WIOA Youth Performance

1. WIOA Youth Performance 18-19 PY

2. Youth Participant • Reporting Period – A reporting period is one program year. Program years run from July 1 through June 30th. • Definition of a Participant: reportable individual who receives services other than self-service or information-only services and has satisfied all applicable programmatic requirements including eligibility determination • For Youth this means: • Eligibility determination • Objective assessment • Individual service strategy • Received 1 of 14 youth program elements • Participation date isn’t until the last of these items occurs Note – All participants who exit the program without an exclusionary exit are included in performance.

3. exit Exclusionary Exit: An exclusionary exit occurs when a participant is not included in one or more performance calculations because they exit the program and stop receiving services for one or more of the following reasons: • Has become incarcerated or becomes a resident at a facility providing 24 hour support, such as a hospital or treatment center. • Has received medical treatment that is expected to last longer than 90 days. • Becomes deceased. • Is a member of a military reserve unit and is called to activity duty for 90 days. • Is in foster care and exits the program due to moving outside the subrecipient’s area*. Follow- up occurs 90 days after a participant has not received a service and all activity codes are closed. Case Managers do not have to follow-up with youth when a “exclusionary exit” occurs.

4. Exit • Program exit occurs when the participant no longer receives services for 90 days and has no additional services scheduled • The date of program exit is determined after 90 days of no services have elapsed and no future services are planned. At that point the date of program exit is applied retroactively to the last date of service. • The following services do not delay an exit: • Follow-up services • Self-service • Information-only services

5. Primary Indicators of Performance Six Primary Indicators of Performance: • Employment/Education/Training Rate 2nd Quarter after Exit • Employment/Education/Training Rate 4th Quarter after Exit • Median Earnings in the 2nd Quarter after Exit • Credential Attainment Rate • Measurable Skill Gains https://www.doleta.gov/performance/guidance/tools_commonmeasures.cfm

6. Employment/Education/Training Rate 2nd Quarter after Exit 1st Performance Measure

7. Employment/Education/Training Rate 2nd Quarter after Exit • % of participants in education or training activities, or in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit. • Successful outcomes include unsubsidized employment, secondary education, postsecondary education, and occupational skills trainingin 2ndquarter after exit • WIOA success in this indicator is only based on status in the 2nd quarter after exit regardless of status upon program entry.  • For example, if ISY is in high school at program entry and still in high school in the 2nd quarter after exit, they are a success in the indicator even though they were already in high school at program entry. • # employed or in education Q2 after exit • Total # exited during reporting period = Employment/Education/Training Rate Q2 After Exit

8. Q2 Employment Rate – 2nd Quarter After Exit (Youth) The % of Title I Youth participants who are in education or training activities, or in unsubsidized employment, during the second quarter after exit from the program. Numerator: Youth participants included in the denominator, who exited during the reporting period who are found to be employed through UI wage record match, Federal or military employment records, or supplemental wage information*, OR found to be enrolled in secondary education, postsecondary education, or occupational skills training in the second quarter after the exit quarter. ÷ Divided by Denominator: Total number of WIOA Title I Youth participants who exited during the reporting period that do not meet one of the exclusion reasons. • # employed or in education Q2 after exit Total # exited during reporting period Employment Rate Q2 After Exit Enrolled in secondary education Post-secondary education Occupational skills training = Employment/Education/Training Rate Q2 After Exit

9. Employment/Education/Training Rate 4th Quarter after Exit 2nd Performance Measure

10. Employment/Education/Training Rate 4th Quarter after Exit % of participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the fourth quarter after exit from the program. • Successful outcomes include unsubsidized employment, secondary education, postsecondary education, and occupational skills training in 4th quarter after exit • Success based solely on status in 4th quarter regardless of status at participation or in 2nd quarter –not a retention measure

11. Q4 Employment Rate – 4th Quarter After Exit (Youth) The percentage of Title I Youth participants who are in education or trainings activities, or in unsubsidized employment, during the fourth quarter after exit from the program. Numerator: Youth participants included in the denominator, who exited during the reporting period who are found to be employed through UI wage record match, Federal or military employment records, or supplemental wage information*, OR found to be enrolled in secondary education, postsecondary education, or occupational skills training in the fourthquarter after the exit quarter. ÷Divided by Denominator: Total number of WIOA Title I Youth participants who exited during the reporting period that do not meet one of the exclusion reasons. # employed or in education Q4 after exit Total # exited during reporting period Employment Rate Q4 After Exit Enrolled in secondary education Post-secondary education Occupational skills training https://performancereporting.workforcegps.org/resources/2018/08/13/13/33/Employment-Rate-2nd-and-4th-Quarter-E-Learning-Module = Employment/Education/Training Rate Q4 After Exit

12. Median Earnings in the 2ndQuarter after Exit 3rd performance Measure

13. Median Earnings in the 2ndQuarter after Exit • The median earnings of participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program. • Only includes those in unsubsidized employment in 2nd quarter after exit • Median is the number that is in the middle of the series of numbers, so that there is the same quantity of numbers above the median as there are below the median

14. Median Q2 Median Earnings – 2nd Quarter After Exit Median earnings of program participants who are in unsubsidized employment during the second quarter after exit from the program. Total quarterly earnings, for all participants employed in the second quarter after exit from any of the WIOA Core Programs, collected by a direct wage record match or supplemental wage information. The collected wages are listed in order from lowest to highest. The value in the middle of this list is the median earnings value. Exclusions from Median Earnings: 1. Participants who have exited and are not employed in the 2nd quarter after exit. 2. Participants who have excited a program and for whom earnings information is not yet available. 3. Participants who have exited from a program and who have $0 income. 4. Participants who have exited a program and are in subsidized employment. 5. Participants who meet on one of the exit exclusion reasons. 12, 3, 5 becomes 3, 5, 12. The middle digit is 5, therefore, the Median is 5. When there are an even amount of numbers, place them in numerical order, find the middle pair of numbers, add them together, and then divide their total by 2. For example: 3, 13, 7, 5 becomes 3, 5, 7, 13. So, 5 + 7 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 The middle digit is 6, therefore, the Median is 6. Example 1: 12, 3, 5 becomes 3, 5, 12. The middle digit is 5, therefore, the Median is 5. Example 2: When there are an even amount of numbers, place them in numerical order, find the middle pair of numbers, add them together, and then divide their total by 2. For example: 3, 13, 7, 5 becomes 3, 5, 7, 13. So, 5 + 7 = 12 ÷ 2 = 6 The middle digit is 6, therefore, the Median is 6. https://mahernet.adobeconnect.com/_a14339732/pn5ew3wnod8x/

29. MSG MEASURABLE SKILL GAINS % of participants who, during the program year, are in education or training programs that lead to a recognized postsecondary credential or employment and who are achieving measurable skills gains, defined as documented academic, technical, occupational, or other forms of progress towards such a credential or employment. Measurable Skills Gains is used to measure interim progress of participants who are enrolled in education or training services. Therefore, program entry triggers inclusion rather than program exit. However, if a participant exits the program and meets one of the exclusion reasons, they are not included in the measurable skills gains performance measure. Types of Measurable Skills Gains: 1. Documented postsecondary transcript, report card, or school documentation for a sufficient number of credit hours that shows a participant is meeting the State unit’s academic standards – a.
