Current Narrative:
Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP)
One of Florida’s most successful innovations in evaluation and performance tracking is the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program established in FDOE. This program helps evaluate the effectiveness of postsecondary education and training programs, particularly vocational education and similar career preparation programs. The scope of groups to be tracked rapidly expanded to cover most job training and placement programs including WIOA, Wagner-Peyser (WP), Adult Education, Job Corps, Veterans, Welfare Transition (WT)/ TANF, SNAP, Apprenticeship, Reemployment Assistance (RA) claimants and ex-offenders. Nearly 600 groups or sub-cohorts are being tracked.
FETPIP follow-up data are electronically derived from Reemployment Assistance quarterly wage records, federal military and civilian personnel records, public assistance, incarceration/parole records and continued education rosters. This data informs Core Partner programs in completing quarterly and annual reports at the federal and state levels. Reports include extensive detail and longitudinal capabilities. Each group is tracked for at least two years. Many groups including high school graduates and drop outs, certificate programs and all levels of higher education are tracked over much longer periods. Quarterly reports detailing employment and public assistance status and outcomes are run and analyzed. For detailed information on FETPIP, including examples of annual outcome reports, please visit: http://fldoe.org/accountability/fl-edu-training-placement-info-program/.
FETPIP data are provided to LWDBs, enabling them to evaluate the strength of training programs offered throughout the state.
