Workforce Region, Brighton Economic Development, Aims Community College, Front Range
Community College, as well as other partners to continue to implement strategies to assist in meeting
the identified employer's needs in the Sustainable Manufacturing sector for skilled workers. The
emphasis for this initiative will be to continue to utilize Upstate Northern Colorado to implement
strategies identified in the implementation grant. Efforts to close the gaps for training needed will be
made with the educational partners in this initiative.
2. H1B Technical Skills Training Grant$160,800.00 (Period of Performance 2/15/12 to 6/30/13)—
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) applied for a $5 Million

Colorado SECTORS Sustainable Manufacturing Implementation Grant Application—2010 Adams &
Weld Counties
The creation of manufactured products that use processes that minimize negative environmental impacts,
conserve energy and natural resources, are safe for employees, communities and consumers and are
economically sound.
II. Proposal Narrative
A. Problem Statement
Colorado enjoys several diverse economic sectors: agriculture, oil and gas, renewable energy, tourism,
healthcare, high tech and manufacturing. Each sector must be cultivated to grow and flourish, none more so
than manufacturing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ranks Colorado 46th in the nation in manufacturing
job growth, with an overall decline of.1% from January to June. As Colorado and the United States struggle
with lower-cost labor markets overseas and continued productivity enhancements throughout the
manufacturing sector, companies who survive and thrive are those whose processes optimize power,
materials,resources, and, most importantly,their workforce. Of the 50 employers surveyed in Adams and
Weld counties during the planning phase of this grant, consensus existed that the region has great potential for
manufacturing; but a skilled workforce is the most critical factor to competitiveness, growth and
sustainability. Sustainable manufacturing takes many forms and cuts across traditional sectors such as food
processing, distribution/logistics,building materials, water and clean energy. Business leaders recognize
saving time, resources and energy, reducing waste and creating a safe and efficient workplace -- in essence
sustainability-- improves their bottom line.
In today's economy obtaining capital to expand, retool or renovate through investments or loans presents a
serious hurdle to manufacturing efficiency and growth. A workforce skilled in TPM(Total Productive
Maintenance), Lean, Six Sigma and other sustainable manufacturing applications to ensure equipment
performance, inventory stream and process capability will buffer against production uncertainty and
downtime. Knowledgeable workers will protect and optimize employers' capital investments and inventory,
thereby increasing profitability. Employers realize that to be competitive in the global economy, pursuit of a
manufacturing workforce educated in production, maintenance, supply chain, process improvement, and
energy and resource efficiency is no longer an option or a desire—it is a requirement.
The Area Development 2009 Corporate Survey again illustrated the importance corporations place on labor when making
location decisions.Of the 26 factors measured by Area Development,labor costs were rated the single most important
consideration and skilled labor availability was ranked sixth in importance.
Recent Labor Market Information data show Adams and Weld counties growing in population by 27% and
50%respectively(http://Imigateway.coworkforce.com/Imigateway/default.aso). These data clearly illustrate
the increase in human capital in the area, and therefore the regional workforce(totaling 120,783 in the Weld
and 221,638 in Adams). To support workforce development there are further data(provided by both LMI
and JobsEQ) identifying that the educational makeup of Weld and Adams county residents is within national
averages. Breaking down these numbers we see that nationally 84% of the population has a high school
diploma or higher; in Weld County this number is 84.9% and in Adams County 80.2%. Furthermore the
national average for residents holding a bachelors degree or higher is 27% while these percentages are 21.6%
for Weld County and 19.2% for Adams County. The manufacturing sector, which comprises 14% of the
Weld County economy and 9% in Adams County, provides excellent employment opportunities to these
jobseekers who do not possess a college degree. Good pay($42,432 in Weld and $55,692 in Adams County;
CDLE Quarterly Census 2008), benefits and advancement potential are attractive incentives to employees, but
employers need a workforce trained in advanced manufacturing processes. The preparation of this growing
population for 21'century manufacturing jobs remains an issue key to ensuring the success of these firms as

well as additional local,national and international businesses that will relocate to or expand within Weld and
Adams counties.
To address the hiring needs of energy and manufacturing employers, the Sustainable Industrial Technology
and Energy(SITE)program was developed by Employment Services of Weld County in collaboration with
Aims Community College and is being offered through a cooperative effort with Adams, Boulder, and
Larimer Counties. The SITE Program is employer validated, flexible in its delivery, academic credit bearing,
PELL Grant eligible with short term elements that are open entry-open exit and not dependent upon future
external funding.
