I. INTRODUCTION

YouthBuild in the Workforce Training and Employment System

This handbook was developed to facilitate completion of the YouthBuild program reporting requirements, which fall within the context of the broader workforce training and employment system. Performance accountability is a strategic priority in ETA’s vision for an integrated workforce system that is better able to respond to the needs of customers. Investors in the nation's workforce development system are eager to learn the impact of their investments and how effective the system is at helping individuals to find jobs. Full and accurate information on the performance of YouthBuild programs should be available to and easily understood by all interested customers and stakeholders.

Common Measures of Performance

To enhance the management of the workforce system and the usability of program performance information, the Department of Labor, in partnership with other Federal agencies, has developed a set of common performance measures for Federally-funded training and employment programs. The common measures for youth training and employment programs such as YouthBuild include: placement in employment or education, attainment of a degree or certificate, and literacy and numeracy gains. The common measures took effect on July 1, 2005 for Departmental training and employment programs.

Common measures provide the ability to describe, in a consistent manner, the core purposes of the workforce system, (e.g., how many youth found jobs or continued on to post-secondary education; how many youth earned a high school diploma or GED or other industry recognized credential; how much progress did they make in terms of their basic skill levels in literacy and numeracy, etc.). Standardizing the definitions of outcomes across programs simplifies reporting and provides a greater ability to compare and manage results. For YouthBuild, common measures will help tell a more complete story that will aid Congress, the states, the business community and other partners and stakeholders in assessing the value of YouthBuild services for our customers within an integrated workforce investment system.

II. REPORTING INSTRUCTIONS

A. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

YouthBuild grantees are required to maintain participant data records and to submit quarterly reports to the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) to comply with the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the grants. The YouthBuild reporting structure features standardized data collection for program participants and quarterly performance and narrative progress report formats. Should changes in definitions resulting from new legislation and/or related regulations occur, appropriate revisions will be issued to reflect these changes. Handbook revisions are distributed through Handbook Transmittals issued from the National Office. Dates of issuance are displayed at the bottom of each revised page. Additional clarifying guidance would be issued in the future through formal guidance letters.

B. DATA COLLECTION AND RECORDKEEPING

Data collection and recordkeeping will be carried out using an ETA-provided Management Information System (MIS). The MIS will be a web-based case management and reporting application housed on ETA’s servers. All participant data will be entered directly into the ETA database via the internet. The data required on individual participant records will vary by participant based on the range and intensity of services provided by the grantee. Appendix B of this document contains the YouthBuild participant data element specifications.

C. QUARTERLY PERFORMANCE REPORTS

The quarterly performance reports (also referred to as MIS Reports) include aggregate and participant-level information on demographic characteristics, types of services received, placements, outcomes, and follow-up status. All grantees will use the ETA-provided MIS to generate quarterly performance reports. The MIS is designed to apply edit checks to participant data and to generate facsimiles of the aggregate information on enrollee characteristics, services provided, placements, outcomes, and follow-up status in quarterly report format. Quarterly performance report requirements include reviewing and correcting errors identified by the MIS in the participant-level data, and generating, reviewing, and approving the aggregate quarterly reports using ETA’s On-Line Electronic Reporting System.

D. QUARTERLY NARRATIVE PROGRESS REPORTS

The quarterly narrative progress reports will provide a detailed, narrative account of program activities undertaken during the quarter, as well as performance outcomes. Grantees are required to provide a narrative account of all activities undertaken during the quarter including in-depth information on accomplishments, promising approaches, progress toward performance outcomes, upcoming grant activities, and updates on product, curricula, and training development.

E. PERFORMANCE OUTCOME MEASURES

Three outcome measures will be used to measure success in the YouthBuild grants:

• placement in employment or education,

• attainment of a degree or certificate,

• and literacy and numeracy gains

These conform to the youth common performance measures implemented across federal job training programs as of July 1, 2005. By standardizing the reporting and performance requirements of different programs, the common measures give ETA the ability to compare across programs the core goals of the youth workforce system—how many youth found jobs or continued on to post-secondary education; how many youth earned a high school diploma or GED or other industry recognized credential; how much progress did they make in terms of their basic skill levels in literacy and numeracy.

