1. Scope of Work
A. Purpose and Goal
A number of employers, either on the Board or those listing with Employment Services, have
indicated a need to increase the current workforce skills for employees who are non-English
speaking or who have limited English. Employers either are unaware of how to access
resources to meet their needs, or have used existing resources and found that they did not meet
their needs. In addition, human resource personnel and/or supervisors who are working with the
expanding limited English speaking workforce, do not posses the skills or have access to
resources to address personnel issues.
Employers have indicated that their limited English speaking workforce is locked into entry level
positions, because they are limited in communicating or learning new skills to move up in the
company.
The goals for this project are:
• Increase the number of alternatives for delivery of English as a Second Language at the
work site.
• Develop Spanish curriculum in construction trades from English to Spanish and provide
training on site.
• Develop Spanish curriculum for key human resources issues and training.
• Develop a list of resources available to employers to address their job specific and English
skills needs.
• Encourage leaming English through the participation of the Spanish radio stations and
identify partnerships marketing techniques with employers.
• Use computer assisted instruction and test benefits of learning English on the computer as
well as gaining computer literacy skills.
• Develop a Resource Guide for employers.
D► - 3a43
The project's innovation strategies include:
• Employers have assisted in developing this project to meet their various needs.
• Provides alternatives to standard delivery methods for English as a Second Language at the
work site.
• Explores options that employers can access to address needs in human resource areas.
• Develops innovative delivery methods of gaining English work place skills.
• Provides a data base of success of each individual modality based on the populations
served.
• Provides a resource guide for employers.
B. Services to be Provided
The project will identify the current employment and training options available to employers to
increase the work skills of the limited English speaking employees. This will include options for
translating job skills; training in employer specific skills, identifying alternative methods to
delivering English skills and costs for the alternative delivery methods. Alternatives will be
identified to assist human resource departments in translating key employer policies such as
health benefits, etc. into Spanish and identify a list of translators to help employers deal with
complaints, etc.
C. Projected Number of Participants to be Served
This project will provide 60 to 80 incumbent workers and job seekers with English Workplace
skills and 15 to 20 human resource managers and supervisors with Spanish skills.
D. Expected Outcomes
Employment Service expects the following as outcomes of this project.
• A number of alternatives for delivering English as a Second Language will be developed in
conjunction with employer partners.
• Each alternative will have measurable outcomes to demonstrate the effectiveness of the
delivery method, the provider of services, and an analysis by the employer in meeting their
needs.
• A Resource Guide will be developed which will identify services providers, identify options
for developing and delivering English work place skills on the job; model strategies as
demonstrated through this projects, costs, and translator resources.
E. Coordination with Other Service Partners

Employment Services, Aims Community College, Right to Read, Rocky Mountain SER,

task force will also look for additional partner employers to sponsor this initiative.
