Services. Select and describe the services/costs applicable to this EA: X Governor's Summer Job Hunt Category Services/Costs Participant services Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) will provide for the registration of youth and encourage youth to self - register through Connecting Colorado. Youth who complete a registration at events will be encouraged to meet with a Youth Case Manager to discuss job development, complete a one-on-one job search and receive referrals to jobs. ESWC will also provide labor market information and offer workshops on topics such as resume writing and interviewing skills. Assessment testing such as the TABE, Workforce Readiness Certificate and Whole Persons Assessment will also be offered. Information will be provided to all Weld County high schools to inform youth of the program as well as to notify them of the job fairs that will be held; the largest of which is the Annual Teen Job Fair held in conjunction with the City of Greeley. During this time youth will also be made aware that program updates will be provided via the eswc.org website concerning services or activities that offer youth training or certification programs tied with job opportunities or other entrepreneurial activities. ESWC will continue to use the automated emailing system to contact youth who have registered with the workforce Page 3 of 8 NFA# WE16-04 Local Area: WDP Agreement CMS#: Attachment 2 Weld 54599 system. Staff will also use the Notification of Event (NEN) system to notify youth of special events. Program staff will continue to contact youth by phone to provide job referrals, and will provide job preparation counseling during those calls. Staff will ensure that lined entries will be documented on Connecting Colorado. The Applicant file will be annotated by properly closing the contact session with three specific types of results: ongoing job search, inactivating registration records as required or updating client records as obtained employment with the date started, employer name, job title and rate of pay. Training n/a Work Experiences/Internships Active recruitment of employers and jobs will begin in February and continue for the duration of the program. The Business Services Unit will focus on employers who traditionally hire youth for part-time or summer work but may include work experience and internship opportunities. Emphasis will be placed on quality job orders and referrals. Follow-up with employers will occur on an ongoing basis, to include but not limited to: • Directing marketing efforts and visits to employers throughout the county who are likely to hire youth • Sending employers information on resources available for hiring youth • Scheduling/coordinating activities with all local chambers • Mass mailings and cold calls, either on the telephone or one-on-one site visits • Educating employers, and the public, on the Federal and State rules regarding young workers • Provide workshops for employers in the area of applicable Child Labor Laws in 2017 if the schedule allows Costs not related to Participant Services Coordination will occur with the other appropriate programs operated by Employment Services. This will include the Weld County Youth Conservation Corps programs — AmeriCorps and TIGHT. The Youth Committee will discuss strategies to ensure that youth populations throughout the county and the various youth -serving agencies are aware of the Summer Job Hunt Program. All Workforce Center partners will be informed of the youth programs and encouraged to have their youth, as appropriate, access the program. In addition, program staff will attend meetings with the Greeley Youth Initiative and other community recreation programs for outreach as needed and appropriate. age 4of8 NFA# WE16-04 Local Area: WDP Agreement CMS#: Attachment 2 Weld 54599 Supplemental Program Activities n/a 2.

Partnerships. Describe the strategies for coordination of services with Vocational Rehabilitation, Adult Education, and other required partners to deliver services identified in B.I above. Local partners are actively involved in planning efforts through their involvement with the Workforce Development Board and standing committees. These partners, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), Right to Read, Aims Community College, SER Jobs for Progress, etc. have been integrated into Employment Services of Weld County (ESWC) strategies for a number of years. Their input has developed strategies to increase awareness of services and various career pathways. As a one -stop operator, Employment Services acknowledges the importance of connecting customers to all available resources and co -enrolling to provide comprehensive services. The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), through the Department of Human Services (DHS), is utilizing Community Service Block Grant (CSBG) funds to support employment and training efforts for hard to serve target groups and ESWC serves low income families in the EF/TANF programs. 4. Businesses. Describe the strategies used to ensure businesses are engaged with work - based learning, career pathways, Sector partnerships, and other employer services. Unless there is a direct employer need for a certain program, employer services are primarily handled by our Business Services Unit. Outside of the Annual Teen Job Fair, ESWC anticipates that any BSU engagement will primarily be funded through Wagner Peyser funds. 5. Targeted Populations. Describe the strategies used to overcome employment barriers of targeted populations. Youth ages 14-24 will be the targeted population for the GSJH with an emphasis on the below populations: Veterans and their dependents, especially recently separated Veterans, are encouraged to connect with, and take advantage of, services in all programs. Additionally, a triage system has been put into place that has proven to be efficient when working with Veteran's and identifying barriers. Page 5 of 8 NFA# WE16-04 Local Area: Attachment 2 Weld WDP Agreement CMS#: 54599 Low income customers will continue to be referred through the TANF and EF programs. The programs are designed to guide customers in becoming self-sufficient to the point of no longer needing public assistance. When appropriate, customers are co -enrolled. School district's SWAP programs and DVR participate on Workforce Development standing committees and will continue to collaborate on services with all WIOA case managers that have customers with disabilities. Additionally, Business Services sends the list of open jobs weekly to DVR, school districts and community agencies so they can review and make referrals to employment or use the list as a discussion for careers. 6.
