Performance Measures
Youth Performance Measures
There are four (4) older youth program performance measures and three (3) younger youth program performance measures. In addition, there are two (2) performance measures for Customer Satisfaction - Participant and Employer. Each state negotiates an expected level of performance for each measure with the US Department of Labor (USDOL). In the future, each region will negotiate their own expected level of performance for each measure with the state.
The performance measure level is considered acceptable if it exceeds at least eighty (80%) percent.
If the state does not meet its expected performance levels, sanctions may occur from the USDOL.
