II. SCOPE OF WORK:
A. Purpose and Goal
Addressing the regional health care workforce shortage is a high priority for the Weld County
Workforce Development Board and Employment Services of Weld County. Therefore, the purpose of
the Aims Community College Certified Nurse Aide Program Expansion project is to address the
current health care workforce shortage in northeastern Colorado and the Denver metropolitan area.
Through this project, Aims Community College (Aims)will expand its Certified Nurse Aide (CNA)
program to increase the number of qualified CNAs and decrease the number of vacant CNA positions
in the region. Completion of the CNA program is the first step for many individuals who go on to earn
a practical nursing (PN) certificate, an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and/or a Bachelor of
Science degree in nursing (BSN). Many individuals, including those that go on to higher levels of
training in allied health professions, enter the workforce immediately after completing the CNA
program. In particular. most students that intend to complete the nursing program at the University of
Northern Colorado attend Aims for CNA training. At this time, Aims has reached its capacity to
provide CNA training. Through the use of these discretionary funds, Aims will be able to develop new
clinical training sites, additional lab space and lecture classroom space. as well as additional CNA
classes. In addition to Aims, other primary partners in this project include Employment Services of
Weld County, Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse Association, Bonell Good Samaritan Center, and Life
Care Centers of Greeley. This project is intended to be an exemplary model targeted to the health
care industry, one of the goals and priorities for Wagner-Peyser 10% discretionary grants.
B. Services to be Provided
Employment Services of Weld County and the Weld County Workforce Development Board will enter
into an agreement with Aims Community College to develop and expand options for increased CNA
training in Weld County. The Aims Community College Certified Nurse Aide Program Expansion
project will be managed by the Department of Allied Health & Human Services (AHHS) at Aims and
include:
• Recruitment/Applications: Aims will continue to conduct recruitment activities through the
channels it already utilizes, including participating in regional career fairs and college fairs and
staffing booths at popular local and regional community events.
As part of the program expansion project, AHHS will seek additional support for recruitment from
local and regional community organizations. Aims will have CAN students complete the
application form provided by Employment Services of Weld County.
• Assessment &Advising: Prospective CNA program participants will meet with a staff member
from the Aims Student Success Center and/or AHHS Department to assess their academic,
career, and personal readiness for training and employment as a CNA. Through the Alcanzar
Program, diverse students that participate in the CNA program will receive additional academic,
career, and personal support services.
• Employer Services & Job Placement: Graduates of the CNA program will be eligible for
employment and job placement services that Aims provides to all enrolled students and
graduates. They may also receive assistance through the Alcanzar Program and Employment
Services of Weld County. Additionally, AHHS staff have contacts with various local and regional
hospitals, health care agencies, health care professions organizations, and employment
organizations that will assist AHHS in placing CNA graduates.
• Follow-up: AHHS will be responsible for follow-up on all issues concerning the CNA Program
Expansion project, including following up on individual program graduates and employers of
program graduates. Follow-up communication will take place through telephone, mail, face-to-
face, and electronic correspondence and will focus on program completion rates,job placement
rates, employee/employer satisfaction, and continuing education goals.
AHHS will conduct follow-up on every aspect of the program expansion including: community
relations, financial management, program management, project status, problems and successes,
accomplishment of goals, participant enrollment and program completion, etc. Feedback from
employers and participants will take place via telephone, mail, face-to-face, and electronic
correspondence and will focus on program completion rates,job placement rates, and
participant/employer satisfaction. The Associate Dean for AHHS will complete quarterly reports using
the format provided for Wagner-Peyser 10% Discretionary Grants and will provide those reports to
Employment Services of Weld County. The Associate Dean for AHHS will also prepare a report that
assess program productivity on a quarterly basis, and will prepare semi-annual and annual reports
regarding productivity and program management. Reports will be disseminated to all program
partners.
Aims has already received funding through a Tech Prep grant to support the Alcanzar Program and is
waiting to hear about funding from the US Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of
Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) to support the Alcanzar program. All of these funds will/would be
available starting fiscal year 2005. (The primary goal of the Alcanzar Program is to use an
educational career ladder model to recruit, train, graduate, and place individuals, with an emphasis on
Hispanic secondary students and adults, into allied health professions in northeastern Colorado.)
