PY 2002 Workforce Investment Act and Wagner Peyser
Local Planning Guidelines - Program Narrative
Five Year Plan Modification
I. Local Planning and Labor Market
a. During PY 01, many Workforce Regions experienced changes to their economic sector and
labor force. Describe the sectors experiencing growth and decline and discuss some of the
factors contributing to this.
The Weld County Workforce region has experienced changes to the local economic sector and labor
force during the past year. Greeley experienced a major plant closure with Sykes Enterprises closing
it's Greeley location where approximately 300 jobs were lost, with the majority being in the customer
support field. R.R. Donnelley, a major employer in the Greeley area, also cut approximately 30% of its
workforce (about 80 individuals). Overall, the Weld County region has experienced a general decline
in job availability and downsizing in a number of occupational areas due to the softening of the
economy. Industries and occupations hardest hit include manufacturing, electronics. middle-
management, and customer support positions. Weld County has also seen a continual shortage of
skilled workers in the areas of health-care, transportation, computer control operations, heating and
air conditioning technicians, truck drivers, and other technical areas.
The general factors contributing to the changes in the Weld County economic sectors are related to
the decline in the economy as seen statewide as well as nationally, and an increase of the use of
technology in some of the manufacturing processes used by local employers.
b. Identify the current and projected employment trends and needed job skills needed for
individuals seeking employment and for employers seeking employees.
Weld County completed an intensive Labor Market Analysis in 2000, and included this information in
the Five year Workforce Investment Act Plan which is available at http://www.eswc.org. One of the
local labor market issues that has remained the same is the low availability of a labor force that
possesses the adequate basic skills required by employers. The continued development of
partnerships, Workforce Board planning, and the development of initiatives that address specific
employer needs will continue to be a working strategy within Weld County as a means to address
identified labor shortage areas.
c. Describe the workforce investment needs of businesses,job seekers and workers and how
those needs were determined.
There have been no significant changes from the Weld County Five Year Plan regarding the
workforce investment needs of businesses,job seekers, and workers, or in how those needs are
determined.
II. Workforce Investment Board
a. Please describe any changes in your organizational structure and submit a current
organizational chart.
The current organization chart is located as Attachment 1. There have not been any changes to the
organizational structure of the Weld County Workforce Region.
b. Please submit copies of your Local Workforce Investment Board (WIB) and Local Youth
Council lists.
The current Weld County Workforce Development Board and the Weld County Youth Council lists are
included at attachment 2.
c. Describe how the WIB involves the community in discussions and ensures input in
establishing program goals.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board completes it work through the following three major
committees: Employment Program Development Committee; Marketing Committee; and the Youth
Council. In addition to formally appointed Board Members, committees include associate and ex-
officio members, and the Board encourages the continued participation of former board member as
well as involvement from institutions such as Aims Community College and the University of Northern
Colorado.
When needed, task forces are created to focus on specific issues and interested parties are invited to
participate in planning processes. For example, the Workforce Development Board and the Youth
Council worked on a Child Care and Youth Supervision Task Force designed to identify the needs of
Weld County youth ages 13-17. This Task Force involved more than thirty individuals and youth to
ensure that broad input and participation was realized. The information obtained will be used in the
development of future youth programs for Weld county.
Another task force was established to review cases and guide staff in identifying resources for clients
enrolled in the Temporary Assistance and Needy Families program and included participation by
numerous community agencies and employers. This Task Force addressed the needs of individuals
on public assistance and focused on the issues facing individuals with multiple barriers to
employment.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board uses task forces, chambers of commerce, surveys,
and economic development agencies to meet and respond to employer issues and needs. For
example, in Weld County, a large portion of the labor force is monolingual. A task force was
convened by the Board and included Board members, employers, and community agencies to focus
on ways to address the issue. What resulted from this task force was an Employer based English as
a Second Language project that is funded under the WIA discretionary funds of the Colorado
Workforce Development Council.
The Workforce Board publishes a quarterly newsletter which is then provided to over 1300 business in
Greeley and eleven Chambers of Commerce throughout Weld County. This newsletter is used as a
marketing tool by the Board and provides updated information to the business community. It also
encourages employers to access the services provided by the Workforce Development System and
recognizes the Board as an avenue to address their work place needs.
d. Identify any changes to the process for prioritizing services.