Participants in the SITE Program learn to communicate effectively, demonstrate technical competence, and
work on teams. The SITE Prep Academy assists individuals in improving their math, reading and English
skills and prepares them for either entry level jobs or to enter the certification programs. Examples of courses
for the SITE I and II certificate levels include:
• Technical Mathematics
• Introduction to PC Applications
• Business Ethics
• Technical and Report Writing
• Business Communications
• Blueprint Reading
• Process Technology
• Basics of Electricity
• Instrumentation
Front Range Community College offers a technical certificate and an Associate of Applied Science degree in
Clean Energy Technology. This program answers a strategic need of a skilled job-ready workforce. Courses
include:
• Fundamentals of DC/AC
• Digital Devices
• Safety for Manufacturing Environment
• Print Reading for Manufacturing
• Methods of SPC (Statistical Process Control)
• Engineering Materials
• Technical English and Math
• Conceptual Physics
• Computer Applications.
While these programs have been successful, our employer survey identified the need for more advanced and
specialized training specifically geared to sustainable manufacturing practices. Employers such as Golden
Aluminum specifically requested TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) instruction. Rocky Mountain
Prestress plans to implement LEAN techniques and train employees in LEED certification to meet green
building requirements. Training in proven production practices such as Six Sigma, ISO, and Kaizen were
also requested. This training creates a more skilled workforce to support the sustainable manufacturing sector
and will underpin the competitiveness of Weld and Adams counties for years to come.

B. Industry and Region of Focus
1. Manufacturing Industry
While Colorado has seen a decline in manufacturing jobs in the first six months of 2010, in Weld County
manufacturing is the fastest growing sector, increasing 1 5% between 2007 and 2008 with a sub-industry
wholesale trade increase of roughly 70% between 2007 and 2008. Jobs EQ projections indicate this increase
in the need for skilled manufacturing labor will continue through the next ten years:

There have been several international companies that have selected Weld County for new site locations,
specifically Vestas Blades (world leader in wind energy choosing Weld County as its new North American
headquarters),JBS Swift(world's largest beef processor), Bach Composites(Danish supplier to Vestas), as
well as"home-grown" industries borne of research and development such as UQM (manufacturer of electric
motors) and Abound Solar. The addition of these industries to our existing manufacturing base of Brewer
Steel, Norfolk Iron&Steel, Big R Manufacturing, Kuhn North American, Harsh International, High Country
Millwork, O-1, and Hexcel Inc. represents the creation of just under 4000 new jobs. However,the loss of
jobs at Kodak, Artemis Rubber, Afco Steel, Universal Forest Products, and Delphi Medical illustrates the
ongoing efforts necessary to promote sustainable manufacturing processes to improve our region's
competitive advantage.
In Adams County, there are a number of emerging industries that indicate an increasingly dynamic economy
such as food manufacturing, freight transportation, construction and the utilities industries, all of which have
average wages of$50K and above. Each of the 463 incumbent manufacturers(JobsEQ data) and emerging
industries/companies contribute to the projected increase in manufacturing jobs for the county(see JobsEQ
chart below). Developing a skilled workforce to fill these positions would be served by the SECTORS
initiative and its goal to establish training and education focused on sustainable manufacturing practices and
an alliance to promote sustainability and manufacturing excellence.

2. Super Region:
Weld and Adams counties share a 40-mile border, similar demographics and an attractive location for
manufacturers because of their proximity to Denver International Airport and the Denver area's highly-
educated workforce, substantial land available for industrial development and access to critical shipping and
distribution resources. Most importantly, they share an appreciation of the importance of retaining
manufacturing jobs and supplying workers skilled in sustainable manufacturing practices.
Weld and Adams counties workforce regions have had extensive and successful experience in implementing
sector strategies as recipients of grants responding to energy employer needs under the WIRED Initiative.
Adams County Economic Development, Brighton Economic Development Corporation and Upstate Colorado
Economic Development are partner organizations in the Metro Denver Economic Development Corporation
to promote regional cooperation.

These manufacturers employ highly skilled manufacturing technicians trained in robotics, electo-
mechanical systems, instrumentation, and process and energy technologies, in addition to assembly
line workers. Competitiveness demands that each worker be trained to function as efficiently as
possible and that manufacturing processes are evaluated to optimize production. Adams and Weld
counties share the goal of educating workers to fulfill the responsibilities of their positions and assist
in improving workplace efficiency and implementing sustainable manufacturing practices. This
requires the training the SECTORS grant will fund.
3. SECTORS Grant Proposal Focus:
The employer surveys conducted during the planning phase of the SECTORS grant revealed that
many employers are implementing aspects of sustainable manufacturing, but most do not pursue
sustainability according to rigorous standards or categories of work. Indeed, many manufacturers
are struggling to develop specific training and development plans to support incorporating
sustainability into their operations. The planning process identified many avenues through which
investment in skills development, educational programs and industry-driven organizations can
advance sustainability:
Page 14 of 27
•
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region:Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
Investment in the Workforce: The establishment of curricula supporting sustainability then
subsidizing intermediate and high-level technical and professional skill development for
incumbent employees is the primary component. The manufacturers participating in this
grant reviewed the SITE program offered at Aims Community College, the Clean Tech
program from Front Range Community College as well as the training resources of CAMT
(Colorado Association for Manufacturing and Technology). Each was confident selecting
existing courses from those offered to structure an industry-specific program would
enhance their employees' productivity. These manufacturers are optimistic that they will
hire new employees, and the grant will allow them to provide training for these jobseekers
to open up career paths and reduce barriers to employment. This alignment of economic
growth with the manufacturing sector by improving the skill level of the labor pool
enhances the attractiveness of Weld and Adams counties to prospective manufacturers
considering relocating to the region.
Education/Outreach: A Weld County counterpart to ACMA (Adams County Manufacturers
Association) will be established with a mission to promote the retention and expansion of
the manufacturing industry and its supporting sectors, and provide value added services to
help the industry thrive and grow. The formation of a regional alliance of these two
industry groups to form WASMA (Weld Adams Sustainable Manufacturers Alliance) will
create a multi-service organization to serve the needs of manufacturers and ultimately lead
to systemic improvements that promote innovation and excellence and achieve lasting
benefits for communities, employees and industry.
Collaboration: Network; share research, best practices and technology transfer; explore
project/partnership opportunities; develop entrepreneurial potential; and provide peer-to-
peer support to manufacturers. Under the auspices of WASMA, industry leaders, economic
development agencies, financial institutions, education, workforce centers and allied
professional organizations such as CAMT and the Manufacturing Center of Excellence
proposed for Pueblo will produce and sponsor seminars, webinars and other instruction.
Co-Conveners Raymond Gonzales, President & CEO, Brighton Economic Development Corporation
and Larry Burkhardt, President &CEO, Upstate Colorado Economic Development partnered on the
Sustainable Manufacturing Sector Plan in the Weld/Adams region. BEDC and Upstate are
determined to facilitate the development and activities that will serve the manufacturers of Weld and
Adams counties:
• The Brighton Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) is a public-private partnership
comprised of more than forty companies supporting proactive recruitment of quality
companies to Brighton; building local businesses; marketing the community to targeted
business industries; and working with elected officials, community partners, workforce, and
education and training partners to ensure a positive business environment.
• Upstate Colorado Economic Development(Upstate) is a public/private economic
development corporation that provides similar services to all of Weld County supporting the
regional economy, existing and expanding primary employers, and companies considering a
Weld County location. Upstate services include business planning, labor training,
Page 15 of 27
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region:Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
identification of financial resources, and local and regional demographic information also
working with elected officials, community partners, workforce, and education and training
partners to ensure a positive business environment.
Both organizations have experience convening a wide range of partners around sector initiatives and
other common goals including their respective strategic plans for regional economic development.
Most recently, they participated in the state economic development effort to locate and expand
Vestas, a renewable wind energy equipment manufacturer now expanding in Windsor, Brighton, and
Pueblo, Colorado (2500 jobs). The series of initiatives involving these public-private sector
economic development organizations required collaboration with the educational and training
organizations and regional and statewide economic development and business associations in the
region, and the workforce regions in Weld and Adams counties. Brighton Economic Development
Corporation and Upstate Colorado Economic Development have the experience and track record to
guide and manage this SECTOR initiative successfully.
The education, training and workforce regions are involved on an ongoing basis in collaborative
activities with BEDC and Upstate. This experience will be applied to this SECTOR initiative by
creating an integrated core Leadership Team comprised of the Weld County Workforce Director,
Linda Perez; the Adams County Workforce Director, Chris Klein; CAMT Director for Adams
County, Aleta Sherman; CAMT Director for Weld County, Cynthia Christie; Brighton Economic
Development Corporation; Upstate Colorado Economic Development; Aims Community College;
Front Range Community College and representatives of the Workforce Boards from each Region.
Upstate will act as "intermediary"to convene public and private stakeholders to address the needs of
industry partners and establish WASMA by:
• coordinating participation of stakeholders
• providing leadership to ensure that it is industry driven
• identifying workforce issues and educational solutions
• articulating skill training that will promote sustainability
• providing financial and/or in-kind contributions to the partnership
• advocating involvement in WASMA to businesses within the region.
This grant will fund a part-time position at Upstate Colorado to fulfill these tasks.
C. Measurements and Outcomes
Tracking industry progress requires certain strategically developed benchmarks to address
effectiveness of processes in place. In the pilot phase, the WASMA team will work with the
participating employers to define how success will be measured. The four key metrics are detailed
in the Evaluation Framework:

Ill. Strategic Work Plan
Employment Services of Weld County, Upstate Colorado Economic Development, Brighton
Economic Development, Adams County Workforce, Aims Community College, Front Range
Community College and CAMT will work to produce a concerted regional effort to:
• retain and attract businesses
• create jobs in sustainable manufacturing
• achieve incumbent employee retention and promotion
• hire displaced workers
• form an alliance (WASMA) to address employer needs in sustainable manufacturing
• conserve energy through education and training.
Achieving this goal entails promoting the multi-industry skills and technical qualifications of the
participating industries; tailoring education and training; aligning resources and creating new
programs, resources and organizations to facilitate growth; and applying the lessons learned from
this initiative to disseminate to other industry sectors.
The WASMA Leadership Team will be structured to serve in various capacities and will develop
specific commitments, roles and responsibilities among the partners, stakeholders and industry
participants, to include:
Employers: Executive-level representatives to be recruited from private industry will provide
guidance to the partners, serve as spokespeople to the media and the general public, provide input in
order to prioritize key sustainability roles and sustainability skill-sets, serve as pilot sites for training
and learning activities, and measure progress. These employers will contribute to the creation of
Page 18 of 27
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region:Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
WASMA and guide its strategic and practical development. Key employers who are committed to
sustainability will serve as advisory board members, and following the formal creation of WASMA
will be asked to serve as steering committee members and spokespeople, recruit new members, and
continue to provide input into development of new learning opportunities. As appropriate, employer
partners may serve as adjunct instructors for education and training programs delivered at the
colleges, via seminar and webinar.
Industry Partners:

Abound Solar is a manufacturer of low-cost, thin-film photovoltaic solar modules. In July, Abound
Solar received a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) $400 million, seven-year loan guarantee. They
will use this funding to expand its manufacturing capabilities at an existing plant and to establish a
second manufacturing plant that will create more than 1,200 high-tech jobs in Colorado and Indiana,
while driving down the cost of solar power for its United States and international customers.
Abound Solar's products and processes embody sustainability, and they intend to continue to expand
their training under the auspices of this SECTORS grant.
Golden Aluminum produces rolled aluminum around the clock, 24/7, delivering to locations
throughout the world. Using recycled aluminum,their products include:
• Tab stock, bare and coated, beverage and food
• FDA coated aluminum supplier for food and other provisional containers
• E-clean'" process aluminum: Proprietary ultra-clean aluminum for high tech applications
• Architectural, building and construction products
Golden Aluminum is evaluating the application of a TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) program
which is a critical adjunct to lean manufacturing; therefore, implementing TPM will result in
incumbent employee advancement and increased sustainability. Employers like Golden Aluminum
are projected to experience a substantial increase in the need for metal workers in the Greeley MSA
over the next decade, well above the national average. The SECTORS grant will fund training to
meet this demand for these skilled workers.

Rocky Mountain Prestress has been a leading innovator in prestressed and precast building for
more than 50 years. With projects such as DIA, Colorado Convention Center, Aurora Justice
Center, Coors Field and the Pepsi Center, RMP has established themselves as a premier
manufacturer. They utilize the most advanced computer technology to help develop 3-D real time
dynamic modeling programs to produce drawings and plans. They pursue excellence by researching
production processes and mixtures to make prestress more versatile. Quality is of utmost concern
for RMP, so training their workforce to use systems like LEAN that promote better control is
critical. The building industry is pursuing sustainability through LEED certification and RMP
recognizes the need to reduce both material and labor waste.
Educational Institutions:
To address the employer needs for sustainable manufacturing educational offerings in the region,
representatives, Aims and Front Range Community Colleges and the two workforce boards will
serve on the Leadership Team. The SITE (Sustainable Industrial Technology and Energy) program
was developed by this team and will serve as a template for industry-specific training for participants
in this SECTORS grant. CAMT will also have two members on the team, one serving Weld County
and the other Adams County. These leaders will leverage resources from their respective
Page 20 of 27
Exhibit C

organizations to contribute to the creation and modification of educational offerings and populate the
content areas of WASMA. Grant funds will subsidize training for prospective and incumbent
employees for the participating industry partners and outreach for displaced, low-income and non-
traditional labor pools.
Professional/Industry Organizations: A large part of the marketing aspect will be a significant
and strong partnership with the local/regional economic development organizations. Ensuring that
the pertinent information is available to incumbent businesses and new business development
coming to the area is critical in the overall goal of establishing the super-region as a sustainable
manufacturing industry leader. CAMT will also serve in a leadership capacity, working to engage
firms in the region to develop and participate in pilot training initiatives as well as provide
information and consulting resources. This collaborative effort will promote systemic change that
cultivates sustainability and restructuring of practices to achieve changes beneficial to employers,
workers and job-seekers, and the environment.
Additional employers will be recruited and training will be developed to meet their identified needs.
Fulfilling its promise as a center for sustainable manufacturing requires implementation of a number
of innovative objectives:
GOAL #1: Help employers specify, prioritize and measure skill development needs in
workforce (prospective and incumbent)

VI. Detailed Budget, Budget Narrative and Quarterly Projected Expenditures
Employer surveys, research, data analysis, and workforce information demonstrate that the
SECTORS Initiative funding for this project is essential to support the current and projected needs,
desired outcomes and systemic changes as illustrated above. Our industry partners are committed to
assisting in the cultivation of these resources for workforce development and the broader array of
capabilities and services that will ultimately come to fruition through WASMA.
The Budget Worksheet, Attachment E, for the SECTORS grant shows a total budget of$225,000 for
the period of the grant. Of that, $22,500 provides for grant administration by the Weld County
Workforce Center. Travel funds account for $3,000. The balance of the funds will be administered
under a contract with Upstate Colorado Economic Development who will:
• reimburse education service providers such as Aims and Front Range Community
Colleges and CAMT for tuition expenses for prospective and incumbent employees
• establish WASMA and support its mission through web portal creation, resource
development and recruitment
• conduct leadership team meetings
• produce progress reports
Page 26 of 27
.f
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region:Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
• create and offer webinars, seminars and other symposia in conjunction with partners to
disseminate information and lessons learned from implementation to ensure the
continuation of the initiative and alliance beyond the grant period
• coordinate curricula development with partnering educational and professional
organizations and industry partners
• implement training programs and best practices with industry partners
• produce CDLE mandated quarterly reports based on grant benchmarks
• perform accounting and other duties as required.
Tuition reimbursements will account for the bulk of grant funds subcontracted to Upstate Colorado.
Forty-four students from Weld and Adams counties are projected to receive tuition assistance. The
U.S. Department of Labor Employment Training Administration national average is $3,700 per
student. Our projection of$3,000 is slightly less as the curriculum will be industry-specific and
condensed. Forty-four students at $3,000 per student totals $132,000. The balance of the funds will

III. STATEMENT OF WORK:
A. 0 The Statement of Work for this EA is as follows:
I. Describe the services, program activities, and/or training that will be provided using
these funds.
The primary focus for these funds will be for participant services, including
education/training and supportive services that increase/provide the higher level skills of both
incumbent workers and long term unemployed individuals needed in the Advanced
Manufacturing and Information Technology sectors. Employment Services will provide the
Page 2 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS/1: 12069
following services for incumbent workers and long termed unemployed individuals as
described below:
Incumbent Workers
a.Participants and Employer Groups
• Targeted populations to be served—
Employment Services and its partners will primarily focus efforts and
services for the HI B funds to advanced/sustainable manufacturing
companies as this has been our target under the Weld Adams Sector
Initiative. HIB funds will be targeted towards the higher level skills needs of
the employers, and as has been the case with the Sector initiative, employers
will be worked with on an individual basis to enable them to identify their
company's specific needs.
Incumbent workers served will be those individuals identified by the
employer as in need of acquiring additional higher level skills to assist the
company in maintaining their competitive edge, be less reliant on H 1 B visas,
and/or assist the worker in moving up in position to allow additional backfill
hires.
• Targeted industries and occupations—
As has been the case in the Weld Adams Sector initiative, identification of
the current and projected needs for training within the Sustainable and
Advanced manufacturing industries will be made by each specific employer
based on their own identified needs. This initiative has not predetermined
what the specific employer training needs may be as we feel this is a decision
best made by the employer.
b. Services and program activities:
• Recruitment strategies for participants—
Employment Services recruitment strategies for incumbent workers will
primarily consist of working with the employers who have already been part
of the Weld Sector initiative. Since a relationship has been established with
those employers, and discussions regarding their training needs have already
taken place, it is logical that this initiative build upon those efforts.
• Recruitment strategies for employers and methods to maintain employer
relationships.
Recruitment strategies for employers will be similar to those previously
stated for participants. Employment Services will target the employers who
have already been part of the Weld Sector initiative as a relationship has been
established with those employers, and discussions regarding their training
needs have already taken place.
• Assessment process and tools to be used to identify skills and training
gaps of participants—
Assessment process to be used will be discussions with employers. As
identified previously, it is Employment Services intent to have the employers
Page 3 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
identify the specific training needed based upon their own specific needs. It
is our belief that the employer best knows the need and the gaps of their
employees and therefore additional assessments are not predetermined.
c.Identified skills gaps
• As identified previously, it is Employment Services intent to have the
employers identify the specific training needed based upon their own specific
needs. It is our belief that the employer best knows the need and the gaps of
their employees and therefore additional assessments are not predetermined.
• Training gaps will be identified by the incumbent worker's employer as will
the degrees/credentials necessary for the employee's retention and
advancement.
d. Training strategy
Provide a complete and clear description of the training strategy,including:
• How this strategy will meet the needs of the targeted business(es).
Services are targeted towards the higher level skills needs of the employers,
and similar to the Weld County Sector initiative, employers will identify
their company's specific needs.
Incumbent workers served will be those individuals identified by the
employer as in need of acquiring additional higher level skills and training
will be structured to specifically meet the needs identified by the employer.
The partnerships developed under our Sector Initiative with our education
and training partners(Aims Community College, Front Range Community
College, Colorado Association for Manufacturing and Technology(CAMT))
will continue to be used and are designed to tailor or develop training
specific to the employer's stated need. Developing training specific to the
company's needs ensures training meets those needs.
• Identify the specific activities to be used.
Employment Services will utilize the same process for meeting with employers as
was developed under our Sector Initiative. This process includes arranging
appointments with the appropriate company representative(s)who are able to identify
skills gaps in the current workforce as well as identify the needed training to close
those gaps.
Our intent is to have representatives from our partnership (Community Colleges,
CAMT, Economic Development, and workforce center staff)meet with the employer
to clearly identify needs, and discuss options and propose ways to meet those needs.
Once the employer specifies the type of training needed, arrangements will be made
to deliver the training in a manner best suited to the employer(e.g. location, method,
time that best meets their demands, etc.) In those cases where no existing training is
available,the education partners will identify whether suitable training can be
developed.
Page 4 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
• Identify how the WFC and its partners will develop and implement the career
training programs.
As stated above, representatives from the partnership will meet with the employers to
clearly identify needs, and discuss training/certificate options to meet those needs.
Once training needs are clearly identified, arrangements will be made to deliver the
training in a manner best suited to the employer. In those cases where no existing
training is available,the education partners will identify whether suitable training can
be developed.
• Identify the degrees and industry-recognized credentials that will result from
the training programs.
As indicated previously, training needs will be identified by the employer
based on the individual gaps in their workforce and therefore not set
credentials or degrees have been predetermined. We will work with our
education partners to ensure training developed and delivered will provide
appropriate credentials that are recognized by the industry and are
transportable.
• Clearly explain how the proposed project will address the skills and training
gaps identified earlier,allowing participants to advance along a targeted career
pathway.
Training gaps will be identified by the incumbent worker's employer as will the
degrees/credentials necessary for the employee's retention and advancement.
e.Project management
• Provide a clear description of the commitment from employers to retain
workers who successfully complete the program and the anticipated wages that
the participants expect to earn.
No specific employers have been identified at this point therefore no specific details
regarding wages are available. It is our assumption employers that identify the need
for training and allow their employee to participate in services would inherently have
the commitment to retain the worker since it would benefit their company.
• For each activity,include the name of the partner that will be responsible for
implementing the activity and the specific roles and responsibilities of the
partner.
Training activities will be delivered by the training partners that can best meet the
identified needs of the employers. Employment Services will arrange to cover the
costs of the training as well as any supportive service needs of the participant.
• Identify the specific activities that will be funded by the grant,including
anticipated start and end dates of each activity and estimated costs associated
with each activity.
Activities funded by the grant will include training, support services, and the
associated staff and overhead costs of workforce center staff. Activity costs such as
training will vary depending on the training identified as will the start and end dates.
Page 5 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
Support services provided to participants will be based upon individual need and
therefore we are unable to identify the anticipated costs and/or duration of those
services.
• Describe how the cost per participant proposed through this program aligns
with similar training programs that you or a partner has conducted.
The proposed budget developed and the per-participant costs were based upon the
existing average costs in the WIA programs.
• Describe how internal monitoring and oversight of this project will be conducted
to ensure successful progress and completion of the project.
Employment Services will utilize its existing WIA monitoring policy and processes
to ensure successful progress and completion. As appropriate, on site monitoring
will be completed and follow-up services will be provided to incumbent workers to
track training and employment retention.
• Describe how the region will collect data on employment outcomes of
participants.
Employment Services will enroll participants in e-stop/Connecting Colorado to track
activities and services and as a result will utilize the existing Common Measures
report to track employment outcomes.
Lona-term unemployed
a.Participants and Employer Groups
• Targeted populations to be served
Employment Services will target those individuals who have been selected
for the Emergency Unemployment Compensation(EUC)program.
Individuals identified as interested in the HIB sectors or with a previous
work history in those sectors and who need additional higher level skills
training will be primary targets for services under the HIB program.
• Targeted industries and occupations—
As is the case for the incumbent worker under this program, Employment
Services will target training within the Sustainable and Advanced
manufacturing industries. Those occupations identified by employers as
having gaps in the higher level skills of their existing workforce will be
targeted. This initiative has not predetermined what the specific employer
training needs may be as we feel this is a decision best made by the
employer.
b. Services and program activities:
• Recruitment strategies for participants—
As previously indicated, Employment Services will target those individuals
who have been selected for the Emergency Unemployment Compensation
(EUC)program. The EUC Program structure in Weld County provides a
presentation to individuals and during this presentation information regarding
additional services is reviewed. Individuals identified as either interested in
the Manufacturing sector, or those with a previous work history in those
Page 6 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
sectors and who need additional skills to re-enter the sector, will be provided
information specific to the HI B program.
• Identify supportive services to be offered to participants
Supportive Service needs are made on an individual basis, and depending on
the specific need of the participant may include assistance similar to those
offered under the WIA programs. This includes assistance with books,
school supplies,transportation assistance(gas or bus vouchers),tools, etc.
Employment Services will utilize its existing Supportive Services policy
regarding services available and the limits attributed to each.
• Assessment process and tools to be used to identify skills and training
gaps of participants
Participants will initially be assessed utilizing the existing Initial and Comprehensive
assessment tools used in the Weld County WIA program. After determining the
individual is an appropriate candidate for the HIB program, additional assessments
such as TABE, WorkKeys, and/or ProveIt! may be utilized to assess and document
participant skills levels.
c. Identified skills gaps
• As identified previously, it is Employment Services intent to have employers
identify the specific training needed based upon their own identified needs.
It is our belief that the employer best knows the needs of the higher skills
positions and the gaps (educational or skills) seen in individuals applying for
those positions. Education levels have not been established as each employer
and position may have a different requirement. A minimum level would be
that required by the employer.
• Skill training gaps will be identified by comparing what the employer
identifies as the required skills to those skills possessed by the participant.
The degrees/credentials necessary for the entry into the industry will be those
identified by employers as needed for hire,retention and advancement.
d. Training strategy
Provide a complete and clear description of the training strategy,including:
• Identify the specific activities to be used.
Services will be targeted towards the higher level skills needs of
manufacturing employers(some IT jobs will also be targeted), and similar to
the process used in Weld County's Sector Initiative, employers will be asked
to identify their company's specific needs. Employment Services will utilize
the same process for meeting with employers as was developed under our
Sector Initiative and this includes arranging appointments with the
appropriate company representative(s)who is able to identify skills gaps for
higher level positions in the current workforce as well as identify the needed
training to close those gaps.
Our intent is to have representatives from our partnership(Community Colleges,
CAMT, Economic Development, and workforce center staff) meet with the employer
to clearly identify needs, and discuss options and propose ways to meet those needs.
Once the employer specifies the type of training needed, arrangements will be made
Page 7 of 23
Exhibit C
Local Workforce Region: Employment Services of Weld County
CMS#: 12069
to deliver the training in a manner best suited to the employer(e.g. location, method,
time that best meets their demands, etc.) In those cases where no existing training is
available,the education partners will identify whether suitable training can be
developed.
• Identify how the WFC and its partners will develop and implement the career
training programs.
As stated above, representatives from the partnership will meet with the employers to
clearly identify needs, and discuss training/certificate options to meet those needs.
Once training needs are clearly identified, arrangements will be made to identify
training best suited to the employer. In those cases where no existing training is
available,the education partners will identify whether suitable training can be
developed.
• Identify the degrees and industry-recognized credentials that will result from
the training programs.
As indicated previously, training needs will be identified by the employer
based on the individual gaps seen in their workforce and therefore no set
credentials or degrees have been predetermined. If there is no pre-existing
training already available, we will work with our education partners to ensure
training is developed and delivered and that appropriate credentials are made
available that are recognized by the industry and are transportable.
• Clearly explain how the proposed project will address the skills and training
gaps identified earlier, allowing participants to advance along a targeted career
pathway.
Training gaps will be identified by employer as will the degrees/credentials necessary
for hire. Since training is identified by employers it is assumed that the new hire will
possess the skills needed to retention and advancement.
e.Project management
• Identify the specific activities that will be funded by the grant,including
anticipated start and end dates of each activity and estimated costs associated
with each activity.
Activities funded by the grant will include training, support services, and the
associated staff and overhead costs of workforce center staff. Activity costs such as
training will vary depending on the training identified as will the start and end dates.
Support services provided to participants will be based upon individual need and
therefore we are unable to identify the anticipated costs and/or duration of those
services.
• Describe how the cost per participant proposed through this program aligns
with similar training programs that you or a partner has conducted.
The proposed budget developed and the per-participant costs were based upon the
existing average costs in the WIA programs.
• Describe how internal monitoring and oversight of this project will be conducted
to ensure successful progress and completion of the project.
Page 8 of 23
Exhibit C

CMS#: 12069
Employment Services will utilize its existing WIA monitoring policy and processes
to ensure successful progress and completion. As appropriate, on site monitoring
will be completed and follow-up services will be provided totrack training and
employment retention.
• Describe how the region will collect data on employment outcomes of
participants.
Employment Services will enroll participants in e-stop/Connecting Colorado to track
activities and services and as a result will utilize the existing Common Measures
report to track employment outcomes.
2. Describe how this discretionary grant is leveraged with other workforce development
and/or other partner programs. Specifically,address the following:
a. Describe how services,program activities and training that you provide with these
funds shall be leveraged and aligned with SECTORS and other relevant special
initiatives.
As indicated previously, Weld' County's plan for the HI B funds is to utilize the
existing structure, processes and lessons learned from our Manufacturing Sector
Initiative to drive most of this grants efforts. We believe the projects complement
each other very well and that their alignment makes sense.
b. What is the value added as a result of this leveraging and integration. For example,
employer engagement,targeting employers currently using H-1B visas,the match
requirement,etc.
The value added from leveraging and aligning the HIB and the Manufacturing Sector
Initiative is we are able to offer and provide for the employers full range of needs and as a
result,we anticipate additional jobs will be created.

i. ACORN Prohibition. Section 511 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117,
Division E)("CAA"), requires that no direct or indirect funding from the Consolidated Appropriations
Act may be provided to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now("ACORN")
or any of its subsidiaries through Federal grant recipients, contractors, or
subrecipients/subcontractors. USDOL is required to take steps so that no Federal Funds from the
Consolidated Appropriations Act,2010, are awarded or obligated by USDOL grant recipients,
contractors, or subrecipients/subcontractors to ACORN or its subsidiaries as subgrantees,
subcontractors, or other subrecipients. This prohibition applies not only to a direct recipient of
Federal funds, but also to a subrecipient(e.g. a subcontractor, subgrantee, or contractor of a Local
Workforce Region).
