Norb Fuest, Appletree HR and Consultants In 2016 the GLOW Workforce Development Board continued the important work of assisting our job seekers and businesses. The effects of this assistance can been read throughout this annual report with the success stories of our recognized customers and businesses. The future looks bright for our area with new businesses and opportunity for our job seekers. We look forward to incorporating our board and becoming a 501c3 organization so we can pursue other funding streams and opportunities to further assist our customers. I would like to thank my fellow board members for their ongoing service to the board and our workforce area. It has been a pleasure leading the board for the past two years. I would also like to thanks all the staff in our career centers that do the important day to day work of assisting our job seekers and businesses.

Norbert Fuest, GLOW WDB Chairman

Jay Lazarony, GLOW WDB Executive Director

On April 3, 2017 I began the important work of being the Executive Director for the GLOW Workforce Development Board. This has been an exciting and challenging time as we continue the tradition that has been established in GLOW by my predecessor Mary Lou Hamm. I’m happy to report that GLOW has a fully excused Memorandum of Understanding with all of the four titles in the WIOA legislation. All partners are now aligned and will be evaluated by the same performance measures which allows for better cooperation amongst partners and better service for our customers. This year GLOW was able to submit our Local Plan that will cover 2017-2021. This plan is the strategic vision for GLOW to meet the needs of our employers and job seekers. I invite you to go to our website at www.glowworks.org and review this important document. I would like to congratulate all of our award recipients who are being recognized in this report. I further congratulate the hundreds and thousands of job seekers and business that also reached success this year with assistance through the staff in all

of our Career Centers. My sincere thanks to the staff that work in our centers as I have traveled to each of the centers this year and had an opportunity to talk with customers and employer representatives who are impressed with the service you provide. I would also like to thank each of our GLOW WDB members, as well as the Youth Committee, Executive Committee, and Finance Committee members who set the policies that we follow and make it possible for each of our customers to achieve the highest success possible. A special thanks to Norbert Fuest, our board chair, who I have relied on my first year and appreciate all of his assistance and advice; our Vice Chair, Dennis Burke, who also chairs the Finance Committee; and David Rumsey for his leadership on our Youth Committee. Together we are building a system for all of our customers to access that will allow them to pursue the career they desire and our businesses for the skilled workers they need.

Rep. Chris Collins toured the offices of the County's Job Development Bureau this morning to learn more about the work the department does to help people in Genesee County find jobs.

The tour, led by Jay Lazarony, GLOW Workforce Development Board executive director, focused on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WOIA), which is a federal program designed to help youth and those with significant barriers to employment find and retain high-quality jobs and careers.

Many of the clients who enter the program have not developed the job skills that help them retain jobs.

Lazarony told the story of one woman who entered the program who had been working as a home health care aide but couldn't stay in a job. The training she received helped her understand what it takes to hold onto a job and also provided her with the skills to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. The program helped her with the expense of travel, shoes, and scrubs. She eventually landed a full-time job at the Genesee County Nursing Home and now she's studying to become a Registered Nurse.

"This is the stuff that we can do with that funding, is give people a great start," Lazarony told Collins.

Collins said he appreciated the insight because so often the programs that pass before congressional members for review are just numbers on a page but the tour helped him see how the program benefits people.

So far in 2017, the center has helped 989 clients, including 141 through WIOA. A total of 137 veterans have been assisted.

There have been 1,322 people placed in jobs in Genesee County through the department's services.

Collins also learned about on-the-job-training programs through 13 participating businesses, occupational training programs, 38 on-site employer-specific job recruitment sessions, and the Summer Youth Employment program that placed 39 high school students in jobs at 23 work sites this summer.

Sometimes the clients of the center need ongoing help, said Scott Gage, director of the bureau.

"We’ll actually stay with them for 12 months after they leave us," Gage said. "We can mediate anything going on with the business, help this person out with issues. We’ve got a lot of community partners we rely on to help us out, social service agencies that will help us out in a number of ways and there’s no funding involved. They provide services and we access those services."

There are currently more than 600 job listings on file with the bureau and most of those are good-paying jobs, Gage said. With local unemployment at about 4 percent, it's proving hard for companies to find skilled workers.

The tight job market is helping to bring some people into the workforce who until now had opted out, Lazarony said. He said two recent clients the bureau has placed in jobs have worked their way up to full-time employment. They were in their mid-20s when they first came in and had never worked any type of job in their lives. They weren't part of the system at all. They just lived at home and didn't work.

There are other long-term unemployed who rely on the state's Safety Net program and they can be hard to assist, Gage said. They're capable of working, but they also have other underlying issues, such as disabilities, and sometimes they've just given up. That's a challenge, Gage said.

Collins observed that "Anybody who wants to get a job can get a job. It may not be at the wage they want, or the hours they want, or the job they want, but they can get a job." Changes in aid programs initiated by Congress might change some of that, Collins said. "As we continue down that road you’re going to start to see people lined up out your door," Collins said.

