ETA Advisory File Text

- 1 - Attachment B Monthly Reporting Requirements for the WIA Youth Recovery Act Services The definitions and specifications for the data elements included in the form included below are based on the current WIA performance reporting system. The reporting requirements strive to keep the additional reporting burden for the state and local level to a minimum while ensuring that states report sufficient information that shows stakeholders the impact of the Recovery Act. The reporting definitions and specifications are the same for both Recovery Act youth and TANF youth participants although not every performance item is reported for TANF youth participants the shaded performance items in the TANF waiver reporting columns on the attached ETA form 9149 are not required for TANF participants . Description of Performance Indicators 1 Work Readiness Attainment Rate Defined as the percentage of participants in summer employment during the summer period of May 1 through September 30 or a non-summer work experience during the period October 1 through April 30 who attain Work Readiness based on the work readiness evaluation. Participants have until the end of their summer work experience to attain work readiness for the summer employment piece of this indicator. All applicable summer employment participants should be reported in this measure in the report ending September 30. Participants in non-summer work experiences have until April 30 the beginning of the subsequent summer period to attain work readiness for the work experience piece of this indicator. When setting work readiness goals Local Workforce Investment Areas LWIAs should follow the revised definition for work readiness skill goal provided below. Work Readiness Attainment Rate. The primary indicator for measuring youth performance under Recovery Act funding is the work readiness attainment rate. Under the Act local areas were given flexibility in designing their work readiness indicator. However to enhance the effectiveness of the measure the GAO report in September 2009 recommended that ETA provide additional guidance on how to measure work readiness of youth with a goal of improving the comparability and rigor of the measure. Additionally an ETA sponsored evaluation conducted by Mathematical Policy Research MPR concluded that guidance is necessary to better guide the states on the most appropriate sources of data types of skills and timing and frequency of youth assessments. In response ETA has changed the definition of the work readiness to be based on a worksite evaluation see below . There has been no change to the reporting - 2 - specification for this indicator. However the only relevant parts of the included reporting specification specific to the summer employment period May 1st September 30th are the parts in the numerator and denominator before the plus. In other words only the part in the numerator regarding goal type 1 and the part in the denominator regarding received summer employment are used during the summer employment period. The other parts of the reporting specification deal with work experiences outside of the summer period and are included in the case that the Recovery Act funding extends beyond the current summer period. Revised Methodology for Measuring Work Readiness. A worksite evaluation measuring performance in the workplace is required to assess work readiness for the work readiness indicator. Previous feedback has demonstrated that the most effective method of assessing work readiness is to require the worksite supervisor to observe and evaluate workplace performance. Having youth complete true false or multiple choice tests which only measure knowledge and not behavior is a less effective tool for measuring work readiness. This worksite evaluation must be conducted by the employer. The employer i.e. worksite supervisor who regularly observes performance at the worksite is in the best position to assess the quality of a young person s work performance. The worksite evaluation tool should focus on attaining a satisfactory level of workplace proficiency as opposed to a measurable increase or gain as previously defined in TEGL No. 17-05 . The attainment of proficiency or competency in the foundational and worksite-specific skills necessary to be successful in the workplace should be determined by the employer and should be based on the attainment of work behaviors outlined in the worksite evaluation tool. This tool should clearly state the overall criteria necessary to achieve workplace proficiency. For example worksite evaluation tools could state that work readiness proficiency can only be attained after a the supervisor indicates satisfactory performance and b a minimum numerical score for determining proficiency is achieved. See Attachment D for a sample work readiness evaluation tool developed based on tools used last summer. This attachment can serve as an optional template to use modify or incorporate into existing employer evaluations. Implementation of Employer Evaluation. Local area program staff should assist employers in making the youth evaluation process as simple and seamless as possible. This should include providing clear instructions on its use through employer orientations and utilizing worksite monitoring visits to address any outstanding procedural questions or concerns by the employer. Employers should review the tool with the youth on or prior to the first day of the work experience. Depending on the number of youth at a worksite and the employer s discretion this can be done as part of an employer-led group orientation or individually. At the conclusion each youth should have a clear understanding of the - 3 - work readiness skills for which they will be measured and how often they will be measured. It is recommended that employers conduct more than one evaluation throughout the course of the work experience. Many local areas have expressed multiple benefits of administering bi-weekly or mid-point assessments such as the ability for employers to offer youth constructive feedback formally recognize positive work performances address small issues before they become larger ones and formally communicate youth performance with local program staff to ensure added support. An additional benefit is local areas may be able to document the work readiness progress if a participant who has already proven to be proficient in work readiness leaves the program prior to completion. Design of Employer Evaluation. The tool should measure work readiness skills most desired by employers. This includes universal foundation skills such as work habits and professionalism i.e. attendance punctuality attitude appearance responsibility initiative teamwork and collaboration i.e. interacting with co-workers working in teams managing conflicts communication skills i.e. articulating thoughts clearly and effectively non-verbal communication written problem-solving critical thinking i.e. exercise sound reasoning communicate new ideas demonstrate creativity innovation . In addition the tool should allow for flexibility to include industry or job-specific skills as determined by the employer. The tool should have clearly-defined grading