YouthBuild programs are in a time of transition right now, as we work toward creating functionality to report fully on the six WIOA performance indicators. With such a strong focus on this performance reporting transition, we wanted to remind grantees of the importance of good data management practices to ensure you have accurate data and ways to ensure you’re not missing data during a period of transition for performance reporting and a period of transition with the reporting system. Data management, technology, and online reporting tools are an increasingly important part of every YouthBuild program’s work. When properly executed, this work helps program leadership assess and measure success, identify curriculum and programmatic weaknesses, and allocate resources to better serve young people. Data management work is YouthBuild work. In this month’s newsletter, we highlight two core approaches to YouthBuild data management - timing and staffing. ~ Jenn Smith, National YouthBuild Director, U.S. Department of Labor
