Common use of DATA SHARING Shared Technology and System Security Clause in Contracts

DATA SHARING Shared Technology and System Security. Whenever possible the Jefferson/Franklin Region appreciates state support for tech sharing. While Missouri has made progress in the sharing of data, true data integration is still a challenge. Each partner operates independent systems that do not have the capability to communicate with each other. Governor ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has encouraged all departments to explore options to share and integrate data through his workforce development initiatives. This has helped spur more discussion and pilot projects around these issues. Through initiatives such as the Workforce Data Quality Initiative Grant (WDQI) and strong support from the governor's office, there is movement forward in this area. Core partners have completed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that now allows data sharing of employer information. Work continues on a data warehouse that will allow opportunities to safely share jobseeker information as well. At the State level core program partners have completed a MOU and will work toward sharing data and information. They continue to collaborate to further the goal of achieving all common primary indicators of performance. Policies exist to provide assurance that participants' Personally Identifiable Information (PII) will be kept confidential. Specific examples include separate confidential files.