Weld County has not made any changes to the process for prioritizing services identified in the Five
Year Workforce Investment Act Plan.
e. Provide a copy of any new or revised policies and procedures.
Weld County has not created any new or revised policies. The most current policies were provided to
CDLE's Field Representative at the monitoring conducted in April 2002.
f. Describe the monitoring and oversight responsibilities of the WIB.
The policies and procedures for the workforce development system are developed and formalized at
the committee level. These are then taken to the full board, or the Executive Committee for
finalization and or ratification. Each of the committees establishes their own goals, objectives, and
outcomes around what they want to accomplish during the year, and then work on those issues during
their committee meetings. Reports regarding committee progress and accomplishments for these
goals are then given to the full board.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board utilizes customer surveys to determine levels of
satisfaction regarding services provided, as well as to identify any unmet needs. The Board then
utilizes this information to identify appropriate actions to resolve issues.
The appropriate committees review program reports as well as specific program performance levels
and outcomes. The Workforce Board is currently developing a matrix which will identify all of the
major workforce program's outcomes, and once obtained will utilize this information to determine how
the overall workforce system is responding to customers and their needs.
Workforce Board members also participate in employer visits with staff from Employment Services to
answer questions that the employer may have and to provide them with a business perspective
regarding the services available.
Ill. Local One Stop System
a. 'Describe the various orientations provided to all customers. In particular, describe any
changes that will streamline the process for registrants (WP) and Dislocated Workers (WIA).
Weld County does not utilize group registrations for individuals seeking Wagner-Peyser or W IA
services. Customers are registered at desk side and are provided individual orientations regarding
the core, intensive, and training services available through Employment Services of Weld County.
Individuals who express an interest in these additional services are referred to a case manager to
receive more specific program information as well as complete the additional paperwork required for
enrollment into the appropriate program.
Weld County has made a change in how it registers Unemployment Insurance registrants. Weld
County has gone to group orientations to streamline this process. Group registrations are held twice a
week for individuals needing to register for unemployment in work search requirements. Registrants
are able to request a desk side registration if it is more convenient for them due to their schedule.
b. How do you deliver these orientations and what is the average wait time for each process prior
to enrollment?
As mentioned above, with the exception of UI registrations, orientations are individual desk side
appointments. Program specific orientations are also individualized and are typically held with the
case manager on the same day the individual registers for WP services, unless a case manager is not
available or the customer cannot stay for additional time needed to be seen. In these cases, an
appointment is set at the customers earliest convenience.
c. Provide new or revised copies of memorandums of understanding (MOU). If you are unable to
complete an MOU with a partner agency, please state the reasons why and what approaches
to rectifying the issues have been employed.
The Memorandum of Understandings with the partner agencies have been reviewed and do not
require any modifications.
d. How many full service One Stop Centers are in your workforce region? How many satellite
offices are there? If your full service centers are co-locating with particular agencies, describe
the process. If not, describe what the issues are that are keeping this from happening.
Currently there is one full service one-stop center in the Weld County region which is located in
Greeley, and one satellite office in Fort Lupton. Weld County is currently exploring options of opening
a satellite office in the Del Camino area in Weld County. The satellite office is open on a limited basis
but provides the full range of services available in the full service office. The Greeley office is co-
located with the Weld County Area Agency on Aging, and the Family Education Network of Weld
County (Headstart Program). Although not co-located with the Weld County Department of Social
Services, Employment Services does operate the Colorado Works (TANF), and Employment First
Food Stamp Job Search Programs.
e. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of current programs in your workforce region.
The strength of the programs in the Weld County Region is that the programs are fully integrated with
other major employment and training programs in Weld County as discussed in the five year plan.
There is limited duplication of services and customers have numerous employment and training
options to choose from to meet their needs. Additionally, Weld County has a strong involved
Workforce Development Board that focuses on the "big picture" in workforce development. This has
resulted in a number of very positive initiatives working with the Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families Program, people with disabilities, limited English speaking customers, and offenders. Under
the Board's direction, experts from various fields such as Civil Rights, Workers Opportunities Tax
Credit, and other areas provide employer based seminars throughout the year. Additional information
regarding the Board's initiatives and the results for the 2001 Workforce Programs are located in the
Weld County Workforce Development Board's Annual Report located on Employment Services of
Weld County's web site at www.eswc.org.
f. What process has been employed for internal monitoring and contractor monitoring?
