Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Core Program Performance Accountability Assessment for Program Year (PY) 2025

Consistent with Joint Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Final Rule requirements, the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education (the Departments) have determined it is appropriate and reasonable in Program Year (PY) 2025 for the:

• U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to assess performance for five performance indicators under WIOA Title I core programs and three performance indicators under the Employment Service (referred to as "WIOA Title III") core program;
• U.S. Department of Education (ED) to assess performance for five performance indicators under the Vocational Rehabilitation ("WIOA Title IV") core program;
• U.S. Department of Education (ED) to assess performance for four performance indicators under the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act ("WIOA Title II") core program; and
• Departments to delay assessing performance for the purpose of imposing sanctions for one performance indicator in the WIOA Title II core program to provide for the orderly transition from the requirements of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA) to those of WIOA, as permitted under section 503(a) of WIOA.

The Departments' determinations, as will be described more fully herein, are consistent with the phased-in approach to performance assessments described in Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL) No. 11-19, Change 2 issued on January 6, 2025.
