MRC will continue to report data to RSA on these measures for PY2020 and further program years as specified in the final requirements for the WIOA Combined/Unified State Plan. Since the VR program only began reporting data for the common measures as of July 1, 2017, MRC only has initial data for PY2017 and PY2018 for Measurable Skills Gains and PY2018 for Employment Rate at 2nd Quarter After Exit and Median Earnings during 2nd Quarter After Exit, and for Effectiveness of Serving Employers. Data for the 4th Quarter After Exit Employment Rate and Credential Obtainment will be available after the completion of PY2019. MRC’s Analytics and Quality Assurance department will continue to analyze the data as it becomes available and create a report for management on the common measures. A data dashboard of this information will also be pursued to push data down to staff at area offices and to counselors as applicable.
