Current Narrative:

Michigan’s Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity received its second Workforce Data Quality Initiative grant during June 2015. Partner agencies, along with their data, are being added to our existing educational, wage, and workforce information to provide additional results. The efforts to link data between programs includes Vocational Rehabilitation, Career and Technical Education, General Educational Development systems, and quarterly Unemployment Insurance wage record data.

Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) — Michigan Rehabilitation Services (MRS) and Bureau of Services for Blind Persons (BSBP)

VR in Michigan utilize UI data to verify employment post exit when available. This is a preferred methodology for verifying employment. Both VR agencies have executed Data Sharing Agreements (DSAs) with the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency to access and use the UI data.
