II. THE SUBSTATE AREA GRANTEE
The Weld County Board of County Commissioners will be the Grant Recipient.
The Weld County Private Industry Council will have planning and monitoring
responsibility for the program. The program will be administered through
Employment Services of Weld County, the Weld County Service Delivery Area
(SDA) . Weld County does not anticipate a regional employment center at
this time. Should this become a potential in the future, Weld County will
participate in the development and implementation.
The geographical area to be served is Weld County Colorado.
To increase the capacity of the EDWAA Program, given the increase in
funding, Weld County will expand its recruitment efforts for those
individuals registering with the Job Service Center who are eligible for
or applying for Unemployment Insurance or the Food Stamp Job Search
Program. It is anticipated that many of the individuals contacted through
these programs will be determined eligible for the EDWAA Program.
The majority of Title II program staff currently are responsible for some
EDWAA caseload. If resources need to be shifted due to the increase in
program capacity, staff already have the expertise and understanding of
the EDWAA Program to continue the provision of quality services.
Layoffs in the past year have occurred in a wide range of industries. The
"Declining Industry Report - 3rd Quarter 1991 through 2nd Quarter 1993"
indicates the jobs lost for Weld County were 459. The major losses that
occurred by industry were: Wholesale Trade - Durable Goods, 85;
Electric, Gas, and Sanitary Services, 74; Electronic and Electrical
Equipment, Except Computer Equipment, 66; General Merchandise Stores, 57;
Educational Services, 38; Fabricated Metal Products, 33; Miscellaneous
Services, 29; and Transportation Equipment, 29. Losses were also incurred
in the Industrial and Commercial Machinery, Agricultural Production, Heavy
Construction, Agricultural Production Livestock, and Holding and
Investment Offices.
It is the intent in Weld County to serve all segments of the dislocated
worker populations. However, a focus is made to serve those most in need
who would benefit from services for retraining activities. The criteria
to determine most in need status includes the applicants education level,
the impact of layoff, marketable skills, lack of other assistance,
financial condition, stage of dislocation, and other barriers faced by the
individual.
III. EDWAA ANNUAL PLAN NARRATIVE
(1) Outreach and Recruitment
It is anticipated that approximately 22% or 22 of the total
participants for PY '94 will be carried in from PY '93.
1
940494
The primary source of recruitment for EDWAA is through the Job
Service programs operated by Employment Services of Weld County.
All clients registering for Job Service are informed of the programs
and given a questionnaire to complete which identifies potential
clients. Staff have been trained to determine potential eligibility
and refer them to an orientation. This process reaches these
individuals who may be UI claimants or other individuals seeking
employment that would meet EDWAA criteria. To expand outreach
efforts, Employment Services will monitor UI registration on a
weekly basis. Efforts will increase to contact employers who are
identified through the Job Service Employer Relations Unit as
experiencing a lay-off or who are going out of business.
To expedite and eliminate waiting periods of longer than two weeks,
Weld County will refine its eligibility process to try and minimize
documentation and will provide basic readjustment services
immediately to those individuals determined eligible.
Employment Services administers the Greeley Job Service under
contract with the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and
through this relationship coordination with the unemployment
compensation system is performed through registration activities as
described above and in the eligibility section of this plan. Weld
County will participate in rapid response efforts as detailed in
section III (8) of this plan. During this participation,
information regarding the services available through Employment
Services ' programs are explained. Through this relationship with
the UI system, when UI profiling is implemented, the system can
respond to serve those individuals who are identified as needing
reemployment services and who are likely to exhaust their UI
benefits. These individuals will be assessed as to their ability to
benefit from EDWAA services.
(2) Eligibility
Employment Services of Weld County administers the Employment
Services/Greeley Job Service Center. All clients who register for
Employment Services are informed of the EDWAA Program. A pre-
screening form is completed by all applicants. The pre-screening
form identifies EDWAA areas of eligibility and a self-assessment of
services and training a potential client may be interested in.
The Client Services Technician telephones all potential EDWAA
applicants to schedule an application appointment and informs the
potential applicant of the document requirements. Formal assessment
occurs after enrollment.
