b. Mike Robinson introduced Mike Albert Carsey, Administrator for Worksource

in Auburn, WA. Carsey talked about how Joint Base Lewis and McCord (JBLM) is working to launch a partnership with Worksource. He talked about the changes that have emerged from the National Veterans Training Institute (NVTI) and the 3 courses offered by means of eLearning and 1 course that is offered in Dallas, TX. Carsey explained how the courses are designed to support and train staff so they are equipped to engage and serve Veterans when they return from service. He discussed the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program (DVOP) which aids Veterans with significant barriers to employment. The DVOP program requires that 50% of Veterans are entered into case management. He highlighted the Yes Vets program that recognizes employers who hire Veterans. The Yes Vets program does well with bumper sticker marketing and currently has 550 + employers engaged with 1,980 hires. The program connects with employers via Linkedin and they further work to assist job seekers in maintaining professional profiles. Carsey explained the SWOT Analysis to include its strength of having motivated staff and its weaknesses being the difficulty with integration, due to no supportive service funding. Explanation was given on the 2.7% Veteran unemployment rate, the lowest national rate since 2020. Carsey stated that Veterans ages 18-24 are a challenged group with many returning to school. Mike introduced Dennis Brown from Building 9 in Port Orchard. Dennis ran the Veterans program in King county before coming to Kitsap county. Dennis shared the WDVA Fast Facts handout. The handout showed the services offered by the Washington Department of Veteran Affairs (WDVA). He explained how Building 9 is a (GDP) Grant Per Diem Program. Only 3 states have a GDP; Washington, Wisconsin and California. The GDP provides a 60-bed facility at Building 9. Of those beds, 40 of them are reserved for intensive case management. Building 9 also includes a separate woman’s wing. A veteran’s stay at building 9 is dependent on trauma. Some can find housing within 120 days, others require intensive support and need 1-2 years. Dennis explained the importance of partnerships which help to keep Building 9 thriving These include; Worksource, Department of Licensing and Kitsap Bank. Building 9 transports residents to American Lake to receive medical and psychiatric treatment. He discussed the Bridge Program and the need for affordable housing. He concluded with tax break incentives for Veteran owned businesses.

c. Mike Robinson introduced Chad Hutchins, Local Veterans Employment

Representative for Worksource Kitsap. Chad works with employers, connecting veterans to jobs. Chad explained the supportive services offered including teaching interview skills and building resumes. He explained the services that are offered to employers. One service is a tailored meeting designed to find out exactly what skill set a company needs, to best match potential veterans with these jobs. They further offer advertising and marketing for the company.

d. Mike introduced Nancy Zeller’s, retired Marine Corps Veteran and Outreach Case Manager, Worksource Kitsap. She discussed outreach efforts which include getting many veterans from rural areas to attend Stand Downs twice a year. Mike McEvoy is a leading Champion in this area for veterans and a great resource. She discussed the partnership with Maritime Solutions. Their current efforts are focused on getting more veterans involved in the Maritime industry.

e. An award was presented from the YES VETS program for Hiring Veterans.

7. DISCUSSION

a. OLYMPIC CONTRUCTION PARTNERSHIP A partnership with the Construction Center of Excellence will enhance the focus on internship in the sector.

b. HEALTHCARE SURVEY Elizabeth Court announced that the survey had been completed but by request of the Olympic Consortium Board, additional research will be conducted in this sector.

c. CAREER CONNECTED LEARNING Through the STEM Partnership the Career Connected Learning grant was applied for. This grant will assist out of school youth.

8. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Monica Blackwood recapped on the main items of discussion to include The Olympic Construction Partnership, Healthcare Survey, and Career Connected Learning. She stated that the committee went in depth on the Healthcare Survey, mainly stating that the results of the survey were not surprising but that ultimately it was decided that there needed to be more input from industry professionals.

9. OPPERATIONS COMMITTEE Margaret Hess gave updates on the focus of integrated service delivery and the goal of getting people back to work as seamlessly as possible. She further mentioned the importance of keeping track of all the good work they do. Margaret reviewed the WIOA Performance Report and discussed federal allocations, contract accuracy and being on target with expenditures. She highlighted the increasing stability of the economy, where more people are getting off public assistance and returning to work. She concluded that the majority of current client base are those with multiple barriers.

10. ECONOMIC COMMITTEE Jim McKenna discussed services offered to employers including hiring events and job fairs. He discussed the Annual Awareness Forum, highlighting the awareness of disabilities was being sponsored by the Department of the Navy.

Review of WorkSource Employer Services:

Mike Robinson provided overview of WDA1 LMI and available dashboards for public review noting Clallam had a slight decrease in unemployment from 6.2 to 5.9, while Jefferson rose from 5.5 to 5.7 and Kitsap remained unchanged at 4.6. Mike noted new tech trend “Uber Eats launching in Kitsap and how this might affect traditional food delivery services from the foodservice businesses, particular with youth and part-time workers.

