CURRENT GLOW WDB AND EMERGING WORKER COMMITTEE MEMBERS……..13

Norb Fuest, Appletree HR and Consultants In 2017 the GLOW Workforce Development Board welcomed several new board members to assist in the shaping of services to our job seekers and businesses. We are eager to put them to work. We also said goodbye to a few valued members and we thank them for their service and wish them well. 2017 will be remembered for the low unemployment rates and the high rate of new employment. There were 1,919 reports of new employment for the year, which are over five hires each day. Although our economy is good and unemployment is low, there is still much work to be done. The future looks bright for our area with plenty of opportunity for skilled workers with a strong work ethic to find excellent employment opportunities. We continue to work toward incorporating the board to provide other funding opportunities to job seekers and businesses.

I would like to thank my fellow board members for their ongoing service our workforce area. I would also like to thank all the staff in our career centers that do the important day to day work of assisting our job seekers and businesses.

Norbert Fuest, GLOW WDB Chairman

Jay Lazarony, GLOW WDB Executive Director Program Year 2017 that ended on June 30, 2018 was another productive period for the job seekers and businesses of GLOW. Over 27,000 customers walked through our six locations and over 500 employers listed nearly 2000 job orders. I would like to express my sincere thanks to the staff in each of our centers that provide the direct service. Losing a job and being underemployed is a very stressful time in life. The professionals in our offices ease the burden that our customers are experiencing. They provide direct services and often make the necessary referral that lead to success for our customers.

One of the biggest challenges that our local area faces is providing a skilled workforce to our employers. The low unemployment rates have reduced the number of job seekers available for employment. GLOW in collaboration with our local Economic Development agencies, Business Education Councils, schools and many area employers have begun an initiative to provide a steady stream of skilled workers. On September 24, 2019 GLOW will hold a “works with their hands” event for every school district in our workforce area. The daylong

event will seek to introduce our youth to the outstanding employment opportunities in Agriculture, Advanced Manufacturing, and the skilled trades. This has been run with great success in the Finger Lakes for over a decade.

I would like to thank our GLOW WDB Chair, Norb Fuest, and the entire GLOW Board for the outstanding work they do helping to shape policy and programs for our area. I congratulate the award recipients honored this

year, as well as the thousands that achieved success through training and employment.

Genesee County Business Recognition Lifetime Assistance Nominated by Genesee County Career Center Lifetime Assistance began in 1978 through the efforts of Donald and Donna Lowry, Nancy Harken and other parents of children with developmental disabilities. They wanted their children to have the highest level of independence possible. With the support of local and state agency leaders and many concerned parent volunteers, Lifetime opened its first day treatment program in November 1978 serving 32 individuals. Forty years later, Lifetime Assistance serves over 1500 people at over 60 sites providing individualized services to help children and adults with developmental disabilities to achieve maximum self-reliance, dignity and sense of purpose in the communities in which they live. Lifetime is now the region’s largest and most comprehensive developmental disabilities service agency. But the focus of Lifetime Assistance remains supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. Lifetime employs

over 1700 people and engages numerous volunteers to support their mission of which 71 reside in Genesee County including the CEO. Nathan Williams, the Human Resources Employee Relations Specialist, is GC Career Center’s direct contact with Lifetime Assistance. Nate has partnered with GC Career Center in a big way. He listed job openings, conducts monthly recruitments, and participates in job fairs, but that’s only the beginning. When they needed an employer to run a workshop on employer expectations for their Transitional Youth Job Fair, they contacted Nate. Without hesitation, he responded, “I’d be honored.” His dynamic personality kept the youth engaged and learning. In addition, he conducted workshops for our Summer Youth Employment participants on how to be successful employees. When they needed someone to speak to our adults on hiring practices and what employers are looking for at their Employer Forums, Nate comes through whenever they have asked him and he approaches everyone with an infectious enthusiasm that never seems to quit. They appreciate all of their employers who recruit and hire their customers, but it is exceptional when an employer is truly a partner in preparing their customers to fill the jobs in the local labor market. Nate Williams and Lifetime Assistance has been that kind of exceptional partner and truly deserves the Genesee County Business Recognition of the Year distinction. Congratulations to Lifetime Assistance!

