| ES Goal 10: | The USACareers Web-based system is placed in 100 universities and colleges with diverse enrollments in academic disciplines related to mission-critical occupations in Government to enhance agency recruitment efforts. |
|---|
The USACareers Web-based system is a state-of-the-art career planning and development system that can be used by students to perform comprehensive diagnostics of their skills, identify their strengths and weaknesses, obtain feedback on occupational choices and link then to Federal career opportunities. The system is available on a subscription-basis, and ES will continue to offer it on this basis to publicly funded educational institutions. ES has requested additional funding to place the system in educational institutions who cannot afford the fees, or who are privately funded and therefore unable to contract for the system. These placements would include 100 universities and colleges with diverse enrollments in academic disciplines related to mission-critical occupations in Government, and high schools and other locations where the system could be used to support school-to-work initiatives such as Welfare to Work.

 |
Using data collected by the Employment Service, place USACareers systems in 100 universities and colleges with diverse enrollments in academic disciplines related to mission-critical occupations in Government. |
| |
Place USACareers systems in selected high schools and other locations where case workers and counselors could use the system for job placement and training counseling. | |
 |
|
USACareers usage will increase (as measured by increased hits to the Web-based system). |
| |
Longitudinal studies conducted in conjunction with the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) will monitor increases in numbers of students hired from the schools where USACareers is placed. | |
| |
Agencies indicate that recruitment of diverse, high-quality candidates is enhanced (as measured through the OPM Customer Satisfaction Survey) and through specific follow-up with agencies to assess recruitment. Because this is an FY 1999/2000 initiative, there were no data to report from the baseline FY 1998 survey. | |
| |
Welfare to Work and other school-to-work initiatives show gains in individuals moving into paid employment. | |
