Chapter 3 policies provide guidance on the primary indicators of performance, state and local negotiations to establish performance goals, adjusted levels of performance, incentives and sanctions, and evaluation of performance as required by Section 116 of the Act and 20 CFR Part 677 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Final Joint Rule for the WIOA Title IB Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs.  Throughout this chapter, information and references are also provided on procedures and requirements for use of system(s) of record and performance reporting.

Key provisions in WIOA are designed to improve accountability and transparency, create strong performance metrics to the system, and provide for a robust program evaluation ensuring investments are evidence-based and data-driven.

WIOA establishes core measures for reporting participant outcomes in the Title IB (Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth), Title II (Adult Education), Title III (Employment Services/Wagner-Peyser), and Title IV (Vocational Rehabilitation) programs.  These performance measures will take into account differences in the populations served to remove any disincentives to serving those who need the most help.  In addition, the Governor and the Illinois Workforce Innovation Board (IWIB) may include additional measures to assess the overall effectiveness of the state and local areas.
