I. Abstract:
The Weld County Private Industry Council (PIC) in conjunc-
tion with the Weld County Commissioners and the Weld County
Service Deliver Area (SDA) , propose to enter into a purchase
of service agreement with the Greeley Chamber of Commerce
and the Economic Development Advisory Board (EDAB) to
accomplish the following goals:
A. To develop and deliver a marketing program to new
and/or existing employers that addresses unemployment
in Weld County and ensures a reduction in welfare
dependency.
B. To assist the Weld County SDA in identifying new and
existing employers who are receptive to having cus-
tomized training packages designed to meet their needs
and strive for the employability of welfare
recipients.
C. To capitalize economic development for the Weld County
area by identifying the prospective expanding
businesses, the employer' s experiencing turnover and
the businesses that are starting-up. A comprehensive
economic development package will be offered to these
employers that will encourage them to work with the
SDA in establishing a cost contained personnel system
that is serviced by the SDA, thereby ensuring
increased job orders and placements for the Job
Service of Colorado and the hiring of welfare
recipients for the Job Training Partnership Act
(JTPA) .
It is anticipated that the outcome and the impact of achiev-
ing the goals will result in the following:
A. The smaller employers who are not in the position to
staff and fully develop a functioning personnel
department are also the same employers who need
assistance with Workmen's Compensation, Unemployment
Insurance, Affirmative Action , etc. They will be able
to access a personnel department that is run by the
SDA.
Having the local businesses' personnel department
function out of the SDA will mean all employment and
training programs will benefit from having an
increased base of employers with which to work. The
businesses will benefit from the direct placement and
technical expertise of the SDA staff, and the SDA
staff will be able to negotiate JTPA training programs
and the eventual hiring of welfare dependent
individuals as well as the direct placement of Job
Service clients.
B. Local employers will became knowledgeable of the
problems associated with the unemployed and the
welfare recipient and will be prepared to assist in
alleviating the problems to the best of their ability.
This will promote a higher quality of life to the
clients because the clients will now be working for
employer's who understand their specific problems.
C. Local employers will encourage and support the
Governor's Colorado First and Summer Job Hunt For
Youth program.
D. Employers who are contemplating expansion and/or new
businesses will be able to save training costs that
are associated with new employees because customized
training packages developed by the SDA, will ensure a
trained worker with marketable skills is available for
hiring immediately.
E. The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will be able to
initiate and expand upon the current Labor Market
Information that is available through the state by
conducting an indepth survey and analysis of the local
employers. The information obtained will be used for
both private and public sector planning and decision
making and will also enable the Greeley Area Chamber
of Commerce to provide data that will encourage
economic growth in the Weld County areas.
The efforts of the PIC and the Cccrissioners have led to
the design of an employment and training program that is
merged under one administrative structure entitled the
Employment Opportunities Delivery System (EODS) . EODS
combines the Job Service of Colorado, Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) , Welfare Diversion Program and the
Community Work Experience Pr gra:-a (DEP) into a singularly
focused approach to alleviate un_cnployn+ent and welfare
dependency in Weld County, Colorado.
To enhance the EODS program, a public and private sector
partnership was established through the Greeley Chamber of
Commerce, the Economic Development Advisory Board and EODS.
The partnership has continually ;rovided EODS the direction
to make the maximum usage of resources in order to meet the
overall goals of the employment end training programs.
Maximization of resources is met by the EODS program
providing the services needed to a majority of the clients
(services such as intake, assessment, occupational
information, labor market information, counseling, testing,
enrollment in training programs, job development, referral
to supportive services , veteran's assistance, job placement,
Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC), referral to job openings,
etc. )
EODS works in close coordination and cooperation with
those agencies that provide more specialized support in
assisting a client to overcome employment barriers. A
network of job developers has been functioning for several
years within the EODS structure. The network has been a
catalyst in ensuring the clients from all agencies who
require specialized employment and training services that
their specific needs are being net. This consolidated
approach within the EODS structure has brought together
agencies such as Vocational Rehabilitation, Weld Mental
Health, Community Corrections, Weld County Community Center
Foundation, School District Six, Airs Community College,
University of Northern Colorado, Weld BOCES and Schaefer
Rehabilitation Center.
The EODS consolidated approach has been tremendously
effective. Within the Job Service of Colorado structure,
EODS was the third best placement office in the entire
state. EODS was surpassed in placement of clients by
only the downtown Denver and Colorado Springs Job Service
Offices. This achievement occurred from October, 1983,
through June, 1984. Examination of previous years
accomplishments will reveal that EDDS has been consistently
one of the top producing offices in the Job Service system.
In terms of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) , EODS
has once again emerged with a solid record. Of the adult
clients who terminated from JTPA, 73 terminated to a job.
These clients were all successfully diverted from welfare.
Of the youth clients who terminated, 40 terminated to a
job. It is evident by EODS accomplishments that EODS has
demonstrated their effectiveness in the employment and
training system.
II. Statement of Need:
A. Identification of the Problem:
Weld County, Colorado has traditionally been associated
with agriculture. For several years, the Weld County
Commissioners , the Greeley City Council , the other
various city councils throughout Weld County, the
Greeley Chamber of Commerce and the private sector
employers have wrestled with trying to improve all of
Weld County's economic base ry expanding the industry
currently located in Weld County and encouraging new
business.
In order to ensure employment and opportunities for the
citizens of Weld County, the expansion of existing
business and the enticement of new businesses and/or
industry is critical . Attempts at diversifying the
economic base have met with moderate success; however,
if the citizens of Weld County are to experience in-
creased employment opportunities, the private sector
will need the assistance of employment and training
programs. Weld County must be equipped with the tools
necessary to avoid increased unemployment and welfare
rolls.
At the present time, Weld County is not sufficiently
capable of responding to erployer's needs for labor
market information or custom tailored employment and
training programs as is neeced.
The problem of not being fully equipped to respond to an
employer's request does more to hinder Weld County's
chances for economic growth than any other single act or
action. It also does not assist Weld County's efforts
to reduce the welfare roles if people cannot go to work
because no jobs exist or they are improperly trained.
, 8. Analysis of the Need:
There is a need within the Weld County SDA to be more
responsive to the local employers and the participants
who utilize the combined ECDS employment and training
programs. If the need is tc be answered successfully,
then the public and private partnership that has been an
outgrowth of the SODS system must focus all of the labor
market information and employment and training programs
into a comprehensive system. It will be the private
sector encouraging current and future employers to
become more reliant upon the ECDS system that will open
up the avenue for improved employment conditions and a
reduction in the welfare caseload.
Weld County's employer rarket remains for the most part,
family owned and in sore cases minimally staffed. These
smaller employers who are contemplating expansion are
not in a position to staff and fully develop a function-
ing personnel department. These same employers have not
been able to access the business meetings , organizations
and functions that would educate them to the intricacies
and opportunities available to them through the SODS
system. They are so completely involved in managing
their businesses that they are overlooking an important
tool that could assist them in containing costs and
point them in the direction of becoming responsive to
their employee 's needs.
The 1985 Annual Planning Report (published by the
Colorado Department of Labor) estimates that in 1985
there will be 32,955 new hires due to turnover in Weld
County. There is a definite reed to market CODS to the
small and/or existing employers who are currently
located in Weld County; after all , the 32,955 estimated
available positions will be theirs. The services
provided by SODS will enable the employer to continue
managing their business while a reliable and trained
work force is supplied to hin. The work force that will
respond to the employers needs is the welfare recipient
and unemployed of Weld County.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce has been involved
for a length of time in the creation of a comprehensive
labor market information surrey instrument. The Chamber
reports that they have a need to be more responsive to
the businesses that are inquiring about Weld County's
business and/or industry base and the qualifications of
the work force in Weld County. It has been reported
that when a new business makes inquiries, they are
asking for information that heretofore has not been
available. This lack of information was verbally
repeated again and again by all participants at the
September 18, 1984, Labor Market Information meeting
sponsored by the Colorado Department of Labor. It is of
pressing importance to be able to provide these prospec-
tive employers with the information they require in
order to encourage the expansion or creation of their
business in Weld County.
Being able to respond to an e:-ployer' s personnel needs
and provide labor market information that may
potentially increase Weld County's economic base is not
the only need. The Colorado Department of Social
Services has revealed that to single parent with
dependents has been steadily turning to welfare in order
to provide support for their families. These single
parents come equipped with a myriad of employment
barriers that must be overco-e before they can
participate in the work force. If these welfare
dependent individuals are to experience success in the
world of work, they have a need to be trained in
employment areas that will be expanding in the future.
It is the contention of the Meld County PIC that these
three (3) needs can be successfully challenged by
purchasing the services available to EODS by the Greeley
Area Chamber of Commerce.
C. Identification of Intended P:culation:
Individuals identified as re:eiving or being diverted
from welfare, being either t.re ployed, economically
disadvantaged, or receiving unemployment insurance will
be the targeted groups. This is on the EODS participant
side. On the private sector side, employer's seeking
expansion and/or businesses contemplating establishment
within Weld County will be the target groups to benefit
from the strong private sector and public partnership.
D. Description of Local Resider: Population, Etc. :
The 1985 Annual Planning Information Report prepared by
the Colorado Department of Labor's Research and
Development Section has identified an unemployment rate
of 5.6% within Weld County. The same statistics indi-
cate 18,400 individuals within Weld County are living
below poverty level and require employability services.
The JABPR5 Report provided by the Colorado Department of
Social Services reveals the AFDC population within Weld
County averages 1,336 households and has been steadily
increasing for the last five (5) years.
E. Grant Recipient and Administrator of Funds From the
State:
The Weld County Commissioners will be the recipient of
funds from the state and will administer the program
through the Weld County Service Delivery Area (SDA).
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will enter into a
purchase of services agreement with the SDA.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will match the
Discretionary Funds requested on a three to one basis in
excess of the request. These matching funds are from
local sources. The Chamber of Commerce has contributed
the matching funds for this project from Chamber
membership dues and other economic development revenues.
F. Geographical Area To Be Served:
The geographical area to be served is Weld County,
Colorado. Weld County is 4,004 square miles in size and
is classified as a rural area. It occupies the
north central portion of Colorado. Greeley is the
county seat and has 50'. of the Weld County population.
G. Employment Opportunities for Each Targeted Population;
and
H. Previous Efforts To Address The Specific
Problems:
The efforts of the PIC and the Commissioners have led to
the design of an employment and training program that is
merged under ore administrative structure entitled EODS.
EODS is a singularly focused approach to alleviate
unemployment and welfare dependency in Weld County,
Colorado.
In the past several years, EODS and the Weld County
Department of Social Services have worked closely in the
development of positive employment and training programs
for the Aid to Families with Dependent Children
Unemployed (AFDC-U) population. Currently, Weld County
operates the Welfare Diversion Program which takes as
its premise that the welfare applicant will choose a job
rather than welfare if given the job.
The AFDC-U population within Weld County has been
contained and drastically reduced due to the effective-
ness of the Weld County Welfare Diversion Program. The
Colorado Department of Social Services reports from
July, 1983 through June, 1984, the average number of
AFDC-U families in Weld County was fourteen (14). The
program's effectiveness is best realized when it is
compared to a similar county with regards to size,
location and population base. During the same time
period, the similar county's average number cf AFDC-U
families was 102.
As was previously reported in Section I, during the time
period of October, 1983, through June, 1984, EODS was
the third best placement office within the Job Service
of Colorado. During this same time frame, the JTPA
program of EODS was successful in the job placement of
73% of all terminating adults. All of the adults placed
were welfare.
The entire scope of employment and training programs
offered through JTPA, Job Service of Colorado, Welfare
Diversion and the Community Work Experience Program are
available to all eligible participants.
The private sector has always been the driving force
behind EODS. The Governor's State and Local Partnership
which was implemented in Weld County in 1978 was the
catalyst in assisting EODS to become more responsive to
the Weld County employers.
The job developer's network, which is currently being
expanded, has been functioning in the EODS structure for
several years. These individuals who represent numerous
agencies attempting to place their targeted clients in
employment situations cooperate together in responding
to job openings within Weld County.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce has previously
assisted EODS in updating the Job Service's Employer
Information System (EIS) . Traditionally, whenever a
business entertains opening its industry within Weld
County or an existing employer' s success has enabled
them to expand, they turn to the Chamber and the
Economic Development Advisory Board. The Chamber in
Weld County assists those employers with the surveys ,
marketing packages , and information pieces that are
needed for the employer to make a decision regarding
their business and Weld County.
One of the marketing tools used by the Greeley Chamber
is EODS. Whenever a new or existing employer meets with
the Chamber, the employment and training programs of
EODS are included in the marketing package. The effec-
tiveness of the marketing is noted in the several
exclusive hire arrangements EODS has developed with
employers in the Weld County area.
It is obvious that Weld Courty and the private sector in
Weld County have banded together to resolve welfare
dependency.
III. Goals and Objectives:
A. Project Goals and Objectives:
Goal #1
To develop and deliver a marketing program to new and/or
existing employers that addresses unemployment in Weld
County and ensures a reduction in welfare dependency.
Cbjectives
. The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will collaborate
with EODS via a purchase of service agreement to
develop a marketing program for the SDA.
. The Greeley Area Chamber of Coumierce will continue the
development of a common intake form and expand upon
the current Labor Market Information that is available
by conducting an indepth survey and analysis of the
local employers.
Goal =2
To assist the Weld County SDA in identifying new and
existing employers who are receptive to having cus-
tomized training packages designed to meet their needs
and strive for the employability of welfare recipients.
Objectives
. The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will identify for
the SDA new and existing e:-ployers in Weld County.
. The SDA will negotiate with the employers, the
establishment of industry responsive training packages
for Welfare Diversion and recipient clients (AFDC and
AFDC-U) , unemployed individuals , economically disad-
vantaged and recipients of unemployment insurance.
The employer will have trained workers with marketable
skills available for hiring immediately.
. The SDA will increase the job placement of Welfare
Diversior and recipients. The annual average welfare
caseload will be reduced by approximately 1% per month
from program start to ending date.
. The customized training programs developed
in collaboration with employers will make the
employers more knowledgeable of the problems
associated with the Welfare Recipient/Diversion Client
and the unemployed and the employee will be better
prepared to assist them in alleviating the problems.
Goal #3
To capitalize economic development efforts and job
turnover rates in Weld County by taking the EODS ser-
vices to the employer.
Objectives
. The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will include an
SODS marketing piece in information given to
prospective expanding businesses, employers
experiencing turnover and new businesses to the area.
. The SDA will work with the existing and or expanding
employers identified by the Greeley Area Chamber of
Commerce in establishing a cost contained personnel
system that is serviced by the SDA.
. Local employers will be encouraged by the Greeley
Area Chamber of Commerce and the SDA to support the
Governor's Colorado First and Summer Job Hunt for
Youth Program by early planning of summer employment
needs.
. The job orders and job placements of the Colorado Job
Service will be increased within the Greeley SODS Job
Service area by 5 % per Job Service Fiscal Year.
B. Relationship of Activities to State' s Priorities:
This proposal links with the state's priorities in the
following ways:
1. It promotes employment and training partnerships
with the private sector.
2. The proposal addresses a marketing plan for new
and/or existing employers.
3. The proposal enables the discretionary funds to
compliment the funds currently provided by all
individual employment and training programs by
enabling the SDA to offer customized and industry
responsive training packages to employers and
clients.
4. The proposal 's activities will promote economic
development activity in Weld County by identifying
employment opportunities within new businesses/industry,
current employers and expanding employers.
5. The project will develop economic and occupational
data needed by the private sector for expansion or
creation of business in Weld County.
6. The project ensures all economic development and
customized training will be used to establish
increased employment and training alternatives for
the individuals receiving welfare and/or being
diverted from welfare. The welfare caseload in Weld
County will reduce at the rate of 1% per month.
IV. Methodology:
The determination on how to utilize the discretionary funds
was developed by the Weld County PIC, the Weld County
Commissioner, Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce and the
Economic Development Advisory Board.
The overall goals of the local PIC are to provide for
economic development, contain unemployment and further
reduce welfare dependency within Weld County. These goals
can only be met by assisting Weld County employers in
becoming knowledgeable of EODS, the services and applicants
EODS offers and matching those services and applicants to
employer's needs.
The PIC has determined that the best way to access the
employers who are not currently using EODS is through the
Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development
Advisory Board activities .
While the PIC and the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce are
actively marketing EODS to the potential and existing
employers in Weld County, EODS will be identifying the
applicants who are unemployed and welfare dependent that can
best meet the employer's needs.
EODS will work with the prospective expanding employer and
the employer experiencing turnover in order to identify his
personnel needs. Those needs will be translated into a job
order being placed and EODS will accept the application for
employment.
EODS will examine the bank of employees who are on the JTPA
program and identify their training needs. The employer
will be offered the opportunity to have training customized
to meet the demands that are placed on the available
position openings. It is anticipated that the Welfare
Diversion or recipient client will be able to step into the
training slots. Filling the openings with welfare clients
directly impacts the welfare caseload in Weld County i .e. it
decreases. The customized training will assist in the
education of the employer to become attuned to the welfare
client and the problems they are experiencing. The employer
can afford to give the special attention because his costs
are being defrayed.
All applicants who are referred to the employer will have
been evaluated for their ability to meet eligibility
requirements for JTPA and Targeted Jobs Tax Credit (TJTC).
Now the employer will be capable of selecting a qualified
individual who has proven his worker dependability and
" reliability through the JTPA program and/or reap the
benefits of TJTC. This does not limit the employer to only
being able to select from program eligible individuals ,
rather it tends to offer the employer the opportunity, if
they so desire, to contain expansion and turnover costs even
farther.
In addition to the welfare caseload that will be marketed to
the employer, the automated job match system available to
EODS will enable a file search to be done. This file search
will identify all applicants (that meet the employer
requirements) who come into the EODS to specifically apply
for the position opening, as well as all applicants who have
been seeking similar positions in the last six (6) months.
Suddenly, the employer is capable of selecting qualified
individuals from a large base of potential employees.
The private sector employer will be afforded the
opportunity, by working closely with EODS, to concentrate on
hiring individuals who will assist in improving his
production levels as opposed to staffing a personnel
department which could raise his overhead. EODS will
provide the personnel services needed to fill positions,
however, the employer remains in full control with regard to
hiring and terminating employees. This particular
arrangement has been successfully implemented with several
new employers in the Weld County area and should transition
smoothly for existing employers.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will market these
services directly to employers who are expanding or
experiencing turnover. There will also be marketing done
indirectly through the many committees and councils that are
served by the Chamber of Commerce. Councils such as the
Manufacturing Council , Retail Council , Agricultural Council ,
etc. will be recipients of the indirect marketing.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce will also continue
coordinating the suppliers of local labor market
information. The group is currently developing a common
intake survey instrument. This instrument will be used to
further strengthen the Employer Information System (EIS).
The information will be maintained in a central location and
wiil be accessible to private and public users of such
information. Centralizing the data and maintaining its
timeliness and accuracy is a direct outgrowth of requests
from current Weld County employers to minimize the number of
individuals contacting their firm to request the same
information over and over again. Potential new employers in
the area will also benefit because there will be timely and
meaningful data regarding Weld County's economic and
business base available.
To continue providing employers services that will enhance
their personnel systems or provide information to those
'employers who do not have a personnel system, a series of
seminars and conferences will be presented by the Greeley
Area Chamber of Commerce. The sessions will deal with
valuable insights into the laws surrounding Worker's
Compensation, Unemployment Insurance, hiring and firing
procedures, etc. The intent is to upgrade employer' s
awareness and skills as an effective manager of personnel .
For those employers who cannot attend the seminars and
conferences, the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce with the
assistance from the Weld Economic Development Council will
make personal contact and provide the information to the
employer.
The Weld Economic Development Council is comprised of
representatives from all the Chamber of Commerces located in
the numerous municipalities and towns within Weld County.
The council will continue to complete their inventory of
employer needs for their respective areas. They will assess
the availability of and need for additional services as it
relates to their area. In the past, the council has been
successful in attracting new employers into the Weld County
area who would not have located their companies in Greeley.
All dollars for customized training packages will be
supplied by JTPA. This economic development package will
make it possible for more clients to be served by JTPA and
the Job Service of Colorado. It will enable the welfare
caseload to be reduced and job placements for the Job
Service of Colorado to go up in the Greeley EODS office.
All clients enrolled in JTPA and the Job Service of Colorado
activities will benefit from this project.
In order to accomplish the goals and objectives of this
project, a time frame of February 16, 1985 through June 30,
1986 has been established.
V. Evaluation and Effectiveness:
A. Planned Procedures:
A special Management Information System (MIS) will be
developed to monitor the success rate of this program.
The MIS will receive reports from the Greeley Area
Chamber of Commerce and integrate the activities of the
Chamber against the production levels of all EODS
programs.
Specific areas that will be monitored include :
1. Development of the marketing package and
disbursement to local employers.
2. Development and utilization of expanded Labor Market
Information.
3. Identification of employers using the customized
training packages that will be developed.
4. Job placement of welfare recipients and Welfare
Diversion Client and the impact on the current
annual average caseload size.
5. The number of employers presented with the cost
containing personnel system serviced by the SDA and
the number utilizing the system.
6. The number of employers adhering to the Governor's
Colorado First and Summer Job Hunt for Youth
programs and the outcomes of each.
7. The number of job orders and individuals placed via
the Colorado Job Service in Greeley versus prior
year experience levels in those categories.
B. Frequency of Reviews:
All data will be collected on a monthly basis by the
SDA's MIS and will be tabulated for distribution on a
quarterly basis to the Weld County PIC and the Governors
Job Training Office (GJTO) . The reports to the
Governor's Job Training office will meet the required
specification as agreed to by the SDA and the GJTO.
C. Program Impact:
As identified in the Goals and Objectives (Section III)
the project will attempt to do the following:
1. A marketing program that addresses unemployment and
welfare dependency in Weld County Will be developed.
2. Needed LMI will be developed and utilized by both
the private sector and public sector for planning
and decision making.
3. New and existing employers will use custom designed
training packages of the SDA.
4. Welfare dependency will be reduced in Weld County by
1% each month from start to end of this project.
5. The EODS marketing program included in all economic
development attempts of the Greeley Area Chamber of
Commerce will result in EODS placing clients in
turnover positions.
6. Employers will utilize the personnel systems made
available by the SDA to contain their costs and
ensure compliance with regulations established for
employer's to follow.
7. The Colorado First and Summer Job Hunt for Youth
will experience increased support and hiring due to
local commitment.
8. The Greeley SODS Job Service Office will increase
the number of job orders received and individuals
placed when compared with prior years experience
levels in those categories.
D. Entered Employment Rate/Wage at Placement
It is anticipated that the overall Job Service placement
rate will be increased by 5 % due to the effectiveness
of this program.
The SDA has set as its goal for wage at placement to be
$4.46 per hour.
E. Continuation of Program Activities
Clearly the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce's
commitment to match this proposal 's funding level
request on a three to one basis is indicative of the
intent of the private sector to continue similar program
activities long after this project is completed.
It is also in the best interest of the EODS program to
remain committed to the continuation of these activities
in order to remain responsive to the local employers in
order to garner future job openings for all the various
client groups they serve.
VI. Administrative Capability:
A. Staff Qualifications:
There will be no Human Resources staff funded under this
proposal . This is strictly a purchase of services