The Client Services Technician who is responsible for intake
verifies eligibility. The type of documentation kept in a client's
file is determined by the eligibility category and is sufficient to
support eligibility. Example of document used to determine
eligibility includes: UI wage screen review of length of
2
940x94
unemployment; social security cards; layoff notice, documents for
age/MSSA, etc. Information can be verified via documentary
evidence, secondary data sources, or collateral contacts.
Permission to verify the eligibility is obtained from the
participant at point of application. A copy of the Weld County SSG
intake/eligibility form is located as Attachment 4.
A second reviewer conducts a verification of eligibility to insure
that the file contains a complete application, all necessary
paperwork and documentation is in the file and that the information
is consistent and reasonable.
Applicant referrals to non-JTPA programs are documented in the
applicant file. If the applicant is enrolled in the EDWAA programs
the Individual Reemployment Plan (IRP) will reflect the agencies to
which they were referred. If the individual is not enrolled in the
EDWAA program the counselor notes will reflect the referrals to
other agencies for services.
Documentation used to determine eligibility for the EDWAA Program
includes proof of citizenship, age, dislocated worker eligibility
category, the job of dislocation, and for males proof of MSSA
registration if applicable. Documentation for determination of
eligibility category is varied and includes notice of layoff, UI
inquiry report indicating separation status, etc.
A part of the of the application process includes a five year work
history. The job of dislocation is identified in the work history
taken.
Title II eligibility determination is not completed for all EDWAA
applicants. If the pre-screening form indicates that an individual
may be eligible for Title II programs, the individual is questioned
regarding their interest in pursuing eligibility determination. If
the applicant chooses to pursue Title II eligibility and, is
determined eligible for both Titles, the case manager makes the
decision of title based on the needs of the individual and the
services and funds available to best assist the client obtain their
employment goal.
(3) Certificates of Continuing Eligibility
Employment Services of Weld County will not issue Certificates of
Continuing Eligibility.
Weld County may accept and enroll referrals from other SDA's/SSG's;
however, Weld County will have the client complete the eligibility
and verification process. Based on the results of eligibility
documentation, assessment, and need/benefit status, the client may
be enrolled.

940404
(4) Involvement of Organized Labor
A. Development of the Plan
A representative of organized labor is a member of the Weld
County Private Industry Council and the Adult Activities
Committee.
B. Implementation of EDWAA Services
The major linkage with organized labor is through their
representative on the PIC. Additional coordination will occur
when the circumstances arise where organized labor needs to
involved because services need to be provided to a substantial
number of its members. The specific activities will vary
depending upon the circumstance.
The Rapid Response Team will be contacted for layoff response
activities and basic response services as required.
Employment Services will continue to accept referrals for
services from organized labor.
(5) Performance Standards
The Department of Labor has established an entered employment rate
of 67%, and Weld County will plan for a rate of 70%. The projected
wage at placement will be $6.75 per hour per hour is subject to
change and will be based upon whatever the USDOL adjustment model
establishes the rate to be.
The Private Industry Council and Employment Services will monitor
performance on a quarterly basis. The areas to be monitored include
the entered employment rate and the wage at placement and the
customer satisfaction rating which is addressed in section III (10)
A. 1. Program adjustments on the number of clients served or to be
served will take place quarterly to ensure compliance with EDWAA
regulations. Weld County currently does not have an established
internal retention rate goal.
(6) Co-enrollment into Title II
Employment Services does not intend to co-enroll clients in Title
II-A programs. Concurrent enrollment with other vendors may take
place as appropriate.
4
940494
(7) Selection of Service Providers
Employment Services will not subcontract with community based
organizations to provide services. Aims Community College will
provide the majority of the educational services. Due to the
limited educational services available on a local level, other
appropriate educational facilities may provide educational services.
Employment Services does not intend to subcontract. Services
offered by vendors on a fee basis may be used to serve clients
depending on need, ie. , a specific seminar on a relevant need
identified in the reemployment plan. For these services, Weld
County will implement a process which will address each of the
matters listed in § (d) of 627.422 to insure compliance with §
627.422 of the Regulations regarding the selection of service
providers.
