COLORADO Fron, Walter J. Speckman, Executive Director, Human Resources
subwct: JTPA Discretionary Grants
Enclosed for Board approval are two (2) grant applications for Job
Training Partnership Act (JTPA) Discretionary funds. The two (2) grant
applications are described below:
1. Seniors Serving Industry: This is an application for older worker
training monies in the amount of $47,500. The request is a
continuation of the current grant. The Area Agency on Aging (AAA)
Board discussed the grant application and made recommendations that
are incorporated in the Program Year 1985 request.
This is a competitive grant, however, only Service Delivery Areas
that coordinate with AAAs are eligible to apply for the monies. If
funded, the program year would run from July 1, 1986 through June
30, 1987.
2. Identification and Intervention Program for Educational
Discontinuers: This is a coordinated grant application between
School District 6 and Human Resources. School District 6 is
proposing to devise an automated characteristic profile that would
provide early identification of potential school drop-outs . It is
hoped that by identifying the potential drop-out a special
alternative education program could be developed for the youth and
the youth would remain in school .
School District 6 is requesting $43,623 be made available from the
State Board of Community Colleges to fund this project. If funded,
the program year would run. from January 1, 1986 through December 31,
1987.
Both grant applications were presented to the Private Industry Council 's
Program Oversight Committee on December 5, 1985. The committee
recommended both projects be submitted.
If you have any questions regarding the enclosed grant applications ,
please fee free to contact me.

IV. Scope of Work:
A. Abstract
The Weld County Division of Human Resources is applying for
PY'85 Older'Worker/3% Discretionary Funding to continue and
expand the training activities funded from this source in
PY'84.
The umbrella structure of the Division of Human Resources has
united the Service Delivery Area (SDA) with the Area Agency on.
Aging (AAA) under an innovative single administration. By
administratively combining the two programs, the resources and
expertise needed in planning and delivering services to Weld
County seniors is accomplished in a cost efficient manner.
The Seniors Serving Industry Program is a cooperative venture
between the Service Delivery Area (SDA) and the Weld County
Area Agency on Aging (AAA).
The program was designed to assist older workers in overcoming
some of the barriers they face due to the prevalence of age
discrimination in industry.
For three (3) years, the Seniors Serving Industry Program has
been the focus of all planning and resource coordination by
Human Resources for training, job referral , and placement
activities for Weld County area older workers.
Since 1983, the Seniors Serving Industry Program has placed
222 of the 410 older worker applicants in part time or full
time jobs. With the award of $23,300 under the JTPA PY'84
discretionary monies, the Seniors Serving Industry Program has
been able to expand the program to meet needs of older workers
which go beyond counseling, referral , and job placement
activities.
1
B. Accomplishments
To date, the following activities have occurred:
1. Three (3) , four (4) week Job Club sessions have been held
with a total of 34 older workers attending the sessions.
The Job Club curriculum and sessions have consisted of
training in filling out applications, forms, writing
resumes, interviewing techniques, determining marketable
skills, and how to handle the age discrimination barriers
that an older worker may sometimes encounters.
Feedback from participants has been very positive and
several participants maintain that the Job Club was
instrumental in giving them the skills they needed to
successfully interview and become hired on a job.
2. A 40 hour Security Guard Training Course was completed by
two (2) older workers.
3. A typing refresher course for six (6) older workers is
currently in progress at Aims Community College. The
older workers are being introduced to and trained on the
latest typing equipment.
C. Analysis of Need
An updated analysis of the client records that are available
from the Division of Human Resources Seniors Serving Industry
Program, shows that the areas of need for the older worker
applicants is unchanged. The areas of need are:
1. Older workers, generally women, 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 need full time work as quickly as
possible.
2
5. Older workers who because of working at a series of many
low paying, unskilled jobs most of their adult life, need
extensive counseling and retraining.
Training programs will be designed to meet the five (5) areas
of need for older workers in Weld County.