However, various existing staff from the Weld County
Division of Human Resources will be contributing
"in-kind" to help carry out the goals and objectives of
this project (see item C below).
B. Description of Personnel System:
The Division of Human Resources is part of the Weld
County Personnel System. The Personnel Policies and
Procedures are administered in accordance with Equal
Opportunity laws, the Revised Merit System Standards ,
and the Weld County Home Rule Charter. The personnel
• system has been certified under the Merit System of
Personnel Administration from the Office of Personnel
Management.
C. Use of Existing Resources:
The Weld County Division of Human Resources EODS staff
will contribute administrative time and overhead needed
to coordinate the purchase of services agreement with
the Greeley Area Chamber of Cormerce. This will
include, but not necessarily be limited to, the

D. Organizational Chart:
The SDA is the administrative entity and as such, the
organizational chart of the Weld County Division of
Human Resources is attached (see Attachment A).
VII. Budget Narrative:
A. Description of Financial Management System:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Division of
Human Resources for EGOS conforms to the generally
accepted accounting principles as set by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the
National Council on Governmental Accounting.
The Division of Human Resources has a fiscal unit which
works in conjunction with Weld County Government's
Central Accounting Department. The Division of Human
Resources is designated as a separate fund within Weld
County Government's computerized accounting system. A
grant accounting system has been implemented for the
Division of Human Resources which allows each revenue
source to be recorded as a self-balancing department.
All financial data is entered into the computer system
at the county level and a monthly general ledger is
generated.
Initial paper work for disbursements relating to the
Division of Human Resources is handled by its fiscal
unit. After approval by the Executive Director of Human
Resources and the Fiscal Officer, the information is
sent to Central Accounting for processing of warrants.
The Board of County Commissioners approve warrants at
the county level in public meetings.
All monies received by the Division of Human Resources
are deposited with the Weld County Treasurer's Office.
An "Attachment P" audit is performed on a calendar year
basis. The Division of Human Resources , as part of Weld
County Government, compiles with provisions of 41 CFR

IX.. Sub-Contracting:
There will be no sub-contractors. This is a purchase of
services agreement.
X. Demonstrated Effectiveness:
A. Employment and Training Systems:
In 1978, the Weld County Division of Human Resources
responded to the Colorado Partnership by drawing
together the existing employment and training programs
under one administrative structure. The employment and
training programs in existence at that time were:
1. Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA)
2. Colorado Job Service
3. WIN
4. Employment Opportunities Pilot Project
These programs were all brought under the administrative
entity of the Weld County Commissioners and services
were delivered by the Weld County Division of Human
Resources. The programs were entitled the Employment
Opportunities Delivery System (EODS).
Currently, EODS is made up of the following programs:
1. Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA-Weld County
SDA)
2. Colorado Job Service
3. Welfare Diversion Program
4. Community Work Experience Program (CWEP)
Since inception, the EODS program has proven to be cost
efficient and capable of meeting the goals established
by the federal and state governments for employment and
training programs (as referenced in Section I and
4 Section II , items G and H). The SDA has sufficiently
proven itself capable of having significant and positive
impact on employment and training programs.
B. State and Local Agencies:
As stated in item A (above) , the SDA has had significant
and positive impact on state and local agencies
delivering employment and training services.
Perhaps one of the largest agencies impacted by EODS and
the programs offered is the Weld County Department of
Social Services. For several years, the Welfare
Diversion Program has directly involved Social Services
staff and clientele in the effort to reduce welfare
dependency in Weld County.
These efforts have been successful . Attachment B is
a compilation of newspaper articles and television/radio
coverage from around the nation, all agreeing, Weld
County EODS and Social Services are having an impact on
welfare in Weld County. In Section II , items G and H,
the success of the Welfare Diversion Program is again
proven.
Another area of impact is the joint employer relation
efforts by the numerous state and local agencies who
conduct job development and job solicitation in Weld
County. The job developers network has been successful
in ensuring the clients from all state and local
agencies who require specialized employment and training
services have their needs addressed . In addition , all
job development and job solicitation efforts are
coordinated
with EODS. Through this mechanism, employers are not
constantly being besieged by a number of different
agencies for jobs for their specific clients.
The Weld County Division of Human Resources is a human
service agency which receives the majority of funding
from grants by the federal and state governments. As an
umbrella agency, Human Resources is a coordinated
service delivery system which focuses its programs on
the family. There are three major divisions of
programs: EODS, Senior Services and Children Services.
The organization chart (see Attachment A) graphically
displays how these services come together under one
administrative structure.
The EODS program has been explained previously in this
proposal , however, in order to understand the full
impact that is being made in Weld County by Human
Resources, a detailed account of the other programs
(which are funded by other federal , state or local
monies) is listed below:
1. Senior Services:
Senior Services is comprised of various programs
targeted to assist senior citizens. In 1980, the
Area Agency on Aging came under the auspices of the
County. The major advantages were: increase
accessibility of programs to seniors , local
participation in the operation of the programs, and
better accountability.
a. Area Agency on Aging:
The Area Agency on Aging provides a comprehen-
sive system of services to the seniors in Weld
County. Services include rural transportation,
outreach, home health care, peer counseling,
legal services, adult day care, congregate and
home delivered meals. In 1983 there were 2,055
individuals which received 42,117 units of
service. This does not include those
participating in the Senior Nutrition Program.
Three communities; Johnstown, Grover, and Nunn
received funding for the renovation of buildings
to be used as community senior centers. The
Area Agency on Aging is involved in advocacy for
the seniors which includes resource development,
generation of resources, and alternatives to
nursing home care. A new program has been added
called Seniors Serving Industry. The Seniors
Serving Industry Program assists seniors obtain
employment.
b. Senior Nutrition:
Senior Nutrition provides senior citizens, age
60 and over, with nutritionally sound meals and
related supportive services at 20 rural sites
and 8 Greeley sites. The meals are available at
each site on different days of the week. In
addition, recreation, social , and educational
activities are provided at the meal sites. In
1983, there were 62,507 meals served to over
2000 seniors.
c. Senior Aide Program:
In 1978, the Senior Aide Program was one of
twelve special progr=ess honored nationally for
its design and approach for serving rural senior
citizens. The major purpose of the Senior Aide
Program is to provide a network through which
information and referral sources are made
available to senior citizens living in rural
Weld County.
The Senior Aide Program has 17 rural senior aide
stations with over 653 registered volunteers.
Each station has a senior coordinator, who has
volunteers providinc transportation for seniors
to doctor appointments, recreational facilities,
senior nutrition sites , and other important
activities. The volunteers also provide
outreach service contacts in housing, financial
assistance, nutrition education, community
services etc. In 1933 there were 127,905
volunteer hours and 454,084 volunteer contacts
made for rural seniors.
The Human Resources Senior Aide Director meets
monthly with the coordinators to advise them on
how to use services a end develop resources in
their communities.
d. Weatherization Proor=i:
The Weatherization Program provides, free of
charge to low income home owners and renters,
weatherization activities which can include
insulation , weathers:ripping, storm windows,
mobile home skirting, etc. There are three
funding sources which provide weatherization
activities to Weld County residents: Department
of Energy; Low-Inccre Energy Assistance Program;
and Low Cost/No Cost Program which provides
caulking, weatherstripping, hot water tank
blankets, etc. , up to 5100.00.
An Intergovernmental Agreement is entered into
with Larimer County for coordination of the
weatherization services.
e. Transportation Program:
The Mini-Bus Transportation Program provides
transportation services for handicapped,
low-income and elderly people throughout Weld
County. Transportation is provided in many
rural towns for senior citizens who need to
do necessary shopping, seek medical treatment,
and use social service agencies. In 1983 there
were 43,620 units of transportation provided.
2. Children Services:
a. Head Start Program:
The Head Start Program provides comprehensive
services to 275 low-income four year old
children in areas of health, nutrition,
education, parent involvement, social services
and special needs. All children enrolled
receive breakfast, lunch, and/or a snack while
attending classroom activities. A special needs
component assists handicapped children in the
Head Start Program and in transitioning into the
public school system.
In 1983, the Head Start Program completed a
training manual which was distributed to Head
Start Programs throughout Colorado and the
surrounding states cn how to transition Head
Start handicapped children into the public
school system.
b. Commodity Supplemental Foods Program:
The Commodity Supple ental Foods Program
provides commodity foods and nutrition education
to low-income, postpartum and breastfeeding
women and children through the age of five.
Types of food provided include: fruits , juices,
meat, potatoes, vegetables , milk, infant
formula, farina and cried eggs. In 1983 there
were 32,446 individuals served.
C. Private Sector:
Working with the private sector has been a success
for EODS. As a Job Service and JTPA office,
employers are contacted daily for the purpose of
placing the client in their job openings. The
rapport between the employer and EODS is excellent.
The Weld County PIC has been instrumental in reviewing
the results of the Economic Development Plan. EODS,
through the Chamber of Conrerce and the Economic
Development Advisory Board have been able to share
information and thus EODS has been able to achieve
tangible results in working with new and existing
employers in Weld County.
The Weld County PIC also pronoted and impacted the Joint
Employer Relations Plan. A major focus of the plan was
to expand job orders and marketing activities with all
employers, especially in the development of flexible and
responsive hiring arrangements for the employer. The
involvement of the PIC enabled EGOS to provide employers
with additional options or reans of employing tradition-
ally hard-to-employ population groups.
Xl . Coordination:
A. Coordination Efforts:
The coordination agreement with Social Services helped
streamline services to the public assistance population.
While the coordination of services occurred prior to the
agreement, the coordination agreement helped to
formulate processes through a written understanding.
The objective of the agreement with the Department of
Social Services was to address broad areas of coordina-
tion for employment and training activities for Social
Services clientele in areas of referral , case
management, and supportive services. The specific
program areas were the Welfare Diversion Program, the
Community Work Experience Pr-tcren, and the youth
programs.
This agreement has proven to be effective and the goals
and objectives were met. A Welfare Diversion Policies
and Procedures manual was developed and is used by both
EODS and Social Services staff. A staff person was
designated by Social Services to work in the development
of the youth programs.
The objectives of the agreement with Aims Community
College were to coordinate efforts in identifying high
demand occupation for the develcoment of training
programs , develop training programs for adults in a fact
track mode, coordinate planning efforts to develop
additional vocational education type of services,
increase the utilization of monies available for voca-
tional education and coordinate planning efforts to
implement the Summer Youth Program and the Governor's
Summer Youth Job Hunt.
Aims has assisted in the development of the youth and
adult programs. Planning is on-going for the Summer
Youth Programs. Aims is coordinating with the PIC
effort in reviewing the Employer Information System.
Aims is an active participant in the Joint Employer
Relation Plan.
The objective of the agreement with School District 6
was to coordinate employment and training activities for
youth in the areas of referrals, counseling, and
services.
School District 6 assisted in the development of the
youth programs (both JTPA and the Governor's Summer
Youth Job Hunt Program), design of the youth compe-
tencies, and the identification of eligible Governor' s
Summer Youth Job Hunt youth.
Agencies which provide services to JTPA clients include
United Way agencies , Mental Health,and Probation Depart-
ment for youth and adults. These agencies provide such
services as counseling, emergency assistance, and other
supportive services. Consultation with these agencies
occurs in a variety of ways. A number of the service
agencies sit on the overall Human Resources Committee
and provide input and solutions in providing
coordinated supportive services to the low-income.
Direct coordination occurs when line staff participates
in coordinated outreach and networking with the various
agencies.
EODS actively participates in weekly Migrant
Outreach/Coordination meetings and monthly Migrant
Agency service coordination. These meeting generate
interagency planning for JTPA and non-JTPA services.
The PIC Youth Task Force established school district and
youth serving agency input to develop youth program
options within Job Service, JTPA and non-JTPA
activities.
The PIC initiated Seniors Serving Industry Program
formulated innovative system design between EODS and the
Area Agency on Aging.
An agreement with Rocky Mountain SER outlines
coordination and service areas with EODS to eliminate
duplication and to streamline efforts for migrant
workers.
Aims Community College staff are providing employment
counseling to JTPA and non-JTPA participants. Aims
Comunity College staff have been trained as Job Service
Counselors, certified by the State.
Coordination has always occurred between the JTPA
services and Job Service due to the location of the
programs under the single administration of EODS.
Naturally, all of the Human Resources programs cited in
Section X, item B, coordinate closely. This also is
due to the location of the programs under the single
administration of EODS.
Networking, coordination, and community input has proven
to be successful . The goal is to continue streamlined
efforts and reduce duplication of services.
The PIC remains actively involved in providing
direction, guidance and their expertise in modifying,
monitoring and developing new directions for EODS.

