ti_Jd County Dislocated Worker Program Plan
Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Act (EDWAA)
PY 1989
I . Executive Summary
Title III of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) was amended
in August, 1988, by the Economic Dislocation and Worker
Adjustment Act of 1988. The amendment essentially replaced
statewide Dislocated Worker programs funded under Title III of
the Job Training Partnership Act and introduced several major
changes which affected most aspects of statewide Dislocated
Worker programs. Weld County's Dislocated Worker Program Plan
meets the guidelines established under JTPA Letter #88-15 by the
Governor's Job Training Office to assure compliance with the
Economic Dislocation and Worker Adjustment Act (EDWAA) .
o A $90,408 budget has been allocated for PY 1989 under the 50%
State's allotment formula to be appropriated to the Substate
Grantees. Employment Services of Weld County is a Substate
Grantee. Of this total budget allocation, $47 ,847, or 53%,
will be used for retraining programs. A total of 60 dislocated
workers will be served in PY 1989, the particulars are as
follows:
- 45 in retraining activities
- -15 in basic readjustment activities
o A $18,082 budget has been allocated for PY 1989 under the
Governor' s 10% reserve fund to be allocated among Substate
Grantees for special need population groups. Employment
Services of Weld County intends to apply for funds to serve
the displaced homemaker as defined under Section 4(28) of the
Job Training Partnership Act. A total of 20 displaced
homemakers will be served in PY 1989, the particulars are as
follows:
- 17 in retraining activities
- -7- in basic readjustment activities
II. Delivery of Services
In general , the purpose of EDWAA funds for dislocated workers is
to assist individuals who have been terminated or laid-off from
their jobs because of structural economic changes. It has as its
general goal to serve those individuals who need assistance in
transferring or upgrading work skills and/or finding reemployment
in their primary occupation/industry. These funds should provide
training and retraining opportunities for:
o individuals who, because of adverse industrial or occupational
conditions, are unlikely to return to their previous/primary
industry or occupation, or who need upgrading of their skills
to find reemployment in their previous primary industry or
occupation. (Reference JTPA Letter #86-06) .
-1- 890470
o individuals who are unemployed or employed in "stop gap"
employment. These individuals have little likelihood of
securing employment in their previous/primary occupations
and/or industries within a reasonable distance from their
homes. (Reference JTPA Letter #86-06) .
o self-employed individuals who are unemployed because of a
natural disaster, or as a result of general economic
conditions which have caused them to lose their business.
Self-employed individuals who are in the process of going out
of business may also be served. Self-employed individuals
will include any professionals, independent trades people, and
other business persons who are sole proprietors of a business.
(Reference JTPA Letters #86-06, #87-22) .
o farm/ranch owners or operators, spouses, other family members,
and employees. (Reference JTPA Letters #86-06, #87-22).
o older workers who may have substantial barriers to employment
by reason of age or older workers accepting forced or early
retirement as an option in work force reductions. (Reference
JTPA Letters #86-06, #87-21) .
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners and the Weld County
Private Industry Council have determined that funds under this
plan will be targeted to those dislocated workers who meet the
eligibility criteria for dislocated workers and may not be able
to be served under Title II-A.
Twenty-four or 51% of the 47 dislocated workers served from
October, 1987 to April , 1989 were unemployed less than fifteen
(15) weeks, therefore; placing the majority in the early
intervention category.
Long term unemployed clients who are program eligible will also
be served.
A. Basic Readjustment Services
o Outreach and Intake
Employment Services staff will be assigned to provide
intake services through the normal Title II-A procedures
and in the field.
Employment Services will work cooperatively with
community-based organizations and other appropriate
agencies to outreach to dislocated workers. Targeted
groups include those dislocated workers who are homeless
or veterans. As part of Employment Services ' outreach
effort, Public Service Company's Small Business
Intervention Program will identify the small business
owner who is in the process of going out of business.
-2-