Dashboards available at https://esd.wa.gov/labormarketinfo/WorkSource-system-performance with ability to drill down WDA region and state overview for jobseekers and employers served including exits and wages.

Local efforts and Updates WorkSource Business Service Staff:

Hildo Rodriguez discussed Kitsap county outreach efforts and recap of hiring events and highlights. Also provided a preview of WorkSource Kitsap’s “Hot Jobs” listing to members and discussed how to provide this service as an additional service to listing positions and the added benefits of conducting the Hot Jobs. Also highlighted Ability Awareness Event which was partnered with Department of Vocational Rehabilitation and Department of the Navy, Office of Civilian Human Resources and the Olympic Workforce Development Council staffs contributions. Julie Hath posed question of bringing event to Clallam. Mike Robinson reminded that the Department of the Navy as the driver of the event and would discuss with the Ability Awareness Team and look at options for future events that weren’t contingent ion federal employment. Many of the employers were federal hiring managers learning about Schedule A noncompetitive employment. The event also highlighted “live resumes” from all the participants and a reverse job fair held. To date 4 participants have been offered positions.

Hildo Rodriguez discussed upcoming hiring event with the Department of the Navy Naval Facilities Northwest where DON staff look to hire over 125 positions in skilled and trades positions for Naval Subbase Bangor, Indian Island, Evert, and Keyport. The flyer was provided in the handouts. Dave McMahon recommended the addition of Background and Drug testing requirements which most understand as a requirement. Mike Robinson informed that the Navy’s Public Affairs Officer approved the flyer based on the contributions from the employer and noted it would be passed along to the employer for future events. This prompted discussion on background checks and employer incentives. Julie Tappero recommended bringing in a speaker on the subjects and most members of the group echoed this request. Mike Robinson agreed to request a speaker on background checks, Bonding, WOTC programs. Larry Eyers discussed bring in someone who helps with removal of barriers. Monica Blackwood suggested bringing in employers or perhaps SHRM to discuss how employers can utilize some of the WorkSource and Employment Security Department incentives and educate employers. Mike informed that as Operator he is working with the Business Service teams to develop an employer forum where this topic can be shared, but that is was also a good idea to bring to the committee meeting as a topic. Both Larry Eyer and Monica Blackwood pitched the idea of developing a subcommittee to work on removal of barriers for jobseekers and educating employers on the certain needs from barriers that jobseekers have and help develop methods to remove barriers. This concept was welcomed by all and opposed by none. Mike accepted role to facilitate and bring group together and would extend full committee invitation after the committee meetings. Jim McKenna recommended moving back onto agenda to allow time to finish. Patrice Valero – Daylo provided an overview of her outreach efforts with Clallam and Jefferson County WorkSource offices. Discussed several hiring events which only had 12 participants. Discussed upcoming UPS hiring event at WorkSource Port Townsend which is looking for space to accommodate the event. Robin Hake offered to look into the county availability for resources. The issues is the cost. Jim McKenna mentioned it’s the council’s duty to assist the WorkSource System and to fall back on them as needed, all concurred. Patrice mentioned that wages appeared stale, and Monica mentioned as an employer they conduct LMI and make offers contingent upon the economy LMI and employee’s skill sets. Wages are lower compared to similar occupations compared to high dense populations such as Seattle-King County. Review of WDA1 Employer and Customer Satisfaction Survey: Information not available as account payment was not paid as staff thought this was a fraudulent activity and it took some time to reinstate and fund the account. Data was being collected but unable to retrieve the data until payment received. Mike discussed that this should be resolved within a week and be available at next meeting.

Other WorkSource Economic Development Committee Business:

Special guest Cecile Bamer, Outreach Coordinator for Construction Center of Excellence was scheduled to speak but had to change plans. Reschedule TBD. It was mentioned that perhaps introduction to the Next Gen Construction Sector initiative would be beneficial.

KCR

Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for Rapid Response Additional Assistance due to not receiving tuition bills until PY17 Q2. Expenditures are on track to spend out by the end of Q2.

Youth Committee Meeting Notes

Tuesday, November 14, 2017 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

Introductions: Sarah Oliver (OWDC Program Supervisor replacing Bob Potter) chaired the meeting, since the previous Chairperson of the committee has resigned from the OWDC. Self‐introductions were made, and the sign‐in sheet circulated.

Approval of Agenda: The agenda was approved with no additions.

Meeting Notes: The meeting notes from September 12, 2017 were approved by vote.