The internal monitoring policy for Weld County is located as Attachment 3. Weld County does not
sub-contract services.
g. If your workforce region's performance standard achievement was less than the 100% in any
measure, list which measures fell short. Identify what steps will be taken to ensure an
outcome of 100%for PY 2002.
Employment Services met and exceeded all the WIA performance standards for Older Youth,
Younger Youth, Dislocated Workers, and all of the Adult measures with the exception of the Adult
Earnings Change rate. Although Weld County did not meet 100% of the Adult Earnings Changer rate,
the Federal minimum of 80% of the standard was achieved. The 100% requirement for Earnings
Change was $2,788, and the 80% requirement was $2,230.40. Weld County achieved $2,356.83
which is 84.5% of the established standard. When the W IA standards were negotiated in 2000, Weld
County realized that the Wage Replacement rate for the WIA Adult program would be difficult to
achieve. Weld County wages have traditionally been lower than the rest of the Front Range and have
averaged between $6.50 - $7.50 per hour and the per-capita income ranges from $3,000 to $21,500
less than other Front Range Counties. Employment Services would need to renegotiate the standard
to a more reasonable level for Weld County to be able ensure that the Earnings Replacement rate for
Adults will be met.
h. Describe how the WIB will ensure continuous improvement of services by eligible training
providers that will address the employment needs of local employers and participants.
The Workforce Investment Board and Aims Community College have a strong active relationship
where Aims' involvement in the Board facilitates discussion regarding the employment needs of local
employers and participants. As mentioned earlier, a number of initiatives such as the ESL Partnership
with employers, an H1B grant proposal, and a health care initiative currently in planning, have
addressed some of the identified employment needs. The University of Northern Colorado has also
been an active participant in planning initiatives and their involvement with the Workforce Board, along
with Aims, has allowed for input regarding the employment needs of employers and Workforce Center
participants.
IV. Wagner-Peyser
a. Please provide an update on the level of integration of the Wagner-Peyser programs into the
One-Stop service delivery system. Discuss any changes or enhancements planned for the PY
2002 Wagner-Peyser program.
The Wagner-Peyser programs are fully integrated in the Weld County Workforce Region. There are
no changes or enhancements anticipated at this time.
4O9-2-7=2:59
b. With the recent shift in the economy and its impact on local employment trends, please
discuss current or planned efforts to increase employer partnerships. Identify how these
partnerships will affect placement opportunities for program participants.
Employment Services of Weld County and the Workforce Development Board has a marketing plan
which focuses on the employer community. Business is actively solicited from both new as well as
existing employers. During employer visits, staff provide information to the employer regarding the
benefits available through the various programs operated by Employment Services. These services
can range from self-help -services utilizing tools available on the web, listing a job order, or
participating in specialized programs such as On-the-Job training for customers in specific programs.
Employment Services and the Work Force Development Board actively encourage employers to
become involved in various initiatives. During the next program year, there are two major initiatives
planned. An English as a Second Language Employer Partnership program will recruit a number of
new employers to participate in developing and piloting various ESL projects. Aims Community
College, Banner Health Systems, and/or other employers from the medical field will form a partnership
designed to provide additional options in health care careers in the Weld County Region.
c. Discuss what changes are being considered for recruiting new employers and/or matching
employees to employers.
Employment Services will encourage new employers to participate in the two initiatives discussed
above. While not new, the Weld County Workforce Development Board's marketing plan addresses
strategies to involve employers in the system. A comparison is made between job orders placed with
Employment Services and the skills that job seekers identify when registering Employment Services.
If there is an under supply of job openings in a specific occupational area in comparison to job skills of
registered customers, the Employer Relations Unit will target that sector of employers to increase job
openings. As customers with specialized skills are identified, staff attempt to market those customers
to employers who may utilize their skills through special job development efforts.
