Abstract: The purpose of this publication is to present the Executive Summary of the Program Year 2004 report on Iowa's adult literacy program benchmarks. The passage of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 [Public Law 105-220] by the 105th Congress ushered in a new era of collaboration, coordination, cooperation and accountability. The overall goal of the Act is "to increase the employment, retention, and earnings of participants, and increase occupational skill attainment by participants, and, as a result improve the quality of the workforce, reduce welfare dependency, and enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the Nation." The key principles inculcated in the Act are: (1) Streamlining services; (2) Empowering individuals; (3) Universal access; (4) Increased accountability; (5) New roles for local boards; (6) State and local flexibility; and (7) Improved youth programs. This report provides base line benchmark data against which succeeding program year's benchmark data can be evaluated. The benchmark data can serve as the basis for local and state program improvement for Program Year 2005. The overall goal for benchmark improvement for Program Year 2005 is to increase overall benchmark attainment from 94% to 97%. (Contains 13 exhibits, 12 tables, and 5 footnotes.)
