When will WIOA be reauthorized?
WIOA expired in 2020. WIOA reauthorization passed the House in the spring of 2022 but has remained stalled in Senate committees. While funds are still being appropriated as a part of yearly budgets, full reauthorization is critical to ensuring that funding and program requirements are scaled to meet the needs of today's labor force.
Required Reporting for Adult Ed Programs
WIOA requires programs to report a common set of performance indicators and participant demographic information to the National Reporting System (NRS).
Reporting can be complex and must be standardized in pre-configured NRS tables. Many programs utilize modern adult education reporting software to simplify and streamline their reporting processes.
