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:

In addition to making use of WIOA performance measures to assess the post-program success of WIOA participants, the State Workforce Investment Board will determine additional, specific longitudinal measures of socioeconomic mobility. Through the State Longitudinal Data System (LifeTracks), education, workforce, and other measures of well-being will be tracked not only in the second and fourth quarters after exit from WIOA-related services but also in the five to 10 years after exit to reveal economic and workforce trends, which will enable the state to more effectively compare actual outcomes with desired outcomes. Results for relevant measures will be available, in the aggregate, to all Mississippians via the LifeTracks online reporting website (LifeTracks.ms.gov) and will be used by the State Workforce Investment Board to further improve and coordinate Combined Plan Partner activities. In particular, this analysis will be used to ensure that combined activities support outcome improvements for all sub-populations, including veterans, persons with disabilities, at-risk youth, and other vulnerable Mississippians.
