The Partnership has adopted a research design as required by statute. The Partnership also developed performance measures for its six statutory goals. However, outcome measures were developed for only three of the goals. In addition, baselines and expected future performance levels were not identified for all outcome measures. Without outcome measures' baselines and expected future performance levels, it will be difficult to judge Program success.
Data is not yet available to evaluate the Partnership's performance using its outcome measures. However, the Partnership is coordinating with the Florida Education and Training Placement Information Program (FETPIP) to obtain data for evaluating these outcomes. FETPIP has also collected data that assisted the Partnership in establishing baselines and timeframes for expected future performance.
The Partnership has carried out various activities in coordinating and overseeing state workforce training programs. It developed and provided oversight for the Performance-Based Incentive Funding (PBIF) Program. It also coordinated efforts to identify occupations that are in demand in Florida's economy and related job training programs designed to prepare individuals for these occupations.