D. Grant Recipient
The Weld County Commissioners will be the grant recipient and
the Division of Human Resources (which is the Service Delivery
Area (SDA) and the Area Agency on Aging (AAA)) will administer
the proposed program. Coordination, planning and delivery of
the program will be accomplished under one administrative
structure.
The principal goal of Human Resources is to provide
comprehensive services to the entire age spectrum of clients
in a coordinated and efficient manner.
E. Employment Opportunities for Target 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.
The AAA took the lead in 1980 while developing a three (3)
year operational plan by adopting as a 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 SDA' s
Employment Opportunities Delivery System (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 the
Seniors Serving Industry Program.
Both the Private Industry Council and the AAA Advisory Board
were actively involved in initiating and establishing
guidelines for the program. These councils have equal
advisory status to the Weld County Commissioners and are
served mutually by Human Resources staff from the Aging and
Employment divisions respectively.
The Private Industry Council and the AAA Advisory Board's
continued input into the coordination and program service
delivery have enabled the program to follow a successful
course. The councils' involvement in PY'85 will increase.
3
F. Goals and Objectives
The SDA and AAA are seeking funding from JTPA Older Worker 3%
Discretionary Funds in order to promote employment
opportunities for older workers. Human Resources' believes
older workers are entitled to as much financial independence
and satisfaction from meaningful work as any other person.
Also, it is realized that with increased employment
opportunities for the older worker, the pressure may ease on
federal , state, and community assistance programs that
normally are needed when individuals are facing an economic
crisis.
By providing the training that will allow older workers to be
productive (at least until retirement age and longer if they
so desire) , the older worker is then capable of working
towards an adequate retirement income.
To that end, the following goals and objectives are stated to
guide the Seniors Serving Industry Program and the proposed
project under this application.
Goal #1
Increase awareness of the Seniors Serving Industry Program
with the community at large and private sector employers and
older workers.
Objective
To expand public relation activities to include radio
announcements, cable TV advertisements, newspaper inserts,
employer luncheons and Greeley Chamber of Commerce newsletters
and/or functions.
Methodology
During PY'84, speakers were sent to civic organizations to
inform the members of the opportunities available for
employers and the older worker.
In PY'85, the public relation activities must expand beyond
the realm of civic organizations and target those employers
and older workers who are not involved in clubs and other such
functions.
In order to initiate the expanded marketing effort, the
Greeley Chamber of Commerce will be approached to disseminate
to the business community information regarding the program's
activities and the opportunities available to employers. Once
the initial notification has been completed, the Chamber will
be engaged to develop and solicit job openings for the Seniors
Serving Industry Program.
4
The local radio stations will be approached to offer air time
for announcements regarding the older worker program. Every
effort will be made to utilize the public service announcement
process, however, buying commercial airwave time will also be
an alternative that may be used.
The Greeley cable TV network sponsors numerous activities on
the local Greeley TV channel . Consulting with the network
staff and formulating the most advantageous marketing
strategies will result in a TV advertising campaign. Buying
commercial airwave time may be an option that is exercised in
this campaign.
A professionally typeset insert for inclusion in local
newspapers throughout Weld County will be prepared. The
special insert will be updated, published, and inserted in the
newspapers on a quarterly basis.
All marketing efforts for PY'85 will be geared to the older
workers and the prospective employers.
Naturally, the Private Industry Council and the Weld County
Area Agency on Aging Advisory Board will utilize the expertise
of several committee members in order to guide the public
relations activities in the desired direction.
Goal #2
Increase the employability of the target 55 and older age
group through employment and training programs.
Objectives
. To continue the monthly job club for older workers in
coordination with the Employment Opportunities Delivery
System (EODS) comprehensive Job Club Program.
. To continue the additional component to the monthly job
club that serves as a regularly scheduled support group for
those older workers who find they need additional support
and counseling while job seeking.
. To provide additional educational skills to the older
worker to enhance the job prospects for the individual .
