WIA PERFORMANCE AND DATA VALIDATION Ohio’s Experience with Performance and Data Validation
OHIO’S INITIAL STRUGGLES • Ohio initially struggled making WIA Performance Measures • Initially, data reported was not consistent or reliable
CREATED NEW MIS SYSTEM • Created new Management Information System – SCOTI (Sharing Career Opportunities and Training Information) • Reflects WIASRD and Labor Exchange federal reporting requirements in layout and reporting • Use Data Validation Software to produce federal Quarterly and Annual Reports
PERFORMANCE REMINDERS • Created Performance Reminders that go to Case Managers if they have not entered Performance information into Ohio MIS (SCOTI) system • If information continues to be left blank the performance reminders go to the supervisor • Performance Reminder reports available for administrators
TRAINING ABOUT PERFORMANCE • Worked with SPRA to provide WIA Performance training to Administrators • State staff provided Regional and Local training on WIA Performance to Administrators, Supervisors, Staff and Providers
PROVIDED DATA ON PERFORMANCE TO LOCAL AREAS • Provide Participant level data created for federal USDOL reports to local area staff • Provide state designed Performance Measure Reports via Ohio SCOTI reporting system • Provide training on use of Data Validation Software to Local Areas • Provided additional software to convert Outcome Groups to Numerators/Denominators • Provided Local Area WIASRD files
EVALUATED NUMERATOR/DENOMINATOR DATA TO LOOK FOR ERRORS • Contacted Local Areas to fix incorrect data gleaned from data validation software • Was able to adjust SCOTI system to properly report performance information • Changed system to update Youth Retention reporting data to reflect employment information from UI Wage data • Became aware this data was not being included after evaluating data validation denominators.
