Other tables include participants from same year only
Time lag for reporting up to 1 year after exit:
Employment measures must also account for time lag for UI database.
Full data will not be reported until the FY2019 report.
Use this to show the variety of measures on Table 5 and how it is different than the other NRS Tables. Emphasize the delay in reporting due to student exit and data match.

3. FY2018 Table 5 – partial reporting year (FY2018)
Us this to show how the measures are listed on Table 5. The Table includes and First PoP (unduplicated) count and a Total PoPs count (duplicated).

5. Employment Measure Time Line
For a Learner Exiting in the First Quarter
Use this slide to explain the two employment measures. If a student exited in the first quarter of a fiscal year, we check to see if they were employed in the second quarter after exit and the fourth quarter after exit.

6. Second-Quarter Employment and Median Earnings Reporting Time Lines
For Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020
FY2019
FY2020
Due to the time lag, the outcome achievements that are happening in second quarter employment/median earnings right now, the 2nd quarter of fiscal year 2019, will not be reported until October Likewise, achievement from FY2020 will not be reported until October 2021.

7. Reporting Fourth-Quarter Employment and Credential Indicator
For a learner exiting the first quarter
This slide shows the basics of how the 4th quarter employment and credential attainment indicator works. If a student exits in the first quarter, we check to see if he/she is employed the 4th quarter after exit.

1st half of FY19
It’s not until October of 2020 that we report activity that is happening right now.

10. Relevancy to You
Due to changes in reporting under WIOA, Table 5 is NOT a timely measure of transition activities or successes
Programs must provide ongoing activities that demonstrate the local program is promoting postsecondary education, training, and work/career opportunities throughout its assigned service delivery area
Documentation of transition activities with students, staff, and partners is critical to support your efforts = Monthly Transition Log
Work of Transition Specialists relate strongly to the Basic Career Services Activities detailed in WIOA
