    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:

3. PERFORMANCE GOALS

Proposed performance levels are in Appendix 1 and are subject to modification pending final agreement with the Secretary of Labor in conjunction with the Secretary of Education and approved by United States Department of Labor (USDOL).

In addition to the common performance measures described in Section 116(b)(2)(A), LWC will continue to track business-focused metrics as USDOL’s identifies standardized indicators for measuring effectiveness in serving employers. These additional measures are tracked at a statewide level rather than by LWDA and utilized for internal analytical purposes only.

PRIMARY DATA SOURCE

The primary source of information for this measure is data recorded in the Management Information Systems (MIS) system of the Louisiana Workforce Commission (LWC), HiRE. Services to employers are automatically recorded by HiRE and manually entered into HiRE by One-Stop Center staff. The HiRE system has the capability to have service codes added to indicate business market penetration activity.

Employer Penetration Rate (Percentage of employers using services out of all employers in the State.)

This approach tracks the percentage of employers who are using the core program services out of all employers represented in an area or State served by the public workforce system. One-Stop Centers will keep track of the number of establishments served within a program year, and States will collect that data and compare it to the aggregate number of employers in a given State and Parish(s).

Repeat Business Customers (Percentage of repeat employers using services within the previous three years)

This approach tracks the percentage of employers who receive services that use core program services more than once. This approach is useful in determining whether employers who receive services from the core programs are satisfied with those services and become repeat customers. This approach also assesses the workforce system’s ability to develop and maintain strong relationships with employers over extended periods of time.
