2015. WIA 14 is 17% spent. The Youth funding stream is 89% obligated, Adult stream 82% obligated and the Dislocated Worker stream is 80% obligated.

IV. New Business A. Action Item: Authorize Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) planning and implementation activities,

including a plan/budget modification, participation in WIOA training opportunities, and the contracting necessary to undertake WIOA transition activities – Scott Berger reported that we are in the home stretch of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) will take the place of WIA. There are significant changes in the new Act. The State of Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity has issued a regulation to allow for up to a 2% budget modification of the WIA to fund transitional activities such as staff training and consulting. Scott presented a working draft of activities and asked the board to authorize a budget modification of up to $97,000 to fund the activities described. He also stated that no reprogramming would be needed as the funding was coming from the PY 2015 carry-in line item. Bette Schoenholtz motioned to approve the modification as defined in the action item above for up to $97,000 and Paul Borek seconded. Discussion ensued. A question was raised regarding who would make the decision about the consultant hire. Berger explained they have a short list of names and the Kane County Staff would make the decision. Members questioned why the scope of service and applications couldn’t return to the board for review. Berger responded the Board doesn’t meet again until June. Discussion ensued about the frequency of board meetings and lack of other committees meeting. Consensus was reached that the WIOA planning and implementation activities scope of service and hiring selection could proceed if the Executive Committee reviewed these items and provided input. The other board members would be invited to attend also. Board members were also willing to schedule additional board meetings. Katie Bata called for a roll-call vote on the motion. The motion passed.

V. Informational Items: A. Job Driven Information Technology Project

a. Provider Presentation – TEC Services – Greg Sutton of TEC Services explained that the DOL had released a National Emergency Grant (NEG) and that Will, DuPage, Lake, McHenry, Kane, Kendall and DeKalb Counties were participating. Will County will receive the funds and TEC Services will implement the grant. It is a job driven grant for the long-term unemployed. The process is to contact employers, assess their need for employees with IT skills and then locate and train eligible clients to fit the need. Clients would obtain IT certifications through training and work experience could also be funded through the grant. TEC Services is working with all the local LWIAs to locate eligible clients. This grant will serve 260 individuals and will conclude on June 30, 2016. The IT training offered will range from entry-level through project management. Board Members were asked to contact Renee with any IT employee needs they have.

B. Kane and Kendall County Incumbent Worker Training Collaborative – Renee Renken explained that the Alliance for Manufacturing will be applying for available DCEO funding which helps employers remain competitive and assist employers with training their current workforce. Waubonsee Community College will be providing the training. The strategy is to keep employers from down-sizing; not every employer in Kane or Kendall Counties will be eligible. The maximum award is $350,000 and DCEO will announce the awards in late spring.

C. Training programs approved at Executive Committee – Ginger Knapp announced Waubonsee Community College’s APICs Supply Chain Professional Certification Program and DePaul University’s Certificate in Grant Writing had been approved.

D. Meeting Schedule - Members were provided the PY 15 schedule. The number of meetings is being reviewed. Members were reminded to file their Economic Impact Statements. Chairman Lauzen announced that Therese McMahon was no longer with DCEO and that we are awaiting her replacement.

Accelerated Training for Illinois Manufacturing Program (ATIM) rapidly prepares participants for high-demand jobs in manufacuturing within the occupational areas of CNC Operators, Welders, Robotics and Industrial Machinery Mechanic. Launched in September of 2013, ATIM funding was desgined to support 47 participants through accelerated classroom instruction leading to an industry recongized crendential in safety, metalworking or welding.

