Summary & Background: Select Fulton's Workforce Development Division focuses on demand driven workforce solutions by providing data and resources for businesses seeking a skilled workforce; as well as providing workforce solutions for dislocated workers and qualified unemployed/underemployed adults. The primary method of delivering these services is through a network of Career Resource Centers that assist people seeking employment, training and education services for Adult and Dislocated Worker Programs.
Scope of Work: Section 129(c) (1) of the WIOA, requires that design framework for youth programs must include the following: (a.) Provide an objective assessment of each participant, which includes a review of academic levels, basic skills, occupational skills, prior work experience, employability, interests, aptitudes, supportive service needs, and development needs. The assessment is for the purpose of identifying appropriate services to form the service plan. (b.) Develop a personalized service strategy/plan called Individual Employment Plan (IEP) - also known as Individual Service Strategy (ISS) or Individual Service Plan (ISP) for each participant based on assessment data that identifies career pathways and includes education and employment goals, appropriate achievement objectives, and appropriate supportive services. An individualized, written plan of long and short-term goals (that includes needed educational, employment related and personal support services) must be developed and maintained for each participant. Programs should use objective assessment information to develop this plan. The plan should be used to track services to be delivered and/or coordinated by the program and should be regularly reviewed and updated as changes occur. (c.) Provide case management of youth participants, including follow-up services: Activities leading to the attainment of a secondary school diploma: recognized equivalent or a recognized postsecondary credential; Preparation for postsecondary educational and training opportunities; Strong linkages between academic learning and occupational learning; Preparation for unsubsidized employment opportunity; and Effective connections to intermediaries with strong links to the job market and local/regional employers.