“It’s truly an honor to be presented with this prestigious award. In all honesty, I feel like I should be honoring you all with an award. It has always been my pleasure to come and work with the staff of the Genesee County Career Center,

helping those in a community that is very near and dear to my heart with finding great and exciting careers with a noble and outstanding organization (Lifetime Assistance Inc.). I have very much enjoyed working with the community’s career

seekers as well as the phenomenal staff of the Genesee County Career Center. I look forward to a fruitful and adventurous continued partnership, helping those seeking fulfilling careers in the community to find them with

Lifetime Assistance Inc.- Nathan Williams, Human Resource Relations Specialist

Genesee County Participant Recognition Jeff Young Nominated by Genesee County Job Development Bureau

Jeff is a former US Marine who after returning home from the service worked at Lapp Insulators in LeRoy, NY and as a mechanic in Batavia, NY at S&S Limousines. In 2009, Jeff was in a horrific motorcycle accident that resulted in many years of corrective medical attention, rehabilitation, and physical therapy, but resulted with no use of his dominant arm. In 2014, Jeff was tired of sitting at home; he saw a commercial for Genesee Community College and decided he wanted to go back to school. When they talked about his nomination he said that he was hesitant about college because he had not been a great student in high school, focusing on sports and other interests instead of grades. He decided to try anyway. Jeff went to the college and took the placement tests and all was going good until they asked him how he planned to pay for school. He worked with the Office of Students with Disabilities on this and they referred him to ACCES VR where Jeff worked with Linda Hesch to get into school. Jeff attended

Genesee Community College and graduated in 2016 with his Associates in Applied Science Degree in Human Services earning the distinction of Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. Jeff wanted to give back and help folks like he had been helped, so he continued on with his education at SUNY Brockport, earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology in 2018. He demonstrated a commitment to success and a determination to help others. If you ask Jeff, he will tell you his goal is to put a smile on someone’s face or make life a little bit easier for them. After graduation and on referral from ACCES VR, he began working with Veronica Frost at Job Development updating his resume concentrating on the internships he had completed and his goals. They practiced interviewing and worked on how to deal with legal and illegal questions about his disability. They combed through Civil Service announcements and job openings and applied for open positions and Civil Service tests. Jeff began employment at the Genesee County Job Development Bureau as a part time Counselor. It was easy to see that Jeff could be a wonderful addition to the team, focusing on assisting clients who have rehabilitation goals. As someone who has been there, he offers reassurance and living proof that if you work hard and are determined, you can overcome your barriers, get back to work, and in Jeff’s case, make a difference in the lives of others. Congratulations to Jeff!

Livingston County Participant Recognition Dylan Peace Nominated by Livingston County Office of Workforce Development

Dylan Peace has been active in programs with Livingston County OWD for over two years. He is a unique client in that has been able to utilize a variety of sources for funding including WIOA Adult, Ticket to Work and even Youth funding. In addition, Dylan has benefited from services provided through ACCESS-VR with assistance in tutoring for the inaugural Precision Machining course through BOCES. Over the past two years Dylan's progression went from a timid client to one that is ready to take the world head on. When he first started, he was working part time at Wegmans but wanted more out of life. He was interested in machining and Livingston County OWD was able to assist in funding him for the first Precision Machining program at BOCES. Dylan secured work at Livingston County's Central Services as a full-time summer laborer where he thrived. Livingston County OWD then recommended this hard-working young man to one of their Job Fair employers, Dairy Farmers of America, where he is currently working as a full-time Machine Operator. Congratulations to Dylan!

Orleans County Participant Recognition Walter Snell, Jr. Nominated by Orleans County Job Development Agency

Walter applied for CDL-A training funding in December 2017. At the time of his application and ISS, he was a parent of 2 children and with a fiancé that was expecting their 3rd child. His family was low income, he was working part time, did not have transportation, and struggling to succeed in life. He was determined to overcome these barriers and become a heavy-duty truck driver to increase his family’s self-sufficiency. Walter’s largest barrier was transportation and he was required to have a way to and from class at PDI Institute prior to approval. He was hoping that he would have a vehicle fixed up by the time class began but it was not working out. He had a friend that was interested in attending CDL-A classes at PDI also, and who had a vehicle that stated he would drive them both to/from classes. Although his friend did not complete the course, he did assist with transportation for a limited time. After Walter’s friend was no longer attending, Walter was without transportation again. He assured me that he would find a way to get to/from class. He was able to borrow a vehicle from family and satisfactorily completed his CDL-A training program and passing his road test. At the time of completing his CDL-A course, Walter had secured a job in the state of Kansas with a trucking company and found a new home in Sharon Springs, Kansas to where his family would be moving. Walter has continued to stay in touch with me through telephone conversations and email without fail. He continues employment at a grain company in Sharon Springs, Kansas working overtime in the season of harvest. He tells me that within a year he will advance to a manager’s position. In spite of extreme barriers, this young man has persisted and broke through those barriers to become successful at a goal that he set forth. Congratulations to Walter!

