A suite of user-friendly reporting tools provides easy access for anyone who is interested in learning about the results that Oregon's workforce system produces for its customers.
The workforce system also serves employers by providing job listings, applicant screening, and labor market information.
Workforce data include Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Vocational Rehabilitation, SNAP (Food Stamps), Title I (Youth, Adults, and Dislocated Workers), Employment Services, Unemployment Insurance, and Trade Act (provides assistance to individuals who become totally or partially unemployed due to the impact of international trade).
PRISM works by matching information about customers' workforce program participation against quarterly Unemployment Insurance wage records, data from Oregon's education system, and feedback obtained through customer satisfaction surveys.
This information is combined into 12 performance measures that describe customer outcomes and experiences after they have received workforce and education services.
