Description

As the economy recovers, some employers continue to face difficulty finding qualified workers. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs provide services, including job training, to help participants acquire skills and credentials employers need. Under WIA, states are required to report data on training participants who obtain credentials and on those who enter employment related to the training they receive. This report examines the capacity of states to report on these outcomes. It addresses: (1) the extent to which training participants obtained credentials and training-related employment; (2) challenges states face in reporting data on credentials and what steps, if any, they and the Dept. of Labor (DOL) are taking to address them; and (3) challenges states face in reporting data on training-related employment and what steps, if any, they and DOL are taking to address them. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