I. Abstract:
The Weld County Division of Human Resources is a multi-purpose
department which has been delegated the authority of
administering human service programs for the Weld County Board of
Commissioners. The principal goal of Human Resources is to
provide comprehensive services to the entire age spectrum of
clients in a coordinated and efficient manner.
Since 1974, Human Resources has grown from a small department of
three (3) human service programs to over ten (10) major programs
with multi-funding sources. Through the growth and development
of these programs , Human Resources has had the opportunity to
provide leadership in many areas. Some of these include: 504
Handicapped Accessibility Compliance, Welfare Diversion Program,
Medigap Disclosure Form, Hispanic Initiative, Seniors Serving
Industry Program, and a rural Senior Aide Program.
In the specific area of employment, Human Resources administered
the CETA Program and currently has administrative responsibility
for a comprehensive employment program called EODS or Employment
Opportunities Delivery System. EODS includes the Job Service,
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) , Welfare Diversion Program,
and Community Work Experience Program (CWEP). As such , the
agency has had extensive experience delivering employment
services to veterans , migrant workers, youth , displaced
homemakers, welfare recipients , senior citizens; economically
disadvantaged, etc.
Planning for strategies do meet the specific employment needs of
older workers. In 1982 the Area Agency on Aging, a department of
Human Resources, adopted "employment for seniors" as one of its
major goals for a three year plan.
Private sector involvement and cooperation with EODS has been
central to the development of this strategy. The result was a
specifically identifiable older worker program called Seniors
Serving Industry.
This program has performed well in the initial year of its
inception by placing 55 Weld County seniors in jobs.
Nevertheless, the nee3—for even greater success is apparent
due to the increasing number of older workers needing jobs.
To this end, the goals and objectives of this proposal can be
summarized in the follcwing:
. Increase community awareness of the Seniors Serving Industry
Program through the use of the Speakers Bureau made up of
qualified and trained local seniors.
. Establish a data base of information on Weld County employers
through a purchase of service agreement for employer survey
capacities through the Greeley Chamber of Commerce.
. Increase the employability of 55 to 62 year old workers
through skill enhancement training and Job Club activities
provided by Aims Community College and the SDA.
The outcomes of the activities specified under this proposal will
be:
. Increased number of private sector employers committed to
hiring older workers increased by aen (10).
. Increased older worker job placements. Increase success rate
from the current 27% to 50%.
. Increase number of older worker applicants by 50% from an
average 163 in one year to 245 per year.
We believe that with the resources to provide industry responsive
training to a specific group of difficult to employ seniors
between the ages of 55 and 62 and to have the capability of
strengthening our communication linka:es with the private
employer through better marketing practices; we will be able
to greatly enhance the effectiveness of our Seniors Serving
Industry Program.
II. Staterent of Need:
A. Identification of the Problem:
American society-and America's work force-are growing older.
Today, more than 20 percent of the U.S. population is aged 55
and older, compared with less than 10 percent at the
beginning of this century.
This trend is expected to peak dramatically within the next
several decades. By the year 2010, 25 percent of our
population is projected to be at least 55 years old. A
special U.S. Census Bureau report issued in September 1983
warns: "In less than 30 years, an aging society will be upon
us, whether we have prepared for it or not. "
Our effectiveness in meeting the reeds of older citizens will
help determine the quality of life for all Americans.
A special report of the National Commission for Manpower
Policy entitled "The Utilization of the Older Worker"
describes reasons why the role of the older worker is likely
to be reassessed in the years ahead. These include changing
attitudes toward aging, health and self realization , passage
of the federal and state Anti-Age Discrimination Act, public
discussion on increasing the eligibility age under Social
Security from 65 to 68, and inflationary pressures.
B. Analysis of the Need:
A summary of 1980 labor force census characteristics (see
following) show that 8,587 females and 4,938 males 55+ in
Weld County are either classified as unemployed or not in the
labor force. Of the total unemployed and not in the labor
force (13,525) , 33% or 4,463 are officially classified as
needing employment.
A July 1, 1984 tabulation of the number of 55 and over
registered with the Seniors Serving Industry Program showed
that 163 individuals 55 and over had registered for
employment services. This means that only 3.6 % or 163 out
of a possible 4,463 are registered with the Senior Serving
Industry Program. These figures indicate that there is a
great need to promote and expand our Seniors Serving Industry
Program.

Force
An analysis of the client records that are available from the
Division of Human Resources Older Worker Program, called
Seniors Serving Industry, shows that older worker applicants
generally fall into the following categories:
1. Older workers , generally WOME7, who have suddenly found
themselves in an economic crisis due to loss of a spouse.
These women or displaced homemakers generally have few
marketable skills.
2. Older workers, generally retired men, whose work
experience has been with jobs demanding hard physical
labor and who are not able to continue working at
strenuous jobs for health reasons.
3. Older workers , mainly women, who know the basics of a
profession or trade, but are difficult to place due to
outdated job skills.
4. Older workers between the ages of 55-60, who have been
laid-off due to current economic conditions , have no
retirement benefits and reed full-time work as quickly as
possible.
5. Older workers who, because of working at a series of many
low paying, unskilled jobs mcst of their adult life, need
extensive counseling and retraining.
All of the above have one thing in common, their age
category. Because of their age they are experiencing subtle
and not so subtle discrimination due to societal attitudes
regarding older workers.
C. Intended Population:
For the purposes of this proposal , all older workers 55 years
and older will be targeted, with special emphasis given to
the 55 to 62 year old category. Social Security is generally
net available to individuals before 62 years , except for
widows who may apply at the age of 60 years against a spouses
earnings. Another reason for tarceting this age group is
that these individuals are at risk of severely jeopardizing
their future retirement income if they cannot get back into
the work force. Also to be considered is the loss of this
resource to society of individuals who still have much to
offer.
D. Local Resident Population Potentially Eligible For Program
Services:
All unemployed and economically disadvantaged individuals who
are 55 years of age or older are potentially eligible to
receive services under this program. As pointed out in
Section B, this could constitute as many as 13,525
individuals being deemed eligible.
E. Identify Grant Recipient:
The Weld County Commissioners will be the grant recipient and
the Division of Human Resources , which is also the Service
Delivery Area (SDA) and the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) , will
administer the proposed program. The principal goal of Human
Resources is to provide comprehensive services to the entire
age spectrum of clients in coordinated and efficient manner.
F. Geographic Area to be Served:
Human Resources serves the geographical area of Weld County
which is 4,004 square miles and is located in north central
Colorado.
There are 28 incorporated towns in Weld County. The county
seat and principle city, Greeley, is located in the west
central part of the county and contains almost half the
county' s population. Generally, most of the remaining
population resides within a 20 to 30 mile radius of Greeley;
the northeastern part of the county being sparsely populated.
Although the production of agriculture products is heavy in
Weld County, the economy has diversified to include expansion
of light industry, and gas and oil exploration. The most
important resource, however, is still the land. It has
allowed the farmers and ranchers of the county to be ranked
ninth (9th) in the United States in crop and livestock
production.
The size, distribution, and characteristics of population,
along with the growth trends, are fundamental factors in
planning the county's future. These factors greatly
influence the amount, location, and the significant features
associated with growth. The western boundary of Weld County
is only five (5) to ten (10 ) miles from the foothills of the
Rockies. Its southern boundary is approximately fifteen (15)
miles from metropolitan Denver. This proximity to the
mountains and Denver is very convenient for Weld County
residents, but is also greatly responsible for a rapid
population influx in recent years.
G. Employment Opportunities for Targeted Population:
The Seniors Serving Industry Program of Human Resources is
the first and only existing effort that has ever been made to
address the employment needs of older workers in Weld County.
H. Previous Attempts to Address Older Worker Employment Problem:
Given the umbrella structure of the Division of Human
Resources, with the unusual and unique single administration
of all employment programs and the Area Agency on Aging (AAA)
senior programs, it was natural for EODS and the AAA to begin
to develop cooperative arrangements for the delivery of
employment opportunities for older workers.
The AAA took the lead in 1980 while developing a three (3)
year operational plan by adopting as its second major goal
the concern of employment for older workers.
In establishing this goal , the AAA hoped to focus on the
resources that older workers have to offer the community
while at the same time helping seniors meet some of their
serious growing economic needs.
Subsequently, the AAA staff began working with the EODS staff
to look at ways that resources from each of these programs
could be pooled to develop an identifiable employment program
for older workers. The result was the establishment of an
older worker program now called the Seniors Serving Industry
Program in January, 1984.
Both the Private Industry Council and the AAA Advisory Board
were actively involved in initiating and establishing
guidelines for the Seniors Serving Industry Program. These
councils have equal advisory status to the Weld County
Comissioners and are served mutually by Human Resources
staff, from the Aging and Employment divisions respectively.
The opportunity for coordination on employment needs of
senior citizens has been a unique, but extremely beneficial
and productive result of the AAA and EODS being administered
through one administrative unit. A special Older Worker Task
Force was appointed by the Chairmen of the PIC which was
cocprised of the following representatives:
. District #2 - County Commissioner (PIC)
. Chairman - AAA Advisory Board
. Personnel Director - North Colorado Medical Center (PIC)
. Regional Director - Social Security Office
. Personnel Director - Hewlett Packard Corporation (PIC)
. President/Manager - Northern Colorado Construction
Company (PIC)
. Marketing Director - United Bank of Greeley
. Director - Weld County Community Center Foundation (PIC)
. Vice President - Home Light and Power Company (PIC)
. Executive Director - Greeley _owntown Redevelopment
Corporation (PIC)
. Executive Director - United Way of Weld County (JTCC)
Principal planning activities of this task force included:
. An assessment of need for an Older Worker Program.
. Identification of the population to be served.
. Establishment and approval of a flow chart for client
intake, counseling, and job placement.
. Approval of a marketing package.
. Agreement on the official name of the program.
. Development of a plan for payroll services to employers
with subsequent non-financial agreement with a private
employment agency for such service.
. Approval and designation of the AAA Board to act as the
official monitoring body for the program.
Throughout the planning process the PIC, AAA, and other
cc-rrunity representatives demonstrated keen interest and
dedication in developing a viable Older Worker Program for
Weld County. The contribution of tire and creative ideas
from the community has been invaluable to the initial success
of the Seniors Serving Industry Program. Since the official
inception of the program in January, 1984, the following
activity has been completed:
There have been 163 applications received from individuals 50
years of age or older. There were 194 referrals to job
openings made during this time period. This translates to
100% of the individuals applying for the program were
referred and in some cases referred to more than one position
opening. Of the 194 referrals, ES individuals or 27% were
successful in obtaining employment.
III. Goals and Objectives:
A. Define Goals and Objectives of Project:
The SDA and AAA are seeking funding from JTPA Older Worker
Discretionary Funding in order to promote employment
opportunities for older workers. We believe older workers
are entitled to as much financial independence and
satisfaction from meaningful work as any other person.
We realize also, that with increased employment opportunities
for the older worker we may be able to ease the pressure on
federal , state, and community assistance programs that
normally are needed when individuals are facing an economic
crisis. Specifically, this means diverting individuals from
welfare dependency by providing he training that will allow
older workers to be productive at least until retirement age
and longer if they so desire. To that end, the following
goals and objectives are stated to guide the Seniors Serving
Industry Program and the propose° project: under this
application:
Goal #1
Increase awareness of the Seniors Ser/ing Industry Program
with the community at large and private sector employers.
Objectives
. To support the activities of a ftur (4) member Speakers
Bureau trained to present the Seniors Serving Industry
Program to agencies , and community and employer groups.
Goal =2
Establish a data base of information on Weld County employers
favorable to hiring older workers and favorable to part-time,
flex-time, and job sharing arraneenents for older workers.
Objectives
. To enter into a Purchase of Services Agreement with the
Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce who will include older
worker concerns as part of a future employer survey.
Goal #3
Increase the employability of the targeted 55 to 62 age group
through employment and training programs.
Objectives
. To provide training to older workers between the ages of 55
and 62 by establishing a Secretarial Skills Enhancement
Training Program in conjunction with Aims Community College
and the SDA.
. To provide training to older workers between the ages of 55
and 62 by establishing a Security Guard Training Program in
conjunction with the SDA.
• To conduct a monthly Job Club for older workers in
coordination with the EODS comprehensive Job Club Program.
B. Relationship of Activities to States Priorities:
This proposal links with the states priorities in the
following ways by:
. Addressing economic development through a cooperative
arrangement with the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce to
generate data on local employers thereby helping us to be
more effective in meeting both employer and client needs.
. Addressing Industry Responsive Training by designing and
implementing customized training programs to meet the
demands of local employers.
. Reducing welfare recipients by increasing our ability to
place economically disadvantaged 55 to 62 year olds in
private sector jobs.
. Providing supportive services through a Job Club Program
especially designed for older worker needs and concerns.
. Improving the quality of life for older workers through
improving community awareness and understanding of older
worker employment needs.
IV. Methodology:
To carry out the goals and objectives of this proposal the
following methodologies will be used:
Goal #1
Increase awareness of the Seniors Serving Industry Program with
the community at large and private sector employers.
Methodology:
A Speakers Bureau will be formed comprised of four Weld County
Senior Citizens. The purpose of the Speakers Bureau will be to
make presentations to a variety of community groups, service
organizations, provider agencies and special employer groups.
These seniors will be adept at speaking to groups and will be
committed to the goals of increasing job opportunities for older
workers.
The AAA and the PIC believe that it is a good marketing strategy
to utilize the talents of older workers to see the program with
local employers. What better example to the employers and the
community at large than to witness first hand the talents of
seniors.
The AAA will make it known to a large circle of community groups
that 'the Speakers Bureau is available to them for programs.
Scheduling will be handled through the AAA.
The speakers will receive training from both the AAA and EODS
staff to insure that there is a common understanding of the
Seniors Serving Industry Program specifically, and the SODS
program in general .
Speakers will be required to keep accurate time sheets which will
provide information to Human Resources on number of hours spent
in speaking engagements per month, names of groups soliciting the
program, and numbers of individuals hearing the presentation. A
Seniors Serving Industry brochure will be distributed at each
session. Speakers will be reimbursed at a rate of $4.00 per
hour.
This project will begin immediately and will continue monthly
until as many groups in the community have been informed as
possible.
Goal #2
Establish a data base of information on Weld County employers
favorable to hiring older workers and favorable to part-time,
flex-time, and job sharing arrangements of older workers.
Methodology:
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce is presently designing an
employer survey for the purpose of obtaining a variety of data
that will be useful to the Chamber. Human Resources has made an
initial contact with the Chamber to see how the survey could be
expanded to assist the Seniors Serving Industry Program. Human
Resources will follow up with the Chamber to establish a purchase
of services agreement that will spell out the terms and
conditions for entering into a cooperative endeavor for the
purpose of generating employer-specific information.
This data base will help the Seniors Serving Industry Program to
identify employers favorable to hiring older workers , identify
barriers both real and perceived that employers have to hiring
older workers, and identify possibilities for promotion of
flex-time and job sharing opportunities.
Goal #3
Increase the employability of the targeted 55 to 62 age group,
through employment and training programs.
Methodology:
First, a monthly Job Club will be initiated. The Job Club will
be available to any older worker registered with the Seniors
Serving Industry Program. However, older workers who need more
support and training in how to job search .will be particularly
encouraged to join.
The Job Club sessions will be conducted at Human Resources by
a Seniors Serving Industry Intake Counselor, who has approximately
14 years of counseling experience and is herself an older worker.
Second, an Industry Responsive Training Program will be initiated
for twelve (12) qualified and eligible older workers. This
training will be customized to the employer and the older worker.
Training will be offered in the areas of secretarial and security
guard. Individuals who can benefit from additional vocational
training will be enrolled at Aims Community College for the
purpose of brushing up on their existing skills.
A very unique service to all Job Service clients will be provided
by the individuals participating in the secretarial training
area. Specifically, the SSI participants will modernize their
outdated job skills by providing certain secretarial services to
Job Service clients for the purpose of employment.
An example of how the SSI Program participants can assist Job
Service clients is in the area of typing resumes and letters of
introduction for the Job Service client. The Job Finding Clubs
for Unemployment Insurance have revealed that the vast majority
of Job Service clients need a good typewriter and typing skills
in order to create their resume. Because they do not have the
equipment or typing skills , they are not capable of competing
against other job applicants. This training area will coordinate
JTPA and Job Service at the ultimate level , i .e. , the clients for
both programs will benefit by helping each other become
employable.
V. Evaluation and Effectiveness:
A. Procedures to Measure the Achievement of Project Outcomes:
Currently the Seniors Serving Industry Program is monitored
by both the AAA Advisory Board and the PIC subcommittee
originally involved in setting up the marketing strategy for
the program.
A monthly program report is generated by the Area Agency on
Aging which shows activity levels in the following areas:
Number of Applicants
Male
Female
Age categories
Number of Referrals
Full time
Part time
Temporary
Spot jobs
Numbers Hired
Full time
Part time
Temporary
Spot jobs
Marketing Activities
News Media
Speakers Bureau
Other
To complete the monitoring of the objectives under this
proposal , training activities will be added to the Program
Report.
It will be the goal of the Seniors Serving Industry Program
to maintain a (70%) referral rate and increase job placement
rate from the current 27% rate to 50%.
B. Frequency of Evaluation:
Program Performance Reports on the progress of the Seniors
Serving Industry Program will be tabulated on a monthly basis
and will be submitted in a quarterly format as specified by
the SDA. It should be noted that in the planning stages of
the Seniors Serving Industry Program it was established that
the Weld County PIC and the Weld County AAA Advisory Board
would both receive quarterly status reports on the Senior
Serving Industry Program. Thus, both committees continue to
have and will continue to share monitoring and evaluation
oversight of this program.
C. Program Impact and;
D. Employment Rate/Wane at Placement:
It is anticipated that there will be a significant increase,
by as much as 20 to 25%, in the number of older workers
placed in either full-time or part-time jobs because of the
additional training and support made available from this
proposal .
Seniors Serving Industry workers as targeted in this proposal
will be placed at wages accordinc to the direction of the SDA
which is $4.46 per hour.
E. Continuation of Program Activities:
The Seniors Serving Industry Program has been an established
program with Human Resources for two years. The first year
the program was unnamed and was in an informal , experimental
phase. Since January 1984, the program has been operating
under the official name of Seniors Serving Industry. A
marketing program designed with the assistance of the PIC and
AAA Advisory Boards has enhanced the visibility of the
program.
Should this project demonstrate its effectiveness in
improving the employability of a portion of our older
workers , then the Area Agency on Aging will assist the EODS
staff in continuing the program by providing staff support.
Title III B Supportive Services dollars and private sector
dollars will also be sought to continue the training
activities of this program.
VI. Administrative Capability:
A. Staff Qualifications:
There will be no Human Resources staff funded under this
proposal . However, various existing staff will be
contributing "in-kind" support to help carry out the goals
and objectives of this project.
Part C (Existing Resources) of this section describes
specific staff that will be contributing to the project.
B. Description of Personnel System:
The Division of Human Resources is part of the Weld County
Personnel System. The Personnel Policies and Procedures are
administered in accordance with Equal Opportunity laws , the
Revised Merit System Standards , and the Weld County Home Rule
Charter. The personnel system has been certified under the
Merit System of Personnel Administration from the Office of
Personnel Management.
C. Use of Existing Resources:
A majority of the administrative time and overhead needed to
coordinate the additional public relations, research and
training activities for the Senior Serving Industry Program
will be an In-kind contribution fron the Division of Human
Resources or SDA. This will include, but not necessarily be
limited to, the following:
1. Portion of AAA Director tine for initiating,
coordinating, and overseeing the project.
2. Portion of EODS Director time for coordinating and
providing technical assistance to the AAA Director and
staff.
3. Portion of Fiscal Officer's tine for budget preparation
and fiscal oversight of the project.
4. Portion of Grants Management and MIS Officer time for
writing and processing the proposal and for monitoring
the project.
5. Portion of Executive Director tire for overall oversight
of the project.
6. Portion of office space and equiprent made available to
carry out the training and support aspects of the
proposal .
7. Complete access to the automated ECDS/MIS system for
client eligibility tracking and job match.
D. Organizational Chart:
As stated previously, all funds will be administered by the
SDA through a purchase of service agreement. Therefore, the
SDA is the administrative entity and as such, the
organizational chart of the Weld County Division of Human
Resources is attached (see Attach-,ent A).
VII. Budget Narrative:
A. Description of Financial Management System:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Division of
Human Resources for EODS and the =.A.A conform to generally
accepted accounting principles as set by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the National
Council on Governmental Accounting.
The Division of Human Resources has a fiscal unit which works
in conjunction with Weld County Government's Central
Accounting Department. The Division of Human Resources is
designated a separate fund within Weld County Government's
computerized accounting system. A grant accounting system
has been implemented for the Division of Human Resources
which allows each revenue source to be recorded as a
self-balancing department. All financial data is entered
into the computer system at the county level and a monthly
general ledger is generated.
Initial paper work for disbursements relating to the Division
of Human Resources is handled by its fiscal unit. After
approval by the Executive Director of Human Resources and the
Fiscal Officer, the information is sent to Central Accounting
for processing of warrants. The Board of County
Commissioners approve warrants at the county level ,.
All monies received by the Division of Human Resources are
deposited with the Weld County Treasurer's Office.
An "Attachment P" audit is performed on a calendar year
basis. The Division of Human Resources, as part of Weld
County Government, complies with provisions of 41 CFR
29-70.207.

