d. 2. Performance on the performance accountability indicators under Section 116 of WIOA for the most recently completed program year, reflecting actual and negotiated levels of performance. Explain any discrepancies in the actual and negotiated levels; and

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.

Outcome: BRS exceeded negotiated levels of performance for employment rate second quarter after exit, and employment rate fourth quarter after exit, at 60.4% (negotiated 51.3%) and 57.9% (negotiated 48.3%) respectively. BRS’ actual median earnings level exceeded the negotiated rate at $3,561.54 (negotiated $3,431). Additionally, BRS exceeded the negotiated performance level for credential rate with actual performance of 47.7% compared to the negotiated level of 20%. Finally, measurable skill gains exceeded negotiated level of performance at 65.2% (negotiated 63.8%). In summary, BRS exceeded all performance accountability indicators negotiated levels for PY22.
