View Rule

Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), there are six primary indicators of performance. Five of the six indicators are currently defined in 34 CFR parts 463 and 361 and 20 CFR Part 677; however, in the final rule implementing WIOA the Departments of Labor and Education determined that it was prudent to test various alternatives for the sixth performance indicator, which will measure effectiveness in serving employers. That process is now complete, and the Departments are engaging in this rulemaking to propose incorporating the definition into the regulations implementing WIOA.  With this proposed definition, there would be only one methodology for States to measure the programs’ effectiveness in serving employers.
