Annual Compliance Monitoring Report
Employment Services of
Weld
County
Period of Review: July 1 , 2014 — June 30, 2015
Initial Report Issued: September 25, 2015
Executive Summary
Each year the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) conducts a review of
each workforce region in Colorado. This report summarizes the findings of that review for
Employment Services of Weld County(ESWC). This report both identifies and addresses the
outcomes of the Program Year 2014 (PY14) annual compliance review, including best
practices, compliance issues and action items, recommendations, and information regarding the
local workforce region's concerns and technical assistance needs.
From August 24 to August 28, 2015, the Colorado Department of Labor & Employment/
Workforce Development Programs (CDLE/WDP) conducted an annual compliance monitoring
for the period of July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 of programs operated by ESWC. This
comprehensive review included the Workforce Investment Act (WIA)Title I and Wagner-Peyser
Act formula programs, the Trade Adjustment Assistance Act (TAA) program, and discretionary
grants and special initiatives.
Best Practices
• ESWC is performing well with out-of-school youth enrollments. ESWC is performing well
with out-of-school youth. During PY14, they enrolled 182 out-of-school youth, which
made up 74% of their youth enrollments.
Recognitions
• ESWC changed the way they triage participants by assuming everyone is a Dislocated
Worker until proven otherwise.
• ESWC has solid foundational partnerships with Department of Human Services, Chafee,
Probation/Parole, homeless shelters, and SWAP. All endeavors and partnerships help
to provide meaningful services to the hard to serve community, while creating innovative
opportunities.
• In an effort to improve TAA services ESWC committed to participating in the rapid
response process from the beginning to determine potential participants.
Compliance Issues
The review found one (1) compliance issue (see Attachment 2, Compliance Monitoring
WIA/TAA Programs).
COMPLIANCE ISSUES:
1. Ten (10) H1B files were missing case notes and participants were not exited
upon completion of services per policy
Contractual Performance
During the period of review, ESWC met or exceeded all performance measures (See
Attachment 3, Information Dashboard).
Risk Assessment

Executive Summary Page 1
GOVERNANCE: Low Risk
ADMINISTRATIVE, PROGRAM/GRANT, AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS:
Low Risk
PROGRAM SERVICES, DELIVERY SYSTEMS, AND DOCUMENTATION: Moderate
PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY: Low Risk
Sector Initiatives
The team participates on regional sectors in healthcare and advanced manufacturing. The local
sector initiatives include collaborating with healthcare providers, school districts and Aims
Community College to integrate career pathways with the sector strategies. Joint support with
the regional sector group has moved initiatives into better strategic plans. A planned objective is
to help facilitate opportunities on a regional basis in healthcare and manufacturing.
Looking Forward
Education is a critical partner for all Employment and Training programs with the emphasis on
Youth programs. The school districts, as well as higher education, are supportive in developing
sector initiatives, career pathways and training for the talent pipeline. Established partnerships
include the 19th Judicial District, Senate Bill 94, Platte Valley Youth Services Center, Juvenile
Assessment Center, North Range Behavioral Health, Trio Programs, Adult Education,
Homeless and Transitional Shelters, Youth Net, Refugee Serving Agencies, School Resource
Officers, Truancy Liaisons, School to Work Alliance Program (SWAP) and the Department of
Human Services to include Chafee, Youth Services, Child Welfare, Compass, TANF, and
Employment First. The partnership with Child Welfare in enrolling clients into the TIGHT
program continues to assist youth in danger of out of home placement or stop them from
becoming a part of the juvenile justice system altogether. The AmeriCorp program helps low-
income customers through conservation and service work earned, educational resources, and
living stipends while in the program.
ESWC plans on collaborating with Salud Family Health Centers to assist in their efforts to
establish apprenticeship programs as part of the Community Health Center Regional
Apprenticeship Initiative. This initiative would help develop an effective pipeline of workers to
enter high demand health care occupations, an area of demand in Weld County.
