Set aside to assist state workforce agencies and local Workforce Investment Boards (WIBs) • Funding is to be used to develop a comprehensive, integrated, strategic regional plan based on WIRED principles with a focus on current or future unanticipated economic events • Awards will be limited to $250,000 for any one regional project with a grant period of 18 months • Applications are taken on a rolling basis

  12. What’s New in NEG • WISPR Impact • Quarterly access to performance outcomes will inform management and decision-making for NEGs • Common measure outcome data by project

  13. What’s New in NEG • ETA is conducting a review of NEG data • Conduct a review to better understand data collection, processing and reporting issues • Develop reporting and definitions guidance • Audience input today!

  18. NEG Quarterly Progress Report:Key Terms and Concepts

  19. NEG Quarterly Progress Report • All NEG participants should be reported • Those served only by a NEG • Those served by a NEG and co-enrolled in WIA • HCTC funded by NEG funds should be reported in NEG e-system

  20. NEG Quarterly Progress Report • Report format used for all four types of NEGs • One report required per NEG project • All fields are cumulative from the NEG start date • Completion of fields based on the type of NEG • Electronic system will only ask for fields appropriate to project type, for example, health coverage payments only applies to Trade Act Health Insurance NEGs • Due 45 days after the end of the quarter

  21. NEG Quarterly Progress Report • Reported through the NEG e-system • Click “Begin” next to “Quarterly Performance Report”

  22. Key Terms and Concepts • Sample Elements of the QPR: • Total participants • Receiving Intensive Services • Enrolled in NEG-funded training • Receiving NEG-funded supportive services • Receiving Needs-Related Payments • Employed in Temporary Disaster Relief Program • Total Exits • Total Entering Employment at Exit • Total Expenditures at Grantee level • Total Expenditures at Project Operator Level (including service providers of Project Operator) • Total Project Expenditures

  23. Key Terms and Concepts • Receiving Intensive Services • 20CFR 663.200 and WIA Sec. 134(d)(3)(C) • Examples include assessments, career plans, counseling, career planning • Includes services wholly or partially-funded by the NEG • Enrolled in NEG-Funded Training • 20CFR 663.300 and WIA Sec. 134(d)(4)(D) • Includes training wholly or partially-funded by the NEG • Receiving NEG-Funded Supportive Services • Included services wholly or partially-funded by the NEG

  24. Key Terms and Concepts • Total Participants • Number of eligible individuals who have received services funded by the NEG • Includes NEG-only and co-enrolled participants receiving services from a partner program • Note, the service fields do not sum because a participant may receive more than one service

  25. Key Terms and Concepts • Exit • Total cumulative exiters • positive and negative outcomes • Definition is the same for NEG e-system and the WIASRD: • A participant has not received a WIA program or partner-funded service for 90 consecutive calendar days, has no gap in service, and is not scheduled for future services

  26. Key Terms and Concepts • Entering Employment at Exit • The cumulative number of participants who have ceased to receive services funded by the NEG and who have entered employment within the grant period.

  27. Discussion Forum
