Current Use of Administrative Records • Limited information is collected on non-WIA registrants • These self-directed core customers comprise 81% of adults accessing MOED’s One-Stop Career Center Network. • Many transactions that take place at the One-Stop are not captured. • Swipe card system not a panacea.
System Level Research Projects • Baltimore’s Workforce Investment Board and MOED use administrative records for research purposes • WIA Tier Study (customer flow, client cohort outcomes) • Training Investment Analysis • Comparable Cities Benchmarking Project
Maryland’s Workforce Exchange System • State’s integrated data collection, case management, information management, and reporting system. • Introduced Spring 2004 • One system for both WIA and Wagner-Peyser Programs. • Available by Internet access Summer 2005
Administrative Records and Earnings • Maryland UI wage records • TRADE UI wage records from states adjacent to MD (DC, DE, PA, OH, VA, WV) • Federal Employment (OPM, DOD, USPS)
Anatomy Project Research link with Administrative Records • Flow/Process/Spatial Analysis (sign-in sheets, swipe cards) • Historical analysis (previous reports, publications, agency records) • Data analysis (MIS data, customer case notes, wage records)
Final Thoughts • Administrative records can contribute greatly to research projects • The current method of data collection does not comprehensively tell the story of a One-Stop Career Center • Non-WIA registrants and their activities should be examined more comprehensively
