PROGRAM/PROJECT INFORMATION Reference Code :
Name: Triage Targeted Population Program VAX#:
Funding Source, Year, and Amount of funds: PY 02 Wagner Pevser 10%Special Needs Groups$40,000.00
Period of Performance: From: September 1,2002 To: June 30,2003
I. SCOPE OF WORK:
A. Purpose and Goal
The purpose of the Triage Targeted Populations (TTP) Program is to provide enhanced and focused
basic labor exchange and intensive services to individuals with disabilities, offenders and non-English
speaking clients seeking assistance through Employment Services of Weld County's Workforce
Center. The system, while providing services to the universal population, does not allow more one-on-
one intensive staff assistance to individuals with special needs. The Program will allow a staff person
to take the time necessary to assist these special populations fully understand and utilize the core and
intensive services offered under the Wagner-Peyser basic labor exchange, as well as access partner
programs as appropriate.
Recruitment will be conducted using the triage approach and other alternative methods.
A bi-lingual specialist will provide in-depth services to the identified targeted populations.
Individuals will be provided one-on-one services more intensive than those provided through the
Wagner-Peyser basic labor exchange.
Individuals who are not job ready and require more in-depth assistance in accessing services will be
the highest level of priority for the Program. Individuals at this level will be provided one-on-one
assistance in accessing the services provided in the resource room and using the available technology.
They will be provided intensive services which may include assistance with resume preparation,
preparatory ESL, if not available from other resources, individual counseling and job development
based upon the individual's capabilities and limitations, intensive follow-up services which will assist the
individual in obtaining and retaining employment and in-depth coordination with other community
agencies to assist them in accessing needed services.
Individuals who require additional assistance after receiving intensive services through the Program will
be referred to partner agency programs including the Workforce Investment Act(WIA) or other
programs operated by partner agencies. This assistance will include scheduling appointments and
acquiring necessary documentation required by training programs or outside agencies.
B. Services to be Provided
Recruitment will continue to be conducted through the established triage approach. The reception
desk will also conduct screening for the Triage Targeted Populations Program to ensure all potential
eligible individuals are informed of these services. By incorporating reception staff in the screening
process, we increase the number of individuals referred to the TTP program, particularly the disabled
population.
Efforts will focus on reaching more disabled individuals in need of more intensive services. Staff will
emphasis efforts to identify and utilize new resources in the community i.e., Colorado Navigator, other
support service agencies, to enhance services to the disabled. The marketing of the program will
include flyers, brochures and phone calling scripts. Staff will also strive to increase the number of ex-
offenders to be served. Because of their limited employment experience, programs like WIA will be
targeted for training services.
There is a need to continue support for intensive and structured services for resume development,
ESL support courses, or more intensive assessments. With the addition of these intensive
services we hope to continue making a major impact in the 'entered employment' rate.
Individuals who are new to the labor force or have been out of the labor market for a significant length
of time will benefit from occupational interest inventories which explore interest and abilities for a
number of occupations. TTP participants will benefit from this service by expanding their job
possibilities.
C. Projected Number of Participants to be Served
The following table outlines the number of individuals in the targeted populations. It is anticipated that
between 40 to 50% of Wagner Peyser's disabled, offenders and monolingual-Spanish population would
benefit from services provided by the Triage Targeted Population Program.
Special Target Groups Customers Served by Projected TTP
TTP for PY 2001 Customers for PY 2002
Offenders 238 250
Individuals with a Disability 217 300
Monolingual Individuals 648 550

Individuals with a Disability- Jols 10--01-01 to 8-09-02
Monolingual Individuals- AW Search Mono*&Characteristic Report 10-01-01 to 8-09-02
D. Expected Outcomes
1. It is anticipated that the Triage Targeted Populations Program will assist identified
individuals in obtaining employment earlier and/or access partner programs more rapidly.
Staff will strive to achieve an Entered Employment goal of 26%
2. It is anticipated that 20 individuals will be enrolled in a structured resume writing course
which will impact the program Entered Employment goals
3. Preparatory ESL courses through the Educational Lab for 40 individuals
4. TABE Assessment through the Educational Lab for 20 individuals
5. Occupational inventories for 20 individuals
6. An on site partner agency, Community Service Block Grant has agreed to provide
supportive service assistance in the form of gas vouchers, bus passes and other
employment support services.
E. Coordination with other One-Stop Partners
The Memorandums of Understanding with the required One-Stop Partners address the services to be
provided by the One-Stop partners and how these services will be coordinated and made available
through the One-Stop system. In general, the partners have agreed to provide brochures on their
services which will be made available at each access point, cross train staff to help customers access
appropriate services, and coordinate employer relations efforts as appropriate. Partner organizations
have agreed to have staff on site at the One-Stop for a period of time each week. Customers will be
able to obtain information and access partner programs during these times.
The contract with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment addresses the implementation of
the programs authorized under the Wagner-Peyser Act. This addresses the coordination between the
Trade Adjustment Assistance Act and the National transitional adjustment assistance activities. Also
addressed in the contract is coordination with activities authorized under Chapter 41 of Title 38 U.S.C.
and the programs authorized under the State Unemployment Insurance programs.
F. Other Financial Resources to Support Program
The following programs and funding streams will help support the delivery of services through the Weld
County One-Stop system:
A Community Service Block grant will provide for books/calculators, GED test fees, bus passes, gas
vouchers, uniforms, drivers licenses or state identification cards and other employment related
expenses.