Discussion/Action Item(s):

There was a brief review of the recent Career Connected Learning Grant application that was submitted by the OWDC and WestSound STEM Network. There ensued a general discussion of the current focus on Apprenticeships, internships, and other career connected learning opportunities. Several people noted that there are a number of cultural and economic shifts that have resulted in young workers with inadequate exposure to the world of work, as well as employers who are struggling to engage and retain qualified workers. The group discussed a number of trends, including the high cost of turnover/attrition for employers, new ways of making hiring decisions, the ‘generation gap’ caused by a small Generation X sandwiched between the Baby Boom and the Millenials, the mismatch between employers who cut training budgets during the Recession and current employees who seek and highly value growth opportunities, and the rapid culture changes we are seeing around diversity and inclusion. The group also noted the emerging workforce of Generation Z, and that today’s workforce is less interested in ‘work/life balance’ and more in creating ‘quality of work life.’

The Youth Committee is interested in finding a way to engage local employers in creating more effective organizations by addressing some of these challenges, and asked if the OWDC can provide logistical support to convene a Forum addressing these goals. The Committee would like to invite speakers from a number of perspectives (Business, Post Secondary Training providers, Workforce, Education), and invite employers from the OWDA to attend. Aschlee Drescher offered to support by recruiting like‐minded business leaders, both to encourage attendance and also to speak or lead sessions at the event. Sarah Oliver will research the availability of grant funds to support such a Forum.

Youth Employment Program Update

Attachment 5.a

20

Although no new Quarterly Report has been issued since the September meeting, Jeff Allen did provide a brief update on the WIOA Youth Pathways program, noting that enrollment, completion, and job placement goals are on‐track.

Other Business

Jeff Allen gave a brief update on progress toward the launch of OESD’s first YouthBuild class. This (US Department of Labor) $1.1 million grant will allow OESD to serve 30 youth per year for two years, providing case management, leadership and community service experiences, construction training/pre‐apprenticeship certification, GED/HS Completion, and homebuilding experiences. Youth complete the program in 6‐9 month, with the goal of job placement and/or employment, and receive a year of follow up support after exit. Staff have been hired for the case management, program management, and construction coordination roles, and recruitment of youth has begun. Anticipated start of the first cohort will be January 2018. Jeff noted that he will be asking for support of the OWDC members in connecting with local employers to provide support, serving on the Advisory Committee and providing internships and other work experiences for graduating YouthBuilders.

Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 10:30 AM. Next meeting is February 13, 2017, at Fort Warden Commons. Agenda will include nomination of a new Chairperson for the Youth Committee.

• Contracts and Budget Reporting Elizabeth stated that Sarah is the contracts expert and that there is nothing new to report.

• Quarterly Data Elizabeth covered (attachment 9.1) state data showing 64,355 total job seekers served. The Olympic Workforce Development Area is the second smallest of the WDAs. The Efforts to Outcomes system is projected to be replaced with hopes of having the new system roll out in 18 months.

• Revitalization of Apprenticeship Programs Sarah Oliver discussed career connected learning. She spoke about a mini grant which would allow access to apprenticeship. Using apprenticeship models, Matt King from Fair Start a nonprofit in Seattle launched an apprenticeship with 5 new eateries. This program included class room learning and pairing in-house with a one-year apprenticeship. The idea is growing access to apprenticeships in a new way and approved by labor and industries to address unique barriers.

• Draft Performance Report Elizabeth covered the last quarter report (attachment 12.1) overall, the Olympic Educational Service District is above schedule.

• In 2008 Kaiser Permanente conducted research on manifestations of chronicillnesses later in life. The research was conducted on 17,000 individuals widespread with varying demographics. The study covered adverse childhoodexperiences; abuse, neglect and dysfunction. It was discovered that there isa direct correlation between exposure to adverse childhood experiences andmajor health problems later in life.

b. Joy Lyle from the Washington State Extension Peninsula Region, gave a presentation on sociological perception, culturally accepted norms and transitions to adulthood over the decades.

• Discussion was held on the, “markers” of adulthood; license, job, college, moving out of parent’s home, having children. These were considered outcomes of successful transitions to adulthood. She went on to paint the current picture of a society whose markers have become less standardized. Behaviors have changed but values have not. Generations are now staying at home longer with wage stagnation affecting their ability to move on. She discussed risk factors with the ability to achieve positive and normal outcomes. In conclusion she advocated for the need to make pathways to adulthood be less obscure, create opportunities and respect diverse pathways.

c. Heather Hutchins from the Veterans Completion Program Western

Washington University, explained the pathways that are available here in the Peninsulas, expansion of programs and multi-disciplinary degrees.