V. Adult and Dislocated Worker
a. Provide a general description of the barriers that customers are currently facing when looking
for employment. Identify what skill gaps will need to be addressed and the types of supportive
services needed to get them employed.
Typically, customers seeking services through the W IA Adult program lack the necessary skills to
obtain employment. This would include: low functioning levels in basic skills such as reading, math,
English, and computing; lack of a GED; limited or non-existent job skills in the occupation desired;
and/or limited work experience in any occupation; etc.
Customers whose skills in reading, math, English, and/or computing and not at the levels required for
employment in their chosen field need remedial education to acquire those skills. Individuals who lack
the job-skills needed for entry into specific occupations need to have their skill gaps addressed
through occupational skills training. Supportive services needed to assist individuals in obtaining
employment vary based upon individual need. Examples of services that may be need would be
transportation assistance (gas vouchers, or bus passes)or child care assistance which would allow
individuals to participate in training. Other services could be the purchase of work tools or work
clothes needed for a job.
b. List the array of services and/or new levels of services available to adults and dislocated
workers.
The services available to adults and dislocated workers are located in the five year plan. The
Expenditures Authorizations located as attachments to this modification, also provide specific detailed
information on services available to adults and dislocated workers.
c. Identify whether you are employing a priority of services for adults. If so,what changes of
services to other populations do you plan.
Weld County is not employing a priority of services for adults at this time. If a need would arise that
would necessitate a priority of services to be implemented, Weld County would follow its Board
approved policy.
d. Are you using the eligible training provider list? What issues are you experiencing? Should
the State receive a waiver to the ETP list, how will this be applied to your workforce region?
Weld County does utilize the eligible training provider list when considering approval of training for
customers. Up to this point, there have not been any major issues of concern with the eligible
provider list. Staff at CDLE responsible for the eligible provider list have been very helpful in getting
providers on the list. An area that should be addressed is subsequent eligibility and specifically,
ensuring the State is flexible in the data that is excepted. For example, community colleges should be
allowed to report Carl Perkins data for the subsequent eligibility requirement. If the State would
receive a waiver to the ETP list, Weld County would apply it according to the waiver guidelines.
e. Describe any planned programmatic changes that are related to September 11, 2001 and the
recent economic downturn. List how these factors may impact your planned services for PY
02.
Weld County does not anticipate any programmatic changes that would be related to September 11,
2001 and the recent economic downturn. Weld County does not see any significant impact to the
programs that have not already been experienced.
f. If there are significant lay-offs in your region and you apply for the National Emergency Grant
monies, identify what programmatic changes will be implemented.
The Weld County Workforce Region collaborated with the Colorado Department of Labor in the
development of a National Emergency Grant and we do not anticipate applying for a separate NEG
grant beyond this. The industries and occupations hardest hit during the current program year have
been manufacturing, electronics, middle-management, and customer support.
,VI. Youth Activities
a. Provide a description of the types of youth activities provided in your local area for WIA youth.
Describe whether these services are readily available and assess their quality of services to
your youth program. Please identify best practices.
The Youth Expenditure Authorization located as an attachment to this modification addresses the
youth activities provided in the Weld County Workforce Region for youth.
b. Describe any problems with your current program structure for serving youth and
expenditures of youth dollars. What changes will you implement to correct these concerns?
Weld County does not have any current problems with the structure for serving youth. In February of
2002, Weld County modified its plan to serve more out-of-school youth. Due to the primary emphasis
of serving youth with work experience placements only in the summer and the focus of trying to serve
more in-school youth, Employment Services identified that it was not spending youth dollars at the rate
originally expected. Therefore, to better serve the youth in the community, Employment Services
shifted its focus towards serving a higher percentage of out-of-school youth and to involve youth in
work experience placements throughout the year. With the downturn in the economy, youth face a
much more difficult challenge in finding unsubsidized employment without prior experience therefore,
to assist youth in gaining this experience and to better prepare them for work, Employment Services
will provide work experience throughout the year and for longer periods of time.
c. The State is pursuing a waiver to allow workforce centers to be included on the youth provider
list and to include follow-up, work experience and support services in the design framework of
youth services. If the waiver is approved, how will this affect the delivery of services?
