Data Entry Procedures for Participant Activities & Outcomes Data Entry Procedures for Participant Activities & Outcomes

 SKIES will be used for collecting participant data for the WIA 10% PY10 Aerospace program.  Procedures contained herein represent a recommended strategy for addressing the minimal data entry needed to properly document activities.  Workforce Development Councils should determine additional data requirements locally based upon project objectives.

 Aerospace participants will be enrolled in either: WIA 10% PY10 Adult Aerospace program WIA 10% PY10 DW Aerospace program WIA 10% PY10 Youth Aerospace program Program validation screen must be completed to enroll participants into the WIA 10% PY10 Aerospace program. Please update if old.  Caution: certain date fields are defaulted to today’s date. Staff must be sure to enter the actual date of the activity. ◦ Note: These projects are different from the WIA 10% SBCTC ADULT/DW/YOUTH AEROSPACE PROJECTs (PY09).

 Employment and earnings outcomes will be based upon Placement and follow up information- not the UI wage fields.  Aerospace program participants will be included in WIA Common Measures if the individuals are also co-enrolled in a WIA formula-funded program.  Co-enrollment in a WIA formula-funded program is recommended. WIA 10% Aerospace Program funds only the pre- screening of training candidates and cost of training - Occupational Skills Training. All other services such as; support services, job search assistance and placement activities, follow- up services, etc. must be provided through a WIA formula- funded program.

 Upon completion of the 11-week training, participants will receive a certificate issued by Boeing. Because Boeing is a major part of the aerospace industry, the certificate is being acknowledged as an industry-recognized credential for federal and State reporting purposes.  The program should be considered completed on the date the training ends. However, since employment in the aerospace industry is the desired outcome, it is recommended that you allow up to 90 days from the end of training to reflect entry into unsubsidized employment. If employment occurs within the ninety days, use the employment start date as the program completion date. If no employment is obtained within the ninety-day period, use the training end date as the program completion date.