• The Multi-Disciplinary degree offers the availability to combine a variety of credits into a degree, which she explained has become popular with the veteran’s population. Once a veteran’s GI Bill has run out, they can apply for the multi-disciplinary degree and have fees waived.

d. Sarah Oliver, Equal Employment Officer from the Olympic Workforce

Development, discussed the effectiveness of sexual harassment training. • Discussed the importance of having management that represented diversity

and inclusiveness, as well as appropriate responses and clear expectations. She discussed the ability to extrapolate a solution by evaluating whether behavior was a pattern, or would awareness solve the issue. Training she concluded was more effective if tailored to the environment, is interactive and commitment by leadership to follow through.

e. Elizabeth Laukea from the Washington Secretary of State’s Office along with

Washington State library staff, discussed opportunities available through the library system.

• Classes being offered included coding and Microsoft certifications. There was an announcement for spring study sessions through Lynda.com with approximately 600 courses to choose from. There was discussion on local libraries being the appropriate place to introduce individuals to Worksource along with highlighting One Stops which are available in 17 libraries in Washington State.

7. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Julie Tappero announced that the Executive Committee Report was available in the agenda packet. Due to time restraints, the council was encouraged to read the notes at their convenience.

8. OPPERATIONS COMMITTEE Margaret Hess gave updates on applicants served. A total of 651 in Q1. She discussed the lack of licensed day care available for parents who are trying to transition off TANF. Larry Eyer included that the federal income levels need to be increased so that working parents at or right above poverty level can still qualify for these services such as day care that help them continue towards a path of self-sufficiency. Margaret continued with her discussion of focus on transitions, reducing barriers and being involved in the high schools. Mike Robinson is working with CTE programs to have the Worksource connection known and available to leverage resources for individuals.

9. ECONOMIC COMMITTEE Jim McKenna discussed employer services and the true impact of hires being an unknown variable. He talked about the May 2nd Youth Job Fair and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) federal hiring efforts. He announced the March 28th Public Sector hiring event to be held at Kitsap County fairgrounds.

Approval of November 14, 2017 Summary: the summary was approved as written.

Discussion Items:


The ISD co-enrollments are increasing steadily as staff become more familiar with the process. Future updates will be provided as the enrollments enter into the federal performance measures.



ESD

Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for WIOA Adult and WIOA DW in Kitsap and Jefferson, and Rapid Response Additional Assistance due to not receiving the tuition bills for obligated funds until the end of the month after the end of the quarter.

Exits were below 85% of Planned for WIOA Adult in Clallam due to customers plans being extended (customers are finding it requires more time to complete and or return to work due to availability). Clallam County residents continue to experience high unemployment rates (7% in December 2017) resulting in slow reemployment. It is hopeful that this will improve as the cyclical nature of the “slow season” improves. WIOA DW in Kitsap, Clallam & Jefferson Counties all continue to lag in exits and placements as well, due to unexpected delays in school completion resulting in extended plans for school and delayed start dates for those awaiting employment. Addition of new staff person with WIOA in Kitsap will assist greatly in meeting annual goals. Staff expects the exits to be in compliance in the 4th quarter of PY 17 (4/1/2018 to 6/30/2018).

Attachment 3.a

OESD Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for WIOA YouthWorks in Kitsap County due to staff changes early in the project. The unexpended staff dollars have allowed 3 additional youth to participate in the program. Funds have been allocated to support the additional participant’s hourly wage, certifications, and supportive services. In addition, youth who are currently working are paid two weeks into the new quarter.

Washington State and Olympic WDC WorkSource System Performance Dashboards: • Total seekers served in Q2 increased by 29% over Q1 (a 25% increase in self-service

customers, and a 54% increase in staff-assisted customers); • Total employers using WorkSource decreased slightly by 13% from Q1 to Q2; as did total

job orders (decreased from 1,468 job orders in Q1 to 1,458 job orders in Q2) • Finally, the top industry sectors posting jobs dropped “Retail Trade” and “Construction”

identified in Q1 and added “Educational Services” and “Manufacturing” in Q2.

WorkSource Systems Policies and Procedures Update: Process change: OC staff will report changes to local WIOA policies to the Operations Committee members when revisions are required. PY 17 WIOA Monitoring Report Review: No findings or questioned costs were identified during the review, and all items to address were resolved prior to the issuance of the Management Letter. However, the state monitors did request that the OWDC expand the scope of the sub-recipient monitoring in the next monitoring cycle:

• Ensure that youth staff records the required services at participation (Objective Assessment and WIOA Development of IEP);

• Ensure that staff is recording services in ETO at the time of the delivery of services or within 14 calendar days;

• Ensure that staff is recording a program enrollment dated the same date as the date of the first qualifying service;

• Ensure that staff is recording all services provided to the participants in ETO on the dates those services were provided; and

• Ensure that staff provides documentation in the file that supports the training met the participant’s self-sufficiency needs.

OWDC Roster: asked Committee members to contact WDC staff if aware of any businesses interested in joining the OWDC. Other Business: none.

Attachment 4.c.

Attachment 4.e

13

The OWDC has reviewed the WIOA Dislocated Worker local policies of five other WDC’s and arrived at the following proposed changes to the OWDC’s WIOA Dislocated Worker definitions for "Unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation" and "Self-Sufficiency".

