Rating

What This Rating Means

PERFORMING
Adequate

This rating describes a program that needs to set more ambitious goals, achieve better results, improve accountability or strengthen its management practices.
  • The program meets its goals for assisting participants in preparing for, obtaining, or retaining gainful employment and is working to improve the quality of the data it collects. For example, from 2001-2003 the program exceeded its goals in helping individuals who completed the program to achieve an employment outcome.
  • The program is not able to compare its performance against other job training programs due to the grantees' difficulty in collecting comparable employment data. The Department is conducting an implementation study to assess the capacity of program grantees to collect and report comparable employment data.
  • The program annually collects performance data, but the use of the data in managing the program is limited and data are not available to the public. This program does not use performance data to assist in strategic planning activities.
