Data-collection and reporting processes used for all programs and activities, including those present in one-stop centers.10
[10] For the PY 2016 state plan, descriptions of data collection and reporting processes need only include currently known indicators.
Current Narrative:
Missouri intends to accommodate the convenience of data entry and collection of data from job centers through the enterprise systems described in (A). Although the separate agencies have different data collection systems, Missouri Job Centers (MJC) benefit from a single data collection and database management software in MoJobs.
As noted above, partners have individual case management systems that track services, activities, and outcomes. For core partners, these systems collect program data that include performance accountability measures. The Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) programs adjusted their systems from the collection of standards and indicators data to the collection of data based on Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) indicators. These programs moved from annual to quarterly reporting and from fiscal year to program year reporting. To accomplish this move, not only were systems and technology changes necessary, staff training was required.
Agencies are working together in a Data Governance Committee that oversees the operation of data matching and extraction projects using a Statewide Longitudinal Data System composed of a functional data warehouse. The Data Governance Committee is also working with a contract software vendor to develop and deploy software for the Data Warehouse so that integrated reporting for basic outcomes are possible.
Though reporting on indicator 6, Effectiveness in Serving Employers, is not required at present, the core partners of Office of Workforce Development (OWD), Missouri Vocational Rehabilitation (MVR) and Rehabilitation Services for the Blind, (RSB) have worked through the Technology, Data, and Outcomes subcommittee, to utilize the Missouri Quarterly Census Employer Wage file. This allows MVR and RSB to document and report services provided to employers. MVR and RSB will then provide a report to OWD to include for the reporting of performance on indicator 6.