(8) Support for Rapid Response Activities
Employment Services will follow the guidelines for the lay-off
procedures outlined in JTPA Letter 92-17.
Employment Services has a Local Coordination Agreement with the Job
Service Center to address Rapid Response Assistance. Weld County
will participate in rapid response efforts. During this
participation, information regarding the full array of services
available through the Job Service, and other Employment Services'
programs are explained. Individuals are provided questionnaires for
initial assessment and provided the name of a contact person at
Employment Services for further assistance.
Preference for dislocated workers referred through Rapid Response
will not be provided. The application/intake process for rapid
response referrals is the same as other dislocated workers are
afforded. Eligibility documentation is the same as that required
for other dislocated workers.
The Rapid Response provider will be informed of enrollments from
referrals if requested.

B. Role in Program Oversight
The Weld County Private Industry Council has the planning and
oversight and monitoring responsibility for the EDWAA
programs. The Private Industry Council focuses its planning
and monitoring through an Adult Activities Committee. Reports

questionnaire for participants which will be modeled
after the OMNI follow up format. Participants will be
surveyed during the third month of training, upon
exiting the EDWAA program, the fourth week after
termination, and again at the twelfth week after
termination. This survey includes questions regarding
the individuals rating of occupational testing, job
counseling, re-training services, OJT, job placement
services, and the program as a whole. Information
obtained in these surveys will be utilized to improve
6
940'04
program design as well as to provide information to
individuals regarding the success of program options.

are included in an automated match in the state-
wide Job Bank. At the time of application,
participants are assigned a primary and secondary
occupational code. In addition, each former
occupation is assigned an occupational code and
the individual lists skills areas obtained from
previous experiences. The automated job match
includes the matching of an applicant's skills
7
94049
with the skills required on a job order. This
allows matching with job listings and subsequent
referrals to employers.
In addition to the Job Match, the client is
assigned to a case manager who assists in the job
seeking process by directing the client to other
employment possibilities and in developing
employment sites.
* Job Club
Job Club activities include participation in
workshops and job seeking classes conducted
through Employment Services. An integral part of
the Job Club is to identify additional skills and
abilities of the participant and to develop or
update of the participant's resume.
* Job or Career Counseling
Job or Career counseling services are made
available to participants who are identified as
in need of assistance in determining a direction
for their skills and talents. The Educational
Opportunity Center is utilized for this activity
for some individuals.
* Supportive Services

services which will include child care
assistance, commuting assistance etc. for those
individuals identified as needing such assistance
to participate in and complete training
activities. Relocation assistance will also be
provided on a limited basis for those individuals
who need such assistance to be able to except
suitable employment.
2. Individuals will be provided information regarding
options and success of programs during the assessment
process. Information given will include an overview of

8
9404'N
3. All participants will be assessed through Employment
Services ' objective assessment process utilizing the
Weld County objective assessment form. This assessment
will include the capabilities, needs, and vocational
potential and goals of the potential participant. This
assessment is initiated prior to the development of the
Individual reemployment Plan (IRP) to determine all of
the individuals employment and training needs, and will
continue throughout the development of the IRP. Initial
assessment for all applicants will include testing for
reading and math levels utilizing the TABE, and a
determination of need/benefit of the individual.
4. Basic readjustment services are provided on a continuing
basis for as long as they are needed. As an example,
assessment is an ongoing process. Although the IRP is
completed prior to the delivery of services, it is
updated on an as needed basis. The list of services
provided under basic readjustment services and a
description of the process is included in Item 1 above.
Relocation services are also described in Item 1 above
under Supportive Services.
5. Specific occupational areas for training have not been
pre-determined. Labor market conditions and information
are given careful consideration at the time a
participant's plan is developed which includes
need/interest in a specific occupational area as well as
appropriateness for training. Sources used to make this
determination include the Occupational Supply/Demand
Report, local labor market data obtained through the Job
Service operated by Employment Services, and individual
research completed by the participant. Individuals are
appraised of the most current labor market information
throughout their participation in the program by
utilizing the Job Match system and through updates of
the Supply/Demand Report.
