  8. MAJOR USES OF FETPIP DATA • Workforce Education Performance Funding • Performance-Based Program Budgeting • WIA Performance Measurement • ITA Provider Lists • Perkins Performance Goal Measurement • School District Accountability • University System Program Reviews • Legislative Performance Reviews • Workforce Estimating Conference • Occupational Supply and Demand • Career Counseling, consumer and Guidance Information

  9. Benefits: FETPIP • Common core set of outcome measures across many programs, operations… • An accurate count of labor market supply by occupation from vocational programs...

  10. Benefits: FETPIP • Relatively inexpensive while providing more detailed, thorough information with high response levels… • Uses existing data.. • Objective - non judgmental resource

  11. Criticisms of the FETPIP approach... • It’s too slow… • Quarterly (or annual) is not frequent enough… • It misses some types of employment… • It misses some types of postsecondary education...

  12. Important start-up features: FETPIP • Legislative Requirement - a guarantee of cooperation … • Understand what the data resources are designed to do, what they are for, owner-concerns… • Work with owners to design an approach - if possible, reduce burdens associated with their participation... more…

  13. Important start-up features: FETPIP • Start with a limited scope, create ‘fans’… • As you expand, listen to participants, try to accommodate their concerns… • Initially, try to avoid high stakes - or provide program folks with an ‘out’… • Have short term and long term visions for the effort...

  14. Lessons Learned: FETPIP • Recognize purposes and ownership of data resources… • Identify the strengths and weaknesses of data resources… • Surpass all requirements, expectations regarding data security… • Deliver on-time and honestly… • Get empowerment - Statutory authority and $$$ helps… more...

  15. Lessons Learned: FETPIP • When people need stuff, be there… • Anticipate roles that the system can play in accountability, performance measurement, cost return analysis, assisting new activities in meeting evaluation needs… • Initially, do not try to force common data elements, definitions... more...

  16. Lessons Learned: FETPIP • Work with participating agencies to detect and correct data element anomalies… • Correct or eliminate suspect data, including ‘bad’ SSNs...

  17. Costs of Operation: FETPIP • Year 1: ~$60,000; Year 2,3: ~$186,000; Year 4 - 8 ~$350,000; Current ~$600,000… • State ~$400,000, Perkins ~$60,000, WIA ~$140,000. • Staffing: Director, 3 Senior DBAs, 4 analyst/programmers, research assistant, clerical... • Mainframe costs ~$25,000 /year; postage ~$18,000;

  18.

  19. Automated Student Data Bases • Individually identifiable student data with SSNs or optional ID … • Demographic, course, and teacher formats... • Approximately 75 Data Elements including derived elements... • Postsecondary - primarily end-of term reporting (3 Xs year) • Secondary - part of the overall k-12 reporting schema - enrollment surveys and an annual wrap-up survey • Tables for course information, standards...

  20. Automated Student Data Bases • Reporting via statewide computer network - FIRN... • 214 edits, including 70 fatal edits... • referential integrity... • Reporting and technical assistance services… • Data review processes for changes...

  21. Overview of the Workforce Development Education Reporting Systems

  22. Performance Funding: WDEFF • Combines adult general education and adult vocational education in school districts and community colleges into workforce development education… • Allocates $720 million in state $$$ based on a base amount, performance completions, performance placements, several targeted services, and several ‘adjustments’ for local conditions… • Operates performance $$$ on a competitive - ‘at risk’ basis- local entities can gain or loose money based on performance... • Eliminates categorical funding...

  23. Data That Drives the formula • 2000-2001 Appropriation • 1998-99 Completions • 1997-98 Completions placed in 98-99 • 2001-2002 Appropriation • 1999-2000 Completions • 1998-1999 Completions placed in 99-00 • 2002-2003 Appropriation • 2000-2001 Completions • 1999-2000 Completions placed in 00-01

  24. Formula Weights... • Vocational, Standard Length, OCP to OCP... • AGE, Educational Difficulty, LCP to LCP... • AS Degrees, Degrees and College Credit Certificates... • Targeted Populations, educational Difficulty plus Combinations... • Targeted Occupations & Placement Levels...

  25. Why Some LEAs Gain Money... • Sustain or exceed performance share by- • Recruiting and counseling targeted students... • Retaining students through completion… • Assuring high level placements… • Manage data… • Emphasize programs that perform, fix or eliminate programs that don’t...

  26. Why some LEAS lose... • Not sustaining or reaching their share of performance… • Not reporting thoroughly or accurately… • Funding emphasis differences between the original funding methods and the new workforce development education performance method...
