Rating

What This Rating Means

NOT PERFORMING
Results Not Demonstrated

A rating of Results Not Demonstrated (RND) indicates that a program has not been able to develop acceptable performance goals or collect data to determine whether it is performing.
  • The program does not assess its overall effectiveness. The program does not have long-term performance measures, comprehensive annual measures, or an efficiency measure. Although the program has a few annual measures that focus on employment, the Department has not yet developed long-term measures that reflect the program's broad purpose of helping people return to work.
  • The program has not conducted a comprehensive evaluation of its activities. Discrete project evaluations have been done, but the program has not used the findings to change program practices.
  • Program managers do not systematically use performance information to improve program performance, assess management deficiencies, or make data available to the public.

Improvement Plan

About Improvement Plans

We are taking the following actions to improve the performance of the program:

  • Resolving outstanding issues with RSA's web-based data collection instrument to ensure that the system operates effectively for both RSA and program grantees.
  • Developing long-term measures; examining current annual measures to determine whether they should be maintained or revised in line with the comprehensive plan.
  • Developing procedures for the review of grantee data, and progress and final reports, to improve program performance.
