WIA Federal & State Program Performance Measures
This scorecard was developed in partnership with the Virginia Workforce Council in an effort to understand how the locally operated programs performed. The expected outcome of the scorecard is to provide a tool that would: (1) provide easy to access data on the performance of WIA programs; (2) to identify areas of improvement for the system and (3) facilitate policy and decision making for stakeholders of the system.