ATIM Highlights

48 participants enrolled which exceeds the established performance goal at 102%

41 have enrolled into a manufacturing occupational training program

30 of these trainees have succussfully completed their classroom instruction – 73%

27 graduates have gained employment, with 24 securing employment in manufacturing

7 participants are currently attending classroom instruction with 3 having gained employment Measuring Success Overall program performance is measured annually following the close of each federal fiscal year, which ends on 9/30. The final measures rely heavily on data collected by the Illinois Department of Employment Security and focus exclusively on those individuals receiving intensive and/or training services (not core services). Because of data lags, preliminary performance outcomes are not typically available until the fall after the close of each fiscal year, so for federal fiscal year 2014, which ended on 9/30/2014, this information is expected to be available in the fall of 2015. In order to gage performance in a more-timely manner, Kane County tabulates the number of WIA-assisted clients, by county, that have gained employment on a quarterly basis. While many of these individuals may have completed their program and/or training curriculum, they are expected to continue to receive career counseling support/services under the WIA program in order to ensure success. The table below provides these figures for the first half of Program Year 2014.

Memorandum

To: LWA 5 Workforce Development Board

From: Maria Luisa Gonzalez, Fiscal Manager

Date: June 10, 2015

Re: Monthly Fiscal report

WIA13 Budget report This grant is at 99% spent of the $5.3 million dollar budget that was awarded on 07/01/13. The remaining balance of $42,067.12 in the Admin funding stream will be spent operations and salaries.

WIA14 Budget report As we wind down on spending the WIA13 grant, we have started to charge expenditures to the WIA14 grant. You will note that we have expended 35% of this budget. We are projecting to hit our required benchmarks by June 30, 2015. The obligation benchmark is expected to hit the 80% or in some cases exceed the 80%. The current training benchmark has been achieved with Adult being at 63% and Dislocated Worker being at 58% of the 40% training benchmark.

ATIM Budget report The budget is at 85% spent through the end of March. You will note that the supportive service line has gone over budget, and this is due to the need. The program staff is aware of this and is working with Will County, who is the fiscal agent for this grant, to modify the budget. This grant ends August 31, 2015.

Rapid Response Budget report There has been a date extension; this grant will now end on June 30, 2015. This grant reimburses the expenses after they have occurred. It is currently at 99% spent of the $200,000 budget.

Trade Budget report The training has increased in the month of March. Every quarter the budget will be increased based on the needs of the clients.

Workforce Investment Board ACTION ITEM DETAIL

New Business

A. Action Item: Acceptance of the Program Year 2015 formula allocation for WIOA Title 1 Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth activities in the amount of $5,497,467 from the IL Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) and approval of the annual service plan modification and program budget.

Background: In cooperation with the local Chief Elected Official, the Workforce Development Board submits an annual plan that provides a narrative overview of the programs and services available to both job seekers and employers with a supporting operational spending plan. With Program Year 2015 marking the launch of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), staff expect a year-long planning and implementation period. While WIOA guidance from both the federal and state levels has been limited, a number of priorities have been identified for the local area. They include:

1) WIOA Evaluation and Implementation Planning;

2) Seating a Workforce Development Board that meets WIOA composition standards;

3) Establishing the Workforce Development Board’s Committee structure;

4) Developing and Implementing Foundational Documents (Three-County Intergovernmental Agreement, CEO/WDB Agreement, WDB By-Laws, WDB Consortium Staffing Agreement);

5) Developing a local strategic plan;

6) Local Policy and Procedure review and enhancement for alignment with WIOA;

7) Youth Program review and redesign to support WIOA’s focus on out-of-school youth and work based learning opportunities;

8) Engagement of system partners to assess service delivery strategies;

9) WIOA Youth Services procurement through RFP process for Program Year 2016; and

10) Developing a monitoring and reporting process which evaluates training choices, completions and employment outcomes.

To accomplish the priorities identified, staff recommends establishing an interim working group that will assist in developing and overseeing the WIOA transition work plans for the local area until the Board’s full committee structure can be established. Members would be named by the Board Chairman by the next meeting on August 12, 2015.