There will be not significant impact in the design framework of youth services in Weld County if the
waiver is approved. Weld County did not receive any responses to its RFP for youth services, and
therefore, a waiver would not affect how services are delivered.
d. Will you be proposing any changes to the 70/30 split for youth expenditures? If so, please
identify proposed changes and how this will impact the delivery of services.
There are not any changes to the split for youth expenditures that were not included in the
modification of the PY01 Expenditure Authorization. Weld County modified its Expenditure
Authorization to spend 60% of its funds on out-of-school youth and 40% for in-school youth and will
continue this split of funds in PY 02.

• Provide a brief overview of your regions' One-stop operations. Describe any new initiatives,
program changes or pilot projects.
The Board of Weld County Commissioners and the Weld County Workforce Development Board continue
to support a single delivery system which results in both cost efficiency and a customer responsive
structure for job seekers and employers.
Employment Services of Weld County is an integrated system offering as many employment and training
programs and services as feasible. The major integrated programs administered under the one stop
concept are WIA programs for adults, dislocated worker and youth, basic labor exchange under the
Wagner-Peyser Act, Welfare to Work, AmeriCorps, Youth Crime Prevention and Intervention program and
other employment, training and support programs. Through an agreement with the Department of Social
Services, Employment Services of Weld County also administers the employment, training, and related
support activities for the Colorado Works in Weld County Program (Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families) and the Employment First Food Stamp Job Search Program.
Employment Services is a customer focused system which provides customer choice and is viewed as a
place where customers choose how and where to get information, assessments, education, and training.
Through the operation of the basic labor exchange,job seekers and employers can obtain information
regarding regional and statewide job placement services. Customers are also able to access national job
placement and labor market information through the use of technology.
Under the Workforce Investment Act, there are three levels of service available to customers accessing
workforce development information and programs and they are structured in the following manner:
• Tier 1: Information which can be accessed directly by the customer through the use of technology,
including the core services which occur at the agency level. Some of these core services are
basic labor exchange (job placement,job referrals,job orders, and employment counseling),
initial assessment, labor market information, etc.
- Tier 2: Intensive Services which identify obstacles to employment and the development of individual
employment plans, career planning, basic skills preparation, etc.
• Tier 3: Training Services to assist individuals with obtaining the skills necessary to obtain and retain
employment include On-the Job Training contracts or training vouchers. Training vouchers
help cover costs for training programs at approved schools.
Two pilot project were initiated in Program Yar 2001 and will continue into program Year 2002.
�-/ce/
The Targeted Triage Program is funded under the Wagner-Peyser 20% Discretionary funds. This
program is designed to provide more core and intensive services for job seekers who are monolingual,
offenders or handicap. This case manager assists the target groups by providing a more intensive
registration, identification of needs and help them navigate access into partner programs or W IA programs
if appropriate. The case manager may do job development, help them with resumes, etc.
The Partnering for English Skill Development project was funded under the W IA Discretionary funds. The
purpose of the project is to develop strategies to meet employers as well as individuals with limited English
needs in the workplace. It will increase the number of alternatives of the delivery of English as A Second
Language at the work site, develop a resource guide for employer to address their job specific and English
skills needs, pilot computer assisted instruction and address human resource and supervisors needs in
working with limited speaking individuals.

Employment Services met and exceeded all the WIA performance standards for Older Youth, Younger
Youth, Dislocated Workers, and all of the Adult measures with the exception of the Adult Earnings Change
rate. Although Weld County did not meet 100% of the Adult Earnings Changer rate, the Federal minimum
of 80% of the standard was achieved. The 100% requirement for Earnings Change was $2,788, and the
80% requirement was $2,230.40. Weld County achieved $2,356.83 which is 84.5% of the established
standard. When the WIA standards were negotiated in 2000, Weld County realized that the Wage
Replacement rate for the WIA Adult program would be difficult to achieve. Weld County wages have
traditionally been lower than the rest of the Front Range and have averaged between $6.50 - $7.50 per
hour and the per-capita income ranges from $3,000 to $21,500 less than other Front Range Counties.
Employment Services would need to renegotiate the standard to a more reasonable level for Weld County
to be able ensure that the Earnings Replacement rate for Adults will be met.
