Description
The Department of Labor’s (DOL’s) Performance Management Center and the Chief Evaluation Office are working collaboratively with the Office of Management and Budget to implement the Evidence Act. This webinar session describes relevant examples of evaluation readiness and capacity aspects for state and local workforce agencies to consider as they move forward with incorporating evaluation and evidence into strategic planning. In particular, the audience will learn about how DOL: 1) engages key agencies when integrating evaluation into planning activities and developing an evidence portfolio, 2) utilizes evaluation resources and cultivates agency support for evaluation, 3) prioritizes and invests in evaluation, 4) accesses to longitudinal data and leverages federally collected data, and 5) relies on in-house staff capacity and third-party evaluators. To keep the webinar interactive, participants will have the opportunity to pose questions about how evidence is used to inform strategic planning.