890470
Employment Services will work with local labor unions to
identify union workers who are in need of dislocated
worker activities and services.
A major emphasis will be made through the Job Service
function of Employment Services to reach eligible
unemployment Insurance applicants and veterans. Veteran
target groups include disabled and Vietnam Era veterans.
Close linkages have been developed with the Disabled
American Veterans Outreach Center to assist in identifying
eligible veteran dislocated workers.
o Assessment
Each enrollee will be assessed through an Employability
Development Plan or through a Business Intervention Plan.
- An Employability Development Plan (EDP) is
initiated to access and identify the participant' s
employment and training needs. Included in the EDP is
information on the participant's educational background,
work history, employment barriers, mode of transportation,
day care plans, short-range and long-range employment
goals, and whether relocation is acceptable. The need
for testing or GED classes is also determined at this
time. As JTPA activity continues, the EDP may be modified.
The initial EDP or update is signed by both the employment
technician and the participant. It is anticipated that
participants will be provided with an Employability
Development Plan.
- Case Management for veterans who need additional services
will have the Local Veterans Employment Representative
(LVER) designated as the case manager. The case
manager will work with a local case management team
which includes. representatives from the Disabled
American Veterans Outreach Center and the Division of
Vocational Rehabilitation. The case manager will have
the responsibility of assisting in the development and
implementation of the Veteran's Employability Development
Plan.
- A Business Intervention Plan will be developed with the
small business owner, in conjunction with the Greeley
Area Chamber of Commerce and the Public Service Small
Business Intervention Program. The plan will identify
business problems and determine a process to intervene
on behalf of the small business owner who is in danger
of losing his/her company.
o Testing
Participants will be tested to determine basic education
levels and general aptitudes. Testing requirement will be
implemented and incorporated in the assessment process.
-3- 890470
- An assessment of reading skills will be administered by
Employment Services staff. In addition, a more
formalized basic education skills assessment will be
provided as identified in the development of the EDP.
- The General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) will be
administered by Employment Services staff or by
counselors from Aims Community College. Interpretation
of the GATB will be provided by Employment Services or
Aims Community College staffs to validate the
participant's employability plan. Other assessment
tools may also be used for this purpose.
o Job Search/Job Club
Employment Services administers Job Service activities.
Because of this linkage, participants are included in an
automated Job Bank match. On the day of application,
participants are assigned a primary and secondary
occupational code. In addition, each occupation is
assigned an occupational code. These are then matched to
job listings through the Job Service and participants are
referred to employers.
In addition to job bank linkage, the client is assigned to
a technician who assists in the job seeking process by
directing the client to other employment possibilities.
Job Club activities will include participation in
workshops and job search classes conducted through Aims
Community College and other entities. Agreements made
with other entities will include follow-up activities with
clients after job placement to monitor job retention.
o Job Development
Employment Services staff will conduct intensive employer
and job development activities for EDWAA clients.
o Supportive Services
- An on-going goal of Employment Services is to continue
to identify all the services available in Weld County,
any service gaps, and a plan of action for connecting
clients with the necessary services.
There are a number of agencies in Weld County that
provide supportive services. Employment Services will
develop a method by which EDWAA clients can be connected
to appropriate available services.
Employment Services staff will provide employment
retention services for six months after the participant
terminates into unsubsidized employment.
-4- 890470
Mileage reimbursements, not to exceed fifty dollars
($50.00) per month, may be allowed to the classroom
training participant based on client need indicated on
the Employability Development Plan.