X. Demonstrated Effectiveness
A. Employment and Training Systems:
Human Resources has a long history of demonstrated
effectiveness in employment and training programs
beginning with the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act
(C. E.T.A. ) , and continuing as one of 15 national Welfare
Demonstration Projects which is continued in its present
format as the Welfare Diversion Program. This program is
nationally recognized. The outgrowth of the Colorado - Local
Partnership in Human Services was the merging the Weld County
employment and training programs with the Colorado Job
Service, under one administrate structure. Subsequently, the
Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) replaced C. E.T.A. Giving
assistance to help clients overcome barriers to employment in
order to successfully enter the job rarket has been central
to Weld County employment programs.
Therefore, targeting services to older workers was a
natural outcome within our system. Because the AAA is
physically located and structurally part of Human
Resources and the employment programs , the Senior
Serving Industry Program has enjoyed an exceptional
cooperation and technical asssistance in developing and
maintaining older worker programs. By utilizing the
appropriate resources of the aging network and the
employment programs , the Area Agency on Aging has been
able to develop an older worker program that is
increasingly recognized and used by Weld County employers.
B. State and Local Agencies:
In addition, Human Resources has linkages with many state
agencies including the Department of Social Services which is
the principal funding source of the AAA, the Department of
Labor, the Department of Local Affairs, the Legislature and
the Governor's office.
C. Private Sector:
Since the inception of JTPA, Human Resources has worked
closely with the PIC who is now the advisory committee for
all employment and training programs in the Division. As a
result, the private sector has taken an active interest in
assisting Human Resources staff in improving private sector
opportunities for all our clients.
XI. Coordination:
A. Established Coordination Efforts:
The Weld County Area Agency on Aging is one of three major
program divisions within the Division of Human Resources
which is the SDA for Weld County. As such the AAA has
participated in numerous projects with the SDA, some which
have been model projects.
The Area Agency on Aging currently has formal purchase of
services agreements with the following agencies delivering
services to Weld County elderly:
1. Patient Advocacy Team
2. Rehabilitation and Visiting Nurses Association
3. Colorado Rural Legal Services
4. Catholic Cormunity Services Northern
5. Weld Mental Health Center
6. Eldergarden Day Care
7. Weld County Senior Nutrition
8. Meals on Wheels of Greeley
9. WELDCO' s Rural Senior Aide Program
10. North Colorado Medical Center
Non-Financial agreements and working arrangements exist with
the following agencies:
1. Retired Senior Volunteer Program
2. Aims College Senior Education Program
3. University of Northern Colorado
4. Greeley Senior Citizens Center
5. Rotary Club of Greeley
Because of these agreements and other community activities ,
the Area Agency on Aging is increasingly recognized in Weld
County as the focal point for advocacy, information and
referral , resource development, and coordination of programs
for the elderly.
In addition to the above services, the AAA and the SDA have
been instrumental in initiating and maintaining the Senior
Aide Program which provides a network of informational and
referral resources to senior citizens in rural areas usually
through small , renovated senior centers.
Senior Aide Coordinators and their some 550 volunteers are
located in 17 rural communities throughout the county. The
basic services provided by the Coordinators and their
volunteers include information and referral , outreach,
creation of new services, identification of needs , advocacy
for rural citizens, transportation, and recreation.
This program now is mostly supported by local town councils
and has become the recognized source for help for seniors in
rural communities throughout the county. The Senior Aide
Program has received national recognition on several
occasions as a program worthy of replication.
Recently Weld County became one of two counties in Colorado
to pass a licensure ordinance for Board & Care for the
elderly. The Weld AAA and SDA worked together with local
elected officials to write an ordinance that will protect
elderly residents in Board & Care Homes. Subsequently, the
Weld County AAA has been asked to provide technical
assistance to other Colorado counties on how to initiate a
Board and Care Ordinance.
The Weld County AAA took the lead in developing a statewide
Medigap Health Insurance Disclosure form that was adopted by
the Colorado State Insurance Conauission. Subsequently,
with the financial support of a small training grant and
volunteer instructors, 58 older Weld County citizens have
completed approximately 30 hours of training to be Volunteer
Health Insurance Consultants. These consultants will be
available at centers throughout Weld County to advise seniors
on health insurance concerns. This project is designed to be
the replicable statewide.
Other areas where the AAA and SDA working together have
assumed leadership roles in the community is with the Elder
Abuse Task Force , the Long Term Care Coordinating Committee,
504 Handicapped Compliance, United Way Budget & Allocation
Committee and Elderhostel Advisory Board.
B. Relationship of Proposal to SDA/PIC Local Plan:
If you will reference the Weld County Job Training Plan
beginning July 1, 1984 - June 30, 1986, you will note that
the objective on page 1 for 1984/1985 includes "the
continuation of the joint venture with the Area Agency on
Aging for the Senior Serving Industry Program and support for
economic development activities". This proposal therefore
fits perfectly with the SDA's plan.
As stated previously, the Division of Human Resources is the
SDA for Weld County as such is the recipient of all
employment and training monies for Weld County. Employment
services offered through the SDA include the Welfare
Diversion Program, Colorado Job Service, Job Training
Partnership Act and Community Work Experience Program.
Together these programs comprise the Economic Opportunity
Delivery System or EODS, one of three major programs offered
6/ Human Resources along with aging programs and family and
children programs.
The employment needs of older workers in Weld County has been
an initiative addressed by both the public and private
sector. Specifically, the Seniors Serving Industry Program
is an outgrowth of our planning that occurred both within the
Private Industry Council (PIC) and the Area Agency on Aging
Advisory Board.
C. Letters of Support:
See attached letters.
XII. Assurances and Certifications:
The parties to this proposal assure they will fully comply with
the requirements of the Job Training Partnership Act (P.L. 97-300) ,
all Federal regulations issued pursuant to the Act, all Colorado
State policies governing the program, and all items addressed in
the Assurances and Certification section (Attachment C) of the
Solicitation of Grant Application (SGA). Furthermore, the
parties to this proposal will abide by the specified Weld County
Assurances as addressed in the Weld County Private Industry
Council/Service Delivery Area Procedures to Solicit Funds

SCOPE OF WORK
I . Abstract
This project has as its goal to provide a workable vehicle to span certain
gaps in the Vocational Cooperative Work Experience Program of Weld County
School District Six, especially as it relates to the Coop-G program.
Objectives are to provide economic development activities for existing
employers through 1) local coordination linkages, 2) integration of service
and activities for existing employers, 3) limiting of marketing efforts to
small private sector employers, 4) coordination of services offered by
Weld County School District Six, Weld County Service Delivery Area (SDA) ,
Job Service of Colorado, and Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) to private
sector employers.
Outcomes will include but are not limited to 1) a better knowledge of
services offered to private sector employers, 2) increased opportunities
for private sector training for youth, 3) training tailored to employers '
needs, and 4) expansion of youth competency programs, youth try-out
employment program, and youth tutoring program.
Weld County School District Six Vocational Programs , Weld County SDA, Job
Service of Colorado, and JTPA all have excellent histories in the employ-
ment and training system and have cooperated on an informal basis with each
other. This project will coordinate individual agency efforts to better
market their services to existing private sector employers.
II . Statement of Need
A. Identification of the Problem
The capacity to effectively market the employment and training system
to small (10 or less employees) private sector employers is an existing
gap in local employment and training systems. Small private sector
employers do not have the resources to actively seek accurate infor-
mation about JTPA, especially as it relates to high school age youth.
B. Analysis of the Need
There is a need for the small private sector employer to have access
to accurate information concerning JTPA, tax credit incentives, and
Vocational Cooperative Work Experience programs. Conversely, training
and employment agencies are in need of identifying those private
sector employers who would be receptive to employing youth. Efforts
to bring these components together within a framework allowing a
reasonable success factor have not been explored in any depth, nor
have existing resources been coordinated to address the needs of the
smaller private sector employer.
C. Identification of Intended Population
Any student employed in a Weld County School District Six Vocational
Cooperative Work Experience program, between the ages of 16 and 21 ,
and who qualifies as an economically disadvantaged students as
specified by JTPA and federal guidelines.
-2-
D. Segments of Local Resident Population Potentially Eligible for
Program Services
Total high school enrollment in grades 10-11-12 is 2,183 . Approxi-
mately 14% of these students are eligible for and are receiving free
hot lunches. Of these 305 students (14 ) , 75 would qualify as
economically disadvantaged under federal guidelines and are poten-
tially eligible for program services.
E. Grant. Recipient
The grant recipient will be the Weld County Service Delivery Area with
Weld County School District Six to enter a purchase-service agreement
with the SDA.
F. Geographical Area to be Served
The geographical area to be served is confined to the geographical
area of Weld County School District Six within Weld County.
G. Program Area
Employment program areas include 1) try-out employment, 2) youth
competencies, and 3) on-the-job training. Employment opportunities
for targeted populations in program area include but are not limited
to secretarial/word processing , facility/maintenance, electronic
assembly, service occupations, and employer demand opportunities.
Source of the data is the Weld County Service Delivery Area in the
time period 1 , October, 1983 to 30, September, 1984.
H. There have been some previous coordinate efforts for economic develop-
ment through Weld County SDA and Job Service for Adults, but none
specifically for youth. Weld County School District Six is seeking
to address this problem through its Vocational Work Experience Progranss.
III . Goals and Objectives
A. This project has the specific goal of providing a workable vehicle to
span certain gaps in the Vocational Coop-G Work Experience program of
Weld County School District Six. Objectives are to provide economic
development activities for existing employers through 1) local
coordination linkages, 2) integration of service and activities for
existing employers, 3) limiting of marketing efforts to small private
sector employers , and 4) coordination of services offered by Weld
County School District Six, Weld County SDA, Job Service of Colorado,
and JTPA.
B. Generally, the design and implementation of this project will include
the development of competencies in youth as identified by business as
essential to increase their effectiveness in entering the labor market.
Training programs in cooperative education programs for individual
youth will be developed in collaboration with groups of employers to
provide certain services to youth through coordination of agencies
already stated. The design includes a combination of classroom train-
ing and on-the-job training/instruction.
-3-
IV. Methodology
During the time frame of 15, February, 1985 and 31 , December, 1985, two
workshops will be held. Participants at each workshop will be approxi-
mately 15 representatives of small private sector employers. The workshops
will be conducted by representatives from Weld County School District Six,
Weld County SDA, JTPA, and Job Service of Colorado . Participants will be
selected on the basis of 1) occupational objectives of the youth target
group, 2) stability factors in the community of the employer group, and
3) projected ability of specific employers for expansion.
A coordinated effort will be presented by representatives of Weld County
School District Six, Weld County SDA, JTPA, and Job Service of Colorado
to explain 1) Vocational Cooperative Work Experience, 2) the role of Weld
County SDA and JTPA in youth training programs, and 3) the role of Job
Service of Colorado. During the course of the workshop private sector
employers will be asked to identify youth competencies specific to their
business or industry.
Private sector employers who indicate an interest in training youth in
Cooperative Vocational programs using the try-out feature of JTPA will be
identified . All private sector employers will be contacted by a repre-
sentative of Weld County School District Six, Vocational Cooperative
Education, within one month of the workshop.
Eligible youth will be paid an hourly wage of $3.35 by the Weld County SDA
using the 250 hour try-out employment feature of JTPA. All wages will be
paid through the Weld County SDA using Weld County SDA forms as they relate
to payroll , intake, and eligibility. The Weld County SDA will certify the
eligibility of the youth.
V. Evaluation and Effectiveness
A. Procedures used to measure achievement of project objectives will
include but are not limited to 1) number of employers attending,
2) job orders received, 3) placement of youth, 4) understanding of
JTPA in Cooperative Vocational Education by employers, and 5) the
effectiveness of coordination between Weld County School District Six,
JTPA, Weld County SDA, and Job Service of Colorado.
B. Evaluative reviews of youth placed will be conducted on a monthly
basis by School District Six vocational personnel and a quarterly
report made to the proper administrative personnel at Weld County SDA.
C. Anticipated impact of program activities include 1) positive placement
of youth following the 250 hour try-out employment period, 2) better
understanding of services offered by Weld County School District Six
Vocational Cooperative Work Experience program, Weld County SDA, JTPA,
and Job Service of Colorado, and3) continued participation by private
sector employers in the training of youth.
D. In each group of 15 private sector employers, five youth will enter
into positive placement with an employer at the end of the try-out
employment period. Anticipated wage at placement is estimated at
$3,87 per hour.