Weld has committed to the Sector National Emergency Grant in which ESWC will work with a
minimum of six businesses within the transportation and manufacturing sectors. ESWC is
committed to developing pathways for participants to train in these industries and will refer
participants to employer patterns for employment.
Technical Assistance & Training Needs
ESWC would like to collaborate with CDLE for the following trainings:
• Case management
• Interview Styles
• Evidence-based techniques for working with hard-to-serve population
• Culture of Poverty

Workforce Investment Board
Local Plan: Sector Partnerships
The Business Services Team has participated in both regional and local sector partnerships.
The Weld County Workforce Development Board identified two regional partnerships, Health
Care and Advanced Manufacturing. The local sector partnerships focused on manufacturing,
energy, health care, transportation
ansportation and logistics, and administrative support. These industry
PP
sectors are areas of emphasis for not only the Business Services representatives, but also the
other programs and services offered within ESWC. Employment Services will utilize the Sector
Partnership and Career Pathway tools available through and in partnership with the CWDC as
appropriate. Staff currently participate in the Sector Summits hosted by the CWDC and are
committed to involvement in career pathways efforts as they are developed.
Health Care
Results: ESWC continues to be actively engaged in the Northern Colorado Health Care
Sector Partnership. ESWC representatives are well acquainted with the industry and
education leaders, as well as other entities in supportive roles, in the partnership. A
challenge the partnership faces is scheduling tours with schools. This component is of
concern to the industry partners. The intent of the tours is to build excitement and
explain career paths to young adults so members of the ESWC Youth Unit are beginning
to engage in the Partnership so ties to schools may be strengthened.
Additionally, the Youth Program Manager is a member of the Surgical Advisory
Committee at Aims Community College and is intimately involved with the exploration
and anticipated development of the Sterile Processing Technician Certificate program.
Manufacturing
Results: ESWC continues to be actively engaged in the NoCo Manufacturing Sector
Partnership. ESWC representatives are well acquainted with the industry and education
leaders, as well as other entities in supportive roles, in the partnerships. A challenge the
partnership faces is scheduling tours with schools. This component is of concern to the
industry partners. The intent of the tours is to build excitement and explain career paths
to young adults so members of the ESWC Youth Unit are beginning to engage in the
Partnership so ties to schools may be strengthened.
Under consideration, for PY 15 having the Sector Partnership
rtnership for Manufacturing, itself,
provide scholarships for graduating students interested in pursuing a career in
Manufacturing and working with AIMS Community College and their Colorado Helps
Advanced Manufacturers Program (CHAMP). Additionally, ESWC has committed to
participating in the Sector National Emergency Grant identifying and developing a
pipeline for not only Manufacturing but Transportation as well.
Energy
Results: ESWC conducted a survey with the local Energy Employers in Weld County
and the consensus was not to meet as a Task Force due to the changing economic
ESWC -Annual Monitoring Report September 2015
Attachment 1 —Workforce Investment Board Page 1
situation. This sentiment could also be seen on the Regional Level when the Regional
Energy Sector Partnership launch was delayed due to economic conditions.
Transportation and Logistics
Results: Weld County co-hosted a Transportation Fair in May 2015 serving almost 50
employers. Preliminary work is being done in this area to see if a Task Force can be
achieved in this sector in PY15.
Governance and Administration
ESWC operates under all the policies required under Federal and CDLE guidance. Two (2)
additional union members have been appointed. The Workforce Development Board (WDB) is
revising its Bylaws, as well as its Memorandums of Understanding.
The WDB will confirm their desire to maintain a standing Youth Committee. The Youth Council
will likely have a strong focus on the fourteen youth elements and Youth Procurement. The
Youth Council has been actively engaged and many of the members have expressed interest
and a strong desire to continue to participate with the Youth Council. New WDB members will
be provided with information regarding the Youth Council.
