Beginning in PY18, National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) grantees began reporting into the Workforce Integrated Performance System (WIPS). These grantees were the first discretionary grantees to make the transition. NFJP grantees have worked diligently to learn the Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL), adapt to WIOA definitions, and change their automated systems to meet reporting requirements. On March 25, 2019, ETA released TEGL 14-18, Aligning Performance Accountability Reporting, Definitions, and Policies Across Workforce Employment and Training Programs Administered by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), providing official guidance for 15 discretionary programs. This webinar focused on 3 topics:
Program Year 2019 Performance Targets: PY17 performance data will serve as the baseline for establishing national targets in PY19. Dr. Andrew Wiegand, President of Social Policy Research Associates discussed the PY17 annual data and described the methodology behind the regression model creating the baseline targets.
TEGL 14-18: This TEGL formalizes policy guidance on the WIOA primary indicators of performance across 15 programs, including NFJP. All career services and training grants started July 1, 2016 and are subject to this guidance.
The NFJP Program Office released two performance reporting technical assistance tools and a grants management resource tool. These tools summarize information and resources, and provide five different reporting scenarios for individuals receiving services under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and are available on the Agricultural Connection site on WorkforceGPS.