. To provide the older worker additional hands-on training in
order to modernize their existing skills.
. To expand the opportunities for educational skills and
classroom training to southern Weld County older workers.
5
Methodology
The monthly Job Club will be continued. The Job Club will
continue to be available to any older worker who is registered
with the Seniors Serving Industry Program.
The Job Club sessions which are conducted at Human Resources
will continue to have an older worker as the instructor.
The Job Club's support group will be continued.
The Industry Responsive Training which was initiated in PY'84
will continue to operate. This training will be customized to
the employer and the older worker. Training will continue to
be offered in the areas of secretarial and security guard.
The AAA Advisory Board has recommend the PY'85 training expand
into the areas noted below. Based on the Board's
recommendations, the following training will be incorporated
into the program:
. Word Processing
. Small Appliance Repair
. Handyman Service
Training activities may include but are not limited to the
following:
. On-The-Job Training
. Remedial Education
. Basic Skills Training
. Work Experience
. Vocational Training
. Training Programs Operated by Private Sector
. Customized Training
In PY'85, expanded classroom training opportunities will be
made available to the older worker. Per the AAA Advisory
Board, these training opportunities will include but are not
limited to the following areas:
. Real Estate
. Insurance
6
. How to Establish a Consulting Business
. GED
. Developmental Reading
. Accounting
. Business Information Systems
In an effort to involve the older workers in the catchment
areas of Platteville, Keenesburg, Fort Lupton, Hudson, Dacono,
Firestone, and Frederick, the training programs will be
offered at the Aims Community College south campus, located in
Fort Lupton.
It is expected that coordination with the south campus
possibly will make training accessible to a large group of
seniors who would find it very inconvenient or financially
prohibitive to commute the 65 mile round trip to the Greeley
campus.

Industry Responsive Training
Proposal
A. Statement of Need:
Educational alternative programs are programs designated to
meet the needs of students who are disruptive or unsuccessful
in a normal school environment. Such programs are as a rule
conducted in one or more of the following forms:
1. Learning centers which specialize in subject areas such as
occupational skills, communication, the performing
arts, etc. The students may attend on either a full-time
or part-time basis.
2. Crisis intervention centers and in-school suspension
programs which provide a temporary intervention program
for students who experience difficulty in the normal
classroom environment.
These difficulties are usually the result of behavioral
problems and teachers who are unable to provide an
appropriate education program.
3. Any other alternative to suspension or expulsion approved
by the district school board.
A public education is a right of the alternative education
student. All alternative education students are entitled to
receive appropriate educational services which will enable
them to have full equality of opportunity.
In order to assist in the early identification of students
who are potential discontinuers for alternative education, an
automated system to determine a characteristic profile of
those students must be developed.
The goal of this project will be to establish the
technological collaboration of isolated data which will
produce early identification of potential school
discontinuers.
The ability to identify a student early in their educational
career will enable a school district to direct the student
towards an educational experience that will provide the
educational and/or occupational skills needed to assist in
keeping the student in-school .
Modification of the school 's curriculum to fit the student's
needs is also a direct outgrowth of early identification of
educational difficulties. A student tailored curriculum may
be the answer to keep the discontinuer in school .
2
In order to reach the goal for alternative education (which is
to effect a positive change in the student' s affective and
cognitive behavior so that the student may return successfully
to the regular instructional program as soon as possible), a
method of documenting and identifying the student "up-front"
must be devised.
A student is currently considered for special programs in
alternative education if they meet one of the following
criteria:
1. adjudicated by the court and, upon being adjudicated is
remanded to a detention facility within the school
district, or
2. placed in a community facility for delinquency or drug
abuse, or
3. enrolled in the public schools and exhibiting one or more
of the following:
. student shows a profile of consistent behavior that
results in frequent conflicts or a disruptive nature
with other students or staff members
. student's negative behavior is general and not limited
to 1 class , 1 teacher or an isolated situation.