1. “Unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation”

WIOA definition for DW Category 1:

1. General Dislocation1.1 An individual who was terminated, laid off, or received a notice of termination or

layoff. AND1.2 Is determined unlikely to return to previous industry or occupation as defined in local

WDC policy; AND1.3.1 Is eligible for or has exhausted entitlement to unemployment compensation;OR1.3.2 Is not eligible for unemployment compensation but can show attachment to theworkforce of sufficient duration.

The OWDC’s current definition of “unlikely to return to previous industry or occupation” is:

A worker who is “unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation” is evidenced by the previous industry or occupation being in decline as shown on the Olympic Workforce Development Council's Demand/Declining Occupations List. However, there may be workers who are unlikely to return to their previous occupation if it is shown that without any upgrading of skills they are unlikely to return despite the overall state of their previous occupation being in demand. This situation must be documented in the case notes and reasons given for why skills need to be upgraded in order to gain employment in the previous occupation.

The OWDC’s proposed definition of “unlikely to return to previous industry or occupation” is:

Status of an unemployed worker as having limited opportunities for employment or re-employment. This could include personal and/or confidential information and needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Examples include but are not limited to: (1) The industry and/or occupation is in decline based on local labor market information or the

job has become obsolete. (2) The individual’s wage from their job of dislocation is significantly higher than local labor

market information indicates. (3) The individual is considered long-term unemployed, defined as 27 or more consecutive weeks

of being unemployed. (4) The individual is not able to work in another capacity in the occupation or industry from

which s/he was dislocated because of physical or mental limitations. An individual may have started out in an industry performing physically or mentally demanding jobs but is no longer

Attachment 4.f

17

capable of performing the essential requirements of the job or is no longer able to report to work due to the environment of the industry.

(5) The individual is not able to work in another capacity in the occupation or industry from which he or she was dislocated because of a legal issue that creates a barrier to employment specifically in that occupation or industry.

(6) When the individual learned their occupation, a college degree or specialized certification was not required and they learned on the job. However, in the current labor market, employers recruit for individuals who have a specific degree or certification in addition to experience.

2. “Self-sufficiency”

The local DW definition of “self-sufficiency” is used by the OWDC to determine whether anemployed worker needs training services to obtain or retain employment and is currentlydefined as follows:

Self-sufficiency for a dislocated worker when determining whether an employed workerneeds training services to obtain or retain employment is the long-term prospect of aworker being able to make at least 80% of their pre-layoff wage. Ask WDC staff forguidance in setting criteria for determining self-sufficiency regarding the special needsof individuals with disabilities or other barriers.

The OWDC’s proposed definition of “self-sufficiency” is:

Stop-gap employment is temporary work an individual accepts only because they have been laidoff or terminated from the customary work for which their training, experience, and/or workhistory qualifies them. Stop-gap employment must be temporary in nature with the intent to endemployment upon completion of training, obtaining self-sufficient employment, or as specified inthe individual employment plan (IEP).

Typically, stop-gap employment will pay less than the individual’s wage of self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency for Dislocated Workers is defined by the OWDC as employment which provides theworker a wage that is equal to or greater than 80% of his/her wage at the time of separation.However, there may be specific circumstances where stop-gap employment does provide a self-sufficient wage but is not considered permanent employment that leads to self-sufficiency, e.g.contract employment or employment obtained through a temporary employment servicesagency. Additionally, the special needs of individuals with disabilities or other barriers toemployment should be taken into account when determining if employment leads to self-sufficiency. These circumstances should be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

An otherwise eligible dislocated worker remains eligible if either prior to or during DWparticipation, stop-gap employment is obtained for the purpose of income maintenance. Ifdislocation from a stop-gap position occurs, the job of dislocation remains the original job thatestablished the self-sufficient income. If, at any time, an individual obtains employment thatmeets the OWDC’s definition of self-sufficiency, including a scenario where the employmentperiod exceeds OWDC-established criteria for temporary employment, then that position wouldbe considered the self-sufficient job of dislocation in the event of a future dislocation.

Patrice Valero – daylo discussed Clallam and Jefferson County efforts with several new employers registering. With a large amount of resources being dedicated to the upcoming Clallam County Hiring event for 2018, noting a job seeker “Boot Camp” for preparing job seekers. The boot camp will be stretched over a 6 week period utilizing resources from private sector and nonprofits along with WorkSource employment services. Patrice mentioned to date over 60 employers had registered and agreed to participate.

Patrice also discussed local outreach events conducted to the local high schools, and conducted several events with DVR to prepare students for the Clallam County Job Fair. Also noted reverse hiring event scheduled for April/May for Port Angeles high School, more to come.