C. Projected Number of Participants to be Served
This project is primarily designed to increase the overall capacity of Aims Community College to train
Certified Nurse Assistants. The projected number of participants to be served is identified under
Section D — Expected Outcomes.
D. Expected Outcomes
Aims Community College will develop 3 new partnerships with health care agencies to provide clinical
sites for CNA training.
The Certified Nurse Aide Program at Aims Community College will expand to include 6 additional
CNA classes annually.
Each additional CNA class will enroll up to 15 students, for a minimum of up to100 additional students
annually.
Of the students that enroll in the additional CNA classes, at least 60% will successfully complete the
program.
The AHHS department of Aims Community College will assess the success of the program
graduates, to include the number of students who enter employment or continue their education, by
developing and implementing a Post-Completion Survey to all students within one month of
completion.
By the end of the project period, Aims will have developed the infrastructure to continue providing
additional CNA training to address the health care workforce shortage and demand for CNAs in the
region.

A. Concept/Statement of Need
A statement of the purpose of the project:
Addressing the regional health care workforce shortage is a high priority for the Weld County Workforce
Development Board and Employment Services of Weld County. Therefore, the purpose of the Aims
Community College Certified Nurse Aide Program Expansion project is to address the current health
care workforce shortage in northeastern Colorado and the Denver metropolitan area. Through this
project, Aims Community College (Aims) will expand its Certified Nurse Aide (CNA) program to increase
the number of qualified CNAs and decrease the number of vacant CNA positions in the region.
Completion of the CNA program is the first step for many individuals who go on to earn a practical nursing
(PN) certificate, an associate degree in nursing (ADN), and/or a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing
(BSN). Many individuals, including those that go on to higher levels of training in allied health
professions, enter the workforce immediately after completing the CNA program. In particular, most
students that intend to complete the nursing program at the University of Northern Colorado attend Aims
for CNA training. However, Aims has reached its capacity to provide CNA training. Through the use of
discretionary funds, Aims will be able to develop new clinical training sites, additional lab space and
lecture classroom space, as well as additional CNA classes. In addition to Aims, other primary partners in
the project will include Employment Services of Weld County, Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse
Association, Bonell Good Samaritan Center, and Life Care Centers of Greeley. This project will be an
exemplary model targeted to the health care industry, one of the goals and priorities for Wagner-Peyser
10% discretionary grants.
A description of the roles of the region and collaborative partners in determining the employer or job
seeker target groups:
Representatives from a number of organizations began meeting in 2001 to discuss potential responses to
the health care workforce shortage, including the shortage of qualified CNAs and nurses, in northeastern
Colorado. The following is a partial list of organizations that have participated as collaborative partners in
those discussions:
• Employment Services of Weld County
• Aims Community College
• University of Northern Colorado College of Health and Human Sciences
• Colorado State University College of Applied Human Sciences
• Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurse Association
• Life Care Centers of Greeley
• Bonell Good Samaritan Center
• Beehive Homes of Colorado
• Salud Family Health Centers
• Platte Valley Medical Center
• Northern Colorado Medical Center
• Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment
• Several local school districts
• Several community organizations
An explanation of how employers or targeted groups were identified including data and criteria utilized in
the selection process:
Employers and targeted groups that would benefit from this project were identified primarily through
meetings of the organizations listed above. Organizations that employ health care workers provided their
own organizational data regarding past and current position vacancies and expected growth and needs
for the future. Academic institutions including schools, community colleges, and universities, brought
data regarding existing health care program offerings, enrollment capacity, student interest, and
projections of future needs.
Criteria under consideration included: What is the current number of CNA position vacancies? Who in the
region is currently offering CNA training, and how many CNAs are those organizations able to train each
year? How many CNA position vacancies are projected for the next 5, 10, and 20 years? How do factors
such as the retirement and promotion of current CNAs, expected increase in the regional population,
increasing diversity of the regional population, and aging of the regional population impact projections of
future health care industry needs? Does the region currently have, and expect to continue to have, a
sufficient number of unemployed or underemployed individuals that would qualify to participate in CNA
training programs and go on to fill CNA position vacancies?