Recommendation: Accept the Program Year 2015 formula allocation for WIOA Title 1 Adult, Dislocated Worker and Youth activities and authorize the annual narrative plan modifications and budget as presented. 23

MEMORANDUM Date: June 3, 2015

To: Workforce Investment Board Members

From: Scott Berger and Renee Renken

Re: Program Year 2015 Contract Action Item Briefing In the next few days, we will be finalizing and distributing the agenda packet for your meeting on June 10th. There are two action items on the agenda, however, that involve Program Year 2015 contracting; one for WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker and Business Services in DeKalb County, and a second for Youth Services throughout the three-county area. These action items were reviewed and forwarded by the Executive Committee at their meeting last month. They asked that we provide you with background information and a summary of the process conducted to date so that you are prepared to vote on these items at your meeting next week. As you review this information, please do not hesitate to contact either of us if you have any questions. General Background Regarding Program Year 2015 Procurement/Contracting

In accordance with Federal requirements, all contracts for workforce services are procured through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process conducted on a three-year cycle. For DeKalb County Adult, Dislocated Worker and Business Services, Program Year 2015 represents the start of a new contract cycle, therefore, a new RFP solicitation was conducted to obtain proposals from qualified vendors interested in providing those services. For Youth Services, Program Year 2015 represents the final year in the three-year contract cycle, which is why one-year budgets and service plans were developed in collaboration with each of the vendors currently under contract. As the grant recipient, Kane County is charged with contracting with all vendors based on authorization from the Workforce Investment Board. Below (and attached to this memo) you will find additional detail regarding each of the action items involving Program Year 2015 contracting that will come before the board this month. Authorization of Program Year 2015 Contracting for DeKalb County WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker and Business Services

The enclosed “Action Item Detail” for this agenda item summarizes the proposal solicitation and evaluation process performed by staff and reviewed by an ad-hoc panel of Workforce Investment Board members from DeKalb County (excluding Dr. Choice from Kishwaukee College). The three proposals received can be viewed at http://1drv.ms/1HIwQbx. At their meeting last month, the Executive Committee reviewed and concurred with the recommendation of the DeKalb panel. During their deliberations, they received comments from the staff of First Institute Training & Management (First Institute). They asked that First Institute’s written comments be shared with the board (see attached) along with staff responses, which are outlined below:

27

http://1drv.ms/1HIwQbx

First Institute Issue #1: Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) Adherence

a) Concern: First Institute indicated that guidelines were not adhered to in the local IGA that governs program operation within the three-county workforce area, based on an understanding that DeKalb County Board representation was not provided the opportunity to evaluate the proposals.

b) Response: Staff clarified that a panel of five DeKalb County members from the Workforce Investment Board was formed to oversee and work exclusively on the RFP process. It was noted that the sixth DeKalb County WIB member (Kishwaukee College President Dr. Choice) was excluded from the panel to avoid a conflict of interest. The DeKalb panel met on January 21st to review the RFP solicitation document and provide feedback prior to its release. Then, following the submission deadline, copies of the three proposals received were provided to each member of the panel along with a memo detailing the criteria to be used during the evaluation process. The panel then re-convened on May 5th to discuss the three proposals and their responsiveness to the criteria prior to making a final recommendation to the Executive Committee.

First Institute Issue #2: RFP Scoring

a) Concern: First Institute expressed concern that Kane County staff reviewed and scored the RFPs prior to the May 5th meeting of the panel, and then presented their evaluations/recommendations to the panel at the meeting. First Institute also questioned the removal of performance data, which they claimed to include in their original proposal submission, as well as several letters of support.

