5 The PIRL provides a framework to help the public workforce development system meet federal Reporting requirements while ensuring consistency and comparability across grantees and programs. This Resource leverages existing ETA Reporting guidance and technical assistance tools. It is designed for both novices and more experienced grantee data and performance specialists. ETA has organized this Resource to introduce less experienced staff to the concepts and specifics of Reporting , but with easily identifiable sections allowing experienced staff to quickly navigate to specific information as needed.

6 What is included in this Resource ? The PIRL Reporting Online Resource focuses on the programs included in the DOL-only PIRL (ETA-9172). These include DOL programs authorized in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) as well as other employment and training programs administered by DOL: Wagner-Peyser Act employment Service WIOA Adult WIOA Dislocated Worker WIOA Youth National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWG) Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) Indian and Native American Program (INAP) Reentry employment Opportunities (Adult) Reentry employment Opportunities (Youth) YouthBuild Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) H-1B Job Training Grants Job Corps Senior Community Service employment Program (SCSEP) PIRL Reporting Online Resource 5 What is not included?

7 This Resource does not cover data and Reporting for WIOA Titles II (Adult Education and Family Literacy Programs) and IV (Vocational Rehabilitation Services). Information on Reporting for those programs can be found through the Department of Education (ED) Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education and Rehabilitation Services Administration. What is the public workforce development system? The public workforce development system provides resources, services, and tools to support individuals and businesses in developing and maintaining a workforce to support a thriving economy throughout the nation.

8 The public workforce development system was reaffirmed when WIOA was signed into law on July 22, 2014. WIOA is designed to help job seekers access employment , education, training, and supportive services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy. WIOA integrates workforce development services by bringing together the following core programs for planning, service delivery, and performance Reporting : employment and training services for Adults, Dislocated Workers, and Youth (Title I) administered by DOL; Adult Education and Family Literacy Act programs (Title II) administered by ED; Wagner-Peyser Act employment Services (Title III) administered by DOL.

9 And Vocational Rehabilitation Services programs that assist eligible individuals with disabilities in obtaining employment (Title IV) administered by ED. WIOA also authorizes non-core programs for specific vulnerable populations, including Job Corps, YouthBuild, the Indian and Native American Program, and the National Farmworker Jobs Program, as well as evaluation and multistate projects administered by DOL and other programs administered by ED and the Department of Health and Human Services. Another portion of the public workforce development system is made up of key programs authorized outside of WIOA.

10 These include the following: The Trade Adjustment Assistance program authorized by the Trade Adjustment Assistance Reauthorization Act of 2015; The H-1B Job Training Grants; and The Senior Community Service employment Program, a community service and work-based job training program for older Americans authorized by the Older Americans Act. Another key element of the public workforce development system is the Monitor Advocate System, which was implemented under the authority of the Wagner-Peyser Act to ensure migrant and seasonal farmworkers (MSFW) receive services that are qualitatively equivalent and quantitatively proportionate to the services provided to all other job seekers.
