Workforce Examples
In 2022, the Workforce Development Board of Central Ohio (WDBCO) released performance-based RFPs for in-school and out-of-school youth with performance payments for priority outcomes. The contract specifies performance metrics beyond WIOA Common Measures. These additional metrics account for 35% of the total reimbursable costs of the contract in the first and second years. Each performance metric has been assigned a "performance success target,” which is the minimum level of performance the provider must meet in order to be reimbursed up to 100% of their contract.
The Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA), signed into law in 2018 and overseen by the U.S. Department of Treasury, is intended to increase employment and earnings of low income individuals who may experience barriers to employment and increase the financial stability of low-income families. Funding for training providers is distributed according to a tiered outcome payment scheme based on levels of success in achieving this outcome.