. student exhibits behavior which persistently interferes
with the student's own learning or the education
process of others and which requires attention and help
beyond that which the regular instructional program can
provide.
. student' s academic progress is unsatisfactory and the
effort to provide assistance is rejected or
ineffective,
. student's achievement test scores are unsatisfactory
and below the achievement level of other students who
are in the same age group.
The establishment of instructional programs for alternative
education students is based upon the recognition that:
1. There are wide deviations or differences among students in
their physical , mental , emotional and social needs.
2. All persons are unique social beings of varying
backgrounds who must learn to adjust to a changing world.
3. Individual differences in abilities and readiness for
learning must be recognized.
3
4. Respect for the dignity of each individual implies
responsibility for the welfare of our fellow citizens.
The alternative education student should not be separated from
his peer group unnecessarily, but the instructional program
must differ to fully meet the educational needs of students
who deviate from the average to the extent that they require
alternative education to develop their maximum potential .
Students discontinuing in their educational process is a wide
spread problem within School District 6. In 1980, the
drop-out rate was 9% of the total student body. In 1985, 11%
of the entire enrollment in School District 6 has already
dropped out.
There does not presently exist a method to identify who those
potential drop-out students could be before the actual
drop-out occurs. Special programs that need to be developed
for the school discontinuer in order to encourage their
continued enrollment in school are not being developed. If
these specialized programs to address discontinuation in
school are to be offered then a method of early identification
must be developed as well .
A method of identifying the student could forewarn school
officials that an alternative education program for the youth
was needed. The development of an automated characteristic
profile (which does not exist within any school system in
Colorado) will assist the school officials in effective
planning and curriculum development.
This cooperative and coordinated effort between the LEA and
SDA may assist in reducing the school drop-out rate in Weld
County.
B. Goals/Objectives/Methodology:
The goals of this project are:
Goal #1
To establish a technological collaboration of isolated data
producing early identification of potential school
discontinuers.
Objective #1
To identify the data to be used in order to facilitate
the modification of existing curriculum and delivery
methods.
Methodology
It will be necessary to merge and subsequently automate and
input the data from the following School District. 6 files
4
in order to assist in the identification of the student
discontinuer:
. Existing Files (Which Include)
Attendance
Student Audit Trail
Standardized Test File
CRT File
Student Data File
Grades File
Special Programs Identifier File
. Potential Files (Which Include)
Disciplinary Action File
Survey Files
Drug Dependency
School Attitudes
Extra Curricular Involvement
Social Services Data File
Medical Information File
Vocational Training File
When such information becomes available in one place, the
following potential data can be used for early identifica-
tion of the school discontinuer:
. Attendance
. Mobility
. Standardized Test Performance
. Grades
. Ethnic Group
. Family Status
. Special Programs Data
. Disciplinary Action
. Age
. Sex
. Economically Disadvantaged
. Retention
. Medical Information
Until all of the above files have been merged and the data
compared, a profile of the student who is currently fitting
into the discontinuer mold will not be known. Only when
the discontinuer data is revealed will a direction for the
school systems to use in order to fight this problem be
made available.
Goal #2
To direct the identified student's interest towards alternative
educational experiences providing educational and/or occupa-
tional skills and the modification of the curriculum.
5
Objective #1
To utilize the data which has been collected in order
to direct students into occupational skills training
programs which meet their needs.
Methodology
The instructional program will represent a team effort
directed by the school district's division of instruction
and involving school/non-school personnel . Auxiliary
services and community agencies will be involved as an
integral part of program planning from implementation.
Teaching strategies such as behavior management, group
interaction and reality therapy may be utilized.
Students will be encouraged to improve their behavior in
small steps and will be given positive reinforcement to
increase the number of successes. Emphasis will be on a
highly structured, task oriented approach to learning.
The schools will be able to utilize career interest surveys
in cooperation with the intervention data that has been
previously gathered in order to identify a direction for
job development and job placement.
