Current Narrative:
As local areas are able to set their own parameters for procurement of youth services, not all areas describe or request specific performance plans related to primary performance indicators in their Request for Proposal. However, some local areas list metrics of success to ensure providers meet or exceed goals, including pay for performance goals. Awards are then made to organizations possessing the demonstrated ability to perform. Some of these metrics include:
- As determined by USDOL and IDWD, performance goals include:
o placement in employment, education or training;
o employment, education or training retention;
o median earnings;
o credential rate;
o attainment of degree or certificate; or
o measureable skills gains
- Valid satisfactory record of past performance in delivering the proposed or similar services, including demonstrated quality of services and successful outcome rates from past programs (including non-WIA/WIOA programming)
- Ability to provide services that can lead to the achievement of competency standards for customers with identified barriers or deficiencies.
