Current Narrative:

Performance Data Team Missouri will use a Performance Data team for the assessment of the performance of core programs based on the ability of each agency to develop alignment of performance accountability measures described in Section 116(b) of WIOA. This team is composed of performance management managers and their staff support for each of the core programs.

The State Workforce Board has already asked for a periodic review of performance assessment reports so there may be a forum to gage success toward meeting performance measures. Through the use of the HUB model for effective and validated interagency referral, customers at some point will also be engaged at job centers, registered for appropriate programs and co-enrolled among workforce programs. Performance reporting will use this comprehensive case management performance reporting structure supplemented by additional reports each partner will have in place. All periodic reporting will incorporate local workforce area and regional planning goals.

Missouri is also pursuing the opportunity to use its State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS) for pilot testing and exploring additional integration of reporting. This SLDS was developed using a USDOL grant from the Workforce Data Quality Initiative. The warehouse remains functional and updated with selected data sets and it is governed by an established interagency SLDS data committee. A Memorandum of Understanding, or Data Sharing Agreement, is also in place and has been signed by the Governor’s Cabinet-level Core Partner Directors. The data warehouse has been proven effective in the confidential and secure linkage of data meeting the highest level of confidentiality safeguards, including the Federal Educational Right to Privacy Act.
