Data Management
Department of Labor
The U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration
(ETA), is responsible for administering over five thousand grant initiatives
in order to promote “job training, employment, labor market information,
and income maintenance services” for Americans in today’s
workforce. These grant initiatives are broken out by function and governed
by various Program Offices within ETA. Each Program Office thereby generates
various types of financial and tracking data in order to support their
individual program efforts.
MANILA has been charged with the collection, organization, and distribution
of the data generated by the Program Offices to establish an ETA wide
data warehouse and reporting system. To implement this task, MANILA currently
supports multiple intranet web-based applications. These applications
combine data from various sources and mold it into useful information
for on-line analytical processing by hundreds of ETA users nationwide.
ETA users may then manipulate, display and analyze this information to
support and improve their business processes and enhance the services
provided to their grant recipient customers.
Our web-based solution for ETA’s information needs comprise three
separate components: data warehousing, reporting, and Program Office
support. The data warehousing portion refers to the gathering and categorizing
of data from multiple Program Office sources. Reporting refers to the
web-based applications that allow ETA users to view information in graphical,
tabular, or reporting displays. In providing Program Office support,
MANILA works with ETA staff members to analyze existing business practices
in order to automate any manual procedures used to support their decision
support processes.
MANILA has also been tasked to establish and administer new internet
web applications that will allow the general public to access information
supplied by the ETA Program Offices.
