  25. The WIA Screen - WIASRD

  26. WIASRD - Intro Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Data (WIASRD) • Individual records (not aggregate) • Very important for ad-hoc analysis • Type of training • Demographics • Outcomes

  27. WIASRD - Updates Updates for 2008 • Adds valid values to Other Non-WIA Programs (WIASRD field 326) to allow states to code American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 co-enrollments • Designates WIASRD field 313c as a “Special Projects” field

  28. WIASRD – Submission Tips • Uploading WIASRD files to EBSS can be very time consuming. • ETA processes WIASRD files overnight and provides the state with a status the following day. • Some tips to reduce WIASRD upload time include: • Zip your file • Remove unnecessary characters • Firefox is faster than IE

  29. WIASRD – Tips Continued The slow way – 626 characters: "000000000","18810118","2","3","2","2","2","3","3","3","2","1","2","1","3","1","2","2","2","12","2","","2","2","1","1","4","1","00000","19020503","19021010","2","2","1","2","2","2","2","","2","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","1","2","","","2","2","2","2","999999999","0","2","1","2","2","2","1","1","","","","1","1","2","1","","1","1","02001.00","","01712.00","","03112.00","03094.00","01182.00","00000.00","00000.00","5","","3","3","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","","“ The fast way – 283 characters: 000000000,18810118,2,3,2,2,2,1,2,2,3,3,3,2,1,2,1,3,1,2,2,2,12,2,,2,2,1,1,4,1,00000,19020503,19021010,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,,2,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,1,2,,,2,2,2,2,999999999,0,2,1,2,2,2,1,1,,,,1,1,2,1,,1,1,2001,,1712,,3112,03094,1182,0,0,5,,3,3,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  30. WIASRD – The Future • Quarterly submissions beginning March 31, 2010. • Includes participants and exiters. • Now is the time to fix problems.

  31. Don’t Forget Wagner-Peyser! • Monthly and Quarterly Reports • Submitted to ETA via EBSS • Quarterly Guidance: ETA 9002 and VETS 200 Data Preparation Handbook No. 406 • Monthly Guidance: Training and Employment Guidance Letter No. 24-08

  32. Basic Reporting Review • Monthly WIA and Wagner-Peyser Reports • Quarterly WIA and Wagner-Peyser Reports • Annual WIA Report • WIASRD

  33. Part 2: Data Validation ETA’s data informs the Legislative and Executive branches of government as well as media, researchers, and the public. Without Data Validation, ETA is not able to assess the accuracy of its data.

  34. How Does Data Validation Work? Two separate processes are required to ensure that performance data is reliable: • Report Validation ensures that aggregate reports are calculated correctly. • Data Element Validation ensures that the data elements in the participant records used to calculate aggregate reports are accurate.

  35. Data Validation Guidance • TEN 14-02: To inform the workforce investment system of the data validation initiative for employment and training programs. Issued May 28, 2003. • TEGL 3-03: Data Validation Policy for Employment and Training Programs. Issued August 20, 2003. • TEGL 3-03, Change 1. Issued August 20, 2004. • TEGL 3-03, Change 2. Issued October 20, 2004. • TEGL 3-03, Change 3. Issued July 15, 2005. • TEN 9-06: Program Year 2005/Fiscal Year 2006 Performance Reporting and Data Validation Timelines. Issued August 17, 2006. • TEN 19-07: Program Year 2006/Fiscal Year 2007 Performance Reporting and Data Validation Timelines. Issued December 11, 2007. • TEN 09-08: Program Year 2007/Fiscal Year 2008 Performance Reporting and Data Validation Timelines. Issued September 3, 2008

  36. Data Reporting and Validation Software Data Reporting and Validation Software (DRVS) version 7.2 released May 6, 2009. • Use for PY2008 Annual Report and 2009 Quarterly reports • Adds valid values to Other Non-WIA Programs (WIASRD 326) to allow states to code American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 co-enrollments • Fully implements the Literacy/Numeracy calculation per TEGL 17-05, Change 2 • Designates WIASRD 313c as a “Special Projects” field

  37. DRVS – Available Here! DRVS is available at: http://www.doleta.gov/performance/Reporting/tools_datavalidation.cfm

  38. DRVS is Essential to Reporting • Processes the WIA Quarterly and Annual Reports, and the Wagner-Peyser/VETS quarterly performance reports • Provides all functions necessary for validation • Compares reports • Sampling and data accuracy analysis • Uploads performance reports and validation error reports to ETA

  39. Reporting of Validation Results • DRVS produces: • Report validation summary • Data element validation summary and analytical reports • WIA and LX DRVS creates files with the annual report validation values for upload to ETA

  40. DRVS Reporting Options Screen This reporting option screen is for the WIA annual report covering Program Year 2008.

  41. Creating RV Extract Files for WIA • State IT staff produce extract file with participant records for all participants and exiters included on the appropriate report • Extract file format is based on the WIASRD (with extra fields added to help locate participant files in one-stops – sampling unit, WIB Name, Office Name, Case Manager, and User Field)

  42. Loading Extract File into DRVS State staff import the extract file into the data validation software The software processes the file and builds performance outcome groups Multiple edit checks

  43. Edit Check Error Report - Example

  44. Reload Files if Necessary • Review error and duplicate reports • Determine whether the extract file must be regenerated or reformatted based on whether the number of errors is significant • Load the entire modified extract file if necessary • DRVS will not import additional records into a file that has already been imported.

  45. Uploading the WIA Annual Report to DRVS • To calculate the error rate, the software must have the state’s reported values • Import the item totals from the WIA Annual Report into the reported count input form • The validation software provides the capability to e-submit the report to ETA

  46. Whew…

  47. Report Validation Summary • After reported values from the WIA Annual Report have been imported the software produces the report validation summary • Calculates the difference between the validation and reported values • Displays an error rate for each reported value • DRVS can e-submit the report to ETA

  48. Report Validation Summary Example

  49. How Does Data Validation Work? (again) Two separate processes are required to ensure that performance data is reliable: • Report Validation ensures that aggregate reports are calculated correctly. • Data Element Validation ensures that the data elements in the participant records used to calculate aggregate reports are accurate.

  50. Data Element Validation • Report will not be accurate if the data being used by the software are wrong • Requires checking data elements against source documentation to verify compliance with federal definitions • States identify state-specific source documentation • DRVS produces worksheets for state staff to enter source documentation review
