p. 3. The VR program’s performance on the performance accountability indicators under section 116 of WIOA
Current Narrative:
VR made necessary modifications to the data collection system to ensure new required data elements are tracked and collected, including post-exit data, and all data is included in the submission of quarterly RSA-911 reports. The goals outlined above helped to drive performance regarding median wages and employment rates, as well as measurable skill gains and credential attainment. In 2020, VR improved collection of data related to measurable skill gains and postsecondary credential attainment, with technical assistance from WINTAC. A webinar was held with statewide VR management staff to improve training and guidance to field staff on data collection needs related to core performance measures. VR is tracking employer engagement data in DWD’s INGage system, a joint effort with DWD. Tracking data for employer engagement in a single system across WIOA core programs allows for efficient and robust reporting of outcomes for this core performance indicator.
