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.

Current Narrative:
Core WIOA program partners continue efforts to refine a process for collecting data and reporting performance. Core programs will assist state and local workforce development boards to negotiate levels of performance based on the statistical adjustment model. This model takes 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:
- Percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during second quarter after exit
- Percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during fourth quarter after exit
- Median earnings of participants during second quarter after exit
- Percentage of participants who obtain a postsecondary credential or secondary school diploma within one year after exit
- Achievement of measurable skill gains toward credential or employment
- Effectiveness in serving employers
Negotiated levels of performance are reviewed and approved by the core program senior leadership, the state workforce investment board and ultimately the governor. Data are housed in the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) system for quarterly and annual reporting by WIOA core program partners. Tables with updated performance and negotiated performance goals are in section III of this plan.
