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. 3 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. (9) Involvement of the Private Industry Council and Local Elected Officials A. Role in Development of EDWAA Plan The Weld County Board of County Commissioners is the grant recipient and approves the Plan prior to submittal. A county commissioner is a member of the Private Industry Council. The Private Industry Council participates in the development and approval of the Plan. 5 940494 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.

Weld County will utilize a follow up 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. Basic readjustment services offered to a participant to assist them in securing employment are: Development of individual readjustment plans, outreach and intake, orientations to program services, early readjustment assistance, job or career counseling activities, testing, assessment including educational attainment and participant interests and aptitudes, determination of occupational skills, job placement assistance, labor market information, job clubs, job search assistance, self directed job search, job development, supportive services, pre-layoff assistance, limited relocation assistance, and early intervention activities.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 will refer EDWAA clients to the appropriate available services. Mileage reimbursements, not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00) per month, may be allowed to the classroom training participant based on the client need identified in the Individual Reemployment Plan. Other supportive services which are directly related to obtainment or retainment of employment, including, but not limited to, clothing and tools, may be allowed at the discretion of the case manager. Day care assistance payments, not to exceed seventy-five dollars ($75.00) per month, may be allowed to the classroom training participant based on need indicated in the IRP. Weld County has an established supportive service policy and this policy was included in the JTP. 13 B. EDWAA Section 313(b) (1) 1.

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. 14 940n 11 5.