OBSERVATION: ESWC needs to take steps to meet WIOA WDB requirements by October 1,
2015. ESWC need two additional appointees from the private business sector.
Weld acknowledges the observation and has since met the board composition requirements.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
Recognitions
• ESWC is performing well with out-of-school youth. During PY14, they enrolled 182 out-of-
school youth, which made up 74% of their youth enrollments. In alignment with WIOA,
ESWC is on the threshold of fully utilizing formula funds on at least 75% of out-of-school
youth.
Best Practices
• ESWC changed the way they triage participants by assuming everyone is a Dislocated
Worker until proven otherwise. ESWC restructured how their case managers were
categorized, making each case manager carry both an adult and dislocated worker
caseload. All case managers were trained in dislocated worker eligibility to ensure all
dislocated worker categories were addressed before enrolling the customer in the adult
program. This practice has greatly increased the number of dislocated worker enrollees.
• ESWC has a solid foundational partnership with Department of Human Services,
Chafee, Probation/Parole, homeless shelters, and SWAP. ESWC continues to enhance
pathway opportunities for young adults in their community, with Career Pathway Dental
Assisting, enhancing Sector Partnerships as well, such as, Healthcare and
Manufacturing, On-the-Job training, leadership opportunities, and expanded employment
ESWC -Annual Monitoring Report September 2015
Attachment 1 —Workforce Investment Board Page 2
opportunities. All endeavors and partnerships help to provide meaningful services to
the hard to serve community, while creating innovative opportunities.
• In an effort to improve TAA services ESWC committed to participating in the rapid
response process from the beginning to determine potential participants. This allows
counselors to have a discussion with the employers to determine if eliminated positions
are TAA eligible to get the petitions filed as quickly as possible.

Compliance Monitoring WIA / TAA Programs
WAGNER PEYSER
CDLE did not identify any issues during the review.
ADULT
CDLE reviewed twenty (20) WIA Adult program participant files from the PY14 performance
period.
ACTION ITEMS: Two (2)
Action Item: Two (2) files have conflicting start and/or end dates with what is entered into
Connecting Colorado.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 12-06-WIA Guidance on Data Integrity and the Customer Participation Cycle for WIA
and TAA Programs, (IV)(A)(1)(a)(b), "The participation date is the date an eligible Applicant
receives the first participation service (and is enrolled as a Program Participant).... On the
date the first participation service is provided, an eligible Applicant is enrolled in the
appropriate Program."
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC should include, as part of their
response, a description of steps that will be taken to avoid this issue in the future. CDLE
recommends ESWC offer training to staff members around required eligibility documentation.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld agrees with the citation. Internal monitoring will be enhanced to include the review and
validation of this item. 2 of 20 is not a large percentage of error and internal monitoring, along
with internal review of data entry, will address this item.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response.
OBSERVATION/RECOMMENDATION:
One (1)file has a service for a gas voucher from another program, entered by a Weld agent
with project code "50". It would be helpful to the monitor if case notes were added to
complete the story of what program provided the gas vouchers.
Weld acknowledges the Observation/Recommendation. If vouchers are entered by a WIOA
Case Manager, internal technical assistance will include the expansion of case notes in
Adult/Dislocated Worker files. It is noted that clients may be co-enrolled and that a list of the
local project codes for programs such as Employment First and Temporary Assistance for
Needy Families may assist monitors in the future.
DISLOCATED WORKER
ESWC -Annual Monitoring Report September 2015
Attachment 2—Compliance Monitoring WIA/TAA Programs Page 1
CDLE reviewed twenty (20)WIA Dislocated Worker (DW) program participant files from the
PY14 performance period.
ACTION ITEMS: One (1)
Action Item: Nine (9) case files reviewed had conflicting dates or incorrect coding within
Connecting Colorado.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 14-10-WIA Data Validation Procedures (12/8/14) Attachment 1, Source Documentation
Requirements
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC should include, as part of their
response, a description of steps that will be taken to avoid this issue in the future. CDLE
recommends ESWC offer training to staff members around required eligibility documentation.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld agrees with the citation. Internal monitoring will be enhanced to include the review and
validation of this item and technical assistance will be provided to all associated staff.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response.
