This article describes how to enroll customers in Career Connect Washington, provide services, and record outcomes in ETO.

Key Requirements:

• Participants receiving services funded by Fund A or Fund C in Career Connect Washington (CCWA) must be WIOA eligible
• The WIOA Eligibility TouchPoint must be completed with all eligibility documentation requirements

Notes:

• Co-enrollment into WIOA formula is not required but is permissible
• Participants enrolled in CCWA will be included in WIOA common measures but will not be included in local performance unless they are co-enrolled into formula
• For activities taking place prior to the availability of CCWA services in ETO (May 25, 2018), you must backdate using these instructions no later than July 15th, 2018
  • Include the following justification in the case notes: "Backdating due to CCWA service not available in ETO at time service was provided"

You must also complete the “Contract” and “Provider” fields in Service TouchPoints to document a participant as In School Youth (ISY) or Out of School Youth (OSY); document a participant as Fund A or Fund C, and help assist us with data migration and prevent orphaned services if a program enrollment is deleted erroneously. You do not need to attach Contracts to the Program Enrollment TouchPoint, only attach to Services. If you do not know which Contract to select, please check with your supervisor or the Career Connect WA Manager.
