1. FUNDING PURPOSE
WIOA Section 116(e) requires that the State, local boards, and state agencies conduct evaluations to
"promote, establish, implement, and utilize methods for continuously improving core program activities in
order to achieve high-level performance within, and high-level outcomes from, the workforce development
system." The statute further requires that these evaluations "use designs that employ the most rigorous
analytical and statistical methods that are reasonably feasible," and encompass all core WIOA programs
within the statewide workforce system.
2. USE OF FUNDS
Funds may be used to help defray the costs associated with internal evaluation activities (e.g. staff,
materials, and supplies, etc.). Please note that the funds are discretionary and may not be used to cover
any administrative costs.
To request funding, the local area must develop a one -to -two page evaluation staffing plan that identifies
how the $20,000 - $25,000 will be used (i.e. cost categories), plus the duties and functions of the evaluation
lead. FY21 funds are for current year evaluations and FY22 funds are for the following year's evaluation.
(Note: The FY21 budget can be backdated to October 1, 2021, if needed.)

Denver, CO. 80202
Dear Ms. Bauknecht,
Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) is requesting $25,000 to conduct WIOA Program Evaluations
in Program Year 21 and Program Year 22. These funds will cover .25 FTE as a program cost each year.
Currently, ESWC plans to approach evaluations using an internal employee. The recommended employee
has been with ESWC for 9+ years, is objective in that their primary duty is not the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act and has the availability to conduct the study expeditiously in addition to their other duties.
In developing the staffing plan, ESWC has chosen to utilize the outcome study as the program evaluation
type. According to the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office
of Policy Development and Research, the definition is as follows:
An outcome study compares individual outcomes against goals, across programs or locations, or
over time. Outcome studies differ from impact studies in one key area of comparative data analysis.
Essentially, outcome studies determine if programs achieve the desired results or assess the
effectiveness of programs to produce change. Nevertheless, outcomes are often thought (by
program staff, not program evaluators) to indicate measurable change or "impact" when outcomes
are compared over time or across comparable programs.
Using a cross-sectional study, ESWC will analyze certain populations served within Weld County during
Program Year 21 and Program Year 22, in the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult,
Dislocated Worker, and Youth programs. For example, ESWC can determine the success rate of Veterans
entering a WIOA program with no post -secondary education and obtaining a credential versus Veterans
with a post -secondary education doing the same. Another scenario is the success rate of individuals 16 — 24
earning their High School Equivalency versus those aged 25 — 33 enrolled to do the same.
Every month, the designated evaluator will utilize Connecting Colorado to study program participants'
characteristics and outcomes before, during, and after program participation. ESWC will conduct the study
in program year intervals, July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, and July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023, to capture the
most participants possible. The data will be collected in an Excel Workbook to include program enrollment
date, the highest level of education completed at enrollment, points in time showing a continuation of
program enrollment, and obtainment of their HSE or a credential, including the date to capture the length
of time.

ESWC is open to sharing the results as a promising practice or lesson learned. Should the Regional Liaison
and reviewers want to clarify any point in this staffing plan or provide recommendations to ensure success,
please do not hesitate to reach out.