Also, specific data were gathered from the following sources:
• US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics
• CDLE Larimer/Weld Job Vacancy Survey
• CDLE Denver Metro Job Vacancy Survey
Results of the Fall 2003 Job Vacancy Survey for the Larimer/Weld and Denver Metro areas, conducted
by the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE), indicated that the Health Care and Social
Assistance sector had the highest number of estimated vacancies that require vocational training or
certification. CNAs followed registered nurses as the occupation within the Health Care and Social
Assistance sector that had the most vacancies. The tremendous need for qualified CNAs in these
regions has placed a strain upon allied health training programs in the area.
The organizations listed above have also discussed the need to increase diversity among health care
students and employees in the region. The need for qualified CNAs from underrepresented groups is
critical. The population in northeastern Colorado and the Denver metropolitan area continues to increase
in number and diversity and research has shown that patients respond favorably to health care
professionals with whom they can identify.
Types of services needed for participants including those available from partner programs:
In order to increase the number of qualified CNAs in the region, it is necessary to increase the number of
individuals that can be trained as CNAs each year. One way to do that would be to expand the
enrollment capacity of the CNA program at Aims. Presently, Aims provides a total of 18 CNA classes per
year. Even with that number of classes, Aims is still seeing continued interest in the program and a
tremendous demand in the region for more trained CNAs. For instance, CNA classes offered through
Aims have been known to reach maximum enrollment capacity within the first hour after registration
begins, and they almost always fill up within the first few days of registration. Most CNA classes carry a
waiting list, and many prospective students are simply turned away.
In order to increase the number of individuals that can be trained as CNAs at Aims each year, the
program would need:
• Additional lecture, lab and clinical space to conduct the didactic lab and clinical portions of the
training
• One additional full-time faculty member
Types of employment and wage level opportunities available after receiving grant services
Individuals that have completed training via the expanded Aims Community College Certified Nurse Aide
Program would be eligible to earn the following wages:

B. Project Description
A complete description of the project including how such activities as recruitment, assessment, case
management, employer services, job placement, and follow-up will be implemented:
Employment Services of Weld County and the Weld County Workforce Development Board will enter into
an agreement with Aims Community College to develop and expand options for increased CNA training in
Weld County. The Aims Community College Certified Nurse Aide Program Expansion project will be
managed by the Department of Allied Health & Human Services (AHHS) at Aims.
• Recruitment: Aims will continue to conduct recruitment activities through the channels it already
utilizes, including participating in regional career fairs and college fairs and staffing booths at
popular local and regional community events. In addition, AHHS works with the Aims Department
of Human Resources, other regional colleges and universities and health care training providers,
and numerous regional hospitals, health care agencies, health care professions organizations,
and employment organizations, to assist in recruitment activities..
As part of the program expansion project, AHHS will seek additional support for recruitment from
local and regional community organizations. One example is Latinos in Action, an Aims
Community College student organization that promotes the importance of education within the
local Latino community. AHHS will also recruit through the Aims Alcanzar Program. The primary
goal of the Alcanzar Program is to use an educational career ladder model to recruit, train,
graduate, and place individuals, with an emphasis on Hispanic secondary students and adults,
into allied health professions in northeastern Colorado.
• Assessment &Advising: Prospective CNA program participants will meet with a staff member
from the Aims Student Success Center and/or AHHS Department to assess their academic,
career, and personal readiness for training and employment as a CNA. Through the Alcanzar
Program, diverse students that participate in the CNA program will receive additional academic,
career, and personal support services.
• Employer Services & Job Placement: Graduates of the CNA program will be eligible for
employment and job placement services that Aims provides to all enrolled students and
graduates. They may also receive assistance through the Alcanzar Program and Employment
Services of Weld County. Additionally, AHHS staff have contacts with various local and regional

Planning for this project involved individuals and organizations from the Larimer/Weld and Denver Metro
regions and i' is anticipated that program graduates will fill positions in both regions and in other regions
throughout the state.
Specific employer and partner commitments to the project:
See attached letters of commitment.
