This review provides a snapshot of ETA programs and their progress in achieving goals of helping people find jobs and connecting workers to employers. It serves as a starting point for further inquiry and analysis of program performance.
The WIASRD is submitted by states to ETA on an annual basis. The WIASRD files contain detailed information on program completers (i.e., exiters), including demographics, types of services received, and outcomes attained as a result of participating in the program. Under this link, you can explore the national Data Books, which contain “slices and dices” of performance information available in the WIASRD. In addition, you can view broad summaries of the WIASRD information through the Final WIASRD Exiter links.
WIASRD Databook:
There are four sections to the databook: I. Summary Comparisons across Programs, II Adult Exiters, III Dislocated Worker Exiters, and IV Youth Exiters
FRED: Federal Reporting & Evaluation Database The Federal Research and Evaluation Database (FRED) enables analysis of the Workforce Investment Act Standardized Record Data (WIASRD), which is data annually submitted by states on WIA exiters' demographic characteristics, the services they received, and the outcomes they achieved after exit. FRED currently contains information on exiters from the PY06 WIASRD.