Patrice provided a narrative for some of the hiring events which took place in the QTR noting UPS, serving 45 job seekers attended and 28 were provided offers. Crestwood Health and Rehab and Sequim Health and Rehab, combined events drew 24 job seekers and 11 were provided offers.

Patrice discussed concerns based on conversations with employers who have drug testing as a contingency for job offers noting a high number of employers reporting difficulty in applicants passing the screening process. This prompted discussion on background checks and testing, noting the challenges employers face. Monica Blackwood suggested bringing in SHRM to discuss how HR and staffing can provide best practices. Housing was discussed as a factor by Kelly Fox, noting this was also an emphasis discussed in the Construction Sector work. Mike supported and acknowledge this topic. For sake of order and time Jim McKenna moved to table the discussions.

Review of Olympic WorkSource System Performance Dashboards: Dashboards available at https://esd.wa.gov/labormarketinfo/WorkSource-system-performance with ability to drill down WDA region and state overview for jobseekers and employers served including exits and wages. PY 2017 Q2 report indicates a slight decrease in employers engaged on WorkSourceWA.com yet with job orders and employers receiving staff assisted services were virtually unchanged. Likely due to holiday hiring. No concerns from committee, Monica asked about the high demand for healthcare and what types of positions were reflected in the report. Mike and Hildo both concurred in home healthcare and CNA’s were a large part of this factor. Monica also asked about the unionization of these positions and weather it would impact the occupation. No subject matter expert to weigh in, however based on previous companies both Hildo and Patrice work with the short answer was yes. Will keep this subject open for OWDC Healthcare Sector work begins.

WWA Marketing and Branding: Mike reports that efforts are underway by ESD to provide $225k investment into WorkSource Business Service advertising campaign to be followed by a job seeker campaign with another budget of $225k. ESD is working closely with the WWA for maximum input on the campaigns for design and messaging. Mike discussed the effort for a new landing page for businesses and would provide a preview at next OWDC meeting in May.

https://esd.wa.gov/labormarketinfo/WorkSource-system-performance

Further work discussed with the WWA revolved around productivity of workgroup and WWA director’s expectations to include a work plan, brand standards, protocols for processes and new work. Also the discussion of launching a WorkSource Base Camp, where all WorkSource staff can go to retrieve and utilize all branding and marketing material. Another topic was shifting the social media monitoring authority from ESD to each WDA’s Marketing and Branding Designee. ESD will continue to support the establishment of accounts to maintain consistency.

Other WorkSource Economic Development Committee Business: Mike informed committee that WorkSource will be participating in all 3 counties homebuilder spring shows. Mike noted recommendation from WorkSource Clallam Supervisor on considering participation in the Port Angeles Home Show as well.

Operations Committee Summary May 8, 2018



Approval of February 13, 2018 Summary: the summary was approved as written.

Discussion Items:


The ISD co-enrollments are increasing steadily. Committee members reviewed the WSESD “Recognizing Strong Performance” for an example of the impact ISD has on WIOA Adult and Dislocated Worker enrollment and employment.



Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for WIOA Adult and WIOA DW in Kitsap, Clallam, and Jefferson, and Rapid Response Additional Assistance due to not receiving the tuition bills for obligated funds until the end of the month after the end of the quarter. Exits were below 85% of Planned for WIOA Adult in Kitsap due to customers not yet completing their final school quarter (30 CNA students will complete training in June and most have jobs lined up). Exits were below 85% of Planned for WIOA Adult in Jefferson, but unable to reach service provider for an explanation.

WIOA DW in Kitsap, Clallam & Jefferson Counties all continue to lag in exits and placements as well, due to unexpected delays in school completion resulting in extended plans for school and delayed start dates for those awaiting employment. Addition of new staff person with WIOA in Kitsap will assist greatly in meeting annual goals. Staff expects the exits to be in compliance in the 4th quarter of PY 17 (4/1/2018 to 6/30/2018).

KCR

Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for WIOA Adult and WIOA DW due to a delay in receiving the fully executed PY 17 amendment until the beginning of quarter 3, which

Attachment 8.b.

35

in turn took time for staff to move forward with spending those funds. However, the funds that were tentatively committed for Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) in Q3 will now be spent in Q4. KCR anticipates being in compliance (above 90% of expenditures) by the end of the program year.

Rapid Response Additional Assistance expenditures were below 90% of Planned because the final invoice has not yet been submitted to the OWDC for reimbursement.

OESD

The expenditures were above 90% of Planned for WIOA Youth, and all performance indicators were above 85% of Planned.

Washington State and Olympic WDC WorkSource System Performance Dashboards:

Reviewed the dashboards and discussed the following:

• Total seekers served in Q3 increased by 2% over Q2• Total employers using WorkSource increased by 8% from Q2 to Q3; as did total

job orders by 2%• Finally, the top industry sectors posting jobs dropped “Educational Services”

identified in Q2 and added “Construction” in Q3.


