YCC Performance and Reporting YCC Grantee Meeting July 20, 2016

Outline of Session Importance of Performance Accountability Performance Measures and Targets Data Snapshot through March 31, 2016

Importance of Performance and Reporting System To provide program operators and front- line staff with information for decision- making and continuous improvement To provide DOL with information to ensure program accountability, to assist in identifying TA needs, and to aid evaluation To demonstrate program success to stakeholders (community, Congress, etc)

Performance Measures The ultimate goal for this program is to ensure that all program completers: Graduate from high school with a high school diploma; Obtain a degree or industry-recognized credential in an H-1B industry or occupation (or are on the path to attaining one), and have earned college credits towards a degree in the selected high-growth H-1B industry or occupation; and Move into a positive placement following program participation that includes unsubsidized employment, post-secondary education, long-term occupational skills training, or a Registered Apprenticeship. Two Sets of Measures (short- and long-term): The short-term measures will serve as interim indicators of program progress that will help both grantees and DOL ensure that programs are on track for success. The long-term measures are more outcome-oriented and are a gauge of program success upon completion of the grant.

Target Setting Each of the 15 performance measures includes a performance target Purpose of targets: to give grantees and DOL a sense of whether they are successful in various aspects of the program Most of the performance measures have national targets Some of the measures (the ones included in the grantee submitted performance matrix) have grantee specific targets set based on individual grantee program models Grantee specific targets vary based on program year
