Project's Goals and Objectives It is the goal of Employment Services, Centennial Developmental Services Inc. , Colorado Rehabilitation Services, and Schaefer Rehabilitation Center to develop a coordinated delivery system of services directed toward assisting Weld County employers, and placing and retaining adults with disabilities who are eighteen (18) years of age and older in jobs. Coordination will include: a. Increasing the number of job openings for individuals with disabilities by 50 received from employers from urban and rural Weld County as a result of an efficient and coordinated employer relations program b. Placing 18 individuals with disabilities in unsubsidized part-time and full-time employment at an average wage of $4.00 per hour c. Retaining the adult with disabilities in unsubsidized employment for a minimum period of three months 2. Number of Clients to be Served The Initiative will provide employment and training services to 45 adults with disabilities who are eighteen (18) years of age and older. 3.

Statement of Need Weld County covers an area of 4,004 square miles and encompasses 28 incorporated towns. Greeley's population of 60,699 is approximately 43% of the county's total population (139,000) , with most of the remaining population (57%) within rural Weld County. This Initiative seeks to serve employers and participants from Greeley and rural Weld County. The disabled population of Weld County is in need of counseling, medical and situational assessments, and vocational training and/or placement in a suitable vocational area. The primary barriers to employment and independence which prevent this group from reaching full potential are: a. unwillingness of employers to view the individual beyond apparent disability b. inaccessibility of work sites c. transportation needs for varying work hours d. soft labor market (limited opportunities for meaningful work) e. inability to compete with adults who have no diagnosable disabilities, with an additional burden of having to do so in an area of high unemployment Weld County has an estimated 13,900 population with disabilities. This figure is from the most current data base information from Centennial Developmental Services , Inc. , Colorado Rehabilitation Services, and Schaefer Rehabilitation Center. Of this 13,900, an estimated 200 individuals with disabilities require supported employment services without which employment would not be maintained. Given Weld County's current high rate of unemployment, community coordination is essential . At present there are several agencies that offer a variety of services to individuals with disabilities. Coordination of these services, plus a specifically designed employer relations plan, would provide an infinitely more efficient process by which the needs of this targeted group could be met. Implementation of the project would also initiate and ensure on-going coordination of services between local agencies and decrease the possibility of duplication. It is anticipated that the cross-training and collocation of staff will result in increased sophistication in the delivery of employment, training, and support services. 2. Goals and Objectives/Scope of Work It is the goal of Employment Services, Centennial Developmental Services Inc. ., Colorado Rehabilitation Services, and Schaefer Rehabilitation Center to develop a coordinated delivery system of services directed toward assisting Weld County employers, and 890082 Category' Request 1,.r Proposal Page 3 of 10 placing and retaining adults with disabilities into jobs. a.

See Attachment VIII: Match Budget summary Form 9. Project Innovation The applicability of this Initiative to non-disabled populations is exciting, especially for placement and job retention. Whether through counseling, training, mediation, procurement of necessary services, transportation services are provided until the employer and employee both agree that the placement agency's services are no longer needed. The incentive for the employer becomes more than financial . By guaranteeing the quality of the employee (client) , the agency makes the same commitment the employer makes to his or her customers. In Weld County, the preliminary applications of this concept are taking place under this Initiative for adults with disabilities. It is anticipated that the pooling, cross-training, and collocation of staff will result in increased sophistication in the delivery of employment, training, and support services. 10.. Rural Delivery System Weld County Employment Services currently offers services regarding referral , placement, and transportation in rural Weld County. With the implementation of the Initiative, expansion of its services may be made. Until this Initiative, it has been cost prohibitive for Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. , and Schaefer Rehabilitation Center to do supported employment in rural Weld County. Better access to rural employers should lead to more opportunities for rural disabled citizens near their homes. In addition, outreach and new incentives to rural employers through prescriptive employer plans will create new opportunities for both the employer and the participant. 890082 Catagory II Request for Proposal AtttachmentI page I of 6 JTPA CONTRACTOR ASSURANCE STATEMENT A.

Coordination of supported employment services will be improved , and through cross - training of staffs , improved cooperation will bring better marketing and employer awareness of the positive roles people with disabilities can play in their firms . The funding of this proposal will help fulfill a strongly interdependent and unified approach to development of vocational opportunities for this population. Through the involvement of all major agencies in Weld County involved with people with disabilities vocationally , duplication of services should be reduced and coordination of services increased. .
