Current Narrative:

Core partners will be assessed by the SWDB and its Operating Committee based on their performance accountability measures described in section 116(b) of WIOA. Vermont has not set any additional indicators of performance referenced in section 116(b)(2)(B) as part of this Unified State Plan. Assessment of the core programs in Vermont will include a review of whether each core partner program is exceeding, meeting, or failing in their performance accountability measures. The SWDB will look at whether the State is meeting the common performance accountability measures across all programs for each indicator and across all indicators for each program. The required frequency of the reviews will be determined by the SWDB, taking into account any potential duplication with other performance reporting obligations for programs, given that Vermont is a single-area state and the SWDB also functions as the Local WDB. The SWDB may develop and maintain a reporting dashboard tool to optimize the collection and analysis of performance data. In instances where a core partner is failing to meet their performance accountability measures, the SWDB Operating Committee will work to provide technical assistance to improve the proficiency of the program as well as adjusting the program strategies as necessary. Additionally, the SWDB Operating Committee will develop customer satisfaction surveys to assess the effectiveness of the one-stop delivery system, including the programs offered through the system, to better understand the system’s strengths and weaknesses and identify areas of improvement.
