce programs – including five of the six core EIOA programs – on first–year measures of employment, employment and/or further training, earnings, credentials, industry of employment, hours worked, and hourly wage. Longer term follow–up will be available through the Education Research and Data Centers P–20 Workforce longitudinal data system (SLDS). Decisions about selection, deletion or modification of additional indicators will depend on final definitions of the WIOA measures and the rules relating thereunto. The state also conducts periodic net impact and cost benefit econometric comparison group studies of many workforce system. These studies are conducted about every four years per state statute, and the next cycle will be modified to improve its applicability to assessing WOA implementation.