OWDC staff proposed a change to the current local definition for “unlikely to return to a previous industry or occupation” is intended to broaden and clarify the definition. For example, the current definition disqualifies clients who can no longer work in a previous industry or occupation due to health reasons or criminal history, and the proposed new definition allows for those exceptions.

The proposed change to the current local definition for “self-sufficiency” maintains the initial definition, but expands the definition to include “stop-gap” employment. Defining “stop-gap” employment assists the service provider in determining whether or not the client qualifies for training services.

The proposal was accepted unanimously by the Operations Committee.

Inclusion of WIOA Title II (Adult Education and Literacy) and WIOA Title IV (Vocational Rehabilitation) Performance in Operations Committee Reporting:

36

Discussed including WIOA Title II and Title IV performance in Operations Committee reporting.

Traditionally, the Operations Committee reviews the reports of two of the four core WIOA partner programs (WIOA Title I Formula – Adult, Youth, & Dislocated Workers; and WIOA Title III – the Wagner-Peyser Act).

As part of the required One Stop partner programs, the OWDC would like to include a review of the reports of the two additional core WIOA partner programs (WIOA Title II - Adult Education and Literacy; and WIOA Title IV - Vocational Rehabilitation [DVR]).

Staff from the OWDC will be contacting the colleges and DVR within the next two months to request reports on an ongoing basis for Title II and Title IV to be reviewed by the Operations Committee beginning at the September 11, 2018 meeting.

The members approved requesting WIOA Title II and Title IV performance reports for review.

PY 17 WIOA Monitoring Report Review:

The Management Letter for the PY 17 WIOA Monitoring Report was reviewed at the last meeting, which officially closed the PY 17 WIOA Monitoring.

August 2017 Region 6 of the U.S. Department of Labor Employment and Training Administration (DOL) Monitoring Review:

The Department of Labor (DOL) conducted an on-site and desk monitoring review in August of Washington’s WIOA Title I and III formula grants including local workforce development board’s One Stop operator (OSO) procurement processes.

In November 2017, DOL issued a letter listing the findings for the State of Washington. DOL indicated in the letter that it had found issues with 8 of the 12 Local Workforce Development Board’s procurement processes for OSO.

A letter from DOL in February 2018 stated that specifically, the OWDC’s requirement that an entity have previously operated WIOA or WIA programs to be a responsive bidder to OWDC’’s competitive procurement violates 2 CFR 200.319(a), placing unreasonable requirements on firms in order for them to qualify to do the business.

37

Since the OWDC made a good faith effort to comply with the requirement that an OSO be procured, ESD did not disallow WIOA funding for the OSO for the current Program Year. However, ESD is requiring that the OWDC reprocure for an OSO for the upcoming program year (PY 18) per DOL’s corrective action directive.

More information was provided at the full council meeting on this subject.

OWDC Roster: asked Committee members to contact WDC staff if aware of any businesses interested in joining the OWDC.

David Wunderlin expressed potential of wage inflation and employers should consider increasing wages to entice more job seekers to apply. Yet others such as Robin Hake considered transportation and childcare as issue which most agreed a combination of these barriers all factor.

Operations Committee Summary

September 11, 2018



Approval of May 8, 2018 Summary: the summary was approved as written.

Discussion Items:

a. Outreach Efforts –

Discussed the receipt of funds to provide re-entry services in partnership with the S’Klallam Tribe and the Kitsap County Jail:

• WorkSource staff are participating in Re-entry taskforce with the S’Klallam Tribe Re-entry services

• The One-Stop Operator (OSO) is working with the Silverdale Chamber and S’KlallamRe-entry for a presentation to the Silverdale Chamber and the Kitsap Business Forum(the overall theme and vision is “Impact, Invest & Influence”; the intent of thispresentation is to develop business support for Re-Entry individuals)

• On September 2, WorkSource staff will begin to deliver Pre-release services at theKitsap County Jail, in partnership with the S’Klallam Re-entry program. WorkSourcestaff will develop a post-release workshop component

• Developing WorkSource System information sessions to Correctional staff.

b. Integrated Service Delivery (ISD) Update –

Reported that the ISD co-enrollments for PY 17 Quarter 4 were 991 for WIOA Adult

(excludes the 341 participants enrolled into a WIOA Adult full enrollment), and 308 for

WIOA Dislocated Worker (excludes the 258 participants enrolled into a WIOA Dislocated

Worker full enrollment).

c. Olympic Performance Report PY 17 Quarter 4 –


• Expenditures were below 90% of Planned for all service providers in some counties

for two reasons:

Attachment 3.a

18

1) Not all closeout invoices had been received; and

2) Due to not receiving the tuition bills for obligated funds until the end of the month

after the end of the quarter.

