Under WIOA, there are six primary indicators of performance. Five of the six indicators were defined in the regulation; however, in the 2016 final rule implementing WIOA the Departments of Labor and Education (the Departments) determined that it was prudent to pilot various alternatives for the sixth indicator of performance, which measures the system’s effectiveness in serving employers. The pilot process was completed and the Departments published a final rule updating the WIOA implementing regulations to incorporate Retention with the Same Employer as the standard definition of the effectiveness in serving employers indicator and to require one WIOA core program report on the indicator on behalf of all six WIOA core programs within each state.  The Department of Labor issued a separate final rule incorporating Retention with the Same Employer as the definition of the effectiveness in serving employers into the regulations for the Job Corps program, Indian and Native American Programs, and YouthBuild.
