Abstract:
This information collection includes data validation for the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), and a streamlined quarterly narrative report template to support the 1) reporting, 2) recordkeeping, and 3) program evaluation requirements for the following grant programs: National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG), H-1B grant programs (started July 1, 2016 or later), National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) youth and adult grant programs, SCSEP, and YouthBuild (YB). This information collection does not increase the burden on grantees. SCSEP data validation assesses the accuracy of data collected and reported to ETA on program activities and outcomes. The accuracy and reliability of program reports submitted by states and grantees using federal funds are fundamental elements of good public administration, and are necessary tools for maintaining and demonstrating system integrity. The data validation requirement for employment and training programs strengthens the workforce system by ensuring that accurate and reliable information on program activities and outcomes is available. The WIOA Joint Quarterly Narrative Performance Report provides a detailed account of program activities, accomplishments, and progress toward performance outcomes during the quarter. It also provides information on grant challenges and timeline progress, as well as the opportunity to share success stories. Grantees currently provide quarterly narrative reports through ETA-provided, Web-based management systems that already exist and are currently in use by the grantees, or by email to Federal Project Officers where such systems do not exist. Additionally, the use of standardized narrative reports supports Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) implementation and assists in identifying areas of technical assistance need consistently across the discretionary programs that are reporting on WIOA performance indicators. The use of a consistent narrative template furthers the goals of WIOA around system alignment and consistency of reporting, which helps to improve the quality of performance information that is received by ETA.