Wyoming County Participant Recognition Loretta Green Nominated by Wyoming County Community Action

Loretta was a long time employee at Prestolite Electric Inc., in Arcade, NY, working there for over 35 years. She began as a production worker in 1983 and over time had been promoted to a Quality Systems Control Manger. Then in May of 2016 her job was eliminated. At age 53 she was faced with the challenge of starting over and seeking a new career. Loretta came to Community Action in June 2016. Knowing that Prestolite was certified for the Trade Readjustment Assistance Program, Loretta had some options, and she decided to pursue a career as an Administrative Assistant. She began a two year Associates Degree program at Genesee Community College for Medical Administrative Assistant believing that would broaden her career options. Loretta graduated in May 2018 with an A.A.S. and quickly found work as a Processor at Five Star Bank, a temporary position. She recently secured a permanent position at Pioneer Credit in Arcade as a Processor, similar to her position at Five Star. She has since secured full time employment at Pioneer Credit and continues to seek opportunities in the field she was trained. Throughout her program Loretta was committed to doing her best, getting good grades, and taking advantage of the opportunity she’d been given. She is an example that “it’s never too late” to start again. Congratulations to Loretta!

Genesee County Youth Recognition Stephen Gass Nominated by Genesee County Job Development

Stephen came to the Genesee County Career Center in search of work to build his poor work history. It was determined that he had very little previous work experience. He was motivated yet had some barriers to conquer such as not passing the Certified Nurse Aide training in High School, which left him with a very defeated self-esteem. He also had the barrier of not having a NYS license to drive, and obtaining employment was quite difficult as he lived in a rural area and employment was slim. He felt he could never work in the healthcare field. It was determined that he may be eligible for Adult Career and Continuing Education Services Vocational Rehabilitation (ACCES-VR) and with support from the Genesee County Career Center staff and the ACCES-VR YES program, he obtained employment at Batavia Healthcare in the Activities Department. His residents adored him and his commitment was evident. After his enrollment expired, he was accepted into the WIOA Youth Program. His excitement for working in healthcare was re-established and he again wanted to become and Certified Nurse Aide; however, his reading and math scores were low and was unable get into the CNA program. So, he did a work experience at Genesee Premier Nursing Home in Batavia. He studied at Literacy Genesee

where they provided tutoring. He increased his reading and math scores and was able to enroll at Genesee Valley Educational Partnership in the Certified Nurse Aide program. He continued his work with Literacy Genesee while attending CNA training and passed. Stephen’s self- esteem soared and he continues with his “no quit” attitude. He gained employment at Genesee Premier Nursing Home as a CNA where he is still employed. He is currently seeking training options to attend Nursing school and strive towards his dream job that he previously thought was unattainable! Congratulations to Steven!

Livingston County Youth Recognition Joseph Otto Nominated by Livingston County Office of Workforce Development

Joe came through Livingston County Workforce Development as a 21 year old who had never had a job before and wanted help with attaining his High School Equivalency diploma. He relied on his grandparents to take him places and was temporarily working with the Department of Social Services to help support himself. He was a perfect candidate for our WIOA Young Adult Employment Program. He was very reliable and followed instructions well. In November of 2016 he passed the TASC test the first time around and earned his High School Equivalency Diploma. He sent us a thank you note for supporting him to earn his HSE diploma. In May, 2017 he completed a 16-week training through Genesee Valley Educational Partnership for Precision Machining and CNC Fundamentals. Tuition for this course was covered through WIOA Adult and ACCES- VR. He then got his driver permit and received driving lessons through ACCES- VR. After passing his driving test, he started working full time in November, 2017 at Gunlocke through Remedy Staffing. After 90 days he became a direct hire of Gunlocke. He is now self-sufficient and was able to buy a truck of his own. Congratulations to Joe!

