Local Workforce Innovation Boards (LWIBs) are assessed based on actual performance outcomes compared to negotiated and adjusted levels of performance for each applicable WIOA Title I indicator.

  1. Assessments for LWIBs prior to PY2024 were determined based on negotiated levels of performance. (Actual Outcome divided by Negotiated Level of Performance = Assessed Outcome)
  2. Beginning with PY2024, adjusted levels of performance will be determined at the end of each program year using adjustment factors produced through a Statistical Adjustment Model (SAM) developed by the State with input from local performance managers, to reflect the actual characteristics of the individuals served and actual economic conditions experienced in the local area.
    1. The adjustment factors of the SAM will be applied to the negotiated levels of performance to determine the adjusted levels of performance.

       

      Example:

      SAM Adjustment Factor: -2.7%

      Negotiated Level of Performance = 76.0%

      Adjusted Level of Performance: 76.0% -2.7% = 73.3%

    2. Actual performance outcomes will be compared to the adjusted levels of performance to calculate an indicator score for each Title IB program indicator of performance.
      1. The Individual Indicator Score is calculated by dividing the actual performance outcome by the adjusted level of performance for each applicable WIOA Title I indicator (Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth).

         

        Example:

        Actual Outcome: 75.6%

        Adjusted Level of Performance = 73.3%

        Individual Indicator Score: 75.6 ÷ 73.3 = 103

  3. Determination of Successful Performance
    1. Assessment of a Local Workforce Innovation Board (LWIB) to determine success based on the Individual Indicator Score.
    2. Beginning with PY 2024, each LWIB will be considered to have performed successfully if they achieve at least seventy percent (70%) of the adjusted level of performance in each of the individual indicators of performance (e.g., the Individual Indicator Score ≥ 70).

       

      Example:

      70% x Adjusted Level of 73.3%, Threshold = 51.3%

      Individual Indicator Score: 103 > 70

      Performance Status: LWIB Met Performance for this Indicator of Performance