6. Determination regarding retraining services are
established on a case by case basis and depend upon the
participant's education, previous training, skills
acquired through past employment, and experience.
Information from these areas are assessed as to how they
apply to the participants stated employment goal and a
determination is made regarding the individuals need and
interest in retraining. Generally, individuals who can
obtain suitable long term employment without retraining
will be limited to basic readjustment services.
Individuals requesting retraining services will be
required to complete an education assistance application
for retraining services.
9
94049'1
7. The retraining services to be provided are:
Classroom/Occupational Training, On-the-Job Training,
out-of-area job search, relocation, and basic and
remedial education.
The determination of the need for training is made on an
individual basis. The assessment/IRP process will
determine the process will determine the need and
feasibility or retraining. If retraining is part of the
plan, the participant will be encouraged to apply for a
Pell Grant or other federal financial aid. If other
financial aid is awarded, the plan will be reviewed to
assure that no duplication of funding is provided.
* Classroom/Occupational Training
Classroom/Occupational Training will be offered
to those participants who have chosen a filed in
which they have no discernable skills, and to
those participants who have skill or knowledge in
a field which requires a limited amount of
additional training in order to become more
employable. Types of classroom/occupational
training include but are not limited to:
computer, word processing, mechanical areas,
medical areas, electronics, truck driving,
welding, computer assisted drafting, and any
other appropriate occupational training. Aims
Community College, or other training
institutions, will provide an advisor for each
participant.
Employment Services of Weld County and the
participant will establish intermediate training
goals. This will enable Employment Services to
assist the individual in obtaining necessary
temporary employment during the period to enable
the participant in completing the total training
program.
Continual coordination will occur to help
identify fast-track training.
Tuition, books, fees, and supplies will be
provided at an average cost of $1,500. The
classroom training costs are an average amount.
Approval must be give by the Director of
Employment Services for costs which exceed
$2,500. Decisions are based on the type of
training, length of training time, and other
factors. Emphasis will be placed on classroom
training which can be coupled with On-the-Job
10
940egi
Training to assist in the dislocated worker's
reentry in to the labor force. One example of
this coupling would be a participant's enrollment
in data entry classroom training while
participating in an administrative assistant On-
the-Job Training contract.
* On-the-Job Training
Employers who enter into an On-the-Job Training
Agreement will be reimbursed for 50% of the
training costs; other costs associated with the
On-the-Job Training Agreement, such as clothing,
tools, fees, or other supplies will be reimbursed
at cost, or as negotiated. The training hours
for On-the-Job Training contracts will be
approximately $2,349.
* Out of Area Job Search, and Relocation
Weld County will provide limited out of area job
search assistance and relocation assistance to
individuals who are identified as needing such
services. Assistance will be in the form of
limited cost reimbursement. Additional
information regarding this area can be found in
item 13 of this section.
* Basic and Remedial Education, and ESL Training
GED/ESL and Adult Basic Education classes will be
made available to dislocated workers. These
services will be provided by Employment Services
learning lab or Aims Community College staff.
Basic literacy services will be provided by the
Right-to-Read Program which is a local literacy
agency.
8. Actual training hours for participants will be tracked
in the following manner. At the beginning of the
training, the case manager will determine the schedule
for attending the training activity. For example, if
the class meets two times per week, for three hours per
day, and the participant is scheduled for 24 weeks, the
case manager will note 144 training hours. At the end
of the scheduled activity, the case manager will ask the
participant how many hours were attended. The number of
actual participation hours will then be determined for
that segment. If the competency level or required
training is not attained, then the same process will
follow and the total hours will be adjusted. At the
termination of the activity, the case manager will total
11
940491
all hours and enter the actual hours into the record.
OJT's will be tracked through the employer reimbursement
forms.
9. The classroom training cost is an average amount.
Approval must be obtained from the SSG Director for
costs which exceed $2,500. Decisions are based on the
type of training, length of training time, and other
related factors. This process also applies to each new
term and in addition, factors such as continued
availability of funding and the participant's progress
in training are evaluated.