Objective #2
To produce the cohesiveness that is necessary so that
the rural schools may also benefit from this project.
Methodology
The following issues must be answered by December 31 , 1986,
by the rural school superintendents:
. Compatibility of Computer Systems
. Data Items Identified and Uniformly Reported
. Confidentiality of Records
. Age and Grade Student Will Be Identified
. Alternative Education Programs That Are Easily
Duplicated
. On-Going Maintenance of Data System
This particular project is meant to be duplicated with all
the school districts who desire to participate in the
program and will assist in the maintenance of the data for
their own school system.
6
C. Coordination and Functional Responsibilities:
The Weld County Commissioners will be the grant recipient and
the Division of Human Resources (which is the Service Delivery
Area) will administer the proposed program.
The SDA will be responsible for the following:
1. Eligibility Determination
2. Maintenance of Documentation
3. Maintenance of Management Information System
4. Provision of Employment and Training Programs
5. Job Placement
School District 6 will provide the following during the
development of this project and the data system:
1. Screening of Students
2. Assessment
3. Employability Plan
4. Development of Automated Identification System and Input
Data (some of the data to be utilized to develop the
profile includes but is not limited to the following):
. Teacher Observations
. Educational History
. Intervention Strategies
. Conference Results
. Report of Staffing Team
. General Information such as case history
information, supportive services used, etc..
5. Educational Alternative Program
6. Revision of School Curriculum
7. Provision of Student Profile Data to SDA
8. Distribution of Automated System to Other Weld County
School Districts
7
D. Scope of Work:
See Methodology, Section C, Pages 4,5, and 6.
E. Evaluation:
The Private Industry Council will monitor the project on a
quarterly basis. The SDA will prepare a quarterly report
which will be provided to the State Board of Community
Colleges and Occupational Education (SBCCOE) .
The final evaluation of the program will be addressed by the
Private Industry Council in the annual report that encompasses
the time period of January 1, 1986, through December 31, 1986.
For future consideration, the effectiveness of the project's
data collection system and the alternative educational
experiences provided to eligible clients will be tested.
. Objective
To have School District 6 identify a minimum of 15 students
who are identified as potential school discontinuers.
. Proposed Methodology
The students identified will be enrolled in an alternative
educational experience.
As a part of the youth' s alternative educational
experience, the youth will be enrolled in the Job Training
Partnership Act's Title II-A Program.
Enrollment in the SDA' s youth program will involve the
youth in a coordinated system of education and employment
and training.
The youth will be educated via the alternative educational
experience to possess the basic academic qualifications
needed to obtain and hold down a job. Methods to be used
to adjust the teaching strategy to the specific youth' s
needs were identified in Goal #2, Objective #1.
The youth will be trained in work ethics , work maturity,
and work skills as well as PIC recognized competencies when
they are enrolled in the SDA's Title II-A Program.
8
The PIC has determined that the following training
activities will be offered to the youth enrolled in this
project:
. On-The-Job Training
. Basic Skills Training
. Work Experience
. Vocational Training
. Training Programs Operated by the Private Sector
. Customized Training
The PIC also recognizes that it is important to offer these
activities in conjunction with each other so that the youth
may achieve a well rounded experience. Therefore, any of
the above identified activities may be coupled with another
in order to achieve the comprehensive employment and
training needed.
The youth enrolled in the project will receive the
appropriate remuneration for their efforts. The SDA will
provide payment to the youth via the Title II-A Program.
These training dollars will be utilized as match dollars.
The employment and training portion of this project will
commence in October, 1986, and operate in an experimental
mode. An analysis of the experimental program would be
made after December 31, 1986.
Based on the analysis, the LEA and SDA will make their
recommendations for the project's continuation.
Recommendations for needed project modifications will also
be made at that time.
In order for the project expenditures to be considered
successful , the LEA and SDA recommend that 45% of all youth
enrolled will complete the alternative education experience
and employment and training and be placed into an
unsubsidized job.
