Literacy and Numeracy Gains. Of those out-of-school youth who are basic skills deficient: [# of participants who increase one or more educational functioning levels] divided by [# of participants who have completed a year in the program (i.e., one year from the date of program participation) plus (+) the # of participants who exit before completing a year in the program].
Literacy and Numeracy Gains. Measureable Skills Gains The program must provide for specific gains in literacy and/or numeracy, as appropriate, based on the initial assessment with the TABE or XXXXX. The standard of achievement is for the youth to increase at least one educational functioning level in at least one area of deficiency. Measurable Skills Gains (MSG) are indicators used to track important achievements of WIOA participants. A student in a GED program can earn a MSG by completing their GED or increasing a reading or math grade level. Attainment of the MSG will be determined by a post-test. The post-test must be the same type (TABE/XXXXX) as the pre-test. The Service Provider should work with Career Link to develop an individualized plan for when students should be post-tested. The purpose of the Measurable Skill Gains (MSG) indicator is to track and measure important progressions and achievements made by WIOA clients (entered in training or education), through pathways and towards various goals of their individual programs. A gain must be recorded for a client each year (July 1 – June 30) they are enrolled in training or education and progress satisfactorily in one or more areas of their employment or training program.
Literacy and Numeracy Gains. At least 45% of out-of-school youth who are basic skills deficient: [# of participants who increase one or more educational functioning levels] divided by [# of participants who have completed a year in the program (i.e., one year from the date of program participation) plus (+) the # of participants who exit before completing a year in the program] (Exiters 7/1/08-6/30/09) 1. Salaries 22,650 2. Benefits 4,530 3. Operations 15,071 4. Consultant/Subcontract 9,800 5. Employer Reimbursement (OJT) 0 6. Miscellaneous Client Fees 2,500 7. Student Supplies 1,000 8.

Literacy and Numeracy Gains. Literacy and Numeracy (Lit/Num) Gains applies to youth who are basic skills deficient at time of enrollment. The performance will be measured by the percentage of youth who increase two or more educational functioning levels within one year of participation out of the number of youth that have completed one year of participation plus the number of youth who exit before completing the year. Youth who are basic skills deficient will likely need time to improve one or more education levels. It is recommended that when pre-testing and post-testing for Lit/Num identification and gains contractors utilize the same testing instrument (i.e. TABE).

The post-test must be the same type (TABE/XXXXX) as the pre-test. The Service Provider should work with Career Link to develop an individualized plan for when students should be post-tested. Career Link has the final decision regarding entry into the GED program. Achievement of educational gain must take place within one year from the date of first participation. Ideally, the youth will be able to attain their GED within one calendar year of entering the program. The purpose of the Measurable Skill Gains (MSG) indicator is to track and measure important progressions and achievements made by WIOA clients (entered in training or education), through pathways and towards various goals of their individual programs. A gain must be recorded for a client each year (July 1 – June 30) they are enrolled in training or education and progress satisfactorily in one or more areas of their employment or training program. The Service Provider and the Career Link Career Planner must meet to evaluate each youth’s progress towards MSGs no later than six (6) months after enrollment.
Literacy and Numeracy Gains. The WIOA performance measures take effect 7/1/16 and include: 1) Placement in employment/training or education (Q2 and Q4 after exit); 2) Median earnings, 3) Credential rate, and 4) Measurable skills gain. Guidance will be provided to Subrecipient on these measures. and implement an individualized service strategy.

Each contact will be documented in the appropriate database(s). • Strong linkages between academic instruction and occupational education that lead to the attainment of recognized postsecondary credentials. • Preparation for unsubsidized employment opportunities, in appropriate cases. • Effective connections to employers, including small employers, in in-demand industry sectors and occupations of the local and regional labor markets. • Follow-up services – Follow-up services must be provided for a minimum of 12 months following a youth’s exit from the program to help ensure the youth is successful in employment and/or post-secondary education and training. The types of services provided and the duration of services must be determined based on the needs of the individual and therefore, the type and intensity of follow-up services may differ for each participant. However, follow-up services must include more than only a contact attempted or made for securing documentation in order to report a performance outcome. Additionally, WIOA regulations require the following 14 services be readily available to eligible youth. JobTrain will address all of the required program elements, as shown below. Elements not provided directly by JobTrain will state below with whom JobTrain will partner to provide the service, and how the youth will access the service. The required program elements (WIOA section 129(c)(2)) are: Tutoring, study skills training, instruction, drop- out prevention, etc. JobTrain provides tutoring, study skills, etc: • JobTrain’s GED instructor and/or trained volunteers provide tutoring and study skills training for students who are basic skills deficient or need extra support in their vocational training; GED is also provided.