In addition to the three outcome measures, grantees will report on a number of leading indicators that serve as predictors of success. These include participation in education or training, attainment of degrees and certificates, workforce preparation, mentoring, community service, post-secondary exploration and preparation, and leadership development.

F. DATA ELEMENT SPECIFICATIONS

Grantees are required to collect and maintain standardized data on characteristics, activities, and outcomes information for all individuals who receive services or benefits through YouthBuild programs. Grantees will enter this participant data directly into the ETA-provided MIS. Appendix B provides a list of the standardized data elements to be collected by grantees and used in generating the quarterly YouthBuild reports.

The primary purposes of the YouthBuild data element specifications are to:

1. Establish a standardized set of data elements, definitions, and specifications that can be used to describe the characteristics, activities, and outcomes of individuals served by YouthBuild programs;

2. Facilitate the collection and reporting of valid, consistent, and complete information on individual participants in order to support the overall management, evaluation, and continuous improvement of the programs at the local, state, and federal levels; and

3. Share program performance results with consumers, taxpayers, Congress and others with an interest in the PRI programs.

In developing the YouthBuild data element specifications, every effort has been made to establish common data definitions and formats with minimum burden to grantees. The specifications establish a core set of data that must be collected and maintained by grantees. YouthBuild data elements are separated into section headings and categories that represent logical groupings related to participant characteristics, services received, and performance outcomes. For each data element, there is an element number, an element name, a definition or reporting instruction, and coding values.

G. UPDATING PARTICIPANT INFORMATION

When participant data is entered into the web-based MIS, it is stored directly in the ETA database. During the 30-day period following the end of each quarter, grantees are responsible for reviewing and approving the aggregate quarterly performance reports generated by the MIS. Quarterly report requirements include reviewing and correcting participant-level data errors identified by the MIS at the time each report is generated. Participant information can be updated at any time and is entered directly into the ETA database at the time it is updated. The participant information in the ETA database is the basis for the YouthBuild quarterly reports submitted by grantees to ETA.

H. REPORTING SCHEDULE

Quarterly reports are due no later than thirty (30) days following the completion of each quarter. The reporting schedule is as follows:

Quarter Report Date

July 1 – September 30 October 30

October 1 – December 31 January 30

January 1 – March 31 April 30

April 1 – June 30 July 30

Each quarterly report will include information on participants and services received during the quarter, and outcome information on exiters as data becomes available. Because of the time lag between a participant’s date of exit from the YouthBuild program and the period when employment or credential information can be verified, report periods vary for different outcome measures. The following table provides participant and exiter cohorts for each quarterly report for Program Years (PY) 2007, 2008, and 2009.

III. COLLECTION OF FEDERAL EQUAL OPPORTUNITY INFORMATION

Beginning on the effective date of this reporting system, grantees are required to collect, maintain, and report equal opportunity information, including sex, age, disability, ethnicity, and race, for all individuals who apply for benefits or services financially assisted by the program. This requirement is in accordance with 29 CFR Part 37, “Implementation of the Nondiscrimination and Equal Opportunity Provisions of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.” For reference, sections 37.37(b)(1), (b)(2) and (d) of title 29 CFR mandate the following:

(b)(1) Each recipient must collect such data and maintain such records, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Director [Director of the Civil Rights Center, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, DOL], as the Director finds necessary to determine whether the recipient has complied or is complying with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIA or this part. The system and format in which the records and data are kept must be designed to allow the Governor and CRC [Civil Rights Center, Department of Labor] to conduct statistical or other quantifiable data analyses to verify the recipient's compliance with section 188 of WIA and this part;

(b)(2) Such records must include, but are not limited to, records on applicants, registrants, eligible applicants/registrants, participants, terminees, employees, and applicants for employment. Each recipient must record the race/ethnicity, sex, age, and where known, disability status, of every applicant, registrant, eligible applicant/registrant, participant, terminee, applicant for employment, and employee;

(d) Where designation of individuals by race or ethnicity is required, the guidelines of the Office of Management and Budget must be used.