Orleans County Youth Recognition Valentina Ruiz-Jakes Nominated by Orleans County Job Development Agency

Valentina entered Orleans Job Development Agency this past January having just arrived from Florida where she had spent the winter living with friends and family. She was homeless, had no money or transportation, and wanted a job. Valentina is no stranger to the WIOA Youth program. Her first WIOA Youth enrollment was in 2011 when she participated in the 2012 Summer Upward Bound program. She has received services in the WIOA Youth program or TANF summer youth employment since 2011. Throughout her teen years she traveled from NY to Florida frequently, graduating in 2015 from Desoto High School in Florida. Valentina was enrolled as a 2017 WIOA out of school Youth with goals of a paid work experience in childcare and related services according to her needs. Valentina began her work experience at a daycare in Medina on 2/7/2018. This site was close to where she was living so she could walk, was in line with her career goals in child development and childcare and would give her income to increase her self-sufficiency. Valentina received WIOA Youth services at this time in budgeting, managing Career Zone and supportive services as well as others. While at the daycare, she received important feedback and correction from her supervisor regarding tardiness. When I learned that Valentina was late to work a few times, it was realized she was in need of guidance and counseling services for life skills such as focus, self-control and critical thinking. She received an updated ISS with simple goals and objectives: obtaining an alarm clock,

completing Career Zone and update her budget. With most of those goals achieved, and moving forward, Valentina began a new work experience at the Medina Railroad Museum and completed her WIOA work experience there very successfully! She assisted with the Thomas the Train Event this past summer, which aligned nicely with her goals of early childhood development and childcare. She cleaned retired firefighter helmets that line the interior of the museum and weeded the flower garden, painted, and performed other housekeeping duties. Upon completion of her paid work experience, Valentina decided to move to Arizona and take up an offer of housing from a cousin and look for work. She has found part time unsubsidized employment as a Cafeteria lunch aide at a Charter School, received her driver’s license, and has enrolled at Glendale community college for Education K-12. She is currently interviewing for other part time positions that align with her early childhood development goals. Congratulations to Valentina!

Wyoming County Youth Recognition

Christopher Logue Nominated by Wyoming County Community Action Christopher enrolled in the year round program in March of 2018 while facing some personal struggles and issues with transportation making it difficult for him to secure employment. Shortly after his enrollment, it was obvious that Christopher was going to be a challenge but not for the typical reasons the program usually comes across. You see, there were no behavioral issues or lack of motivation to be concerned about, instead there was just a brilliant mind struggling to secure employment in a rural area with limited opportunity for a career path in Computer Science. After spending some time volunteering with Christopher and getting to understand his self-taught passion for Computer Information Systems and Artificial Intelligence, the challenge came into play to select a location for work placement.

Although there are many great job opportunities and career paths offered in Wyoming County, it was easy to see that Christopher’s innovative mind was more suited for the Technological world of the Silicon Valley. This is where we explored the State University of New York Advanced Technology Training and Information Networking Lab. This state of the art technology lab offers an assortment of academic, occupational, and employability courses geared to introduce participants through advanced training or a high-demanding technological world. The SUNY ATTAIN Lab quickly became a worksite for Christopher and per the Labs request, allowed him to provide numerous recommendations regarding the content and delivery of various trainings, along with suggestions to improve efficiencies in some of their technology systems offered to the public. During his time with the SUNY ATTAIN Lab, Christopher also obtained several Microsoft Technology Associate Certifications that included Database Administration Fundamentals, Networking Fundamentals, Security Fundamentals and HTML5. After completing his work experience, Christopher applied and was hired on as the Junior NET Developer in charge of developing Quality Assurance Applications for Crimcheck Holdings, LLC out of Brunswick, OHIO. A company who was recently placed on Inc. Magazines top 500 fastest growing companies in the Country. Christopher now works from the comfort of his home providing the same sense of duty to Crimcheck Holdings that he offered during his work experience at the Perry SUNY ATTAIN Lab, and we are confident that he will continue to do so for years to come. Congratulations to Christopher!

In 2017 the Youth Committee was renamed to The Emerging Worker Committee. We welcomed several new partners to help shape youth programs across the four counties of GLOW. During the course of 2017 GLOW served 115 youth of which 57% of them participated in either an employer based training or a classroom training to enhance their skills. 2017 became the first year that local areas received performance data based on the primary Indicators of WIOA. GLOW exceeded all the measures including employment in the second and fourth quarter after exit. GLOW achieved a median earning wage for youth that was ahead of the statewide average by over $800 per youth. As the program year ended in June, the GLOW Board approved a Special Funding policy to allow for additional funds to be spent on youth for classroom trainings, employer based training, and supportive services all in an effort to provide additional services to our emerging worker. I would like to welcome Mr. Timothy Anderson as the new Chair of the Emerging Worker committee. I would like to thank my fellow committee members for their hard work and dedication to our youth and future workforce.
