Maryland reviews the above results and utilizes them to enhance the workforce system. Specifically, MD Labor utilizes these figures to provide ongoing technical assistance for Local Areas, adult education providers, and partner programs. Evidence of this is reflected in coordinated training for DVOPs/LVERs regarding serving Veterans with SBE, the Office of Adult Education and Literacy Services offering a Virtual Training Institute twice annually to providers in order to discuss best practices that may lead to improved employment goals, and OWIP’s regular technical assistance to look at “High” and “Low” performance when Local Areas hover above or below 90 percent on metrics.
Additionally, the State utilizes this data to adapt strategies and request technical assistance. When Maryland recognized that very few adult learners were also enrolled in workforce programming via Title I, the State shifted its strategy and made a targeted investment in co-enrollment using Set Aside funds. Finally, on areas where the State may need improvement, MD Labor requests assistance from VETS, ETA, and/or outside organizations.
