  • II. Strategic Elements

    The Unified or Combined State Plan must include a Strategic Planning Elements section that analyzes the State’s current economic environment and identifies the State’s overall vision for its workforce development system. The required elements in this section allow the State to develop data-driven goals for preparing an educated and skilled workforce and to identify successful strategies for aligning workforce development programs. Unless otherwise noted, all Strategic Planning Elements apply to Combined State Plan partner programs included in the plan as well as to core programs.

    • b. State Strategic Vision and Goals

      The Unified or Combined State Plan must include the State’s strategic vision and goals for developing its workforce and meeting employer needs in order to support economic growth and economic self-sufficiency. This must include—

II. b. 3. Performance Goals

Using the table provided in Appendix 1, include the State's expected levels of performance relating to the performance accountability measures based on primary indicators of performance described in section 116(b)(2)(A) of WIOA. (This Strategic Planning element only applies to core programs.)

Current Narrative:

The core WIOA programs are working to develop a process for collecting data and reporting performance. Core programs will also assist state and local workforce boards to negotiate levels of performance. Those levels of performance will be reviewed and approved by the core program senior leadership, the state workforce board, and ultimately the governor. Data will be housed in the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) system for reporting by WIOA core programs. Performance levels will use the statistical model that is still under development by the federal departments of education and labor and take into consideration state and local economic factors including unemployment rates, industry sectors, and characteristics of participants entering the program (e.g., work history, work experience, educational / occupational skills attainment, literacy levels, disability status, etc.). The core measures include:

1. Percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during second quarter after exit

2. Percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during fourth quarter after exit

3. Median earnings of participants during second quarter after exit

4. Percentage of participants who obtain a postsecondary credential or secondary school diploma within 1 year after exit

5. Achievement of measureable skill gains toward credential or employment

6. Effectiveness in serving employers (These criteria will be jointly developed by secretaries of United States Department of Labor (USDOL) and United States Department of Education (USDOE)

Actual performance levels have not yet been established. They will be negotiated after the adoption of final regulations and the establishment of baseline data, where available.
