State Performance 

Each state is required to negotiate annual performance levels with the Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE).  New Mexico's negotiated targets for core performance indicators are listed below.  If the state does not meet these targets, federal funding may be reduced.

New Mexico's Adult Education also sets annual state goals for relevant outcomes to drive continuous program improvement. These goals are informed by the previous year's performance, state-negotiated targets, and data projections, ensuring alignment with both federal and local expectations. By analyzing historical data and trends, the state establishes benchmarks for key  indicators such as measurable skills gain, employment outcomes, retention rate and co-enrollment with WIOA partners. This data-driven approach fosters accountability and supports programs in achieving meaningful outcomes for adult learners, promoting success in education, employment, and life skills. 

If you have any questions regarding the state-negotiated targets or annual state goals, please contact Katya Backhaus at katya.backhaus@hed.nm.gov or 505-660-8824.