b) Response: Kane County staff responded by clarifying the staffing support role they provide to the Workforce Investment Board. It was noted that in this support role, staff provided a service to the DeKalb panel by evaluating each proposal (based on the RFP criteria of experience, program design of each service tier, qualifications, budget/cost reasonableness and feedback quality) and presenting their ratings, comments, and recommendations for the panel’s consideration. Over the course of an hour-and-a-half meeting, the panel reviewed and discussed the staff evaluations prior to arriving at their recommendation as to which vendor(s) should be selected. Prior to establishing their final recommendation, the panel requested staff gain clarification around Kishwaukee College’s proposed staffing model and leveraged resources along with their calculation of training scholarship funding and on-the-job training resources. The panel requested that staff email the clarification received which was accepted by the panel with a 4-1 “yes” recommendation. Staff commented at the Executive Committee meeting that performance data was not included in First Institute’s proposal and, therefore, could not be distributed to the DeKalb panel members. While First Institute’s proposal was accompanied by several letters of support, the letters were not from individuals listed in their proposal as references. Staff explained the letters were not among the items requested of bidders in the RFP and that neither of the other bidders submitted such letters. Finally, it was

28

noted the letters submitted by First Institute may have led to questions regarding possible political influence over the procurement process for the DeKalb contract. For all of these reasons, the letters accompanying First Institute’s proposal were not distributed to the DeKalb panel members.

First Institute Issue #3: Budget Recommendation

a) Concern: First Institute described conversations with the Kane County Fiscal Manager during the current program year as having a negative impact on the development of their budget proposal given the request for bidders to prepare budgets based on anticipated cost needs.

b) Response: The Kane County Fiscal Manager explained that the conversation referenced by First Institute staff was specifically regarding their company’s overspending during the first quarter of Program Year 2014. The discussion centered on a single line item – training scholarships; and the need for First Institute to accurately project training costs in order to effectively manage their current budget for Program Year 2014. The pending RFP process for Program Year 2015 was not discussed nor was First Institute given instructions on how to craft their budget proposal.

Authorization of Program Year 2015 Contracting for WIOA Youth Services

The enclosed “Action Item Detail” for this agenda item summarizes recommended contract renewals for the Youth service provider network servicing Kane, Kendall and DeKalb Counties for a final one-year period. With the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) implementation on the horizon, providers were asked to align their scope of service for Program Year 2015 with the core principles outlined in WIOA; increased emphasis on work experience, delivery of services with consideration to career pathways and increased enrollments for out-of-school youth. Aside from the WIOA additions, the service and staffing models remain consistent with each provider’s Program Year 2014 contract. The recommended contract renewals have been reviewed and forwarded by the Executive Committee to the full Workforce Investment Board.

New Business

B. Action Item: Authorization of a one-year contract with Kishwaukee College to provide WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Business Services in DeKalb County during Program Year 2015, and a one-month extension to First Institute Training & Management’s Program Year 2014 contract to provide transition/orientation assistance during the first month of Program Year 2015.

Background: At the Executive Committee’s request, Kane County recently conducted an RFP Process to obtain proposals for Adult, Dislocated Worker and Business Services in DeKalb County for Program Year 2015 (July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016), renewable for Program Years 2016 and 2017. Three vendors submitted proposals: First Institute Training & Management, Goodwill Industries of Northern Illinois, and Kishwaukee College. All three vendors proposed to deliver all three tiers of service sought by the Workforce Investment Board, including:

1. Universal Access through a walk-in Community Resource Center (CRC) that provides free computer access and job search assistance from dedicated staff.

2. Intensive One-on-One Assistance provided by employment counselors that develop an individualized employment plan for each client along with direct job search assistance and/or occupational training.

3. Business Services delivered through partnerships with local businesses offering no-cost job posting and candidate recruitment events, along with providing employers access to a skilled talent pool and workforce training.

