Overarching Changes in WIOAProgram Silos are Diminished
1/16/2015
All Core Programs funded under WIOA share planning at the state and local levels.
All Core Programs funded under WIOA primarily share the same Performance Indicators and Reporting Requirements
All Core Programs funded under WIOA share some infrastructure costs for the One-Stop System.
(If disputed locally, Maximum 1.5% of overall allocation for Adult Basic Skills, could be much lower)
Workforce programs under WIA focused on Job outcomes; WIOA is focused on Jobs and Credentials as outcomes.
Overarching Changes in WIOA Jobs to Careers
1/16/2015
Targets good jobs with growth potential
Focus on Career Pathways as an important vehicle to move individuals from a starting job to a sustainable
wage job. Career Pathways as defined in WIOA are not
precisely aligned with current Career Pathways in OR.
Recognition of the value of credentials across all core programs
Focus on “Earn and Learn” strategies, including apprenticeships, work-based training, etc.
Overarching Changes in WIOAConsistent and Coordinated “Intake” and “Exit” Information
1/16/2015
All Core Programs will have “enrollment” information that must be consistent across the programs in order to track progress on shared performance outcomes.
All Core Programs will likely have additional “enrollment” information specific to federal, state and/or institutional requirements and program needs.
“Exit” date is critical/linked to performance indicators. Exit dates for students may need to be coordinated across Core Programs in many cases.
WIOA – Shared Planning
1/16/2015
Four-year Unified State Plan involves shared planning among Core Program Partners. Combined State Plan involves shared planning among Core State Partners and additional partner(s) added at Governor’s discretion.
Combined State Plan may add Carl Perkins, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), Veterans Employment and Training Services, Employment & Training programs through HUD, food & nutrition, Community Services Block Grant and others. (11 federal options)
WIOA – Shared Planning
1/16/2015
Unified or Combined State Plan must include goals, objectives, and strategies for preparing an educated and skilled workforce.
State Plan must be informed by: An analysis of the current workforce
Descriptions of the state’s delivery system
Perspectives on economic conditions in the state
Analysis of employer needs, including what is required in key sectors
WIOA Shared Planning
1/16/2015
Assumes a local planning process that mirrors the State Plan requirements and product.
State negotiates performance indicator targets with local entities.
Unknown to what degree state and local planning processes may be consecutive or concurrent.
WIOA Shared Performance Measures
1/16/2015
ALL Core Programs share these measures: Employment rate in 2nd and 4th quarters after exit
Median Earnings in 2nd quarter after exit
Percentage of participants (not only exiters) who, Are in a program leading to either: A postsecondary credential, or employment
Percentage of participants who, during participation or within 1 year after exit, either:
Obtained postsecondary credential
Obtained secondary school diploma/GED AND were employed 2nd quarter after exit OR enrolled in a postsecondary credential program leading to a certificate within one year.
WIOA Shared Performance Measures
1/16/2015
An Effectiveness Indicator(s) for employer services will be developed by DOL/DOE by 2016 – final shared measure
All measures required and formal target negotiation for: Adult, Dislocated Worker, Vocational Rehabilitation, and Adult Basic Skills
Youth, except employment measures also count further education and training participation
Wagner-Peyser, except not subject to credential nor skill gain measures
The measures, but not target setting, apply to: Migrant & Seasonal Farmworker, Job Corps, Native American Programs and YouthBuild.
WIOA Shared Performance Measures
1/16/2015
States will negotiate two years of state targets in each even-numbered year, starting in 2016.
States will negotiate local targets with local Workforce Development Boards based on state targets.
WIOA codifies use of federal statistical regression models in target setting.
WIOA Shared Performance Measures
1/16/2015
At State level, failure to meet targets for one year
triggers technical assistance requirement.
At State level, failure to meet targets on a continuing basis results in a reduction of Governor’s discretionary and administrative funds from 15% to 10%
Unknown how failure to meet performance targets may impact local areas that do not meet their negotiated targets.
Caution!! Caution!! Caution!!
1/16/2015
We know what is in the 800+ page WIOA bill. We DO NOT know how federal guidance and interpretations will influence how WIOA implementation occurs “on the ground”.
All current materials should be considered “best guesses” in terms of implications and impact. The goal is for people to at least be aware of what seems to be emerging. However,
some of the guesses may be proved wrong.
It is not too early to begin to consider how to prepare for WIOA. While Oregon Workforce Redesign efforts mean WF partners are well-aligned with WIOA, other partners are not as prepared.
What does WIOA mean for ABS Data Collection and Reporting?
Your Name Here
1/16/2015
Many More Unknowns than Knowns!
What We Know What We Don’t Know
1/16/2015
1. WIOA makes data collection and reporting much more important.
2. WIOA means ABS data will no longer be only within ABS “walls”.
3. “Enrollment” and “Exit” of ABS students could occur outside of ABS program.
1. How or where data will be collected (which data base(s), or what data will be collected.
2. How data will be reported outside ABS, or by whom.
3. How enrollment or exit will happen/who is responsible.
Many More Unknowns than Knowns!
What We Know What We Don’t Know
1/16/2015
1. WIOA will continue to require progress reporting on ABS students.
2. Outcomes for all ABS students will be reported for shared performance indicators.
1. Progress reporting may or may not come through NRS.
2. To what extent the state shared data system, PRISM, or the D4A system (formerly OCCURS) will cover performance reporting.
Many More Unknowns than Knowns!
What We Know What We Don’t Know
1/16/2015
GED attainment by ABS students will only “count” under WIOA if GED is followed by employment 2nd Quarter after exit or enrollment into a post-secondary credit Career Pathways certificate program that can be completed within a year.
What level of performance will be expected on this indicator.
Whether a year is defined as a calendar or an academic year.
What level of employment is required.
Assumptions About Data Collection and Reporting Under WIOA
1/16/2015
1. Who are our students?
WIOA will require that student status in relation to over a dozen “barriers to employment” is collected.
Very specific protocols for identifying which categorie(s) of barrier a student belongs in must be observed consistently across all programs.
Other “enrollment” information that needs to be consistent across ALL WIOA programs may also be required.
Assumption: How additional information about ABS students will be collected is unknown. It will likely involve others outside of ABS program.
Individuals with Barriers to Employment Categories
1/16/2015
Displaced homemakers
Low-income individuals
Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians
Individuals with disabilities
Older individuals
Ex-offenders
Homeless individuals
Youth who are or have aged out of foster care
English language learners
Eligible migrant and seasonal farmworkers
Individuals within 2 years of exhausting lifetime eligibility under Part A of the Social Security Act
Single parents, including single pregnant women
Long term unemployed
Other groups as the Governor determines
Assumptions about Data Collection and Reporting Under WIOA
1/16/2015
2. What Happens While Students Are With Us?
Progress reporting will still be required under WIOA.
May or may not be precisely the same as current NRS reporting.
Assumption: This is likely the area that will
continue to be largely an ABS only responsibility,
with fairly limited changes.
Assumptions About Data Collection and Reporting Under WIOA
1/16/2015
3.) Where Do ABS Students Go After They Leave
the ABS Program?
Currently, Post-ABS tracking is not an ABS program responsibility.
Currently, Post-ABS tracking for Title II is less extensive than it will be under WIOA.
Currently “EXIT” from Title II ABS program is clear and determined ONLY within ABS. It is likely that exit dates will need to be coordinated with One-Stop partners under WIOA.
Assumption: Data for follow-up of ABS students will be required from PRISM and D4A. Implementation of WIOA may require “start-up” coordination between ABS and those data systems that is more extensive than has been required in the past. This coordination could involve the ABS Director or others who work with ABS Data.