Other sources of authority for this requirement include 29 CFR 31.5(b), in DOL’s regulations implementing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 29 CFR 32.44(b), in DOL’s regulations implementing Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The CRC Director has determined that collection of the equal opportunity information sought by this section of the reporting system is necessary in order to determine whether recipients have complied, or are complying, with the nondiscrimination and equal opportunity provisions of WIA and other applicable statutes.

The collection of equal opportunity information is to be self-identified by the individual and is voluntary. Individuals should be made aware of the reason for the request of such information as well as the parties to whom disclosure may be made. Information collected from the individual will be used to monitor compliance of recipients with the equal opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements enforced by the CRC. It will also be used to assist the grantee and the Department in evaluating and improving efforts to conduct outreach to diverse population groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities.

The collection of ethnicity and race information contained within these reporting instructions are in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Statistical Directive 15 (as adopted October 30, 1997 at http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg/ombdir15.html). The ethnicity and racial categories in this classification are social-political constructs and should not be interpreted as being scientific or anthropological in nature. They are not to be used as determinants of eligibility for participation in any Federal program. The standards have been developed to provide a common language for uniformity and comparability in the collection and use of data on race and ethnicity by Federal agencies.

OMB has determined that a two-question format should be used in all cases involving self-identification of ethnicity and race. Therefore, ethnicity information (i.e., Hispanic or Latino) must be collected separately from race information, and individuals who indicate that they are Hispanic or Latino should also have the opportunity to select one or more racial categories. Information on an individual’s ethnicity must also be collected before information on race. When completing race information, individuals must be offered the option of selecting one or more racial designations. Recommended forms for the instruction accompanying the race information should instruct the individual to read each racial designation carefully and then “Mark one or more . . .” or “Select one or more . . .” races to indicate what the individual considers him/herself to be.

For the purposes of the requirements in this section of the reporting system, disability means, with respect to an individual, a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual. 29 CFR 37.4 provides further clarification of the term “disability”; relevant portions of the definition have been included below for reference

(1)(i) The phrase physical or mental impairment means—

1. Any physiological disorder or condition, cosmetic disfigurement, or anatomical loss affecting one or more of the following body systems: neurological, musculoskeletal, special sense organs, respiratory (including speech organs), cardiovascular, reproductive, digestive, genitourinary, hemic and lymphatic, skin, and endocrine;

2. Any mental or psychological disorder such as mental retardation, organic brain syndrome, emotional or mental illness, and specific learning disabilities.

(ii) The phrase physical or mental impairment includes, but is not limited to, such contagious and noncontagious diseases and conditions as orthopedic, visual, speech and hearing impairments, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, mental retardation, emotional illness, specific learning disabilities, HIV disease (whether symptomatic or asymptomatic), tuberculosis, drug addiction, and alcoholism. The phrase ``physical or mental impairment'' does not include homosexuality or bisexuality.

(2) The phrase major life activities means functions such as caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working.

Information collected from the individual will be used to monitor compliance of recipients with the equal opportunity and nondiscrimination requirements enforced by the CRC. It will also be used to assist the grantee and the Department in evaluating and improving efforts to conduct outreach to diverse population groups, including racial and ethnic minorities and persons with disabilities.

Personally identifying information will not be included in the tabulation or transfer of data to the Department. The Department will use the data supplied by the individual to determine how many applicants are from different groups and how many of these applicants are determined eligible to receive services financially assisted by the program in question. The Department will then assess compliance with nondiscrimination and equal opportunity requirements, as well as the effectiveness of specific outreach efforts and means of communication in light of this information.
