WIASRD - General Instructions Purposes of the WIASRD: • Establish a standardized set of data elements, definitions and specifications to describe the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of individuals served by WIA programs (including NEGs); • Facilitate the collection and reporting of valid, consistent, and complete information on an individual to support the overall management, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the WIA programs at the local, state and federal levels; and • Share program performance results with consumers, taxpayers, Congress and other stakeholders.

  5. WIASRD - General Instructions • A single WIASRD file is submitted on each individual for each period of participation across the WIA programs in the state • Entry into other partner programs (e.g., TAA, Labor Exchange) can extend the period of participation in the WIA programs • Establishes a common exit date for all programs • Measures performance at the same time • Updated WIASRD files are submitted in each subsequent year until all outcome data is complete
