DOL 7 WIOA  Adult Barriers' Priority of Service QRA

For questions, concerns, or feedback please reach out to the Data Integrity (DI) team @  ESDDLLMIRDataIntegrityTeam@esd.wa.gov

Purpose/Definition

The purpose of this QRA is to ensure that adult job seekers, in priority populations, receive an adequate level of service.

This QRA is defined as the percentage of adult job seekers who are included in one or more of the 7 Adult barrier priority populations, AND who received at least one Individualized Career or Training service.

The WIOA Title Ib Adult (AD) Federal Grant is the only Federal Grant being monitored, by DOL, for this WIOA 7 Adult Barriers’ Priority of Service QRA.

  • There is no official guidance yet, so the WIOA Title Ib Adult (AD) Federal Grant is currently only being monitored, at this point (except by Pilot states). 

  • Please see QRA Background and Purpose section, on the DOL QRA supporting documentation website, for more information, regarding the QRA Pilot stage (Monitoring vs. Accountable).

Statutory Citations: WIOA Section 677.150 (a); 677.160; 680.660-680.660.

Besides the WIOA Title Ib Adult (AD) Federal Grant being monitored by DOL, through this QRA, the WIOA Title Ib Adult (AD) Federal Grant is also being held accountable through the DOL 7-20 TEGL:  TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT GUIDANCE LETTER No. 07-20 | U.S. Department of Labor (dol.gov), of which the data set, within this QRA, supports.

This new dashboard will allow the ability for the data to be sliced and diced by a single or multiple LWDBs/WDAs, or by a single or multiple offices, or by a single or multiple Federal Grants, or by a single or multiple Designated Cohorts (i.e., MSFWs, All Veterans, and Eligible Veterans (DOL Definition)).  The source of the data is the PIRL.

  • Note: Even though this dashboard allows users to pull data by a single or multiple Federal Grants, currently, the WIOA Title Ib Adult (AD) Federal Grant is the only Federal Grant being monitored, by DOL, for this WIOA 7 Adult Barriers’ Priority of Service QRA. 

Important Note:  The DI Team does NOT define nor create any of the definitions/calculations for the new DOL QRAs (QRA Calculations), or any of the DOL Performance Measures (QPR Calculations), on the PIRL, or any other Federal report or performance measure calculations (Like the UNTEER employment rate) you may have access to.  DOL deciphers, defines, and maintains the “what” the “why” and the “how” for those definitions/calculations, at the Federal level, within their DOL official guidance/laws, for all of the 50 states and the territories.  DOL provides the 50 states and the territories with pseudo code, in order to replicate the definitions, numbers, and percentages.  The DI Team only provides visuals, for you.  As to why those numbers and percentages sometimes seem to be in conflict with each other (They all use the same data set, the PIRL), will also be defined, within DOL’s official guidance/laws, of which the DI Team always provides, with our dashboards.
