PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) Submission of a Work Plan Notice of
Funding Allocation (NFA) #WE24-005 for the WIOA Workforce Enterprise Fund (WEF)
DEPARTMENT: Human Services DATE: October 15, 2024
PERSON REQUESTING: Jamie Ulrich, Director, Human Services
Brief description of the problem/issue: WIOA Section 116(e) requires that the State, local boards, and state
agencies conduct evaluations to "promote, establish, implement, and utilize methods for continuously
improving core program activities in order to achieve high-level performance within, and high-level outcomes
from, the workforce development system" and "use designs that employ the most rigorous analytical and
statistical methods that are reasonably feasible".
The Department is requesting approval for Employment Services of Weld County's (ESWC) submission of a
Work Plan Notice of Funding Allocation (NFA) #WE24-005 for the Workforce Enterprise Fund (WEF), formerly
known as the Employment Support Fund. This funding is allocated to local areas, using the Wagner-Peyser
allocation formula, for three purposes during SFY25 (PY24):
• WEF Employment and Training Activities.
• Paving Access to Careers and Employment (PACE) Initiative.
• WEF Innovation.

• Deny approval of the Work Plan NFA for the Workforce Enterprise Fund.
Consequences: Program funds will not be distributed.
Impacts: ESWC will not have the opportunity to administer these programs to their fullest and would
be required to utilize their limited Federal resources.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
• Total NFA: $555,211.00.
• Funded through the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment.
• Period of Performance: July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025.

• However, in your local accounting systems, you must track the WEF EEtT, PACE, and
WEF Innovation expenditures separately so that you can invoice for them as separate
subcategories of WEF. This will allow CDLE grant coordinators to track expenditures for
their individual grants.

o PACE: WEF25xx/PACE
o WEF Employment and Training: WEF25xx/EEtTL
o WEF Innovation: WEF25xx/INNP
