measured by one or more of the
following: (#) (#) (#) (%)

I. The total unduplicated number of participants who were seeking employment or
seeking to improve an employment situation, and who were enrolled in programs that
were part of the agency’s efforts to achieve these goals.

II. The number of participants who were expected to achieve the outcome identified in the
subcategories. In many cases, this target number can be found in the grants or contracts
of the particular funding source that supports the efforts, or is identified through the
CAA’s ROMA (Results Oriented Management and Accountability) targeting process.

III. Number of participants in I (above) who actually achieved the outcome identified in
the subcategories within the reporting period. This number must be based on verification
that an outcome has actually been achieved, and must be supported by appropriate
documentation.

IV. The proportion of program participants who actually achieved an outcome (III) divided
by the total number of participants expected to achieve the outcome (II). The IS Survey
database will automatically calculate this success rate of targeting (III/II=IV).

NPI 1.1 Examples

A. Unemployed and Obtained a Job

Examples of situations that may generate outcomes to be reported in this indicator:

o Unemployed participants engaged in CAA programs that specifically focus on
employment training or placement (such as those funded by CSBG, TANF, WIA or other
sources) who obtain a job

o Unemployed participants engaged in case-management, which focuses on self-
sufficiency, achieve employment as part of their overall progress toward self-sufficiency

o Unemployed parents of Head Start or other child development program who obtain initial
employment in the context of parent and family development services