Innovative concepts, partnerships, project design, or service strategies:
This project is innovative in the sense that it is a multi-partner, collaborative effort that draws on the
specific capabilities of each of its partners. Partners include businesses (hospitals and health care
agencies), higher educational institutions and school districts, government agencies, and community
organizations. None of the partners or collaborating entities would be able to increase the number of
qualified CNAs and decrease the number of vacant CNA positions entirely on its own. However, together
they can have a substantial impact on the current health care workforce shortage in northeastern
Colorado and the Denver metropolitan area
F. Sustainability
A plan or process for planning and development of a strategy to insure that activities supported by the
grant award will be continued after the completion of the project using other public and/or private
resources:
Grant funding will end September 30, 2005, at which time the expanded program expects to be self-
sustaining through the generation of tuition, fees, FTE reimbursement, and continued collaborations with
healthcare organizations

II. SCOPE OF WORK:
A. Purpose and Goal
The primary goal for this project is to assist youth in making a positive transition from confinement
back into their community. As a result of services provided, it is anticipated that youth who participate
will have less involvement in gangs, fewer incidences of crime, and less recidivism because of the
positive alternatives they experience in their lives.

Youth and Adult Programs and the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps/AmeriCorps Program.
Employment Services believes that one of the more proactive ways to address the challenges that
t- ese youth will face is to provide them with positive options for their education. employment and
fining needs, in addition to the provision of opportunities designed to assist them in achieving
positive outcomes in their Jives.
B. Services to be Provided
The project includes four phases of transition for the youth as follows.
Phase 1 — Preparation
The activities during this phase will take place while youth are in confinement at Platte Valley Youth
Services Center (PVYSC) and when the youth are identified as being appropriate to participate.
Activities will consist of initial testing, instructional components regarding interests and aptitudes,
career exploration, identification/obtainment of documents needed for employment, job search,
interviewing, applications, appropriate dress, etc. Service plans will be made in collaboration with
appropriate staff of PVYSC.
Phase 2— Educational/Placement
Activities during this phase include work experience/limited internship placements, OJT hires, case
management activities and the delivery of educational components as appropriate and based upon
identified client need. Examples of activities include:
• alternative learning environments in which to work on a GED or allow them to return to school;
• improvement of essential skills in reading, writing, and math;
• assistance in passing entrance exams for post secondary education;
• obtain necessary workforce development skills;
• in-depth assessments through the use of interest inventories, aptitude tests, and skill
assessments; and
• entry into the workforce through placement activities.
Phase 3—Continuation of Case Management/Counseling

Employment Services of Weld County
PY 04 WIA 10%Youth Discretionary Proposal
Positive Transitions for Incarcerated Youth
1. Conceptual Framework
Provide a clear identification of the issue(s) and/or problems and the effect on the local workforce.
The Legal Action Center's report"After Prison: Roadblocks to Reentry-A Report on State Legal Barriers
Facing People with Criminal Records" indicates that due to the increase of legal "roadblocks" over the
past thirty years, reentry into society, including furthering ones education and obtaining a job, is much
more difficult for individuals who have been arrested or convicted of crimes. The youth targeted to be
served under this proposal face similar and more numerous challenges. In addition to their criminal
record, it is anticipated that the majority of the youth will not possess a diploma or GED. This lack of
completion of secondary education and the associated inability to find suitable employment which provides
for self sufficiency does have a bearing on an individual's potential for future involvement in criminal
behavior. Additionally, providing services to assist youth in obtaining their GED and making positive
attachments to the workforce will help ensure that Weld County's future workforce needs are met.
This proposal s a collaborative effort with the Platte Valley Youth Services Center (PVYSC) and is
designed to assist incarcerated youth in bridging the gap from confinement to structured services and
opportunities designed to improve their chances to be productive members of the workforce and their
community
Provide a demonstration of the appropriateness of the method to be used to address the issue
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Research Report
"Desktop Guide to Good Juvenile Detention Practice," indicates that there are five categories that current
research has identified as causes and correlates of delinquency and this project strongly addresses two of
those categories. First, the project is designed to attach those youth who lack a diploma or GED to
computerized assisted educational programs which provide constant positive reinforcement and enable
youth to achieve academic success. Additionally, this academic success provides youth with the
educational background required to obtain higher paying employment opportunities. Secondly, by
exposing youth to the world of work through Limited Internships with private sector employers, OJT's, or
through participation in the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps/AmeriCorps Program, they will be
prepared to enter and maintain employment and work towards self-sufficiency.