Cooperative Work Experience programs has worked in close cooperation
with the Weld County Human Resources Department (HRD) in providing
coordination linkages for youth in federal employment and training
systems. Weld County School District Six cooperated fully with the
Weld County HRD in both in-school and seer youth programs and
continues to provide the base youth eligible population for the Weld
County SDA. Weld County School District Six has also cooperated with

School District Six vocational programs have registered each year for
the Governor's Summer Job Hunt.
B. State and Local Agencies
Weld County School District Six and its vocational programs are
authorized by CVA under the supervision of the State Board for Com-
munity Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) . This relationship
has existed for many years and Weld County School District Six 's
vocational programs are in compliance with all SBCCOE rules and
regulations. Services provided by the Job Service of Colorado have
been of great value to the Vocational Cooperative Work Experience
programs in Weld County School District Six. Weld County School
District Six in its long term agreement with Job Service of Colorado
has effectively achieved many private and public sector youth place-
ments and has one of the most commendable relationships in the region.
C. Private Sector
Weld County School District Six through its Coop-G Vocational Work
Experience program has for many years cooperated with the private
sector in the placement and training of youth. This private sector
linkage precedes the development of federal employment and training
systems for youth and is a viable component of the program. Private
sector employers who are knowledgeable about the Coop-G program have
accepted the program concept and feel it is mutually beneficial .
XI. Coordination

I. Abstract:
Since September, 1981 , Weld County has been operating a Welfare
Diversion program. The goal of the program is to assist indi-
viduals in obtaining unsubsidized employment thereby keeping them
off of the welfare rolls.
The program originally started by requiring only AFDC-U (two
parent households) , to participate. Since May of 1983, AFDC
(single parent households) , have been volunteering for the
program. In March, 1984, an 1115 waiver granted by the federal
government enabled the Welfare Diversion program to mandate AFDC
mandatory clients into the program.
Terms for granting the 1115 waiver included a comprehensive and
independent evaluation of the program be carried out.
A contract to purchase the evaluation services has been finalized
between the State of Colorado's Department of Social Services and
the University of Colorado's Board of Regents. The University of
Colorado will evaluate the program and study the following four
(4) objectives:
1. To provide a detailed description of the program's
implementation.
2. To determine whether the diversion program lowers public
sector costs associated with poverty populations.
3. To determine who is served by the program and how the
participants are affected.
4. To assess the effectiveness of the program and develop
recommendations.
II. Statement of Need:
A. Identification of the Problem:
While the Weld County Welfare Diversion Program has clearly
demonstrated drastic savings in welfare costs, there still
remains questions regarding the applicants and recipients who
drop out as well as the overall cost benefit of the program.
The problem is to evaluate these two (2) issues.
B. Analysis of Need:
The need is to reward and evaluate the Welfare Diversion
Program in terms of the questions identified as the problem.
This would prove useful to Weld County, the State of Colorado
and the national government as well as elected officials at
all levels of government.
C. Intended Population:
These funds would be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a
program that serves the welfare recipient and/or applicant.
D. Local Resident Population:
The increasing welfare roll population and all government
agencies involved in serving the welfare client will benefit
from this proposal .
E. Grant Recipient and Administrator:
The Weld County Commissioners are the recipients of the grant
funds and they have delegated the administration of the funds
to the Weld County Division of Hunan Resources.
F. Geographical Area to be Served:
Weld County, Colorado, will be the geographical area that
will be evaluated throughout this process.
G. Employment Opportunities:
The efforts of the PIC and the Commissioners have led to the
design of an employment and training program that is merged
under one administrative structure entitled the Employment
Opportunities Delivery System (EODS). EODS combines the Job
Service of Colorado, Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA,
Welfare Diversion Program and the Community Work Experience
Program (CWEP) into a singularly focused approach to alleviate
unemployment and welfare dependency in Weld County..
H. Previous Methods:
The Welfare Diversion Program is unique in the state of
Colorado. Efforts to strive for the employment of welfare
applicants and/or recipients has been successful . From the
time period of October, 1983, through June, 1984, the JTPA
program experienced a placement rate of 70% of all adult
clients. All of these clients were welfare recipients and/or
applicants.
III. Goals and Objectives:
The contract that has been entered into with the University of
Colorado is attached. The contract spells out the goals and
objectives of the evaluation process.
IV. Methodology:
As stated in the goals and objectives section, the attached
contract with the University of Colorado provides a comprehensive
methodology to the evaluation process.
V. Evaluation and Effectiveness:
Refer to attached contract.
VI. Administrative Capability:
A. Qualifications of the Staff:
The actual evaluators will be supplied by the University of
Colorado's research team.
B. Personnel System:
The personnel system of the University of Colorado will be
followed by the evaluator's. The personnel system of the
Weld County Division of Human Resources is the system estab-
lished by the Weld County Governrent. It is in compliance
and certified by the federal Office of Personnel Management.
C. Existing Resources:
Dollars will be provided by the state of Colorado to assist
in the payment of this evaluation piece. The federal govern-
ment as well as the local government are required to provide
their share.
D. Organizational Chart:
See attachments.
VII. Budget Narrative:
A. Financial Management System:
The accounting and reporting policies of the Division of
Hunan Resources for EODS and the Weld County Government
conform to generally accepted accounting principles as set by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and
the National Council on Governmental Accounting.
The Division of Human Resources has a fiscal unit which works
in conjunction with Weld County Government's Central Accounting
Deapartment. The Division of Human Resources is designated a
separate fund within Weld County Government's computerized
accounting system. A grant accounting system has been
implemented and allows each revenue source to be recorded as
a self-balancing department. All financial data is entered
into the computer system at the county level and a monthly
general ledger is generated.
All warrants are approved by the Weld County Commissioners in
public meetings. All monies received by the Division of
Human Resources are deposited with the Weld County Treasurer's
Office.
An attachment P audit is performed on a calendar year basis.
The Division of Human Resources, as part of Weld County
Government complies with provisions of 41- CFR 29-70-207.
IX. Sub-Contractors:
There will be no sub-contractors.
X. Demonstrated Effectiveness:
The purpose of this proposal is to demonstrate the effectiveness
of the Welfare Diversion Program.
XI. Coordination:
The Weld County Department of Social Services is seriously
impacted by the Welfare Diversion Program. Naturally, coordina-
tion with this agency is on-going.
XII. Assurances and Certifications:
The Weld County Division of Human Resources will comply with all
required assurances and certifications of the act, the state and
Weld County.

Weld County Welfare Diversion
Demonstration Program -
Evaluation Study Framework (-(-I/4:i Li i V L._
For several years, Weld County has been operating some form of welfare diversion
program. The goal of the program is to assist individuals in obtaining unsubsidized
employment thereby keeping them off the welfare rolls. Under the program, eight
weeks of work experience and other job services are provided to selected welfare
recipients and applicants. Since September of 1981, all AFDC-U applicants have
been required to participate in the program. The offer of a job through the program
has been considered "to be a viable test that eliminates applicants who are not
really available for work or may have other alternatives besides welfare.") Since
May of 1982, AFDC single parents have been invited to participate on a voluntary:
basis.
In 1983, House Bill 1093 expanded the Diversion program to include mandatory
participation of single parents that meet WIN requirements. The new program was
designed to be implemented with the 1115 waiver granted by the federal government.
Under the terms of the waiver, an independent evaluation of the demonstration
program is to be carried out including a financial analysis of costs and benefits and
a tracking of client movement through the system.
After consultation with the committee charged with overseeing the program
evaluation, the University of Colorado at Denver proposes the following scope of
work for a three year evaluation of the diversion program. The following pages
detail the study's objectives and describe how we plan to develop data and evaluate
the program. A schedule of deliverables would be provided within 30 days of signing
a contract. Final budget approval and continuation of work would depend on
acceptance of- the work schedule.
Study Objectives
There are four study objectives:
(1) To provide a detailed description of the program's implementation..
(2) To determine whether the diversion program lowers public sector costs
associated with poverty populations.
(3) To determine who is served by the program and how participants are affected.
(4) To assess the effectiveness of the program and develop recommendations.

Program Description
t
The Weld County welfare diversion program is complicated. It draws on funding
from several programs, targeting a range of employment program resources on
welfare diversion clients. The diversion program has undergone several revisions
over the years and will change again in March under the terms of the waiver. The
research team will provide a detailed description and analysis of the implementation
of the job diversion program, including the interaction among agencies and programs.
It will detail funding sources, staffing requirements, clients served, services
provided, types of work placements and rights accorded to program participants.
To prepare its report on program implementation, the research team will:
(a) analyze provisions of law, regulation, and administrative guidelines applicable
to the diversion program.
(b) interview staffs of the Weld County Dept. of Human Resources and Dept of
- Social Services,' workplace supervisors and staffs of agencies providing related
services to document program implementation.
Cost Benefit Analysis from a Government Perspective
In the waiver request, it was hypothesized that the diversion program would result
in substantial savings to all levels of government. Specifically it was argued that
the diversion program will cost less than what would have been spent on welfare
had the diversion program not been implemented.
The evaluation study will test this hypothesis. The research team will develop
detailed information on the costs associated with each individual referred to the
program and a prediction of what public benefit program costs would have been
for these same individuals.
(a) Program Costs: This includes compensation paid during one or more eight
week work cycles, payments under Medicaid, AFDC grants, day care subsidies,
food stamps, state disability programs (if relevant) and administrative costs.
(b) Predicting the Baseline: In order to estimate savings acc7uing as a result
of the diversion program, it is necessary to estimate what costs would have
been had the program not been in place. The cost of both benefits and
administration will be considered. In the waiver request, the assumed welfare
cost for each. referral is based on the statewide average cost for the AFDC-
U and AFDC caseloads. This assumes an average family composition and
length of stay on the welfare rolls. The size of welfare grants clearly vary
based on individual characteristics, local administrative practice and labor
market conditions. Given the variation in welfare costs, use of statewide
averages as a baseline will result in inaccurate estimates of savings unless
the Weld County diversion caseload were an exact reflection of the entire
state welfare caseload. This is highly unlikely. The welfare diversion
caseload may consist primarily of individuals -whose characteristics would
suggest a shorter (or longer) than average stay on welfare. A better baseline
for the calculation of savings can be derived by using a control group
Weld County " vised
May 30, 1384
Page 3
methodology. Based on this analysis and given knowiedge`of the Weld County
diversion program caseload, we can calculate what individuals would likely
have received had they not been diverted.
Both program costs and estimated savings will be allocated among levels of
government. It will also be possible to attribute savings to sets of program
participants and to identify the mechanism by which savings occur. For example,
savings may be realized for the AFDC-U population but not for the AFDC population.
Or savings may be realized due to the drop out rate rather than to the successful
placement of participants in unsubsidized jobs.
The primary objective of this evaluation will be to test the hypothesis outlined
above. There may be additional savings or benefits to the community, however,
due to: (a) individuals being "deterred" from applying for welfare; (b) useful work
being performed by diversion clients; (c) improved community attitudes towards
the welfare program and its recipients. These effects will be acknowledged but
no attempt will be made to quantify them for inclusion in the cost-savings analysis.
Costs and savings will be assessed through a careful review and analysis of
administrative records.
(a) Individuals referred to the program will be tracked for as long as feasable
within the study time frame. The tracking period will vary depending on
the date of the initial referral and will range from 9 quarters for those
referred in the first three months of the program to as short as one quarter
for those admitted at the end of the second year. Actual diversion program
costs associated with referrals and their dependents will be determined. Also
included will be benefits paid in a range of income security and social service
programs including AFDC, Food Stamps, Medicaid, disability assistance and
day care. A method for allocating administrative costs in all relevant
programs will be developed. Costs will be included so long as the benefits
were paid out in the state of Colorado.
(b) The baseline will be determined by developing a "control" group of AFDC
applicants and recipients as similar as possible to diversion program
participants. Ideally this control group would be drawn from the Weld County
caseload, with individuals eligible for diversion assigned on a random selection
basis either to the control group or to the diversion program. Since this is
not a part of the demonstration program design, an alternative control group
will be recuired.
Since all AFDC-U applicants will be mandated to participate in the program
and some form of diversion has been in place for several vears, the control
group for this set of clients will have to come from outside Weld County.
If possible, the control group will be drawn from a limited set of counties
with demographic and labor market conditions comparable to those in Weld
and will consist of a random sample of all applicants (or closures) during a
specific time period.
For the AFDC population, it may be possible to drew the control group from
within Weld County. This will depend on the number participating in the
diversion program and their characteristics relative to the rest of the
caseload.

Public benefit program costs (including administration) attributable to control
group members will be tracked using administrative records. An attempt
( will be made to determine if costs vary systematically and can be predicted
given information available within administrative records (i.e. age, family
size, length of residence etc.)
a
The Impact on Individuals
•
The premise of the diversion program is that it can reduce welfare costs without
hurting individuals. The program is designed to assist individuals willing and able
to work by providing work experience and other services. Clients unable to be
assisted by the diversion program - are supposedly returned to the welfare rolls,
leaving them no worse off for having participated in the program. Those referred
but unwilling to take part in the diversion program are assumed to have better
alternatives.
To determine whether the program is a success, these premises must be subjected
to review. The evaluation must address several questions regarding individuals
referred to the program and how they fare.
(a) Who participates in the program? What are the characteristics of those who
dropout, complete the program, find jobs, etc.
(b) Are those who complete the program any better off as a result of doing so?
Does the program assist people in finding jobs? If so, do the individuals
keep the jobs for any length of time or do they return to welfare? Are
those unable to find jobs any worse off as a result of participating in the
program? For purposes of analysis, "better" and "worse" off will be determined
based solely on income levels.
(c) Why do people drop out of the program and what happens to those who do?
Past program experience suggests that a significant number of referrals
— possibly 40-50% — will either fail to register with the Department of
Human Resources or will not show up at work. Others may drop out before
completing the eight week work experience.
Two types of analysis will be undertaken to provide answers to these questions:
(I) Administrative Records Analysis: Data taken from administrative records
will be analyzed to describe the characteristics of program participants,
-distinguishing drop outs from program conpleters. Administrative records
will also be used to assess in a preliminary fasbio❑ whether the diversion
program increases the likelihood of welfare clients getting jobs. Using
information in public assistance records on status change and unemployment
insurance records, it will be possible to compare the rate of job finding for
diverison program participants with that of the control group.
(2) Survey Analysis: A set of surveys will be undertaken to further understand
the long term effects of the diversion program. A sample of all referrals
would be drawn and individuals would be- contacted two or more times. The
sample would be divided into three groups — drop outs, no-shows, and
completers.

