EXHIBIT A
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Weld County will use CSBG funds to provide the services
and/or accomplish the programs outlined in the attached pages.
The budget plan is attached.
Page / of 82_ Pages
f
There are two (2) major reasons why people turn to welfare as an
option rather than employment:
. Barriers to employment, i.e. , lack of skills, lack of job
search techniques in finding employment, hard to find
employment opportunities.
. Little or no system resistance. It is not difficult to
obtain public assistance.
Work Experience is used as an alternative for individuals applying
for welfare (Welfare Diversion) , and for those on welfare seeking
full -time employment as an alternative to welfare.
Job Search activities (both classroom and individualized job
contacts) is an integral part of the Welfare Diversion Model .
This combination of activities is designed to transition the
participants into unsubsidized employment.
The Welfare Diversion Program is designed to provide a variety of
experiences which will assist the person in gaining work
experience, good work habits, and improving his/her skills in job
seeking. By enabling the individual to earn an income rather than
welfare, it retains the person's self-image and confidence, which
are important in making a successful move into the unsubsidized
work force.
The Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) provides adult and youth
employment activities to enhance employability with the goal of
attaining unsubsidized employment.
The Community Work Experience Program provides for public work
experience while the worker receives public assistance.
The Youth components (In-School , Out-of-School and Summer Youth) of
JTPA are designed to provide short term or part-time employment,
classroom training, peer counseling, and other subsidized
activities for economically disadvantaged youth.
