Improving Training and Employment Outcomes with Workforce Development Software

Why is efficient workforce development software more important than ever?

With more than 46 million Americans living below the official poverty line, including millions of working people who are not paid a living wage, it is more critical than ever that high-quality workforce development services are available in every community.

Helping low-income Americans achieve economic self-sufficiency requires in-depth tracking and a strong understanding of the impact your efforts are having on the lives of your participants.

In turn, the right human services software can make all the difference between a workforce development program overburdened by administrative tasks and one that operates seamlessly. Efficient workforce development software allows for more time and resources to be dedicated to what matters most: improving the lives of the job-seekers you serve by empowering them towards self-sufficiency.

Workforce Development Software That Supports Payment Points

With its powerful tracking, reporting and sophisticated analysis at every phase of workforce development, Effort to Outcomes (ETOTM) Workforce software helps you record the daily efforts of your job coaches and measure the impact your program is having on your participants at easily-configurable payment points in core program areas such as:

  • Training completion
  • Job readiness/Employment preparation

    Quickly evaluate client needs with a simple assessment; track client progress towards training and employment credentials

  • Job placement

    Engage prospective employers in the process; easily refer clients to your own or external programs; dramatically increase the quantity and quality of your workforce development agency’s job placements

  • Job retention

    Monitor and report on job retention rate after 30 days, 60 days, and multiple, other critical time periods; instantly compute quantity and type of benefits for your entire client base or for subpopulations within the communities you serve (e.g. persons with disabilities, at-risk youth, adult ex-offenders)

  • Benefits received and hours logged
  • Employment advancement

Your agency can then leverage that information to improve workforce development services.

ETO Workforce is the ideal workforce development software solution for facilitating placements, whether your organization drives competitive or supported employment.

Managing the Employer Relationship

Successful workforce development services require relationships built on service, trust and the ability to match the strengths of the candidate with the needs of the employer. ETO Workforce software facilitates job matching through its repository of key data on both employers and candidates:

Employer Candidate
*Contact names *Required identification documents
*Qualifiers, e.g. drug testing or background checks *Certification documents
*Skills needed to perform the work *Skill sets with at least 6 months experience
*Dress *Up to date resume, with education and training information
*Shifts *Availability
*Access to public transportation *Use of a vehicle for transportation
*Site locations  
*Lifting restrictions  
*Benefits  


In addition, ETO software will help you manage the whole placement process to include job readiness status, resume submittal, interviews, evaluations, job placement documentation and tracking and monitoring job retention with both the employer and the job candidate.

Following this process leads to more successful job placements which strengthen your employer relationships. This, in turn, results in more, better job opportunities for your clients. Through ETO Workforce’s dynamic reporting capability you will also be able to document these successes and identify barriers holding you back from even greater levels of performance.