The proposals were evaluated by staff for their responsiveness to the following criteria: Experience, History, and Expertise; Program Design (Universal Access, Intensive One-on-One Assistance, and Business Services); Qualifications; Budget and Cost Reasonableness; and Quality of Feedback from References. Bidders were rated and scored in each of these areas. Copies of the evaluations are attached along with a bidder summary form that captures each bidder’s budget and staffing figures, service numbers, and the evaluation scores. Kishwaukee College’s proposal received the highest overall rating with a total score of 81 out of a possible 100 points. The proposals and staff evaluations were reviewed by an ad-hoc panel made up of Workforce Investment Board members from DeKalb County. (Kishwaukee College President Dr. Choice did not participate.) The panel requested additional information from the highest-rated bidder (Kishwaukee College) which resulted in increases in the amounts recommended for Individual Training Accounts and On-the-Job Training. They agreed that Kishwaukee College’s proposal represented the best overall quality and value and recommended its acceptance. The panel also concurred that First Institute’s Program Year 2014 contract should be extended by one month in order to provide for a smooth transition of intensive services and case management functions from First Institute to Kishwaukee College.

31

This action item authorizes the acceptance of Kishwaukee College’s proposal, including the budget and service plan detailed below, as well as an extension of First Institute Training & Management’s Program Year 2014 contract.

EVALUATION CRITERIA RATING COMMENTS

1. Experience, History and Expertise Max: 10

Consideration given to the capacity and ability to serve DeKalb County and its job seeking population, business community and system stakeholders with a commitment to operate the program successfully while achieving performance outcomes.

FITM has provided services in DeKalb County for nearly 12 years with strength in their commitment in serving the community noted alongside the delivery of performance outcomes. Community relationships are noted, but the engagement process and strategies are not clearly defined. Although FITM’s proposal demonstrated their knowledge and experience in working with local employers to assist with their hiring needs (i.e. targeted outreach, job posting service, screening and referring candidates, etc.), the proposal does not clearly demonstrate their specific experience/ability to work with employers in the area of providing successful paid work experience and OJT placement activities.

7

2a. Program Design (Universal Access) Max: 16.7

Consideration given to applicant that clearly defines outreach and recruitment strategies, effective service strategies (including workshops) that are continuously evaluated to meet area needs.

FITM demonstrated its experience and knowledge with delivering services to job-seeker customers, including the delivery of vital workshops. However, the “customer flow” appears to be somewhat confusing in regard to the methods they will utilize to effectively deliver these services. There appears to be some additional “layers” of services/activities throughout the process that potentially may cause a duplicative or “drawn-out” job-seeker customer experience. In turn, this may lead to the customer being disengaged early-on in the process before they have even moved towards Intensive/Training Services. The overall service strategy appeared to focus on WIOA pre-screening activities and less on the delivery of employment related activities to the broader job seeking public. Continuous improvement/needs assessment process not clearly defined.

10

2b. Program Design (Intensive Assistance) Max: 16.7

Consideration given to applicant that demonstrates expertise and capacity to deliver individualized job search counseling, coaching, and readiness along with an ability to assess training needs and authorize scholarship awards. Consideration also given to applicants that define a counseling approach maximizing the employment potential of the individual job seeker and a strategy authorizing training scholarships that maximize the number of participants in training. Required is an ability to maintain WIOA eligibility compliance and achieve performance metrics.

FITM service model outlines their commitment to provide quality guidance, support and readiness activities to prepare individuals for employment. Highlighted is FITM’s ability to manage compliance components and eligibility determinations; however, the enrollment process appears cumbersome/in-efficient with multiple approval steps noted. FITM highlights the integration of the Business Service Representative and Training Facilitator into this service tier to offer employability assessments along with resume development and mock interviews. While work experience can be noted as a program enhancement, details regarding delivery priorities are absent. FITM demonstrates their overall experience and capacity to deliver Intensive Assistance with a focus on empowering the customer to identify and achieve short and long-term goals.

Evaluation Outcome

Reviewer Recommendation

Service Tier(s) Recommendations Are the applicant’s qualifications lacking in any or all service tier proposals? AND/OR Is the applicant especially qualified to deliver one or more service tiers?