criteria. While many past worksite evaluation tools have utilized a 1 to 4 grading scale to measure youth performance not all tools have clearly defined the meaning and relevant value of each level. By defining the criteria for the skills and behaviors that a youth must demonstrate local areas can decrease employer subjectivity and increase grading consistency across local worksite evaluations. For example a grading scale with blank boxes labeled 1 unsatisfactory or 4 exemplary would be insufficient whereas language describing what constituted a 1 or a 4 would be more meaningful. See attachment D for an optional work readiness tool. Only the worksite evaluation will be required for the work readiness indicator. However local areas may still choose to utilize additional tools that might support work readiness training activities and promote greater worksite performance. This can include knowledge-based testing observational assessments of work readiness training web-based tools portfolio-building e.g. resumes business letters references etc. and any other relevant means of supporting worksite success. 2 Summer Employment Work Experience Completion Rate The summer employment work experience completion rate measures the rate of participant completion of summer employment during the summer period. Outside of the summer period this indicator measures the rate of participant completion of other non-summer work experiences. - 4 - The rate is the number of youth who complete their summer employment activity plus the number who complete a non-summer work experience numerator divided by the number of youth who participate in summer employment plus the number who participant in work experiences outside the summer months denominator . This indicator is intended to measure the percentage of participants who complete their entire summer work experience or their non-summer work experience without dropping out prior to the planned end date. States that receive a waiver to extend the work experience for 22-24 year olds beyond September 30 should show completion of the summer employment when it is completed even if it is beyond the summer months. If participants participate in two different work experiences the state should show completion when they ended the first and subsequently the second when it is completed. This measure is only reported for Recovery Act youth participants. Additional Clarification on Reporting Who should be included on the monthly supplemental Recovery Act reports and who should be included on the regular WIA Youth reports WIASRD annual report and quarterly report All youth served with any Recovery Act funds are to be reported on the supplemental monthly report. Any youth who is served by both Recovery Act funds and regular WIA Youth funds is required to be reported in the supplemental monthly report and in the regular WIA reports WIASRD annual report quarterly report . Any youth who is served between May 1 and September 30 the summer period and participates only in summer employment should only be included on the supplemental monthly report. Youth aged 22 to 24 years old are an exception. Please see explanation below. Which performance measures are required for youth in Recovery-Act funded activities and non- Recovery-Act funded activities If youth are only served between May 1 and September 30 the summer period the only performance indicators required for these youth are the work readiness indicator and the summer employment work experience completion rate. These youth would not be reported in the regular WIA Youth reports WIASRD quarterly or annual reports regardless of service mix. If a youth served with Recovery Act funds does not participate in summer employment or is served before May 1 or beyond September 30 he she would also be included in the regular WIA reports WIASRD annual report quarterly report and be subject to the full set of WIA Youth measures or youth common measures for those states that have a waiver to report common performance measure outcomes only. - 5 - How should states report on youth aged 22 to 24 years old who fall outside the age eligibility for the regular WIA Youth eligibility Since youth aged 22 to 24 years old fall outside the age eligibility for the regular WIA Youth eligibility they should not be included in the regular WIA Youth reports regardless of service mix or the timeframe in which they receive services. ETA encourages states and or local areas who serve 22 to 24 years old youth beyond the summer period to co-enroll them in a WIA Adult and or Dislocated Worker program when appropriate. If such youth are co-enrolled in the WIA Adult Program they would be reported through the WIA Adult performance measures. If such youth are co-enrolled in the WIA Dislocated Worker program they would be reported through the WIA Dislocated Worker performance measures. What is the definition of summer employment for reporting purposes As defined in TEGL 14-08 summer employment may include any set of allowable WIA Youth services that occur during the above referenced summer months as long as it includes a work experience component. As a result performance item number 11 number of participants placed in summer employment should contain only counts of youth that participated in summer employment during the period May 1 through September 30. What is the definition of work experience for reporting purposes Work experience is defined under WIA regulations at 20 CFR 664.460. How should states report the number of participants placed in work experiences outside the summer months Performance item number 12 number of participants placed in work experience outside of the summer months counts the number of youth participating in a work experience outside the summer months. This previously included those participants that who had a summer work experience that was extended beyond September 30 via the expired waiver. Will the denominators for the summer work experience completion rate and the percentage of participants in summer employment work experience who attain a work readiness skill goal equal the sum of the number of participants placed in summer employment and the number of participants placed in a work experience outside the summer months The sum of performance item number 11 number of participants placed in summer employment and performance item 12 number of participants placed in work experience outside of the summer months will not necessarily equal the denominators for the leading indicators for waiver states. This is due to performance item 12 including summer employment participants that extend their summer employment experiences beyond September 30th. The denominators for the leading indicators do not count the waiver-related - 6 - extension of the summer work experiences as work experiences outside the summer months. Performance item number 14 number of participants receiving employment services has been changed to number of participants transitioning into unsubsidized employment. This change provides a measure of the number of youths that transition into unsubsidized employment. - 7 - ATTACHMENT B YOUTH SERVED WITH WIA RECOVERY ACT RESOURCES MONTHLY REPORT DEFINITIONS - 8 - Performance Item Definition A.