The project will provide structured education, employment and training options, as well as other services,
designed to reattach the youth to their communities and assist them in achieving positive outcomes in their
lives. The project will:
• Provide youth skills which have educational value, including the provision for leadership and decision
making opportunities;
• Attach the youth to the workforce through placements in Limited Internships or OJT's;
• Provide youth with the supportive services necessary for them to participate in activities;
• Provide youth with opportunities to be members of the Weld County Youth Conservation
Corps/AmeriCorps Program and to projects that have lasting value to the Weld County community.
Provide a detailed description of the goals and objectives of the project, including how WIA
performance indicators will be enhanced /achieved
The primary goal for this project will be to assist youth in making a positive transition from confinement
back into their community. As a result of services provided, it is anticipated that youth who participate will
have less involvement in gangs, fewer incidences of crime, and less recidivism because of the positive
alternatives they experience in their lives.
Coordination will take between other programs operated by Employment Services including the WIA Youth
and Adult Programs and the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps/AmeriCorps Program. The Planned
Participation and Termination Summary is included as Attachment 1.
Detail how the project will advance a system goal and/or Council area of focus
This project advances the system goals of: 1) Making education and workforce development the state's
number one economic development priority; and 2) Supporting local centers and operators in their efforts
to strengthen regional economies through locally driven strategically targeted workforce development
activities. Employment Services and the Youth Council have identified a need to improve services to
those youth exiting the juvenile justice system to assist them in making a positive transition to the
workforce.
Graduating from high school or obtaining a GED is critical for both obtaining post secondary education and
getting a good job. However, for far too many youth, and committed youth in particular, graduating on
time, or graduating at all, is more the exception than the rule. Youth who drop out of high school find it
difficult to achieve financial success. Data from the most recent Census Bureau's Survey of Income and
Program Participation suggests that high school dropouts are about three times as likely to slip into
poverty from one year to the next as those who have finished high school. Employment Services of Weld
County feels that this proposal provides services designed to assist incarcerated youth in making the
transition to work, post secondary education, and life. Although young people under the age of 18 years of
age (which high end estimates show 19.1% or 9,358 live in poverty) represent only 28 percent of the
population in Weld County, they represent 100 percent of the County's and employer's future.
Provide a description of the scope of work and tasks involved in accomplishing the project and
indicate how this project may be coordinated with other grants submitted for PY 04 funding
Employment Services believes that one of the more proactive ways to address the challenges that these
youth will face is to provide them with positive options for their education, employment and training needs,
in addition to the provision of opportunities designed to assist them in achieving positive outcomes in their
lives.
The project is designed to include four phases of transition for the youth as follows.
Phase 1 — Preparation
• The activities during this phase will take place while youth are in confinement at Platte Valley Youth
Services Center(PVYSC) and when the youth are identified as being appropriate to participate. Activities
will consist of initial testing, instructional components regarding interests and aptitudes, career exploration,
identification/obtainment of documents needed for employment,job search, interviewing, applications,
appropriate dress, etc. Service plans will be made in collaboration with appropriate staff of PVYSC.
Phase 2 — Educational/Placement
Activities during this phase include work experience/limited internship placements, OJT hires, case
management activities and the delivery of educational components as appropriate and based upon
identified client need. Examples of activities include:
• alternative learning environments in which to work on a GED or allow them to return to school;
• improvement of essential skills in reading, writing, and math;
• assistance in passing entrance exams for post secondary education;
• obtain necessary workforce development skills;
• in-depth assessments through the use of interest inventories, aptitude tests and skill assessments;
and
• entry into the workforce through placement activities.
Phase 3— Continuation of Case Management/Counseling

and PVYSC will provide case management/counseling services as appropriate. This will include follow-up
at the work site and continuation of educational services as necessary.
Phase 4— Follow-up
Follow-up services will be provided for twelve months after exit from the project. Information will be
collected regarding employment/post secondary status, issues and challenges the youth may be facing,
