IL SCOPE OF WORK:
1. 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 not
enrolled in WIA or some 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.
2. Services to be Provided
Recruitment will be conducted through an established triage approach at the time
of the initial Wagner Peyser interview. The recruitment process will incorporate
the flexibility of developing alternate recruitment approaches as needed. The
reception desk will conduct screening to ensure all potential participants are
informed of these services. By incorporating reception staff in 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 utilize various assessment tools available to them to 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 ready will be provided in-depth assistance in accessing 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 job referrals based upon each
participant's work skills and abilities, and utilizing labor market information to
determine transferable skills' assessment. A networking environment will allow
individuals to receive instruction on use of the internet and other computer
technology that will enhance their jobsearching skills. Intensive 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.
