PROGRAM/PROJECT INFORMATION Reference Code :
Name: Return Unemployment Insurance to Employment VAX#: 677
Funding Source, Year, and Amount of funds: PY 03 Unemployment Insurance Reemployment Services
Period of Performance: From: August 1,2003 To: June 30, 2004
I. 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 W IA 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.