OBSERVATIONS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The unlikely to return form that caseworkers use when determining unlikely to return was used
in most files without backing documentation. While this is technically okay, the caseworker
discretion option for unlikely to return should be utilized as a last resort.
Weld acknowledges the Observation/Recommendation. Staff have been counseled and
reminded that this is a last resort utilization.
YOUTH
CDLE reviewed fourteen (14)WIA Youth program participant files from the PY14 performance
period.
ACTION ITEMS: One (1)
Action Item: In a sample of six (6) out of twenty (20) files reviewed, it was noted that the ES
program was not closed in conjunction with the last WIA program service provided at exit.
This issue results in a "WIASRD" error per MIS, as well as Data Validation issue. These
issues were corrected while CDLE was on site.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 14-10-WIA Program Year 2013 Data Validation Procedures

Attachment 2—Compliance Monitoring WIA/TAA Programs Page 2
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC must advise CDLE of how the
region's quality control process will address these issues in the future.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld acknowledges and these issues were corrected while CDLE was on site. The MIS team
was notified and acknowledged the lack of notice provided to the case manager. The WIOA
youth team will review exit processes to ensure that exit dates are consistent for program and
ES.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response.
H1B
CDLE reviewed ten (10) H1 B program participant files from the PY14 performance period.
COMPLIANCE ISSUES: One (1)
Compliance Issue #1: Of the ten (10) files reviewed, all were missing case notes and
participants were not exited from the program upon completion of service delivery.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 12-02-H1B H-1B Technical Skills Training Grant: Strategies to Advance Colorado's
Highly Skilled Workforce
PGL 12-06-WIA Guidance on Data Integrity and the Customer Participation Cycle for
WIA and TAA Programs
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC must notify CDLE of correction
of the errors and advise CDLE of how the region's quality control process will address these
issues in the future.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld respectfully disagrees with the H1 B Compliance issue. Per the PGL definition: A
compliance finding is a violation against legal or policy requirements considered to be more
prevalent problem than an individual exception to the rule. This situation was an anomaly and
not a prevalent problem as Weld has not had any compliance issues in the past 25 years. The
situation was due to the re-assignment of the case management of the incumbent H1 B
participants from a seasoned case manager to the Manager of Adult Special Programs this
past January. In direct response to the finding, there were case notes on all of the files in
Connecting Colorado, which was sufficient in past monitoring. Since the monitoring, those
notes as well as notes on the terminations and all other actions were printed and entered into
all of the files.
CDLE Response: CDLE acknowledges that ESWC has demonstrated an excellent track
record with service delivery over the years. This oversight is not indicative of their past
ESWC -Annual Monitoring Report September 2015

performance but it rises to the level of compliance per Policy Guidance Letter#12-02-H1 B, H-
1B Technical Skills Training Grant: Strategies to Advance Colorado's Highly Skilled
Workforce, Section IV(J). The PGL states "Case files should clearly demonstrate program
eligibility with documentation and notes about how the participant qualifies for the
program...When enrolling incumbent workers, include basic information on the employer, why
the employer needs to retrain this individual, and what skills gaps does the participant
currently have...Participant progress and case management activity updates should continue
to be documented throughout the program enrollment period." A lack of sufficient case notes
was found in all ten (10) records sampled, and therefore was not an individual exception to the
rule. ESWC has added the required case notes and exited the participants as required by
policy. When case files are re-assigned ESWC must ensure a process is in place that
confirms all program requirements are followed.
ACTION ITEMS: One (1)
Action Item: Employer self-attestation letters were not on letterhead.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 12-02-H1B H-1B Technical Skills Training Grant: Strategies to Advance Colorado's

CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC must notify CDLE of correction
of the errors and advise CDLE of how the region's quality control process will address these
issues in the future.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld acknowledges the action item, an email was sent to the Human Resources
Representative and they are willing and working on resending the letters on letterhead.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response.
