Career Dislocated Workers Grant Guide

performance accountability purposes, but must be included in the calculation of the other performance indicators. E. Measurable Skill Gains: The percentage of program participants who, during a program year, are in an education or training program that leads to a recognized postsecondary credential or employment and who are achieving measurable skill gains, defined as documented academic, technical, occupational, or other forms of progress, towards such a credential or employment. F. Effectiveness in Serving Employers: The NDWG program will utilize “retention with the same employer in the 2nd and 4th quarter after exit” to measure Effectiveness in Serving Employers. The methodologies of calculating most of the primary indicators of performance are written as equations (see TEGL 10-16, Change 1, Attachment 10), clearly identifying what cohorts are in the numerator and what cohorts are in the denominator. The CAREER NDWG Program operates on a set of local performance measures, as defined in our Statement of Work.
