Current Narrative:

Missouri will use the workforce development system to assess the exiters from its core programs using direct results or proxy determinations depending upon the core program. The data for entering, persisting in, and completing postsecondary education or entering or remaining in employment will be the factors produced for each core program. This will be done using the state’s Workforce Longitudinal Data System (WLDS) during initial implementation. Missouri will not set additional indicators.

Each of the lead (Core) partner agencies will benefit from service referrals to workforce programs at Job Centers particularly because a customer registration case management system will be used. The data sets generated by this system will permit the assessment of the progress of participants while progressing through services and at exit. These will especially be informed by similar exit data from Core partners.

The implementation in Missouri also has the potential to benefit from having direct access to post-program data that could be achieved by the use of Missouri’s State Longitudinal Data System (SLDS). The partners have the option of participating in monthly SLDS meetings about common programs, research and data sharing needs and grant projects surrounding this research. The data warehouse is operated under the use of a governance agreement and a Memorandum of Understanding (Data Sharing Agreement). This system is available for use in research projects and agency staff have proposed moving forward with a pilot project to support the learning and opportunities to be gained from examining and developing recommendations based on this post-program data.