Development Plan, reimbursement will be allowed for out of
area job search activities for non-Trade Adjustment
Assistant Act (TAAA) participants. Mileage will be
reimbursed at $.20 per mile and other actual and necessary
expenses will be reimbursed upon submission of receipt.
B. Retraining Services
o Classroom/Occupational Training
Classroom/Occupational Training will be offered to those
participants who have chosen a field in which they have no

intermediate training goals. This will enable Employment
Service to assist the individual in obtaining temporary
employment during the period necessary to complete the
total training program.

track training.
Tuition, books and supplies will be provided. Emphasis
will be placed on developing training which can be coupled
with on-the-job training to assist in the dislocated
worker's reentry into the labor force. One example of
this coupling would be a participant's enrollment in data
entry classroom training while participating in an office
clerk On-the-Job Training contract.
890470

V. Performance Standards
A. Goals
The entered employment standard has been designated by the
state as a performance measure for PY '89. The standard for
Employment Services of Weld County will be set using the
United States Department of Labor supplied national regression
mode. It is anticipated that the standard will be at 61%
entered employment rate. The 61% standard was determined
after reviewing number of placements achieved during the
Title III Dislocated Worker Program for Program Year 1988
and by taking into consideration the projected length of
training necessary to learn new job skills.
The Unemployment Insurance rates in Weld County continue to
be higher than the state average:
State Weld
March 1989 7.3% 7.9%
February 1989 7.4% 8.4%
January 1989 7.3% 8.4%
December 1988 6.1% 6.5%
November 1988 6.3% 6.6%
• Octover 1988 5.8% 5.8%
Recently, two large Weld County employers have experienced
lay offs due to a reduction in force. This will increase our
unemploymemnt Insurace rates.
State Labor market information indicates the average wage of
placement for the Greeley Job Service is currently at $4.69.
The average "last hourly wage" for the 47 participants in PY
89
was $4.64.
It is anticipated that the standard average starting wage
will be $5.00 The $5.00 wage was determined after reviewing
the entered employment wage achieved through the Title III
Dislocated Worker Program for Program Year 1989.

The Private Industry Council and Employment Services of
Weld County will monitor performance on a quarterly basis.
The areas to be monitored include:

Adjustment Act (EDWAA) regulations , program adjustments on
the number of clients to be served or served will take place
quarterly.
VI. Service Providers
Employment Services will not subcontract with community based
organizations to provide services.
The Chamber of Commerce will provide purchases of services
through which Aims Community College will provide educational
services. Due to the limited educational services available on a
local level , other appropriate educational agencies may provide
services through a Request for Proposal process. Procedures
established in regard to services provided for Weld County
Service Delivery Area have been established through the Job
Training Plan for PY '88-'89.
VII . Rapid Response Assistance
A. Agreements
Employment Services of Weld County shall follow the

890470
-8-
of Northern r orado, Aims Community College, avernor's
Small Business Assistance Programs, and the Colorado Housing
and Finance Administration.
The three areas offered by the Small Business Program are:
- Management Education
Often business owners do not have the skills necessary to
begin or continue successful business operations. Skill
requirements vary with the stages of business development,
creating the need for different types of education and
training to promote successful business ventures. Support
through management education would involve education in
business success courses, improving sales results through
sales management, cash flow and other pertinent issues to
the small business owner.
- Management Assistance Information
Direct operational guidance is also a need of the small
business owners. This guidance will be offered through
counseling, legislative networking, reference library
access, and as well as other resources.
- Networking Opportunities
A necessary form of marketing business identities is
through contact with other business owners. It works as a
free advertising vehicle, while encouraging other
businesses to remain in our area. Functions through which
networking occurs are Business After Hours and community
activities.
By utilizing the three areas listed, the program intends
to give an option to the small business owners, regardless
of the state of their particular business.
The Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce's Small Business Program,
and Aims Community College will also be used as recruitment
sources for self-employed individuals.
Aims Community College local and rural school districts,
vocational agricultural programs, Extention Services, farm
managerial associations and the Farm Credit Bureau will be
additional sources for recruitment of farmer/ranchers who
meet the eligibility requirement of the program.

