DSB has continued to track and maintain an internal analysis of the WIOA performance measures. DSB uses annual reports, monthly reports, and the required federal reports to track and evaluate its performance throughout the program year. Using the ETA 9169 for PY17 and PY18, DSB was able to track the state performance on Measurable Skill Gains and work with ARS to develop a joint expected level for PY20 of 24% and PY21 of 25% for the state. DSB continues to track the employment rates for the program years to determine if they are improving and to measure the effectiveness of DSB’s strategies. The data DSB gathers from these reports is used in consultation with its Independent Commission and RSA, to develop a baseline of performance percentages for the agency to move forward in setting applicable performance standards under section 116 of WIOA.
