“ Instead of maintaining a separate program to collect industry occupational information, it would be more efficient in terms of resources expended to merge the data collection phase of the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program with the ES 202 program.” … Florida’s Occupational Information and Delivery System, Technical Assistance Project, U.S. Department of Commerce, Project Number 04-06-01109, May 1975: Tallahassee Florida Regarding the wage record system: “The addition of a single data element, an occupational title, would provide the possibility for the most useful single data base in the State of Florida.” The Florida Occupational Information Coordinating Committee “A suggested approach to developing a comprehensive occupational information data base for Florida from existing data resource.” A concept paper, Florida Department of Labor and Employment Security, June 1981: Tallahassee Florida “ Priority should be given to examining the addition of occupational information to the UI Wage Report file.” Herndon, John, et al. Project to Coordinate Economic Development, Employment and Training: Report 1 Issues and Recommendations, Report to the Governor 1 of the EDIT Project, March 1982: Tallahassee Florida “The Unemployment Insurance Wage Report represents the best potential comprehensive source of occupational and wage information in the state, with the addition of occupational titles to the report.” This would be useful in: “labor market demand forecasting and analysis …economic analysis…evaluation and follow-up…” Polivka, Larry; et al. Vocational Education Study: Labor Market Demand Information in Florida: Policy Issues and Alternatives Office of the Governor, August 1982: Tallahassee Florida Key Background Studies and Recommendations

“Funds provided in Specific Appropriations 337A shall be used to conduct a study of the feasibility of implementing an automated system that matches social security numbers of persons completing vocational programs with wage, geographic, and occupational title data available through the Unemployment Insurance Wage Report and the Worker’s Compensation system.” Chapter 84-220 Laws of Florida, Specific Appropriation 337A: Tallahassee Florida Initial Legislative Direction Specific Appropriation 337A established two important precedents: Administrative records might have uses other than that which they were originally designed for; and, Education money went to the DLES under the tutelage of the FCOVE and the SJTCC with the DOE reporting back results;

15
FETPIP-Type Operations Use existing data resources Cheaper, more accurate, more complete, and with more capabilities, than traditional surveys Data are regarded as objective- non-judgmental Provide a basis for common core sets of outcome measures, comparisons, discussions of issues across many programs & operations Benefits
16
With such a system, what can you expect to hear? Part 1 Wow! You can do that? If I provide you with a set of student data can you…? How much will this cost me? Why should I participate in this?
17
With such a system, what can you expect to hear? Part 2 The System: is too slow is not done frequently enough doesn’t cover students without correct SSNs misses types of employment misses types of postsecondary education doesn’t cover the other, more important outcomes
18
Challenges (part 1) Administrative data are designed for purposes other than performance measurement Definitions, taxonomies may differ Time periods may differ What is measured may not be exactly what is desired Administrative data change over time Owners of Administrative Data have legal, ethical, proprietary obligations They won’t naturally want to share “Legal” beliefs may be conjured up Program interests may be different from those of technical staff The “owners” change over time
19
Challenges (part 2) Confidentiality of Information Requirements may be different for each data source The issue is complicated by legal issues as well as beliefs Beliefs/requirements may change over time Weakest Links The strength of a system of linked data sets is determined by the weakest of the data resources Opponents will focus on the weaknesses The data lag actual performance Support On going, reliable funding On going, reliable political support Cooperative attitude among stake holders All involved will change
20
What has worked for FETPIP? Statutory authority, provisions, including cross references Core funding from State General Revenue appropriated by the Legislature Persistently collaborate with legislative, executive staff Persistently collaborate with data owners, stakeholders in decisions about the mechanics of exchanges, reporting of results Constantly anticipate roles that the system can play in accountability, performance measurement, cost return analysis, evaluation Consistently work with data owners on changes, data anomalies, problems Steadfastly make it easy for stake holders to participate, reduce burdens, provide data in exchange Always facilitate discussions about common data elements, definitions, core performance measures, performance funding Support
21
What has worked for FETPIP? Location within the state education agency Always surpass all requirements, expectations regarding data security Faithfully limit uses to statistical purposes for evaluation, program improvement Persistently keep exchange agreements current and up-to-date, continually brief employees, stake holders on security and confidentiality issues Always refer inquiries about particular resources to the resource owners Confidentiality/Security
22
What has worked for FETPIP? Strive to meet changes, challenges head-on Persistently refresh understanding of resources, requirements, limitations Persistently seek new data resources, expand coverage Always revise business rules as understanding, conditions change Establish short term and long term visions for the effort Changes
23
What has worked for FETPIP? Establish archival data resources Accommodate ad hoc interests and requirements Seek out opportunities to demonstrate your wares Always collaborate Other