While FITM has delivered job seeker and business services throughout DeKalb County for many years achieving performance metrics and providing quality programs, the proposal submitted represents a substantially larger investment of WIOA dollars to support a robust staffing plan that delivers similar outcomes to the other bidders. Staff do not recommend acceptance of First Institute’s proposal, but suggest a one-month extension of their current contract (to July 31, 2015) in order to provide for a smooth transition to a new service provider.

Funding Recommendations Provide up to $25,000 for staff salaries during a one-month transition period.

Condition(s) N/A

2c. Program Design (Business Services) Max: 16.6

Consideration given to the applicants strengths to build relationships with employers, facilitate placements and job retention of job seekers alongside management of OJT services.

FITM’s proposal strongly defines the main objective of this service tier as linking candidates to appropriate employers with a focus on customizing training solutions to meet demands. Demonstrated is FITM’s understanding of the crucial role Business Services play in workforce development under WIA/WIOA; however, more information was needed to understand how FITM staff will build relationships with employers. FITM proposal incorporates OJT and Paid Work Experiences to assist the business community with their hiring/training needs which is a desirable strategy; however, there is minimal reference describing the implementation and management of these activities. With respect to OJT, FITM’s proposal does not appear to demonstrate adequate experience/direct knowledge regarding the development of the OJT training plan with each employer based on the comparison between the customized job skills analysis and the skills gap analysis of the matching candidate.

10

3. Qualifications Max: 10

Consideration given to the applicant with a reasonable staffing plan to successfully deliver services and achieve performance metrics. Does the applicant have relevant experience and/or expertise in a similar capacity?

Four (4) positions require hiring with six (6) of existing staff being retained. There appears to be an excessive number of positions in the staffing plan due to the cumbersome nature of the service delivery model proposed. 7

4. Budget and Cost Reasonableness Max: 20

Consideration given to the reasonableness of costs presented to achieve the desired outcomes (cost v. benefit). Does the proposal represent good value?

FITM’s proposal represents the most expensive service model with nearly twice the amount of FTE’s as compared to Kishwaukee College and comparable performance deliverables. 10

5. Quality of Feedback Max: 10

Consideration given to the comments obtained from references. Majority of references spoke of FITMs ability to deliver Youth

programming and were not connected to FITM as a provider of adult & dislocated worker services. Therefore, it was difficult to gauge their ability to deliver these services to Adult and Dislocated Workers job-seeker customers.

Kishwaukee’s proposal highlights their ability to convene, collaborate and facilitate discussions with system partners to best serve area job seekers and businesses. Their proposal clearly describes their experience and capacity for service delivery, as evidenced by their success through the Career Resource Room at the Illinois workNet Center, Division of Adult Education and Transition Programs, and partnerships developed through the College’s Center for Business Development and Continuing Education (CBDCE). Noted was the CBDCE’s 20 year history of developing business relationships within the community which speaks to Kishwaukee’s history and strong presence as a local system stakeholder and demonstrates their commitment to operate the program successfully. Kishwaukee detailed their extensive in-house training resources, facilities for events, marketing and institutional research resources, proven track record serving the business community, leveraged expertise and technology. Although Kishwaukee does not appear to have an abundance of direct experience with delivering Intensive/Training services to Adults and Dislocated Workers under WIA/WIOA, they do possess significant knowledge and expertise in the field of workforce development. Additionally, their direct experience working as a partner in the DeKalb workNet Center has given them ample exposure to the WIA/WIOA process and would make the transition much easier.

8



Kishwaukee has demonstrated experience and knowledge with a flexible service model and proven workshop structure all driven by employment as the outcome. Their proposal is strengthened by their plan to cross-train all center staff to deliver career services and implement a continuous quality improvement process through the resources available at the College. The Service Plan is clearly and thoroughly outlined and includes projected participant service numbers. They have identified how initial customer processing will be modified (from its current version under WIA) to ensure customers are given accelerated access to Intensive/Training Services based on need. Further, Kishwaukee’s registration/intake process is clear, precise, and easy to follow. Kishwaukee has a solid outreach and recruitment plan which will occur through a collaborative effort with established partners.

