Presenters: Karen Darlington and Alice Leonard (Workforce Connections)
Presenters discussed the file organization and documentation required for Area 1's process and approval of WIA - Trade Training Contracts. Each Pilot area was given a "dummy" file to use as a resource that follows the attached checklist. Every WIA - Trade file in Area 1 follows this format to ensure information is readily available to anyone reviewing the file. This promising practice was identified as being extremely helpful when multiple program staff are involved in a case (e.g. separate program processes) and for file reviews and state/federal monitoring purposes.
Note: The above checklist has been attached in Word to allow for the modification and use by other pilots.
Presenter: Keith Hyde (The Five Star Job Centers of Southwest Ohio)
Details the timelines, process and benefits gained through the development of system wide policies for the Five Star Job Centers 5 county pilot area. This promising practice was identified as being beneficial for all pilot areas, but especially useful for multi-county pilot areas.