•
o The no-show category will include individuals referred by the Department
{ of Social Services who either fail to report to DHR or do not show up at
the worksite. No-shows would be contacted within one week of their initial
referral. They would be questioned about the reasons for their decision not
to participate in diversion, their knowledge of the program and their plans
for the future. No-shows would be contacted again two to three months
later to determine how they had supported themselves and their families.
o The drop-out category includes those starting a work assignment but
leaving the program before the completion of eight weeks. An effort will
be made to contact these individuals within a week after their departure
from the program. They will be asked their reasons for leaving and their
evaluation of the diversion grogram. A second contact will be made two to
three months later.
o Completers would be contacted initially toward the end of their work
experience.. They would be asked to evaluate their experience in the diversion
program and to describe their job search activities_ These individuals would
also be contacted two to three months later to determine whether they had
found jobs and if not, how they had supported themselves and their families.
During the first year of the evaluation, one complete cycle of surveys would
be completed for a relatively small sample to test survey instruments, methods
of finding respondents etc. In the second and third Years, the survey effort
would be expanded. Consideration would be given to contacting individuals
a third time if resources allow such an effort.
For the sample group on which surveys are conducted an effort will 'De made
to construct a truly comprehensive data base. Survey information would b2
supplemented by data from administrative records and qualitative i formation
provided by DHR staff.
Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations
The final study objective will be to pool the results of the various pasts of the
evaluation to reach some conclusions on program effectiveness. The research team
will:
(a) identify problems that impede effective prog,ram cpere.tion and recommend
changes in the diversion or related programs.
(b) compare study findings with those of other work program evaluations (including
workfare, WIN, grant diversion, etc).
(c) assess the applicability of the Weld County model to other locations.

WORKPLAN
Task 1 - Background Analysis
- la. Reconnaisance of data sources. Before develcping data collection
instruments, it is necessary to review the structure of administrative date
systems kept at the state and county level. We will determine the types
of information stored, general accessability, flexibility for alternative
report generation and ease of data retrieval.
lb. Review of the literature. Before finalizing the research design, other
evaluations of similar programs will be reviewed while welfare diversion
is unique, it bears some similarity to WIN, CW P, Supported Work, etc.
A review of the literature will help the research tea:- refine the questions,
avoid methodological pitfalls and focus attention on the varlet,l_es most
likely relevant to program outcomes.
lc. Determination and submission of project work _c ed:tle and deliverables.
id. Preliminary examination of related programs. In order to assess the costs
and benefits associated with the diversion pr3gralTi, it is necessary to
develop an understanding of the rules and regtiletions governing eligibility
and benefit determination in related programs such as AFDC, Fo:;dstamps,
and Medicaid.
Task 2 - Analysis of Program Implementation
In order to evaluate a program it is necessary to develop an understanding of
what is being done, by whom and with or to vino-. The research team will
clarify their understanding of diversion program rules and regulations, staffing,
service offerings, and related matters. Completion of this task requires the
following:
2a. Review legislation, regulations and administrative ruidelines.
2b. Observe referral process. Determine how ant --cat information is provided
applicants at the Department of Social Services.
2c. Interview program administrators. The interviews will determine each
persons responsibility within the program, tns research team, how work
sites are developed, how individuals are selected for participation and
assigned to worksites, what additional services are provided diversion
clients, impediments to effective program administration, etc. Any changes
in program administration over time will be documented.
2d. Interview placement supervisors to determine the nature of the experience
at the . orksite, their responsibility toward the program participant and
other functions.
2e. Interview external world. The research team will speak with selected
employers, elected officials, advisory committee members and poor people's
• Reid County ✓ised

advocates to identify the the community's perception `of the program and
{ its benefits and pitfalls.
21. Write report on program implementation.
Task 3 - Administrative Records Analysis
Administrative records will be used to analyze the cost effectiveness of the
program. They will also be used in the assessment o; client impacts..
3a. Develop method for tracking diversion program referrals and collect
necessary data. The group to be tracked consists of individuals referred
by the Department of Social Services. For each individual, information
on personal and family background, and actual experience wih the program
will be collected. The team will develop a frai_e'.fori: and collect data
for analysing costs including salary and employee benefits, related training
or employee services, benefits paid out in related LIrograms such as food
stamps and 'Medicaid and administrative costs.
3h. Develop a control group for AFDC-U referrals, collect and analyze data
for the purpose of estimating likely cost per referral had the diversion
program not been in place.
(1) develop sampling framework and determine data to be collected.
The research team will determine whether the control group will be
drawn from selected counties as similar as possible to Weld or whether
it will be drawn statewide. Then a method for sampling cases and
coding data will be designed.
(2) collect data.
(3) computerize data and prepare for analysis.
() analyze characteristics of clients, length of stay on welfare rolls,
level of benefits provided, etc. The assessment of cost per client will
be comparable in scope to that developed in task a.
3c. Develop control group for AFDC referrals; collect and analyze data for
the purpose of estimating likely cost per referral had the diversion program
not been in place.
(I) develop sampling framework and determine data to be collected.
(2) collect data.
(3) computerize data and prepare for analysis.
(4) analyze characteristics of clients, length of stay on welfare rolls,
level of benefits provided, etc.
3d. Analyze data collected on program referrals in step (a) and develop report
on characteristics and outcomes (no-show, drop-o;;t, completer, job finder,
etc.) for categories of referrals (AFDC-U, AFDC-Mandatory, AFDC-
Volunteer)
3e. Analyze data collected in step (a) and utilizing results of analysis in (b)
and (c). assess cost effectiveness of the program for each category of
referral. Write report on results.

Task 4 Survey Analysis
1', The purpose of the survey will be to develop an understanding of the program
from the clients perspective and to figure out to the extent possible what
happens to individuals referred to the program. We want to know why individuals
choose not to participate (no-shows or drop-outs), how program completers
evaluate the program and whether the program decreases welfare dependence.
4a. Assess feasability of alternative modes of administering surveys. Based
on the experience of other studies and a review of client records, determine
feasability of phone, mail and person-to-person survey administration
techniques.
4b. Develop survey instruments appropriate for no-shows and drop-outs. One
survey would be designed to be administered within a week or two after
date of referral or drop-out. A second survey would be administered two
to three months later.
4c. Develop survey instruments for program completers, one to be administered
upon completion of the work exerience and follow-up to be administered
two to three months later.
4d. Determine sample.
4e. Hire and train interviewers.
41. Test survey instruments on small group of referrals.
4g. Administer one round of surveys.
4h. Clean, edit and keypunch data.
4i. Analyze data and write report.
4j. Determine whether changes in survey instrument or method of administration
are required for later samples.

SCOPE OF WORE
I. ABSTRACT
The proposed project will better enable a selected
population of high school students to be more employable.
To provide rural students the opportunity to meet
with employers or personnel directors in simulation.
To observe entry level workers on the job and be able
to talk with them.
II. A. Rural students ate not able or feel comfortable
in seeking employment in the city.
B. Since our students are 55 miles from Greeley, they
do not have the opportunity to experience summer employment
in businesses. Upon graduation they find it very difficult
to handle this new experience of interviews, job applications,
and following the job hunting experiences. To compound
this, they also have a housing problem since they can't live
at home.
C. This project will include grades nine through twelve.
D. Our community is a farming/ranching population.
Due to the very poor economic conditions of farming,
most of our students are potentially eligeble for this
program.
E. The Weld-County SDA will receive = T _?minister the funds,
Pawness School District will purchase s_ri:es frvn the SDA.
P. The geographical area to be served is the Pawnee
School District which consists of 7CD S-uare miles of
rural area. There are no businesses for training.
G. There is no training, employers, on-the-job
training, or agencies available in the program area.
All services for this project will have to be taken to
Greeley which is 55 miles away.
H. During 1983-84 school year we started a pilot
project on employment skills. We took several students,
grades 9-12, to Greeley. A businessman from the priviate
sector and the personnel director from Weld County gave
an inservice on how they employ people, application forms,
what they look for in an applicant, competition applicants
have, how to present themselves, a-d held a -question and
answer session. The rest of the day was -spent in small
groups visiting businesses to observe the skilled workers
that were doing entry level jobs. They were able to
talk with these workers about their iobs and benifits.
They were able to talk with the personnel people also.
Many fears the rural students had were relieved.
They found out they also had a chance is the job market.
They were able to explore careers first hand. The out-
comes were very positive.
III. Goals & Objectives:
Goal: To expose rural students to agencies,
employers, and career choices in the city.
Objectives:
A. First hand introduction to actual employers
of small priviate businesses.
B. First hand introduction to personnel directors
of large businesses
C. First hand introduction to public personnel
directors.
D. Gain knowledge of the different requirments
for applications for the different sized
employers.
E. Gain confidence to meet and apply for employment.
F. Know skills necessary for careers of their
choice so they can obtain these prior to
employment.
G. Be aware of agencies that can help test,
evaluate, and recommend types of employment.
H. Go through an experience of one of the agencies
to know what to expect.
I. Know correct proceedures of grooming, dress,
being on time, and self confidence when
interviewing.
B. We believe that -this project will strengthen
the Job Training Partnership Act as presented
by the states objectives.
IV. METHODOLOGY:
Students will be transported to Greeley by school
bus. Meeting rooms at a resturant will be reserved for
lectures and inservice by guest employers and personnel
directors. Students will be transported to cooperating
businesses for student observations. We will transport
students to agencies that can help with job opportunities,
testing, and other career and employable opportunities.
It is our objective to have graduating seniors go back to
these businesses to seek employment. We propose to
serve approximately twenty youths.
V. EVALUATION AND EFFECTIVENESS
A. Procures that will be used to measure the achievement
of project objectives and expected outcomes will be
to regularly monitor subjects and effectiveness of
activities and workshops and to send quarterly reports .
B. The frequency of evaluative reviews used to monitor
the progress will be quarterly.
C. The anticipated impact of program activities and
services will be identified by finding young people
more ready to enter effective employment .
D. All +students will be more employable after this pro-
gram is completed.
E. Plans to continue program activities beyond this
funding are inevitable because the pilot project
proved valuable to the school population as well
as the private and public sectors.
VI . ADMINISTRATIVE CAPABILITY
A. Current available capable supervisory services
through the purchase of services agreement with
Weld County personnel of service delivery areas
will provide the staff for the project.
B. See (A)
C. Intended use of existing resources will be in-kind
contributions to provide man power for workshops .
D. Organizational chart of administrative entity is
not applicable due to the smallness of students
and personnel.
VII. BUDGET NARRATIVE
A. The financial management will be arranged through
purchase of services .
B. The requested budget will include : transportation,
meals , student stipend, substitute teachers , and
resource people not available as volunteers .
The in-kind contributions will be business
people from public and private sectors :
C. The matching amount and sources are: school
administrator, counselor, career teacher, job
training, partnership personnel, and other
resource people. These matching resources
have not been previously committed.
VIII. LUDGET SUMMARY
A. See attached two budget summaries
1- . Bonding Agreement - N/A
IX. SUB-CGNTRACTING
A. No sub-contractors will be used because of the
previously mentioned services agreement.
B. Same
C. Same
X. DEMONSTRATED EFFECTIVENESS
A. Employment and training systems : impact will be
effective because of the evaluation of the pilot
project conducted with a similar population.
B. Weld County and our agency have been enjoying
an effective working relationship for several years
in the CETA program and current youth work program.
C. The private sector relationship with our agency
proved beneficial to both sectors because the
(1) private sector could tell our students what is
needed and expected of them and (2) this proved
an effective way to introduce students to individuals
and companies of the working world or world of
employment .
XI . COORDINATION
A. Efforts of coordination have been involved with youth
program services :
Weld County Service Delivery Areas
Job Services of Colorado
B. The target population are the high risk, economically
disadvantaged youth who are high school seniors ,
youth in need of education prior to graduating.

PROPOSAL FOR DESCRETIONARY FUNDS
I. The project is designed to give targeted youth on-the-job training
experience by reducing the financial risk of private sector employers,
and/or to provide targeted youth with expanded vocational educational
opportunities. RE-47 High School staff will identify youth to be
served and coordinate their educational endeavors with project activities.
The project is expected to provide targeted youth with entry level job
skills, job retention skills, and improve their ability to be self
sufficient upon completion of high school.
II. A. Certain youth within the Weld County School District RE-#7 are viewed
as high employment: risks by private sector employers.
B. These high employment risk youth are typically emotionally, mentally,
or educationally handicapped and have been staffed by state guidelines
in to special education programs; and/or they are economically dis-
advantaged youth. For example, in RE-#7 grades 7 through 12 from an
enrollment of'383 students 30 students qualify and receive reduced price
school lunch, and 88 students qualify and receive free school lunch -
1/3 of the student population. Although the RE-#7 dropout rate is 4%,
the potential is much higher. The likelyhood is great that handicapped,
disadvantaged, and/or school dropout youth will eventually be on the public
subsistance roles.
Additionally, employers are reluctant to take a chance on employing these
youth. Employers are hesitant with providing more than usual training
time and effort as well as paying a salary comparable to that which they
would pay for an employee requiring far less training. However, if these
youth can expand their work competency' and enhance their job training
through a temporarily subsidized training program, they have a better
opportunity at acquiring and retaining employment.
In the past two years three students graduated from the RE—#7 special
education Work Experience — Study (W.E.S. ) program. Two of those
students are employed at the same job they had when they were students
in the WES program. The third recently became unemployed but is
looking for another job.
Employers often are surprised at what these youth really can do.
A five year follow up study in the RE-47 Agricultural occupations program
shows the following results of 53 students: 26 are currently working in
production agriculture; 17 are currently employed in related agricultural
occupations ; 4 are serving in the armed forces; 4 are continuing their
education; and 2 are unemployed.
C. The intended population includes targeted youth within the boundaries
of the Weld County RE—#7 School District.
D. As indicated in item II B above approximately one third of the RE—#7
student population qualifies for free or reduced prices school lunches
under the federal low income and poverty guidelines.
—1—
Proposal — District RI 7
E. Weld County Service Delivery Area (SDA)
F. Weld County School District RE—#7 area
G. The employment opportunities within the RE—#7 school district area are
limited primarily to agricultural endeavors including farming, dairy,
beef feeding, and turkey farms. Other opportunities must be sought
in Greeley, seven miles away.
Although RE—#7 has worked closely with the Weld County SDA for a long
time, opportunities sponsored by the SDA are also limited.
H. Weld County School District RE—#7 operates four state approved vocational
education programs and one approved special education work—study program.
Three of the five programs offer an on—the—job work—study experience for
students. Weld County SDA has worked with RE—#7 staff in locating
potential job stations for youth. However, over the years, staff has
had extreme difficulty getting employers to hire high risk youth. If
employers needed only to accept the responsibility of job training
without also bearing the burden of paying the youth' s salary, the staff
would have greater opportunities of placing the youth.
III. A. Goals
1 . Reduce dependance upon public subsistance programs
(a) place targeted youth in the private sector for job training
(b) provide youth with entry level job skills
(c) provide youth with on the job experience
(d) increase employability skills of youth
2. Encourage partnership activities between the private sector and the
public schools
(a) promote public school and private sector cooperation in training
youth
(b) expand school-community communication
(c) reduce employers' risk in employing targeted youth
(d) assist RE-#7 schools to be more responsive to the needs of employers
3. Keep potential dropouts in school
(a) provide youth with incentives to complete a high school program
(b) provide youth realistic job training and experience
B. Targeted youth traditionally may either drop out of school denying
themselves the opportunity to be prepared for life or may slide through the
system without obtaining basic employment skills resulting in their having
a disappointing unproductive life and becoming a burden on society. This
project, to the contrary, anticipates saving at least some of these youth
(future members of society) making them into productive, self satisfied,
contributing members of society by providing more opportunities for
expanded vocational training and on-the-job training while reducing the
employer's risk.
This project will allow students to obtain training; recognize and meet
employer requirements for entry level jobs; be wage earners during training;
complete a high school program; have trained adult assistance and super-
vision during training; and be equipped for a life of employment.

