  1. The Illinois Workforce Development System (IWDS) records and stores WIOA programmatic and demographic data in accordance with guidance from the Office of Employment and Training. IWDS is compliant with 29 CFR 38.42 in the collection of the required EO statistical data at the point in which the job seeker/client is “registered” or the person hired becomes an employee of the agency or its partnerships. Recipients are required to maintain statistical analysis records in accordance with 29 CFR 38.43. Procedures have been enacted for investigating and accessing any significant statistical disparity.
  2. The annual EO monitoring conducted by the State-Level EO Officer includes a data review and analysis. To ensure that EOMC and its partners are administering its programs and activities in a nondiscriminatory manner, a review of data collected and maintained within IWDS is performed. This review provides a statistical analysis of the data collected and includes an analysis by race/ethnicity, sex, age, disability status, Limited English Proficiency and, preferred language by LWIA. This analysis employs dynamic formulas to compare each group's success rates versus all others to identify any outliers. If an anomaly is found performing the dynamic formula analysis, further analysis is completed using the standard deviation method. This data analysis process will be initially completed for the program year ending June 30, 2019. As EOMC continues to improve our data collection and analysis process, statistical analysis will also be utilized to perform trend analysis to identify potential areas of improvement or opportunities to enhance our outreach efforts.
  3. A fundamental goal of IWDS is to provide case managers with tools for managing their customers’ programs, by collecting data about the participant’s acceptance rates by race/ethnicity, sex, age, and disability status for those who apply for and receive services funded by WIOA programs. This includes evaluating client eligibility, recording assessment results, developing and implementing service plans, inserting case notes, and exit outcomes. WIOA programs that are monitored include:
    1. Adult;
    2. Dislocated worker;
    3. Youth programs;
    4. Trade Adjustment Act (TAA);
    5. Disability Employment Initiative (DEI);
    6. Rapid Response;
    7. Workforce Development (WDQI);
    8. WIF Partners and Regional; and
    9. National Dislocated Worker Grants (NDWG)
