GoSprout empowers those responsible for WIPS reporting by streamlining the data collection and reporting process. Here’s a breakdown of how it operates:
Quarterly Performance Reports (QPR)
GoSprout automates the collection and reporting of participant data required for the ETA-9173-APPSHP form. Key features include:
- Real-time tracking of apprentices' progress, such as enrollment numbers, completions, and wage increases, ensuring accurate data aggregation for quarterly reporting.
- Automated generation of WIPS-ready reports in compliant formats (like CSV files) for easy upload to the WIPS portal.
- Built-in data validation tools that catch and correct errors early, reducing the chance of submission delays.
Quarterly Narrative Reports (QNR)
GoSprout provides a centralized system for documenting program updates, which simplifies the preparation of QNRs. It offers:
- Centralized logging for activities such as employer engagements and apprentice progress, ensuring all qualitative data is in one place.
- Customizable templates that map narrative fields directly to QNR requirements, ensuring compliance and completeness.
Quarterly Financial Reports (QFR)
GoSprout’s financial tracking capabilities support the ETA-9130 form, making QFR preparation easier by:
- Tracking expenditures in alignment with grant guidelines, ensuring financial compliance.
- Integrating financial data with apprenticeship outcomes for a more comprehensive view of the program.
Data Validation and Compliance Checks
GoSprout’s robust data validation system runs compliance checks on all WIPS data before submission, identifying and fixing common errors, saving time, and preventing delays.
Participant Individual Record Layout (PIRL) Requirements
GoSprout supports the FULL PIRL schema, making it ideal for all reporting possibilities. The platform supports PIRL schema versions 2018, 2020, and 2021, ensuring compatibility with various WIPS reporting requirements. GoSprout automates PIRL data collection and management, minimizing manual intervention and ensuring readiness for submission across different program years.