Proposal — District RE—#7
IV. The RE-#7 High School staff and SDA will identify qualified youth;
evaluate their nee
ds;neeu�, and coordinate placement in on-the-job training
and/or expanded vocational training. The staff will utilize existing
private sector contacts, services of the SDA, existing vocational
classes as well as expanding private sector =antacts to promote
appropriate participation of the youth. The staff will coordinate the
youth's traditional educational program with :he project participation,
monitor the participation, and in cooperation with the participating
facility supervisor, the youth, and his or her parents will evaluate
progress.
Five slots at a given time will be available for participation in the
training program. Each training segment will be approximately 120
hours in length.
Variations may occur depending upon need. Youth participating in
on-the--job training programs will receive salary incentives (based upon
entry level wage) paid from project funds. i-e project will begin
February 15,1985, and extend through June 30,--1935 accomodating ap-
proximately 15 youth depending upon training needs for each youth.
Eligible participants in the project will include teenage parents,
potential high school dropouts, high school dropouts, delinquent youth,
mentally, physically, and/or educationally handicaoped youth attending
Weld County RE-#7 Schools or residing within the RE-47 school district
boundaries.
V. A. Weld County School District RE—#7 and Weld =D3 will use existing
eligibility requirements, procedures for evalca.ing vocational work—study
programs, and follow up studies on employment status of graduates.
B. RE—#7 High School coordinators will do on site monitoring a minimum
of once a month and more frequently as needed for each individual youth.
RE—#7 will submit quarterly reports to SDA.
C. The project is expected to provide participants the opportunity to
become self supporting, contributing members to society.
D. The project expects an employment rate of participants at 53%
at entry level positions which normally pay minimum wage. If only
three participants in the project are diverted from welfare for a period
of two years, it appears the project will have more than paid for itself.
E. This project will help the school "get its foot in the door" with
employers, allowing them to realize how the school can assist them
with their training needs and allowing them to realize the quality of
instruction and dedication to students Weld Cc_nty School District
RE—#7 can provide. It will also provide opportunities for RE-47 to
tailor its Coop work—study programs to better meet future needs . It is
anticipated that this project will increase school—community relations,
heighten school visibility in the community, expand the school's credibility
to the extent that beyond the funding,employers will be willing to assume
the financial responsibility for hiring/training high risk youth.

WINDSOR OJT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
PURPOSE: To provide an "On the Job Training" program for
mentally handicapped students of Weld County school
district Re 4.
I. Program approach: O.J.T. for Mentally Handicapped Youth.
A. Currently the Windsor school district (Weld Re 4 ) offers
the following vocational services to handicapped youth.
1. An academic class in job skills. The format of this
class involves; career survey, job search, job
attainment, job performance, and career development.
2 . Youth Try - out Program: Students have the
opportunity to try out on a job which they have
demonstrated skills, competency, and interest in.
3 . Competency/Incentive Award Program: Students in this
program have an opportunity to learn good work habits,
gain experience, and obtain a better understanding of
the working world. This is done through classroom
instruction and the participation in an internship
assignment at a public or non-profit organization.
B. Lacking in the current program is a highly needed system
of training students on the specific skills and jobs that
are available in the community. At a recent "Windsor
Chamber of Commerce" meeting widespread support was
demonstrated for a complete program ranging from classroom
instruction to on the job training in private industry.
C. Transitional placement from the current program to
private sector employment has been absent until now. The
existing problem is that the special needs students on
completion of the schools job preparation program are
unable to aquire job skills which are specific to local
industry. An "On the Job Training" program would provide
the necessary transitional step.
D. Goals and Objectives:
Goal # 1 : To provide work training stations in private
for profit industry or business for Mentally
Handicapped Youth.
Objective t 1 : To obtain the agreement of area
businesses to support an "On

measure the effectiveness of the program.
Objective # 1: To determine the demographic
information concerning the
target population.
Objective # 2: To determine the number of
successful OJT placements made.
Objective # 3 : To monitor the training
progress of each participant
on a bi-weekly basis.
Objective # 4 : To determine the number of
participants who successfully
complete a training program by
aquiring entry level job
skills.
Objective # 5: To determine the number of
participants who successfully
obtain long term employment as
a result of the training
program.

.slocated Worker Proposal 0125B
I . Abstract
The purpose of this proposal is to create a funding base accessible
to all Colorado Service Delivery Areas which would be utilized to
provide training, relocation, and employment services to dislocated
workers in Colorado.
These funds would be administered by the Office of Rural Job
Training through the utilization of an inter-SDA program
coordinator. The program coordinator would be responsible for the
development, implementation, and facilitation of a streamlined
system to provide necessary training, relocation, support and
placement services to participants . In addition the coordinator
would also promote a cooperative referral endeavor between SDAs
having identifiable dislocated worker populations.
The impact this proposal will have on SDAs is twofold:
1. The proposal would provide a vehicle to transfer dislocated
workers from those areas of Colorado having limited labor
market opportunities due to economic dislocation or monolithic
economies to areas experiencing significant business
expansions and employment opportunities: and
2 . The proposal would serve to meet the needs of employers
experiencing continual labor shortages due to a lack of
sufficiently trained workers in specified occupational
categories . Dislocated workers would be trained and relocated
as necessary to meet the needs of these employers .
The SDAs jointly participating in this proposal have extensive
experience in the administration and provision of training
programs . Each SDA is a former Prime Sponsor and deliverer of
services under tht .uspices of the Comprehens . : Employment and
Training Act (CETA) . The ten SDAs have demonstrated effective
employment training program delivery systems over a ten year
period, and each has a well established record of high-caliber
provision of services to both participants and employers in their
respective areas of operation.
II . Statement of Need
A. Identification of the Problem:
The dislocation of workers in the Colorado labor force due to
mass layoffs in declining industries has resulted in a group
of workers with job skills which do not easily transfer to the
skill requirements of expanding industries in the Colorado
economy. This has resulted in a surplus of labor in one
sector of the economy which cannot readily be utilized to meet
the labor needs of employers experiencing labor shortages in
specific industries. A predominant example of this in
Colorado is mining and the primary metals industry.
Data provided by the Colorado Division of Employment and
Training, Research and Development Section, identifies a
Dislocated Worker Population of 7051 for the state as a whole.
B. Analysis of the Need:
For FY ' 85 the number of projected unemployed workers in the
Colorado economy is 103, 000 with an unemployment rate of
6.2%. The dislocated worker population of 7.051 represent
6.84% of the total projected unemployed work force.
Dislocated workers are primarily associated with industries
which are in decline or are experiencing static growth such as
the mining and manufacturing industries . To become employable
and re-enter the labor force, dislocated workers in many
2
instances ne to acquire the job skills i demand by
industries experiencing moderate to rapid growth;
consequently, outpacing the labor supply, e.g. . occupations in
the High Tech industry.
Of the 7,051 identified dislocated workers in the Colorado
unemployed labor force, a majority (50. 8 percent) are found in
the rural SDA and Pueblo SDA. In addition, the rural SDA and
Pueblo SDA have the highest projected percentages of
unemployed workers in the Colorado economy for FY ' 85 of 8 . 1
percent and 13 .2 percent respectively. Projected unemployment
rates which are two to three times greater than the percentage
for the state as a whole.
Limited opportunities for dislocated workers to return to full
employment in occupations in which they have marketable skills
will require a combined inter-SDA cooperative effort to train
and relocate dislocated workers to employment opportunities in
growth sectors of the total Colorado economy.
C. Identification of Intended Population:
The dislocated worker population for the purposes of this
proposal are JTPA eligible individuals who:
1. have been terminated or laid-off or who have received a
notice of termination or lay-off from employment, are
eligible for or have exhausted their entitlement to
unemployment compensation. and are unlikely to return to
their previous industry or occupation;
2. have been terminated, or who have received a notice of
termination of employment, as a result of any permanent
closure of a plant or facility: or
3
3 . are long- :m unemployed and have lim. Id opportunities for
employment or reemployment in the same or a similar
occupation in the area in which such individuals reside,
including any older individuals who may have substantial
barriers to employment by reason of age.
Each SDA' s intake and assessment network will be utilized to
identify the dislocated worker population in their respective
regions of the state.
The identified dislocated worker population for the State of
Colorado of 7.051 individuals is distributed throughout the
ten SDA' s as follows:
Number of Dislocated Percentage of
SDA Workers Total

Region V - 5

Centers . The Pueblo SDA has estimated their dislocated worker
population to be well in excess of the 693 reported by ESARS.
Therefore, the reported data is assumed to be a conservative
estimate of the total dislocated worker population.
4
D. Description the Segments of the Local esident Population
Potentially Eligible for Program Services :
The estimated population below the poverty level for FY ' 85 in
the State of Colorado is 341, 200 or 11. 1 percent of the total
population. It is estimated the dislocated worker population
is proportionately representative within this disadvantaged
universe and as illustrated in the table of the prior section
is distributed throughout the ten SDAs of Colorado,. As
determined from the definition in the Act, the majority of
dislocated workers are potentially eligible for services under
JTPA.
E. Identify the Grant Recipient and Program Administrator:
The grant recipient and program administrator for this
proposal will be the Office of Rural Job Training. The
project will be administered in partnership with the other
SDAs in the State of Colorado.
F. Geographical Area to be Served
The geographical area to be served under this proposal is the
entire state of Colorado which encompasses thirteen planning
regions, ten service delivery areas, and sixty-three counties.
NOTE: Reference Attachment 1.
G. Employment Opportunities:
Employment opportunities for dislocated workers under this
project will be provided utilizing the following:
1. Moderate to rapid growth industries experiencing labor
shortages will be identified utilizing the inter-•SDA
linkage network facilitated by the coordinator . Dislocated
workers will be trained in occupational skill areas
determined essential to meet the labor needs of industry
specific labor demands.
5
2. Employer ,cific labor needs will al be addressed
utilizing the inter-SDA linkage network. Dislocated
workers will be trained in the SDA which best meets the
needs of the employer and participant, and upon completion
of training, each dislocated worker will be placed in
unsubsidized employment with a participating employer .
3 . Relocation of dislocated workers to employment
opportunities will occur when:
a. The referring SDA determines the dislocated worker(s)
cannot obtain suitable employment or training within
commuting distance; or
b. The inter-SDA network has identified and secured
employment for the dislocated worker(s) which requires
relocation to another area in the state.
c. As deemed necessary by affected SDAs in the inter-SDA
network, temporary relocation will be provided to
individual dislocated workers to attend job search
clubs or job interviews .
H. Previous Efforts to Address Stated Need:
Previous efforts to address the determined need include
dislocated worker allocations provided by the Governor ' s Job
Training Office for FY ' 84. e.g. , the allocation provided to
the Rural SDA would provide services to an estimated 35-40
individuals . This figure represents less than one percent of
the identified dislocated worker population in the state. In
addition, each SDA has identified and provided services to
dislocated workers who have been determined eligible for
services under Title II-A. However, limited resources have
prevented the provision of services to no more than a small
6
percentage oi_ he total available disloca :d worker population
in the state.
III . Goals and Objectives:
The goals of this proposal are threefold:
1. To develop a viable inter-SDA partnership which will address
the needs of dislocated workers and employers in the state.
2. To develop employment and training partnerships which will
maximize the resource capability of the ten SDAs and
involvement of the private sector in the retraining and
employment of dislocated workers in the state.
3 . To provide meaningful training/placement/relocation support
services to dislocated workers in order to alleviate
employment/training barriers and assure transition from
declining industries to industries experiencing moderate to
rapid growth. A secondary benefit of this goal will be a
reduction in welfare dependency as identified AFDC-U
individuals are assisted in re-entering the labor force.
The objectives to achieve goal 1 are:
1. To develop a viable inter-SDA partnership, a coordinator will
be funded by ORJT by February 15, 1985 .
2 . The coordinator will enhance cooperation between SDAs, Job
Service, and all other agencies providing services to
dislocated workers and employers .
3 . The coordinator will facilitate communication between SDAs in
the provision of training/employment services to dislocated
workers . In addition, the coordinator will assist SDAs in
developing the private sector commitment for the success of
this project.
7 -
The objectives to :hieve goal 2 are:
1. The project will provide a funding base accessible to all SDAs
to assure the full range of employment, training. and
relocation support services to dislocated workers .
2. The development and coordination of an inter-SDA employer
relations network in order to maximize identification of
occupational labor demands throughout the state.
3 . The development of inter-SDA agreements to facilitate the
training/relocation/employment of dislocated workers and
coordination of employer/employment relations networks
throughout the state.
4. The development of a public sector initiative to meet the
needs of the Denver metro area private sector employers.
specifically in occupational categories where labor shortages
have been identified, by providing trainable or trained
dislocated workers who meet minimum job skill requirements .
The objectives to achieve goal 3 are:
1. To develop and provide a system which will identify and
retrain dislocated workers in order to assist in transferring
dislocated workers from areas of limited or decreasing labor
market opportunities to areas of significant business
expansion and employment opportunities.
2 . Retraining and placement of dislocated workers with an
emphasis on minimizing stress to each dislocated worker and
his/her family.
3 . Inter-SDA cooperation to meet the needs of dislocated workers
and participating employers within reasonable time frames .
4. Reduction of welfare dependency through retraining/placement/
relocation support services of dislocated workers identified
as AFDC-U recipients.
8
IV. Methodology,
To achieve the goals and objectives of this proposal, the Office of
Rural Job Training will fund a coordinator to implement and oversee
the operational procedures detailed below. The project funds will
be available for all Colorado SDAs to utilize in retraining,
placing, and/or relocating dislocated workers . It is anticipated
the majority of relocation will occur from the rural and Pueblo
Service Delivery Areas to the Denver-Boulder Metro Service Delivery
Area.
The coordinator will be headquartered in the Office of Rural Job
Training' s administrative office in order to maximize job
development and training linkages within the metro area SDAs . The
centralized location of the coordinator within the metro service
delivery areas will assure ready accessibility with minimal
associated project costs while achieving the goals and objectives
of the proposal .
For clarity in the remainder of this proposal the following labels
will be used to identify each SDA' s role in the training,
/placement/
relocation of dislocated workers :
"Giving SDA" - The SDA initially identifying and enrolling
dislocated workers .
"Receiving SDA" - The SDA to which a dislocated worker is
referred by the Giving SDA.
The coordinator and administering SDA will be responsible for the
following duties:
1. Organizing general inter-SDA agreements for the purpose of
this proposal: and
2. Facilitating agreements between the Giving and Receiving SDAs
in the training/placement/relocation of individual dislocated
workers.
9
3 . Coordinating th SDAs and other applical agencies on a
continual basis to identify significant business expansions
and new labor market opportunities to which dislocated workers
would be relocated and employed.
4. Coordinate with SDAs who have identified dislocated workers
who are available for training and/or relocation.
5 . Develop standardized relocation forms and procedures, to be
used by Giving and Receiving SDAs in assisting dislocated
workers to relocate.
6. Coordinate transfer of participant data and/or files from the
Giving SDA to the Receiving SDA (e.g. , EDP, log notes,
application. etc. )
7. Manage and track fiscal expenditures for relocation services,
job search clubs, OJT. etc. incurred under this proposal .
8. Solicit data from SDAs and prepare all required reports within
allowed time frames .
9 . To develop and enhance the private sector commitment to assure
the continuation of training/employment/relocation concepts of
this proposal upon termination of associated discretionary
funding sources.
The following outline describes the operational procedures and
duties of the Giving SDA. the coordinator/administering agency, and
Receiving SDA in three different phases of the relocation process .
The three phases are:
1. Prior to relocation:
2. During relocation; and
3 . Following relocation.

