The Chicago Jobs Council is an organization that works with its members to ensure access to employment and career advancement opportunities for people in poverty. Through advocacy, applied research, capacity-building, and public education, CJC aims to influence the development or reform of public policies and programs that guide and support welfare-to-work, workforce development, economic development and other initiatives that lead to jobs. We carry out our mission through a “working group process”: in monthly meetings, members identify and refine the issues where action is needed and likely to produce beneficial results for our constituents. Members and staff then analyze the issues, determine strategies, and carry out plans cooperatively, often engaging other coalitions and partners.

Past Working Group materials can be found at: http://cjc.net/resources/working-group/ For more information or to suggest working group topics please contact Crispina Ojeda, at crispina@cjc.net or 312.252.0464 or Dan Lyonsmith, at dan@cjc.net or 312.252.0461.

To help our students meet the demands of a changing world, we must

focus on four critical goals

• 1Since there are economic (as well as social and personal) returns to a college credential and since higher level credentials have higher value, a credential of "economic value" is one that: a) Prepares students to succeed at the next level of education (including maximizing the number of credits that transfer where applicable), whether that be the associate

degree program (for certificates) or bachelor's degree programs, thereby increasing their potential lifetime earnings; b) Enables career and technical education program students to advance in the labor market either by moving up in their current job or securing a better job.

• 2ABE is Adult Basic Education, courses are for students testing at the 1st through 8th grade levels, GED is General Educational Development for students to prepare for high school equivalency, ESL is English as a Second Language, courses provide instruction for non-native English speakers . 2

▪ Increase number of students

earning college credentials of

economic value1 ▪ Increase rate of transfer to

bachelor’s degree programs

following CCC graduation

▪ Drastically improve outcomes for

students requiring remediation

▪ Increase number and share of

ABE/GED/ESL2 students who

advance to and succeed in college-

level courses

Reinvention Goals

Reinvention Vision

Foster public understanding of the need for constructive change and solicit

public advice on achieving CCC’s educational goals.

leadership for improving community life.

Questions

Workforce Innovation Fund

The Chicago Cook Workforce Partnership was awarded a $3 million Workforce Innovation Fund grant

Project:

Design, implement and test an integrated workforce information system (IWIS) that contains comprehensive and useful program- and client-specific measures that will support varied reporting capabilities and provide the information necessary to adequately serve the needs of the program clients

Purpose:

Reduce the challenges of duplicative data entry, enhance the information available for organizational management, and provide funders with a more realistic view of the services provided that lead to positive final outcomes

Goal:

Improve credential attainment, employment and earnings results for client customers by using data-based decision making to improve the assessment of client skills and barriers, leading to improved referral of clients to services, training opportunities and job openings

IWIS will build on prior initiatives and research

• Public/Private Ventures Benchmarking Project

• Peer Learning Network (workforce grantees of Boeing, Fry, McCormick & Polk Bros. Foundations)

• Chapin Hall’s “Inside the Black Box: What Makes Workforce Development Programs Successful?” research

The project has two main components

Integrated Workforce Information System (IWIS)

Interface with other data management systems

Allow better tracking and analysis of data on all program participants regardless of funding stream

Allow analysis of all client services, interim participant achievements and progress

Provide programs the ability to assess process measures for self-assessment

Improve the methods and content of what programs report to funders, including being flexible to account for different participants and program types

Aptitude, Interest, and Demand (AID) intake model

Establish a comprehensive assessment tool to be used universally throughout the region

Help assess job seeker’s capacity to perform high demand/high growth work

Create an inventory of client certifications

Allow for better evaluation of workforce barriers

Provide for dual assessment of applicant’s interest in target industries and motivation for conducting job search activities

Activities

Stakeholder engagement to build consensus on goals, functionality and measures of IWIS

Data sharing agreements with public and private agency partners

Research regarding the requirements for IWIS and work with prospective users to document their needs (SRC)

Creation of a detailed design for IWIS as well as construction and testing of the pilot version of the system and implementation of the production version system (SDC)

Conduct an evaluation and collect the data needed to demonstrate key project outcomes to ensure that project results can be documented as evidence-based.

A leadership team will oversee progress

WIF leadership team:

• Lloyd A. Fry Foundation

• Joyce Foundation

• McCormick Foundation

• Polk Bros. Foundation

State level partners:

• Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO)

• Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES)

• Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS)

Budgeting for Results Update

September 11, 2012

Budgeting for Results is a process by which resources are allocated based on how effectively a program

or service achieves established objectives. This new process is being implemented by the State of Illinois

as a multi-year endeavor that will replace the use of historical funding levels for budget allocation.

The Budgeting for Results Commission will be holding public hearings from 1-4 pm:

Monday, September 24th in Chicago at the Michael A. Bilandic Building, 160

North LaSalle Street.

Wednesday, October 3rd in Carbondale at the Southern Illinois University

(SIU) Dunn Richmond Center, 150 E. Pleasant Hill Road.

Thursday, October 4th in Springfield in Room 212 State House, 401 South 2nd

Street.

For more information please go to: Budget.Illinois.Gov

The Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Book (chapter 5) breaks down each state agency’s allocations by its

Budgeting for Results goals, lists the agency programs and their performance metrics. Some of the
