With our new Career Center Operator, Dynamic Workforce Solutions (DWFS) fully operational as of April 4, 2016, new service delivery methods are beginning to be offered to workforce customers. Online trainings, on-site assessments, virtual tour of services and the development of a smart phone app are now underway. Along with these new services, DWFS has implemented a new program for our Youth participants. On June 8, 2016, the very first Reverse Job Fair took place at the Region 19 Education Service Center. Youth who had completed a week long training became “Borderplex Certified” and had the opportunity to have a table at the Reverse Job Fair to showcase their education and skills to employers. On the same day and location, our 2nd Industry Job Fair took place which allowed participating employers to seek new talent as well as meet our Borderplex Certified Youth. We also launched our Entrepreneurship Program in conjunction with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and have hosted our first series of classes throughout the entire six county service area.

Our new Northeast Center which opened on Thursday, June 16 places greater emphasis on customer service by introducing tablet technology for a more personal experience for customers. On May 17th, we were able to expand our services on Fort Bliss by adding a second satellite center in building 503, first floor at the corner of Pershing and Pleasanton. The new center includes a resource lab, workshops and career navigators to provide essential services to develop employment opportunities for active members of the military, their spouses and dependents and veterans who are seeking workforce services. By October, our new mobile career center will be available which will greatly enhance our service capabilities to the outlying areas.

Please take a moment to review the Q3 report regarding productivity from April, May and June. We look forward to your continued feedback on how we can improve service and performance.