Training (ORJT) . ORJT is the designated program
administrator/grant recipient for the rural SDA and is
responsible for implementing policies, goals, and objectives
set by the PIC. In addition, ORJT assures that the program
adheres to the legislative mandates of the Act itself, and
complies with criteria established by the State Job Training
Coordinating Council and the Governor ' s Job Training Office .
ORJT will fund one staff position for the purpose of this
proposal. This position will be a coordinator housed out of
ORJT but will provide dislocated worker services to all service
15
delivery are, in Colorado (see Section . for detailed duties
of the coordinator) .
B. The Office of Rural Job Training is a state agency and its

C. The following esources are funded by soL ;es outside of this
SGA and will be utilized by ORJT to insure the success of this
proposal :
1. Office space
2 . Clerical support
D. An organizational chart of ORJT, the administrative entity of
this proposal is provided in Attachment 2.
VII . Budget Narrative
A. The financial management system utilized for the purposes of
this proposal will be the system used by the Office of Rural
Job Training which is a part of the overall accounting system
of the State of Colorado . The central accounting system (CAS)
records all financial transactions conducted by ORJT in
conformance with the following:
1. Receipts are deposited with the State Treasurer and
accounted for in a revenue account designated for ORJT
exclusively. The Department of Labor and Employment
provides payroll/personnel services to this office. Many
controls, balances, approvals, and signatures are needed to
authorize payroll expenditures . The controls are fully
described in the state ' s personnel rules handbook and
payroll procedures manual. All non-personnel expenditures
are subject to verification and approval for payment as
stipulated in the CAS fiscal procedures manual. This
office will use internal controls and procedures that have
recently been designed for us by a CPA firm to the extent
applicable for routing, coding, signature authorization and
safekeeping of documents .
18
2. Cost alloc. ,ion/accounting is maintain_ ., through the use of
a subsidiary ledger that is part of the CAS . This ledger
is called the agency budget ledger (ABL) and is used to
keep track of expenditures/revenues by cost categories .
Expenditures that are directly identifiable to one grant
program are charged to that funding source. Those
expenditures that are not identifiable to one program
(i.e. , telephones, office supplies, etc. ) , are accumulated
into one fund and allocated on a reasonable basis (direct
labor usage) .
3 . An independent audit of agency operations is performed
every two years . The scope of the audit varies but
includes both program and financial concerns . Audit
findings are reviewed and appropriate actions are taken as
deemed necessary. In most cases disallowed or questionable
costs are resolved informally. Those costs not resolved
are collected accordingly.
4. In situations where collection is not possible under normal
conditions, this office uses the Department of
Administration' s collection agency. If further effort is
appropriate, the State Attorney General ' s office is
utilized.
B. The following is a descriptive narrative for the proposed
budget :
The proposal requests $150,000 Dislocated Worker funding to
provide a statewide program for individuals whose employment
opportunities in their current occupation are no longer viable.
19
A coordinator ill be funded to work out the Office of
Rural Job Training. The primary duties of the coordinator
will be the implementation and facilitation of the Inter-SDA
Dislocated Workers project . A minimum of 25 dislocated
workers will be served under this proposal . The primary
services provided will include relocation support, training
(OJT and classroom) , and placement assistance.
C. The matching funds for this proposal will come from the
following sources:
1. Employer contributions to OJTs
2 . Unemployment insurance benefits payments to participants
enrolled in training
3 . Colorado FIRST in-kind and employer solicited contributions
4. SBCCOE FTE match
The total amount of matching funds for this proposal is
$182,040. These funds are non-federal and have not been
previously committed.
VIII . Budget Summary.
A. The two Budget Summaries and Match Budget are provided in
Attachment 3-A. 3-B. 3-C.
B. A copy of ORJT' s bonding agreement is provided in Attachment 4 .
IX. Subcontracting
A. Each SDA has an established service provision network which
assures equitable services are provided to eligible
participants. In addition, agency/employer relations networks
have been implemented to maximize services to participants and
employers in each community.
20
Subcontracti to achieve the goals and jectives of this
proposal will be utilized by those SDAs which have an
established subcontracting system in place to deliver services
under Title II A. In the Rural SDA, ORJT utilizes a unit-
based contracting system to deliver services . Service
providers are selected in accordance with requirements for
federally funded projects cited in OMB circular A.-102 and the
Colorado procurement law and rules governing the RFP process
for selecting service providers.
B. The proposed subcontractors for this proposal will be those
utilized by participating SDAs and those currently utilized by
ORJT in the rural SDA.
I. Each SDA will provide all participant related training and
support services.
C. The amount of funding to be awarded to subcontractors under
this proposal will be in compliance with ORJT' s and
participating SDA' s subcontracting policies established for
program delivery under Title II-A.
R. Demonstrated Effectiveness
The inter-SDA partnership, to provide services under this proposal
collectively, has provided employment/training services to eligible
participants for the entire state of Colorado dating back to the
inception of manpower training concept under President. Johnson' s
administration. The input the SDAs have had on (a) employment and
training systems, (b) state and local agencies, and (c) the private
sector are:
21
A. Staff time d ited by each SDA in develo• ag and implementing
employment/training systems in their respective service areas
in the past several years has been quite extensive. Skill
level requirements of the labor force have increased
dramatically in recent years. as a result, each SDA' s service
delivery system has adapted to meet the increased requirements
by restructuring training programs to assure participants meet
the minimum occupational skills of available job openings in
the Colorado economy.
B. The program administrator of the Rural SDA, ORJT, has
established state and regional coordination teams to
accomplish the following: develop coordination agreement.
provide technical assistance: resolve inter-agency issues.
provide inter-agency training; and respond to the needs of the
SDA/PIC. The state coordination team is made up of
representatives from the Office of Rural Job Training,
Colorado Division of Employment and Training, State Board for
Community Colleges and Occupational Education. Division of
Rehabilitation, and the Department of Social Services .
Corresponding representatives
from the above agencies make up the membership of the regional
coordination teams.
C. Employment/training programs developed and implemented by the
SDAs under the auspices of CETA and JTPA over the years have
resulted in positive benefits to the private sector by
providing:
1. Training programs designed to provide flexibility to meet
the varied labor needs of the private sector .
22
2 . Trained a marketable participants to were able to meet
the minimum skill levels required by the private sector .
3 . A vehicle to address the upgrading and retraining needs of
employers.
4. Development of a viable employer relations network which
addresses the occupational training/employment needs of the
private sector .
XI . Coordinatioa
A. Description of established coordination efforts .
The Office of Rural Job Training has initiated several
coordination efforts with state and local agencies during the
past year under the spirit of the Colorado criteria .
Specifically, the ORJT has met with the Department of Social
Services, local county social services directors, agencies on
aging, Vocational Rehabilitation, the State Board for
Community Colleges and Occupational Education, . Department of
Local Affairs, Department of Education. Colorado Division of
Employment and Training, and the Department of Institutions .
Meetings were held to explore methodology for improving and
enhancing cooperation and coordinating services . Without
exception, these meetings have resulted in increased
understanding and commitment to JTPA and its goals by
participating agencies and entities. Additionally.
coordination with economic development agencies was emphasized
by the Private Industry Council through the planning process
for PY ' 84.
23
The outcome this need is reflected in ;.her SGA
applications collaboratively prepared by ORJT with State Board
for Community Colleges and Occupational Education. Division of
Commerce and Development, and Department of Institutions .
The ORJT realizes that increased coordination can only result
from an increased understanding of agency function.
inter- agency communication, and a realization that more can be
accomplished by working together rather than working
separately to achieve common goals . To meet these objectives.
the ORJT has developed coordination agreements at the state
and regional level with agencies involved in employment and
training activities . These coordination agreements include:
1. Coordinated employer relations plan;
2. Coordinated agreement for services to welfare clients;
3 . Memorandum of Understanding with SBCCOE, and
4. Rural SDA/PIC and Division of Rehabilitation Youth
Agreement.
Additionally, there are regional employer relations and
welfare clients plans that compliment the statewide
agreements . These regional agreements reflect the local
situation in terms of availability of services and local
relationships and are reflective of the individual needs of
community organizations and agencies .
The above coordination agreements provide a solid basis for
formulating the Colorado Partnership - a combined effort of
employment and training agencies cooperatively working
together to provide more effective employer and client
services . The ORJT has been actively involved in supporting
24
the Colorado ,rtnership and assisting t: ,: effort by
involving other agencies and community organizations in the
local employer relations workshops held around the state. In
the nine planning regions served by the ORJT, the foundation
for a local network of employment and training providers and
consumers has been laid or enhanced, not only in terms of
employer relations, but also in the overall effort of
coordinating services . The ORJT will be assisting these
networks as they establish themselves in the months ahead.
The ORJT also stresses coordination and direction from the
private sector. The private industry council provides the
vehicle for this input and to emphasize the importance of
private sector representation now exceeds 65 percent of its
total membership. Additionally, linkages have been
established with several chambers of commerce, including the
Morgan and Logan Chambers, as contacts with the private sector.
B. Relationship of Project to SDA/PIC plan.
The goals and objectives outlined in this proposal closely
follow the SDA/PIC' s plan. Emphasized in the plan was the
desire of the PIC to operate employment and training programs
which emphasize on-the-job training, vocational training, and
pre-employment skills . The PIC also felt that economic
development can serve as a catalyst in job creation efforts .
This project addresses those concerns by emphasizing training/
placement/relocation of dislocated workers within the
parameters defined by the PIC. In addition
C. Letters of support for the Inter-SDA Dislocated Worker
Proposal are provided in Attachment 5 .
25
XII . Assurance Certifi ion
The patties to this proposal assure they will fully comply with the
requirements of the Job Training Partnership Act (P.L. 97-300) , all
Federal regulations issued pursuant to the Act, all Colorado State
policies governing the program, and all items addressed in the
Assurances and Certification section (Attachment C) of the
Solicitation of Grant Application (SGA) .

Dear Bob,
The Inter-Service Delivery Area (SDA) Dislocated Worker Proposal
that your office is submitting for funding under Job Training
Partnership Act (JTPA) Discretionary Funds addresses a key
problem in the Pueblo Service Delivery Area. As you are aware,
Pueblo and the Upper Arkansas Valley have a surplus of dislocated
workers and an economic climate that is not conducive to their
reentering the labor market. We feel that a mechanism to deal
with this problem across SDA boundaries is a necessity.
Therefore, we in the Pueblo SDA support fully your proposal and
will , in tie future, cooperate in its implementation.
Sincerely,

Dear Bob:
I'm writing this in support of the Inter-SDA service delivery project for
Displaced Workers.
The proposed mechanism for serving this population state-wide is
consistent with the goals of JTPA as well as with the needs of Boulder
County.
Although Boulder County has neither an oversupply of labor nor an
undersupply of jobs we do occasionally experience spot shortages in
particular occupations. Also, our labor market is periodically flooded
with skilled labor who are not likely to be re-employed soon.. The
inter-SDA project will permit us to address both problems quickly and to
some effect.
If you need additional information please let me know.

Dear Bob,
As Director of the Jefferson/ Clear Creek/ Gilpin Service Delivery Area..
I am both aware of and supportive of the Inter-SDA Dislocated Worker Proposal .
Creation of this funding base accessible to all Colorado SDA's would be
very beneficial to the dislocated workers of the state.
A cooperative relationship already exists among the state's SDA's and
working with dislocated workers would easily be accomplished within this
relationship. A variety of accessary services could be expeditiously
provided in this way.
For these reasons I support this Inter-SDA Dislocated Workers Proposal .
Yours truly,

COLORADO BUSINESS LABOR COMMITTEE
DISPLACED WORKER PROJECT
A PROPOSAL
INTRODUCTION
There is clear evidence throughout the nation that Title 1II Displaced
Worker programs are not providing the timely response to mass layoffs
and plant closings that the Congress envisioned for the i_mplementuion
of Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act . The intent of c:he
Congress was to establish a partnership between government , business
and labor that could be pro-active in averting the major dislocations
associated with these events . For a variety of reasons , the most
significant being general economic conditions and the major dislocation
already existing, this pro-active role has not been realized to any
great extent. Instead, as a nation we have implemented Title III
programs that are reacting to those major dislocations in the automotiv
steel and other basic industries .
Even these reactive programs , many of which have been effective , have
often not been timely in their implementation. These delays in imple-
mentation result from a number of factors including the fact that JTPA
is new; that the Request for Proposal process used by most States is ,
by its very nature, a slow one ; and that the emphasis on local control
through Private. Industry Councils , one of the great strengths of JTPA,
has created competition between Service Delivery Areas in responding
to problems that , by their very nature , require extensive inter-SDA
cooperation to be effective. But the principal factor contributing to
these delays is lack of an effective planning process and response
structure.
In defining a process that: can be effective and timely in responding
'� to mass layoffs and plant closings , it might be well to examine the
Page 2
Proposal continued
process developed in this nation for responding to major natural
disasters . We have developed effective partnerships between nation_.
al, state and :Local government and the American Red Cross that
routinely respond quickly , and without advance warning, to earth
quake, flood and other natural disaster. The key to that quick
response capability is the existence of a 'ready response ' struc
ture, staffed by trained personnel that know what to do when a
disaster occurs , regardless of: its nature; and the ability to mo-
bilize resources at the local level . Developementof a similar
structure under the auspices of the Job Training Partnership Act
will provide an armature on which to fashion Title III programs
that can respond pro-actively to mass layoffs and plant closings
It is proposed that a Colorado Displaced Worker Project be esta-
blished to develop and refine such a structure and serve as a model
for its implementation in the several states .
Page 3
Proposal continued
Colorado Displaced Worker Project
The objective of the Colorado Displaced Worker Project is to
develop and refine a partnership between government , business and
labor that will be pro-active in averting major dislocations Te-
suiting from mass layoffs and plant closings in Colorado ; to es-
tablish a 'ready response' structure that can respond quickly to
such employment 'disasters ' in the State ; and to provide a mocel ,
with demonstrated effectiveness , that can serve the needs of any
State in dealing with the Dislocated Worker problem.
The proposed Project envisions response to mass layoffs and plant
closings as having three distinctly separate , but inter-related

The guidelines for submitting Title III - Dislocated Worker Discre-
tionary Fund Proposals , issued by the Secretary, call for applications
to address the following points :
* Period of Performance : Although the guidelines indicate a
preference for on<?-year programs , the ' first time' nature of
this proposal sugYests a two-three funding proposal with the
provision that every effort will be made to secure supplemental
funding through State allocation, the State Legis .ature and suc
other sources as might become feasible;
* Need for Fundi : Not applicable in the context of the guide-
lines , however , some general information on the current Dis-
located Worker problem and on projected layoffs and closings
would be helpful.
* Why Discretionary : The nature of the ' Readiness Structure' is
such that the administrative element of cost exceeds the 1570
limit imposed on State allocation funds and, for Program Year
1985 , all Colorado Technical Assistance funds under the 6%
portion of the Title IIA allocation have been committed for in-
centive awards .
* Relationship to State Activities : Inherent: in the description (
the program.
* Occupations : Not applicable to this phase
* Activities : Not applicable in the context of the guidelines fc
this phase - no direct client services .
* Project Results : Will provide timely response capability
* Fiscal. Management : Boilerplate to be provided by the Colorado
AFL-CIO as the proposed Grant recipient.

Proposal continued
* Coordination : Coordination is inherent in the concept , :,ow-
ever, specifics need to be developed prior to final submission.
* Budget : Discussion needs to take place regarding .zxactly how
much the grant request should be , however, on an Annual asis
total project costs for this phase are estimated :o be i,.. t:he
$140, 000 range .
Response Structure
As soon as the Project becomes aware of a pending mass :_•ayoff or
plant closing, a loaned executive will be identified, brought up to
speed on the specific ' disaster' , and assigned to the development
of a local response capability and the implementation of a. Mobile
Dislocated Worker Center. Working n close cooperation with the
local Private Industry Council and using Title III funds flowing
through the affected Service Delivery Area, the loaned executie
will move immediately to establish the following:
* Guidelines for the employer on appropriate timing and met 'tod
for notification regarding the layoff/closing decision .
* A plan for ongoing communications between the plant and Lts
employees and the affected community.
* A management-labor committee .
* A Community Advisory Group, consisting of representatives of the
effected company, the Private "industry Cou.nc:k.l, Chambers of
Commerce, local and state agencies , not-for-profit service or-
ganizations , the Rocky Mountain Work Project and appropriate
labor organizations. This group will provide policy direction an(
guidance to the loc4:? response.

Follow-or. Structure
The Project has a number of responsibilities related to the oonduct
of on-going programs to deal with the Displaced Worker problem.
These include :
* Assuring the existence of viable programs such as the stocky
Mountain Work Project to provide employment. and training
opportunities for dislocated workers not placed during initial
response periods and those displaced through minor layoffs
and plant closings or through technological change .
* Assuring that Dislocated Worker programs in Colorado are
equally available to all dislocated workers without regard to
labor affiliation or other circumstances .
* Conducting periodic seminars and workshops for business , labor ,
Private Industry Councils , state and local agencies ani others
relating to the problems , needs and opportunities presented by
mass layoffs and plant closings .
The immediate consideration , relating to the submission of proposals
for programs to be funded from the Governor' s Discretionary Allocation
is one of creating a joint program with selected Service Delivery
Areas rather than submitting a proposal for their review and sub-
mission to the State. in the approach to this proposed joint effort
it is critical that the Private Industry Councils and SDA Admini-
strators recognize that the funds will flow through the SDA. The
Rocky Mountain Work Project can serve as a model for the kind of
effort that might be proposed. The statistics associated with that

program speak to the effectiveness of the approach. Ana fun,.h
necessary for training and placement in cooperation witF the
Rocky Mountain Work Project and the Colorado AFL-CIO will flow
through and be negotiated with the SDA' s on ar, individual basis
