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's services duplicate some of the core One-Stop services offered by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) adult and dislocated worker programs.
- For the 12 months ending June 2007, over 14 million people received One-Stop employment and workforce information services, and 63 percent of them found jobs.
- Incentives to improve grantee performance are missing. The program's grants lack the performance accountability features of other Workforce Investment Act programs, such as performance incentives and sanctions.

Improvement Plan
About Improvement Plans |
We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:
- Working with Congress to reform the Workforce Investment Act. Reforms will consolidate funding for related programs, reduce administrative overhead and increase States' flexibility to tailor services.
- Adopting efficiency measures that are linked to performance outcomes, account for all costs, and facilitate comparisons across Department of Labor training and employment programs.
- Improving reporting efficiency, program management, and accountability through the implementation of WISPR, an integrated reporting system for this program and the WIA, trade, and veterans programs.