Coordination Procedures for Layoff Response Planning
To be followed when news of a layoff/closing is received.
(1) If layoff news is received indirectly (media, word-of-
mouth, etc.) , the receiving agency shall notify the JSC
(layoff contact person) nearest the layoff site. The JSC
will contact the employer to confirm and record layoff
information. (Use Employer Questionnaire, Attachment
2). The JSC will also:
• Describe to the employer the available services of:
- On-site Unemployment Insurance claims;
- Worker Adjustment workshops;
- Assistance in forming labor/management teams;
- JTPA retraining services;
- TRA/TAA services, if applicable.
• Determine a tentative date and time for a planning
meeting with the employer (within 48 hours if pos-
sible).
- Identify which agencies should attend the planning _
meeting, as desired by the employer, and by the
employee bargaining unit representative, if any.
• Report immediately to the state CDLE contact, to the
SDA, and to other personnel who are to be included in
planning with the employer (Statewide Worker Adjust—
ment, TRA/TAA etc.)
(2) If layoff news is received directly (from the employer or
employee bargaining unit) , the receiving agency will dis—
cuss with the employer or bargaining unit representative
the available services as in (1) , above. Then this
agency (JSC, SDA, Worker Adjustment) will be the lead
agency and will:
▪ Determine a tentative time, date, place, and the parti-
cipants for a planning meeting with the employer (with-
in 48 hours if possible) .
• Notify the state contact person for CDLE or GJTO im-
mediately.
• In cases in which notice is received from the bargain-
ing agent but the employer does not desire on-site
assistance, the contacted agency should arrange for
off-site coordination of services for affected workers.

(3) If a mandatory plant closing notice (i .e. , required by
WARN) is received by the Dislocated Worker Unit at GJTO,
GJTO will be the lead agency and arrange a planning meet-
ing with the employer at the earliest possible date, in-
cluding representatives of other agencies as desired by
the employer and/or bargaining unit. If there is a bar-
gaining unit, GJTO will inform the employer that the unit
will be contacted so there may be communication between
the employer and the bargaining unit concerning layoff
planning. GJTO will then:
• Immediately notify CDLE and the Worker Adjustment pro-
gram, providing details of the layoff and the response
planning arrangements.
• Pursue other appropriate resources, such as technical
assistance to the business or its local community
through the Business Adjustment Network.
C. Providing Layoff Activities
(1) Emolovee Pre-layoff Orientations
Whenever possible, all three agencies should provide one
or more representatives to present accurate, updated in-
formation about services available to workers affected by
a layoff if and when brief (1-2 hour) employee orienta-
tions are conducted. Such "orientations" are frequently
chosen by employers as a first activity.
(2) Mass UI Claims-taking
Normally, only Job Service staff are involved. CDLE
funding is available to "time charge" against when this,
or other on-site activities, require extra staff coverage
at the local offices.
(3) Unemolovment Survival Workshops
• At the employer's choice, these are usually half-day to
one-day information sessions about community services
which can assist dislocated workers and their families.
The agency providing the workshop shall include the other
two agencies as presentors; other community services such
as credit management, family counseling, and welfare
should also be invited by the lead agency. Colorado AFL-
CIO has much experience in leading these workshops; if
JSCs or SDAs serve as the lead agency, they should con—
sult with AFL—CIO about Unemployment Survival workshops.
SDAs must charge layoff activities to the Basic Readjust—
ment cost category.

(4) Other Activities
All participating agencies are called on to be
cooperative and to keep each other informed about other
layoff services which are planned or provided in a local
area by them or the Statewide Worker Adjustment
contractor.
The Worker Adjustment Program also provides assistance:in
forming joint labor-management layoff assistance teams, a
useful approach for larger layoffs which has been used
successfully at Gates Rubber Company and Fort Carson Army
Base.
To contact the statewide Worker Adjustment Program, the
local telephone numbers are:
• Denver (for metropolitan area, northern Colorado, and
portions of western Colorado) (303) 698-1922.
• Colorado Springs (for El Paso County and adjoining
front range area) (719) 635-4611.
' Pueblo (for Pueblo County, southern and western
Colorado) (719) 561-0730.
