This grant, offered by the Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA), provides approximately $12.1 million for the Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI). State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) not previously funded can apply for up to $1 million over 36 months. The purpose is to enable SWAs to develop and utilize state workforce longitudinal administrative data systems. These systems will integrate information on training, employment services, and unemployment insurance, linked at the individual level. The goal is to enhance program evaluation and provide better information for workforce system stakeholders. Furthermore, these systems must connect with the U.S. Department of Education’s Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) databases, allowing for the design, development, or improvement of state workforce data infrastructure.

| Description: | The Department of Labors Employment and Training Administration (ETA) announces the availability of approximately $12.1 million from funds made available through the Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 DOL appropriation for Training and Employment Services for grants to State Workforce Agencies (SWA) to develop the Workforce Data Quality Initiative (WDQI). ETA expects to award approximately twelve grants of up to $1 million each for a 36 month period of performance. This performance period includes all necessary implementation and start-up activities. Eligible applicants for this solicitation are those SWAs within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands that were not recipients of a round one WDQI grant (as a result of solicitation SGA/DFA PY 09-10). Grants awarded will provide SWAs the opportunity to develop and use State workforce longitudinal administrative data systems. These State longitudinal data systems will, at a minimum, include information on programs that provide training, employment services, and unemployment insurance. These systems must also be linked longitudinally at the individual level to allow for analysis which will lead to enhanced opportunity for program evaluation and lead to better information for customers and stakeholders of the workforce system. In addition, these systems must connect with the U.S. Department of Educations (ED) Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) databases. Where such longitudinal systems do not exist or are incipient, WDQI grant assistance may be used to design and develop workforce data systems that are longitudinal and which are designed to link with relevant education data or longitudinal education data systems. WDQI grant assistance may also be used to improve upon and more effectively use existing State longitudinal systems. |
