National Calls - Specific Topics
In addition to hosting National All Calls, the Ticket Program Manager (TPM) periodically hosts national calls surrounding specific topics such as the Annual Performance Outcome Report (APOR) and the Services and Supports Review process. While some of these calls such as the APOR call occur each year, others such as the Services and Supports Review call were a single event that took place in response to change in policy. Below is an archive of the presentation material used on the call, any supplemental materials relevant to the topics, and any available transcripts or audio recordings of the webinar.
Annual Performance Outcome Report (APOR)
Employment Networks (EN) are required annually to provide information to TPM on outcomes it achieves with respect to services it offers beneficiaries. The Annual Performance Outcome Report (APOR) is used to collect this information.
Some information provided in the APOR is used, along with beneficiary satisfaction data, to populate the EN Report Card. Each year the Ticket Program Manager hosts a call to help ENs prepare for the APOR. Information and documentation used during the call and sent to ENs prior to the APOR's release, are archived on this page.
| Fiscal Year | APOR Submission Date | APOR Materials |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | March 11, 2016 | |
| 2014 | February 28, 2015 |
Effective Practices Webinar Series
The Effective Practices Webinar Series is designed as a platform for peer learning, and we selected the practices most replicable and adaptable for use among ENs, State VR agencies and Workforce development systems to feature. During the monthly forums, Employment Networks (EN) and State Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) agencies will share tested practices, partnerships, and business models with a track record of beneficiary employment results leading to self-sufficiency.
The Effective Practices Webinar Series took place January - July 2013. Materials from the past webinars are below:
