SCOPE OF WORK: a. Purpose and Goal The purpose of the Return Unemployment Insurance to Work (RUITE) Program is to provide focused labor exchange and intensive marketing skills' services to Unemployment Insurance claimants. UI participants seeking assistance through Weld County's Workforce Center (Employment Services of Weld County) will be provided job readiness services to that will accelerate their rapid return to the labor force. The program will focus on Unemployment Insurance claimants who are not enrolled in WIA or other subsidized programs. Staff will be provided the additional time and resources necessary to assist this population in receiving core and intensive services offered through typical subsidized programs. b. Services to be Provided Recruitment will be conducted through various approaches. A triage approach will be utilized at the time of the initial Wagner Peyser interview. Staff will provide basic program information to potential RUITE participants at both individual and group registrations sessions. In addition, individuals registered 4-8 weeks after initial registration. The recruitment process will also incorporate the flexibility of developing alternate recruitment approaches as needed. The reception desk and line staff will conduct screening to ensure all potential participants are informed of these services. By incorporating RUITE information as part of the screening process, we increase the number of individuals referred to the program. Various marketing strategies, i.e., pamphlets, brochures and computer technology will be used to market the program to Unemployment Insurance claimants. Staff will develop a short-term employment plan for each claimant which identifies employment goals and direction for re-entry into the labor market. Identification of supportive service needs will be included in the employment plan. Workforce specialists will provide in-depth services to the identified targeted population. Participants will be provided one-on-one services more intensive than those provided through the Wagner-Peyser basic labor exchange. Job readiness needs assessments will provide in-depth assistance in identifying the services through WFC and within the community. Job readiness services will consist of a combination of one-on-one assistance and group sessions to access services provided in the resource room by using the available technology. Intensive services provided will include assistance with marketing skills courses, resume preparation, skills testing, individual counseling and job development and ongoing file search sessions, job referrals based upon each participant's work skills and abilities, and utilizing labor market information to determine transferable skills' assessment. The utilization of the Resource Room and Educational Lab environment will allow individuals to receive instruction on use of the Internet and other computer technology that will enhance their job searching skills. Intensive 3 follow-up services, which include continued promotion of WFC services, will assist the participants in obtaining and retaining employment. Staff will focus on developing in-depth coordination with other community agencies to assist individuals in accessing needed services. c.
