The SETC’s Performance Committee advises the SETC on performance standards for the workforce system. Local WDBs are required to have a One-Stop Committee to monitor performance of the workforce system in the local area and achievement of negotiated performance goals. In the performance review process, the SETC and local WDBs will use dashboards to monitor performance and make strategic mid-course corrections for the system.
