An emphasis will be placed on occupational areas that pay higher than $5.50 per hour, have fringe benefits, especially health insurance, the employers that are increasing their labor force. 2) An emphasis will be placed on Job Training Partnership Act and Basic Skills Program participants in areas of high demand or areas that indicate more job openings than job applicants or were not filled with the applicants on file. 3) Employment Services will recruit for specific openings through newspapers, schools, universities, and other agencies for potential job applicants as the need arises. B. By coordinated efforts with other local agencies: 1) Employment Services will provide job listing and microfiche information, which it is available, to other local agencies, schools, and veteran organizations. 2) Inter-agency agreements will be maintained or developed to define relationships that will increase placement opportunities for a variety of clients and to coordinate employer relation activities. 3) Utilize the Job Bank system to provide current job openings to applicants. 4) Increase awareness of services by advertising with various newsletters. 5) Work with the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Action Partnership to contact firms that are planning and/or undertaking expansion activities and offer services. 4.

We continue to contend that a longer-term contract, rather than the one year contractual arrangement, will allow the Board of County Commissioners and the Private Industry Council to develop long-term plans and, thus, continually enrich the system. The results of this type of system will mean a more effective and responsible employer/job seeker structure. The Employment Services of Weld County and the Private Industry Council will continue to refine the single-delivery system that benefits the management of the Job Service, the Job Training Partnership Act, the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Program, the Food Stamp Job Search Program, and other employment and training programs under one administrative structure, which is the Employment Services of Weld County. i /g CAC Hello
