III. b. 6. B. Assessment of Participants’ Post-program Success
Describe how lead State agencies will use the workforce development system to assess the progress of participants who are exiting from core programs in entering, persisting in, and completing postsecondary education, or entering or remaining in employment. States may choose to set additional indicators of performance.
Current Narrative:
The core workforce partners will utilize the WIOA Performance Measures for the Core Programs to monitor and improve all WIOA core programs. These performance measures include Employment (Second Quarter and Fourth Quarter after Exit), Median Earnings, Credential Attainment Rate, and Measurable Skill Gains. Performance for each of these measures will be segmented by Adults, Dislocated Workers, Youth, Adult Education, Wagner-Peyser, and Vocational Rehabilitation. State and local workforce boards will utilize these performance measures in measuring the progress of the core partners in their area. These measures will assist Oklahoma in determining the effectiveness of its workforce development system and allow the state to continuously improve this system. Effectiveness in Serving Employers is also tracked at the state level. Information from core partners are entered into OKJobMatch, and the type of services provided to employers are tracked.
The state will use the Eligible Training Provider (ETP) system to monitor the completion and employment rate of all participants receiving training services through the workforce system. The ability to review educational programs to ensure that participants are becoming employed in the occupations in which they are trained will assist both the educational system and the workforce system in determining the effectiveness of the training programs being developed and offered in our state. Programs eligible to receive workforce funding for the training of participants will be reviewed on a bi-annual basis and the programs not meeting performance levels set by the state will be removed.