10. Weld County assures that it follows § 627.220 and
Colorado PGL #93-13-P1. The process and policy are
described in Weld County's PY 94-PY 95 JTP.
The Weld County SSG's Student Financial Aid Policy
requires that participants apply for Pell Grants. If a
participant is eligible for a Pell Grant, or any other
financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher
Education Act, the amount of the assistance awarded is
considered when determining the individual's overall
financial need. EDWAA supplements, rather than
supplants, Pell and other student financial aid
resources. To ensure that there is no duplication of
funding, and to avoid double billing for educational
costs, the SSG case manager will send a letter to the
instructional institution describing the costs (tuition,
fees, books, and supplies) that EDWAA will pay for the
client. The client will use the Pell grant or other
financial assistance to pay for other costs associated
with attending school.
11. In the event that entrepreneurial training is
appropriate for the individual participant, only the
cost of tuition, books, and fees will be provided.
12. Weld County assures that it follows § 627.240 of the
JTPA regulations and that the process and policy for OJT
are part of it's PY 94-PY 95 JTP.
The Weld County SSG developed an extensive OJT policy in
PY 92. This policy covers areas which include the
duration of the OJT's, formulas for length of training,
training plans, etc. The policy addresses the
procedures for working with temporary agencies. The
participants IRP and prior work experience will also be
used in the determination of length of training.
12
9400.94
13. Out-of-area job search reimbursement may be provided
based on information gathered through the objective
assessment and Individual Reemployment Plan.
Reimbursement will be allowed for non-Trade Adjustment
Assistance Act (TAA) participants. Mileage will be
reimbursed at $.25 per mile. Other actual and necessary
expenses will be reimbursed upon the submission of
receipt as determined by the case manager.
Minimal relocation services will be made available to
dislocated workers who are relocating due to obtainment
of employment.
14. Weld County does not intend to use Needs Related
Payments. Employment Services has developed flexible
program services and activities to meet local needs. In
the event that resources are not adequate to meet the
needs identified through Rapid Response, a modification
of the current proposal will occur or additional state
assistance will be requested.
15. Supportive services will be made available to
participants as appropriate on an individual basis based
on needs identified through the objective assessment and
Individual Reemployment Plan.
An on-going goal of Employment Services is to continue
to identify all the services available in Weld County,
identify any service gaps, and determine 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

Readjustment Services will be provided by Employment
Services and Retraining Services will be provided by
Employment Services, Aims Community College, or other
appropriate educational facilities. There are no
services provided by vendors.
2. An assessment will be completed on all participants.
This assessment will include the capabilities, needs,
and vocational potential of a participant. The
determination of occupational skills occurs at intake,
during the application process, during the assessment,
and during the development of the ISS. The assessment
will be client centered, and will include the evaluation
of the participant' s employment barriers, taking into
account the participants family situation, work history,
education, occupational skills, interests, aptitudes
(including interests and aptitudes for non-traditional
occupations) , attitude towards work, motivation,
behavior patterns affecting employment potential,
financial resources and needs, supportive service needs
and personal employment information as it relates to the
local labor market.
Information obtained from the assessment will be used to
develop the IRP. Assessment is an ongoing process which
changes according to what is occurring in a
participant' s life, work or training situation. The
case manager will update the IRP based on the ongoing
assessment as needed, or implement additional formal
assessments as necessary.
3. The TABE Test is primarily used to determine math and
reading levels. This test is provided at intake.
4. The Individual Reemployment Plan is prepared jointly, by
the client and the case manager and contains the plan to
achieve unsubsidized employment as well as an assessment
of the obstacles (barriers) to employment. Each
activity to overcome barriers is described, the
responsibilities of participant and agency are
identified, and time frames identified. The participant
signs and receives a copy of the initial IRP. Any
changes to the plan generate a revised IRP which the
client also signs and receives a copy.
Justification for selection of each activity is provided
and documented on the IRP. The employment objective is
stated and justified.
