H. 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 two approaches. A triage approach at the
time of the initial Wagner Peyser interview to provide basic program information and
targeting of individuals registered 4-8 weeks after initial registration. The recruitment
process will 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 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
environment will allow individuals to receive instruction on use of the Internet and
other computer technology that will enhance their job searching 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.
