<br />Declaration: As stated in the CWDB credentialing policy framework- the USDOL guidance offers a clear definition of

<br />committed to the overall goal of increase efficiencies and innovations in the workforce development system.

<br />collaborations to leverage and braid CTE and workforce funding streams to build capacity to meet regional needs.

<br />TRACKING CREDENTIAL ATTAINMENT The local boards and partners collectively in the OC RPU will develop a
<br />system to share data in order to track credential attainment and measure total contributions of industry recognized credentials
<br />produced by the partners collectively in the RPU.
<br />Measurable goals to track credential attainment:
<br />• Percentage of participants in unsubsidized employment during 2nd quarter after credential attainment
<br />• Percentage of program participants in unsubsidized employment during the 4th quarter after credential attainment
<br />• Percentage of participants who are gainfully employed within 1 year after completion of a recognized post- secondary
<br />credential, secondary school diploma or equivalent
<br />Regional goals to track credential attainment:
<br />• Coordination and collaboration with system partners to develop a process to share data across systems that will help
<br />track participants and recognized post- secondary credential attainment linked to gainful employment
<br />• Indicators of effectiveness in serving businesses' needs through analysis of credential attainment linked to
<br />employment trends in the region
<br />Declaration: Credential programs are accountable to participants and business. This begs the inclusion of an evaluation
<br />and tracking process that examines programs, providers, and aligns performance accountability and data systems to support
<br />valuable credential attainment. All partners' individual regional goals were cross - referenced to align with State Plan goals and
<br />policies to establish comprehensive and inclusive regional goals for the OC Region's plan around industry recognized
<br />credentials as part of the regional sector pathway.