Trade Act Assistance (TAA)
CDLE reviewed nine (9) TAA Worker program participant files during the PY14 performance
period.
ACTION ITEMS: One (1)
Action Item: One (1) file was missing the participant's signature on the Affidavit of Immigration
Status.
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 14-05-WIA Guidelines for Affidavit of Immigration Status
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC must notify CDLE of correction
of this error and advise CDLE of how the region's quality control process will address these
issues moving forward.

Attachment 2—Compliance Monitoring WIA/TAA Programs Page 4
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld acknowledges the action item. One file having this issue seems to be an oversight. File
reviews are conducted to ensure eligibility and compliance and this will be included in our
quality control process.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response.
OBSERVATIONS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS:
Three (3) of the files had assessments stating the client had concerns about possible barriers
but no documentation to show further assessment was done to offer solutions. PGL 12-06-
WIA, Guidance on Data Integrity and the Customer Participation Cycle for WIA and TAA
Programs, provides guidance on case management requirements.
Three (3) of the files had a full year of case notes entered into Connecting Colorado on the
same day. PGL 12-06-WIA, Guidance on Data Integrity and the Customer Participation Cycle
for WIA and TAA Programs, provides guidance on timely and accurate data entry.
Weld acknowledges the Observations and/or Recommendations. Technical assistance has
been provided onsite to ensure that all staff has clear guidance regarding data integrity and
the customer participation cycle.
UI Pilot Program
CDLE reviewed ten (10) UI Pilot program participant files during the PY14 performance period.
CDLE did not identify any issues during the review.
OBSERVATIONS AND/OR RECOMMENDATIONS:
Production worker job dislocation code used states, "construction laborer" as o-net code
(should have used 51 production code) as a related dislocation code instead to properly
reflect job of industry.
Weld acknowledges the Observation and/or Recommendation. Technical assistance has been
provided to ensure that all staff are utilizing the correct o-net codes to properly reflect job
industries.
Hire for Colorado (DW-GL)
CDLE reviewed eight (8) Hire for Colorado program participant files from the PY14 performance
period.
ACTION ITEMS: One (1)
Action Item: One (1) file reviewed was not eligible for program because they were only
unemployed for 11 weeks. This issue was corrected while CDLE was on site.
ESWC -Annual Monitoring Report September 2015
Attachment 2—Compliance Monitoring WIA/TAA Programs Page 5
Legal/Policy Citation:
PGL 15-03-WIA Hire for Colorado Long-Term Unemployed Initiative (IV) (A) (1) (c)
CDLE Required Action: Within 14 days of this report, ESWC must notify CDLE of correction
of this error and advise CDLE of how the region's quality control process will address these
issues moving forward.
During the week of November 09, 2015 to November 13, 2015, CDLE will conduct a follow-up
session to reassess and ensure the issue has been corrected.
ESWC Response:
Weld agrees with the action item. Initially State was providing a list to regions with clients
deemed eligible for this program; this file was recruited based off of that list. The list was later
retracted and Weld thought the client would still fall under that eligibility but that was not the
case. This issue was corrected while CDLE was on site; the client and associated costs were
moved to Dislocated Worker.
CDLE Response: CDLE accepts ESWC's response. Per PGL 15-03-WIA, Hire for Colorado
Long-Term Unemployed Initiative, Section IV (A) To meet eligibility for this program an
individual must be...Long-term unemployed, defined as out of work for 6 months or more (26
or more weeks)." The PGL further stipulates, in Section IV(B), "Local workforce center staff
will make personal contact with individuals to schedule intake appointment and/or orientation
and to verify eligibility." CDLE acknowledges that costs have been redistributed to the
Dislocated Worker program and the issue is resolved.
Disaster NEG
CDLE reviewed five (5) Disaster NEG participant files from the PY14 performance period.
CDLE did not identify any issues during the review.
