DECLARATION: The local boards have developed policies for issuance and coordination of supportive services (which includes transportation). Each Provider is expected to maintain participant budget as per allowable levels of supportive services for tracking issuances. The procedure provides specifics regarding tracking, documentation and review of program issuances, participant budgets and program resources. Bus passes, gas cards and coordination with other agencies who provide transportation services are several methods used to provide transportation. The local policy also allows for assistance with car repairs when economical and effective. STRATEGY: Leveraging and braiding partner support service resources will ensure that individuals receive the support and increase program completion rates. This will involve: coordinated assessment processes, communication between system partners, and coordinated provision of ancillary support services to facilitate program completion by those enrolled in training and education programs /courses. WIOA and the One -Stop system provide the very model for resource sharing among workforce development stakeholders. Whether called leveraging, braiding or sharing, the One -Stop offers programs, services and information to its customers that are funded from hundreds of public and private resources. The model is to service needs of a job seeker, a business or an industry are assessed and resources are assembled from a variety of sources to meet the need. COORDINATION OF THE AJCC SERVICE DELIVERY SYSTEM: Partner and service delivery coordination are defined as commitments agreed upon by the partners and effective immediately, not to exceed 3 years, as prescribed in the MOUs. Periodic modification and review of the MOUs will be used to ensure all AJCC partners continue to coordinate service delivery and contribute their fair and equitable share of infrastructure and other system costs, including the identification of who will fulfill this responsibility to avoid duplication and inefficiencies in the system. Based on local partnership with EDO and the presence of EDD staff at local AJCC /One -Stops are able to provide a strong and effective set of services tojob seekers. EDD and OC One -Stop staff are co- located in the centers, Physical proximity encourages staff to collaborate closely and avoid duplication of services. WAGNER- PEYSER ACT SERVICES; Services provided by EDD staff within the AJCC /One -Stop Centers: Unemployment Insurance- Virtually the full range of One -Stop services are available to UI claimants. However, One -Stop services most closely associated with this group include the following: • UI claimants are first offered general information and access to a UI navigator or help desk to facilitate any questions they mayhave. Customers receive assistance with filing for UI benefits; communicating electronically with UI personnel; transmitting follow -up documents; and use of dedicated UI telephones that enable UI claimants to call from our One - Stop centers or other EDD service locations. • Re- employment services are available specifically for UI claimants who do not register for work in CalJOBS within 21 days of filing for benefits. These claimants are invited to a Personal Job Search Assistance (PJSA) appointment. Customers are provided an orientation to services in the One -Stop, along with a review of their potential eligibility under UI's California Training Benefits Program for those who wish to pursue training while receiving UI benefits. • UI claimants who appear to fit the WIOA profile of "dislocated worker" and are likely to exhaust their UI benefits due to limited labor market opportunities in their field are invited to an Initial Assistance Workshop within the first four weeks after fling their claim. These Individuals are provided services similar to those offered to PJSA clients, except they must also select a follow -up reemployment service that must be completed within a specific period of time. • Re- employment Assistance workshops are part of a mandatory service provided to long term UI clients as a result of the "Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012." Services under this legislation are provided for long term UI recipients who need to be reintroduced to the One -Stop and its services. A review of the UI client's job search efforts are also part of the activity, Customers are also directed to re- engage in reemployment services related to job preparation, referrals to training or networking via 'Experience Unlimited" for those that meet its eligibility criteria. fog L" OC Local Plan 19D -84
