B. Services to be Provided
Wagner-Peyser Act services have been an integral part of Employment Services One-Stop

described in Section 7(a) of the Wagner-Peyser Act are universally available to all of he
customers of Employment Services of Weld County.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board and Employment Services will continue to
implement and revise the following marketing strategies to increase employer relations and
applicant services over the next 5 years.
1. General Business Development Strategies.
(a). Increase the awareness of the services offered through Employment Services through an
educational marketing campaign designed to increase the number of presentations to
employers and community groups, and improve brand awareness through the use of
media displays and promotional materials.
(b). Review job orders for specific industry groups and see how we are generating applicants
to respond to those job orders, and how we are recruiting customers for programs to
increase the utilization of services.
(c). Increase the number of opportunities to publicize the system through the use of news
releases that inform the community about special programs. Promote special recognition
awards and events that recognize staff and program accomplishments, as well as
recognizing successful and satisfied customers.
(d). Continue to conduct customer satisfaction surveys and gather statistical data to assist in
determining program effectiveness. Utilize information form surveys to identify areas that
can benefit from improved marketing efforts and program design.
2. New business and existing business development strategies will continue to include
coordination between the Economic Development Action Partnership and the Weld County
Chamber of Commerce to offer our services to new and existing business.

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
