WIOA State performance is determined by assessing the performance of each of the core programs using these three criteria.1
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Individual Indicator Score | is the proportion the actual level of performance represents of the adjusted level of performance for a single performance indicator for a single program. It is calculated by dividing the actual level of performance achieved by the adjusted level of performance. |
Overall State Indicator Score | is the average of the individual indicator scores for a single performance indicator across WIOA core programs. |
Overall State Program Score | is the average of the individual indicator scores for a single WIOA core program across performance indicators. |
There are multiple different levels of performance:
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Negotiated level of performance | is the agreed upon target level of performance for an indicator set biennially. |
Adjusted level of performance | is the result of re-calculating the negotiated level of performance for an indicator once a program year ends. This becomes the new target level. |
Adjustment factor | is the total amount that the original negotiated level of an indicator is adjusted. |
Actual level of performance | shows the actual reported performance results for the indicator. |
Individual performance indicator score | is the actual level divided by the adjusted level and is the score used for performance assessment. |
The table below shows the relationship between the Individual Indicator Scores, Overall State Program Scores and Overall State Indicator Scores.
Unsubsidized Employment 2nd Quarter | Unsubsidized Employment 4th Quarter | Median Earnings | Credential Attainment Rate | Measurable Skill Gain | Employer Measure | Overall Program Scores | |

The table below demonstrates the calculation of the individual indicator score. The adjusted level of performance was set at 50% of participants being employed in the 2nd quarter after exit and the actual level of performance was reported to be 40% of participants who were employed in the 2nd quarter after exit. With this information, the individual indicator score is calculated to be 80% (50% was the goal but only 40% was achieved; 40÷50 x 100 = 80 achievement rate).
Indicator | Adjusted Level of Performance | Actual Level of Performance | Achievement Rate |
---|---|---|---|
Employment 2nd Quarter After Exit | 50% | 40% | 80% |
A performance failure occurs when:
In this example, the Title I Adult Overall Program Score is 83. This is less than 90 and demonstrates failure to meet state levels of performance.
Unsubsidized Employment 2nd Quarter | Unsubsidized Employment 4th Quarter | Median Earnings | Credential Attainment Rate | Measurable Skill Gain | Employer Measure | Overall State Program Scores | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T1 Adult | 78% | 69% | 88% | 81% | 82% | 100% | 83% |
T1 Dislocated Worker | 95% | 95% | 95% | 95% | 100% | 100% | 96.7% |
T1 Youth | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
T2 Adult Education | 100% | 100% | 100% | 92% | 100% | 100% | 98.7% |
T3 Wagner Peyser | 100% | 92% | 100% | 100% | 98% | ||
T4 Vocational Rehabilitation | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | 91% | 100% | 98.5% |
Overall State Indicator Scores | 95.5% | 92.7% | 97.2% | 93.6% | 94.6% | 100% |
Individual Indicator Score
Effective date: August 7, 2017
The individual indicator score, which is expressed as the percent achieved, compares the actual results achieved by each core program on each of the individual primary indicators to the adjusted levels of performance for each of the program's primary indicators of performance.
Overall State Program Score
Effective date: August 7, 2017
The overall state program score, which is expressed as the percent achieved, compares the actual results achieved by a core program on the primary indicators of performance for that core program. The average of the percentages achieved of the adjusted level of performance for each of the primary indicators by a core program will constitute the overall state program score.
Overall State Indicator Score
Effective date: August 7, 2017
The overall state indicator score which is expressed as the percent achieved, compares the actual results achieved on a primary indicator of performance by all core programs in a state to the adjusted levels of performance for that primary indicator.
