Early implementation allowed for a lot of DOL focus and PA’s ability to influence federal policy
Promoted integration among partners by “speaking the same language”
Single Entrance, Single Exit is the key concept for common measures and service integration

Once the bulk of the issues were resolved, it was time to see what changes would be
needed to accommodate common measures within the Pennsylvania
CareerLink Operating System.

PA Experience (cont’d)Pennsylvania has always had all Workforce Development Programs in the PA CareerLink
Operating System
• Now the challenge was to tie them together
• Changes were necessary for integrating the delivery of service and for composite reporting
• This allowed us to identify the “common start” and “common exit” for common measures
11

System Process
“At-Time-of-Participation” data elements were identified and added to the system
These elements are now collected when the first “Value Added Service” is added for each program

System Process
• EE01 for WP Participations
• TE01 for TAA Participations
• WE01 for WIA Participations
• SE01 for Self-Service Participations
• Counted as a separate program to track performance
13

System Process• When the first Value Added Service is added
for each program, the system presents and collects the “At-Time-of-Participation” data
• With each new Participation created, the system tracks:
– the service that triggers the participation
– the participation start date
– the projected “Anticipated Exit” from the program

“Program” participation information is displayed to the staff for each participant.
Staff can always view a participant’s common
measures program activity

All “common measures” activity including the “Anticipated Exit” is centralized on the
Common Measures Program Activity Log

Common Measures Program Activity Log
CMPA Log:
• Identifies “Participants & Exiters” for each report
• Ties participants together by creating a “Program Cycle” based on service activity
• Participants fall within a “Reporting Cycle” in order to determine common participation start and exit dates