14.5

36



Kishwaukee’s recruitment strategies are effectively tied into the college system and take advantage of all available marketing tools – website, social media platforms, local media publications, Adult Ed and Career Tech Departments. They will measure/assess quality along with consumer needs, and establish an Advisory Committee to gather input from community stakeholders. Data collection will benefit from access to Kishwaukee’s research department which will provide support/analytics. The proposal included a “Customer Flow” diagram and detailed narrative that was very easy to follow and demonstrates Kishwaukee’s understanding and ability to develop an effective and efficient service delivery method for Intensive/Training Service tier. They provided details regarding the delivery of the “career pathway model” that will be utilized for career planning and development/attainment of employment goals for the job-seeker customer. Specific tools/resources were cited that will be used for these services including additional technology not currently utilized at the Center – Career Cruising System / Red, Write & Gold software for those with reading and writing difficulties. While strong in their description of delivering counseling assistance and job readiness, achievement of WIOA eligibility compliance was not fully defined. Also not included, were specific details regarding the Training Services process; consequently, this may need to be an area that is revisited/strengthened if funds are awarded for this service tier.

12.5



Kishwaukee outlined a model that will be delivered through the College’s Center for Business Development and Continuing Education (CBDCE) division, which exists to support and enhance the economic and workforce development of the DeKalb community. Referenced are specific methods that will be utilized to effectively serve the Business community and develop long-term relationships that provide quality placements. Kishwaukee proposes to house one FTE (Employer Services Coordinator) in the workNet Center to function as the primary liaison between the College and the business community along with the workNet Center team. This should prove to be an effective method to both develop long-term relationships with the business community and track/analyze training and development needs. Kishwaukee clearly outlined a sound approach to delivering OJT and implementing all the compliance processing components which included the preparation, collection, and processing of all OJT documents and reimbursement packets. However, the proposal contained minimal to no details regarding how the skill-gap analysis would be determined and how the training plan would be developed as part of this process.

Evaluation Outcome

Staff Recommendation

Service Tiers Recommended Are the applicant’s qualifications lacking in any or all service tier proposals? AND/OR Is the applicant especially qualified to deliver one or more service tiers?

Kishwaukee College has proposed a comprehensive service delivery model that aligns with the identified needs of DeKalb County’s job seekers and business community. Their proposal places an emphasis on making data-driven decisions, providing effective and efficient access to services, leveraging available resources and technology through the College, promoting career pathways, and strengthening coordination with community partners. Staff recommend acceptance of Kishwaukee College’s proposal to deliver all three service tiers at the DeKalb worknet Center.

Funding Recommendation (Revised) $665,536.00 (Includes an additional $103,000.00 in training funds.)

Condition(s) N/A



Overall, Kishwaukee presented a streamlined, highly efficient staffing plan that leverages resources from the College and through partnership agreements. Billi Tierney and LaCretia Konan were identified as Center Coordinators and have extensive backgrounds in WIA and Job Seeker Services as they were previously employed in the workNet Center. Kishwaukee will hire three (3) additional staff upon contract award. The proposal emphasizes staff cross training within the center with every staff member having active involvement with the job-seeker customers. This approach will create an effective, holistic service-delivery system.

8



Kishwaukee submitted a highly cost effective and value added proposal with a staffing plan of 5.25 FTEs and one leveraged receptionist through Senior Works. They have allocated adequate training funds; however, it appears that there may have been an error in the budgeting calculations for OJT and additional funding is recommended in order to complete training activities described in the proposal.

17


Consideration given to the comments obtained from references. Kishwaukee provided references from local agencies they engage

through the workNet Center Resource Room they currently operate as well as one business contact. Feedback received from the references, while general in nature, was both positive and complimentary.

