Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 Establishment of the Performance Standards System - In accordance with the
			 requirements of Section 106 of the Act the Department shall prescribe
			 performance standards for adult and youth training programs under Title IIA and
			 dislocated worker programs under Title III of JTPA. The U.S. Department of
			 Labor (U.S. DOL) issued current directives on performance standards
			 requirements in the April 13, 1990 edition of the Federal Register (55 FR
			 14012-14018) and the "Guide for Setting JTPA Title II-A and Title III (EDWAA)
			 Performance Standards for PY 1990", issued November 1990, by the U.S. DOL
			 Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Development. To measure and achieve
			 national goals of long-term employability and economic self-sufficiency, U.S.
			 DOL has issued six core performance standards for PY'90 and PY'91. Although
			 governors are required to use the six core performance measures imposed by U.S.
			 DOL, governors are permitted, within guidelines established by U.S. DOL, to
			 adjust national standards in setting the performance expectations for the SDAs.
			 In light of this flexibility the State of Illinois has developed performance
			 standards models based on statewide data. The performance standards are based
			 on statistical planning models which use multiple regresssion techniques to
			 predict expected performance of SDAs for each measure of performance. The
			 models adjust for local economic conditions and the characteristics of the
			 participants served by the SDA. The weighted values in the model have been
			 based on prior performance of the JTPA. Application of the adjustment models
			 result in a singular performance expectation (model adjusted value) for each of
			 the performance measures. The six core performance measures used for program
			 evaluation are as follows:
1) Adult
A) Follow-up Employment Rate (AFER) - Total
			 number of adult respondents who were employed (full-time or part-time) during
			 the 13th full calendar week after termination, divided by the total number of
			 adult respondents (i.e., terminees who completed follow-up
			 interviews).
B) Adult Weekly
			 Earnings at Follow-up (AFEARN) - Total weekly earnings for all adult
			 respondents employed during the 13th full calendar week after termination,
			 divided by the total number of adult respondents employed at the time of
			 follow-up.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 56 - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT › Part 2625 - ECONOMIC DISLOCATION AND WORKER ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE › Section 2625.40 - Title III Substate Area

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 Designation of Substate Area
The Department on behalf of the Governor may initiate an
				application process for Private Industry Councils and local chief elected
				officials to request designation as a substate area under the Act to take
				effect at the start of Program Year 1989. The process for designation and
				redesignation of substate areas shall conform with the requirements of Section
				312(a) of the Act and 54 FR 39144 (codified at
				20 CFR
				631.34 (April 1, 1990)) (September 22, 1989).
				Redesignation of substate areas shall not take place more frequently than once
				every two years and shall not be made later than four months before the
				beginning of a program year. In considering whether to initiate an application
				process for designation, the Department shall ensure that each Service Delivery
				Area (SDA) within the State is included within a substate area and that no SDA
				is divided among two or more substate areas; ensure the recommendations of the
				IJTCC are forwarded to the Governor's office; consider the availability of
				administrative funds to support the existing SDA administrative structure; and,
				consider the capacity available in the substate areas to achieve or exceed
				performance standards. The IJTCC shall recommend to the Governor a map of the
				State identifying the geographical area to be included in each substate area.
				Pursuant to Section 4(c) of the Illinois Job Training Coordinating Council Act
				(Ill. Rev. Stat. 1989, ch. 48, par. 2104), these recommendations shall be
				forwarded to the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of
				Representatives, or their designees, for review and comment by the Illinois
				General Assembly. In addition to criteria which may be identified by the IJTCC,
				the IJTCC shall consider the following criteria prior to making recommendations
				to the Governor on designation and redesignation:
1) the availability of services throughout
			 the State;
2) the capability to
			 coordinate the delivery of services with other human service and economic
			 development programs;
3) the
			 geographic boundaries of labor market areas within the State;
4) the adequacy of estimated available funds
			 to support the administrative expenses of proposed substate areas;
5) the potential impact of designation and
			 redesignation decisions on the ability to maintain existing effective local
			 relationships established for the provision of employment and training services
			 (e.g., agreements among local chief elected officials).
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 56 - LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT › Part 2625 - ECONOMIC DISLOCATION AND WORKER ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE › Section 2625.50 - Designation of Substate Grantees

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 Transition Provisions - Provisions of this subsection shall apply to the
			 initial designation of the substate grantee to implement the provisions of the
			 Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Assistance Act. In each substate
			 area designated by the Governor pursuant to Section
			 2625.40,
			 a substate grantee shall be designated in accordance with Section 312(b) of the
			 Act. Pursuant to the transition provisions specified at 54 FR 39147-39148
			 (codified at 20 CFR 631.70(c) (April 1, 1990)) (September 22, 1989), the
			 effective period of this designation shall end June 30, 1990. The chief elected
			 officials (CEO) and the Private Industry Council (PIC) for each substate area
			 shall recommend to the Governor an entity as substate grantee. In any case in
			 which there are two or more units of general local government, the CEO of such
			 units shall negotiate with the PIC in a manner consistent with the agreements
			 established pursuant to Sections 102(d)(2) and 103(b) of the Act to arrive at a
			 recommendation. In any case where the Governor concurs with the joint
			 recommendation of the CEO and PIC, the Department shall forward a written
			 agreement to the CEO and PIC for signatures to execute the agreement with the
			 Governor. In any area where the CEO and the PIC cannot reach agreement, the CEO
			 and PIC shall forward separate recommendations to the Governor. The Department
			 shall distribute written instructions for the submittal of recommendations. In
			 any case where the Governor is not in agreement with the CEO and PIC
			 recommendation, or the CEO and PIC are not in agreement, the Department shall
			 first attempt to negotiate a consensus recommendation. In the event a consensus
			 recommendation cannot be reached, the Governor shall select the substate
			 grantee. In attempting to negotiate a consensus recommendation or, in the
			 absence of consensus, when designating the substate grantee, the Governor shall
			 consider the following:
1) The degree to
			 which the designation will contribute to the elimination of duplication of
			 services;
2) The degree to which
			 the designation will foster coordination of services with other programs under
			 the Act;
3) The ability of the
			 agency recommended to deliver services as evidenced by past experience in the
			 administration of employment and training programs; and,
4) The degree to which the proposed
			 designation capitalizes on the expertise of the Regional Dislocated Worker
			 Centers established under previous statute.