WIOA DW in Clallam County continues to lag in exits and placements due to unexpected

delays in school completion resulting in extended plans for school and delayed start

dates for those awaiting employment.

d. Washington State and Olympic WDC WorkSource System Performance Dashboards: Reviewed the dashboards and discussed the following:

• Total seekers served decreased by 21% from Q3 to Q4

• Total employers using WorkSource decreased by 4% from Q3 to Q4; as did total job orders by 20%

• Finally, the top industry sectors posting jobs remained the same in Q4 as it was in Q3.

e. Inclusion of WIOA Title II (Adult Education and Literacy) and WIOA Title IV (Vocational

Rehabilitation) Performance in Operations Committee Reporting:

Background:

Traditionally, the Operations Committee reviews the reports of two of the four core

WIOA partner programs (WIOA Title I Formula – Adult, Youth, & Dislocated Workers;

and WIOA Title III – the Wagner-Peyser Act).

As part of the required One Stop partner four core programs, the OWDC asked

Peninsula and Olympic Colleges, and DVR to provide quarterly reports of the

performance indicators for WIOA Title II - Adult Education and Literacy and WIOA Title

IV - Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR) for review by the Operations Committee at its

quarterly meetings.

*the performance indicators requested include the number of participants enrolled in

the WIOA Title II and Title IV programs, and of those enrolled, how many were exited

from the programs, placed in unsubsidized employment (if tracked internally), and how

many participants attained certificates or attained measurable skill gains each quarter.

19

Discussion:

OWDC staff received various responses regarding the OWDC request for quarterly

performance indicators info for WIOA Title II (Adult Education and Literacy) and Title IV

(DVR). As a result, it was discussed in further detail by the Committee:

• Laura Brogden (Associate Dean for Basic Education and Corrections, Peninsula College)

brought Peninsula’s “Measurable Skills Gains (MSG) by Entry Level” report (as of 2017-

2018 Spring) for the Operations Committee review. That report included a count of all

participants enrolled in their adult education program, not just those funded by WIOA.

The percentage of participants who achieved a measurable skill gain during the reporting

period was very good (71% of the total participants enrolled).

• LeAnne Raines, M.M. (Supervisor, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation [DVR]) said that

DVR is not compiling that data now, but is looking into how to do so. Currently DVR is

reporting some related information annually, and is working on providing that

information quarterly.

The discussion ended with a plan for the Committee to further discuss how we can make the information currently reported by the colleges and DVR fit the needs of the WIOA reporting requirements.


No update

PY 18 WIOA Monitoring:

The Workforce Monitoring for PY 18 is scheduled for the week of March 18, 2019.

OWDC Roster: asked Committee members to contact WDC staff if aware of any businesses

interested in joining the OWDC.

WorkSource Employer Services, hiring events and emerging opportunities Patrice Valero – Daylo, Business Solutions Representative Jefferson and Clallam WorkSource opened discussion with employers served and types of services, reporting 7 hiring events which produce 59 new hires, and registration and job posting assistance for 36 employers.

Teamed up with the Small Business Development Corporation/Port Angeles North Peninsula providing monthly workshops for customers interested starting their own business. Jim McKenna recommended connecting with KCR BE$T program to connect with mentors and develop partnership.

Patrice mentioned a notable trend is that employers with home care healthcare and assisted living care are not attracting customers to the events and suggests raising wages to attract talent citing wage stagnation as a root cause. Matt Wheelus discussed healthcare challenges for this demographic and acknowledged the difficulty as it is highly competitive throughout the state. Clair and Patrice discussed the results of the Reverse Hiring Event, with several hires made as a result.

Hildo Rodriguez, Business Solutions Representative, Kitsap County WorkSource reported 282 hiring events, including the new format, “Employer of the Day” which provides a morning and afternoon employer each day of the week. Event participation was attended by 748 job seekers. Hiring for these events are reported at the leisure of the employer resulting in lapse and no solid data was available to report. Hildo will try to obtain information for next quarter.

Hildo discussed upcoming events with Department of the Navy and coordinated efforts with Kitsap Mall, creating a job fair preparation workshop following a job fair to

Comments made by some that they heard the ads and liked them. Mike reports job seeker ads will roll out soon. Mike discussed the new Business Landing page, working nicely as employers who have questions within the WDA will have questions sent directly to Operator who will disseminate to appropriate Business Solutions office. Retail Awareness and ApprenticeshipWA.com launch Mike shared the new micro sites for Retail awareness and activities occurring in the month of September and new apprenticeship launch with features for employers to identify apprentice interested job seekers. Discussion from Report by National Skills Coalition “Pre-employment training and affordable childcare key to broadening the apprenticeship pipeline” Most had an opportunity to read the reports previous to meeting, due to time unable to report out and discuss, interest among those in attendance was high and should be approached again at a later event.
