We are finally starting to collect early performance data on WIOA outcomes! While there is still much work to do – both in ensuring more accurate and prompt reporting and in developing the system capabilities to support WIOA performance outcomes – we are excited to see the first information on how YouthBuild grantees are adjusting to these new metrics. While we hope for more improvement in the placement outcome, we are very excited to see early information on the Median Earnings and Measurable Skill Gains measures. However, we know this data still isn’t telling the true story, based on the analysis of the MIS Help Desk. We are hoping this review will trigger programs to take a more studied look at their own outcomes and reporting practices to ensure they are reporting fully. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the MIS Help Desk if you think you need more support or training to understand these new and complicated measures. The data shared below represents a strong start but we know YouthBuild can do better! ~ Jenn Smith, National YouthBuild Director, U. S. Department of Labor