Goodwill’s proposal highlights their extensive experience and ability to serve individuals with barriers. Goodwill documented their ability to work with community members and organizations as presented through their recent achievement of establishing a community resource center. Goodwill effectively communicated their experience and ability to deliver Universal Services however, their proposal does not appear to clearly demonstrate their ability to move job seeker customers through an Intensive/Training Services pathway. Additionally, Goodwill’s experience assisting dislocated workers appears limited. Although there is reference to recent efforts and successes with job placement and Business Services (i.e. employer recruitment/interviewing events at the Goodwill Resource Room, etc.), there does not appear to be a clear method or strategy for how they will build their an employer network or how the job seekers will be connected to hiring employers.

6



Goodwill demonstrated their knowledge and experience in delivering effective services to job seeker customers with a outlined evaluation process defined to ensure effectiveness in delivery methods. Goodwill’s program is especially well-suited for individuals with barriers and effectively routes them to other services, including those outside of WIOA. Goodwill placed an emphasis on community development through their proposed plan to establish outposts within other local organizations to build awareness and deliver services as needed. Overall, Goodwill presented a complete service model and emphasized employment as the outcome. Goodwill currently delivers workshops at their main location. Their strategy to connect the two service centers was not fully described. The proposed number of workshop attendees appears high at 1,240.

12.5

39



Goodwill details service delivery options that include individual and group work to create a circle of support with accountability and responsibility. Their recruitment strategies are robust and a defined marketing plan was included. While strong in their description of delivering assistance to those with multiple barriers, strategies tailored to meet dislocated worker needs seemed lacking. A description of specific tools and methods to be utilized were absent from their delivery strategy. Additionally, there is a lack of experience and/or knowledge regarding the performance metrics for employment outcomes and details about the assessment tools that will be utilized for the career planning/training research process are not clearly captured. Authorization of training accounts appeared general in nature. Goodwill highlighted their ability to leverage community resources for supportive services in addition to WIOA dollars and their ability to assist individuals with employment barriers.

10.5



Goodwill’s proposal demonstrated their ability to engage the employer community; however, focus seems lacking for enrolled program participants and their ability to link these individuals to employment opportunities beyond entry level. Experience described throughout the proposal centers on offering the resource room to employers for hiring events. Goodwill demonstrates a strong understanding of the OJT requirements and process with employer/job-seeker (i.e. skill-gap analysis, training plan development, etc.). Also demonstrated is their knowledge and experience brokering OJT agreements and assisting employers with screening/recruiting candidates. Experience appeared lacking with Incumbent Worker Training. Goodwill’s proposal did not clearly identify the number of employers they have historically engaged nor the number with which they are currently engaged.

10



Goodwill proposed a staffing plan that includes eight and one-half (8.5) positions of which seven and one-half (7.5) would be filled upon contract award. This hiring need could delay Goodwill’s ability to be “up-and-running” and ready to deliver services upon contract award. However, the agency does have a history of delivering services in a similar capacity.

6



Goodwill’s proposed operational costs are high, leaving only 34% of their proposal total for direct training (alignment closer to or exceeding the 40% threshold is desirable). Additionally, the staffing plan appears to have some excessive support roles which contribute to the proposal’s high proportion of operating costs compared to the participant figures they propose to serve.

12


Consideration given to the comments obtained from references. Goodwill provided references from local agencies they routinely

engage. Their references praised the agency. All spoke positively regarding their ability to deliver WIOA programming. 9

Evaluation Outcome

Staff Recommendation

Service Tier(s) Recommendations Are the applicant’s qualifications lacking in any or all service tier proposals? AND/OR Is the applicant especially qualified to deliver one or more service tiers?

While Goodwill has a proven track record of delivering job related assistance, their strength is centered around offering services to the walk-in customer and individuals experiencing multiple barriers. Staff do not recommend acceptance of Goodwill’s proposal, given their limited experience delivering career services and authorizing occupational training.