Genesee County Business Recognition CY Farms Nominated by Genesee County Career Center

Congratulations to CY Farms!

CY Farms was founded in 1951 by Carl Yunker with 25 cows and one tractor. Today, it has grown to encompass 6,000 acres of vegetable and row crops, 3,800 replacement dairy cattle, and Batavia Turf farm. It’s an accomplishment that has so far spanned 3 generations of the Yunker family who have a sincere dedication to family, community, and love of the land. CY Farms is committed to diversity and sustainability in agriculture – Genesee County’s largest industry. The crops they grow are ever changing and they employ a crop rotation system that preserves and enhances the fertility of the land. Those crops help feed the replacement cattle they raise to replenish the herds of other farmers. Manure from the cattle is returned

to the land as fertilizer. And the turf grass and sod used for residential, commercial, and athletic fields rotates through the crop land to prevent soil pathogens from building up. CY Farms is also partnered with a French company that produces green roofing consisting of the succulent plant sedum. The roof absorbs excess rain water, preventing run off into storm and sanitary sewers, naturally cools the building and environment which lowers energy costs, increases insulation, and increases sustainability. Agriculture has changed and the CY Farms family is invested in helping our area young people envision themselves with well-paying jobs in progressive, sustainable, local agriculture. CY Farms has offered tours of their various operations to children, teens, adults, and decision makers throughout the area to allow them to see for themselves what today’s progressive farms are accomplishing for the community and the environment. They have listed job opportunities with our local Career Center to recruit local individuals who want to make a good life here in Genesee County. In addition, CY Farms worked closely with one of our customers to accommodate his disability, enabling him to work at a job he loves and support his family. From large, global initiatives to making a huge difference for one local employee, CY Farms has shown itself to be a vital community partner leading the way in care for the land, wise use of natural resources, and care and concern for the people of our area. Congratulations to CY Farms!

“We take great pride in our team and our community. We believe that as small business owners it is our responsibility to

provide a work environment that people from our community want to be a part of.”

Christian Yunker, Managing Partner of CY Farms

Livingston County Business Recognition The Kraft Heinz Company Nominated by Livingston County Office of Workforce Development Kraft Heinz is the largest private sector employer in Livingston County with more than 400 employees. The plant was recently targeted for closure following a merger with the HJ Heinz Company. A deal was reached with New York State to keep the plant open and invest up to $20 million in state grants, to match $20 million in private expansion. Kraft has a long tradition of partnering with the workforce development system to meet their hiring needs. They have listed jobs, participated in recruitment efforts, and taken part in our employer forums. Recently, low unemployment in the area has forced Kraft to recruit employees through other means. Through our Public

Assistance diversion workshop, Kraft was able to intercept prospective workers before their public assistance benefits started. They became regular attendees at our biweekly workshops, where they would conduct interviews and make employment offers on the spot. With the demand for production workers persisting, we also formed collaboration with our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program by incorporating their workplace terminology and application process into the curriculum. The effort has been incredibly successful with many non-native residents transitioning into employment and off of public assistance. Congratulations to the Kraft Heinz Company!

Orleans County Business Recognition

Community Action of Orleans and Genesee Nominated by Orleans County Job Development Agency Community Action of Orleans & Genesee is a 501(c)3 private nonprofit organization that has served low-income and disadvantaged families for over 40 years.

people become self-sufficient. We have a long history of great collaboration with Job Development and many of our programs

to help people succeed in their employment goals. We have hosted hundreds of youth and adult participants over the years in a

win-win arrangement where the participant gains valuable employment and life skills and the agency gains an extra pair of

hands to help with the work of serving our community. There’s nothing more satisfying in our work than to have a former

participant call or stop by to tell us they’re doing great!” --Ed Fancher, Executive Director

Wyoming County Business Recognition Marquart Companies Nominated by Wyoming County Community Action

Marquart Companies located in Gainesville, NY, began as a family farm partnership (Marquart Bros.) in 1967 which operated a 4,000 acre cash crop farm. In 1998 Marquart Dairy was established with the operation of a 250 cow dairy farm. T J Marquart & Sons Trucking began in 1980, a local and long-distance trucking business serving the Northeastern US. In 2008 Marquart saw a need to expand their repair facility which serviced their trucks and equipment. This resulted in the creation of Marquart Equipment Repair and Sales. In recent years, the Marquart’s have invested in the family business by building a new state of the art food grade facility capable of storing, conditioning and processing over 50 million pounds of potatoes annually. In January 2016, Marquart Bros Farming LLC launched their very own potato chip brand, New York Chips. Additional businesses that Marquart has created include a Lumber Company, Product Sales, and Realty Co. Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, Marquart became an educational training site for high school students. Partnering with the Genesee Valley Educational Partnership the Diesel Mechanics program offered through the GVEP’s Technical Education Center is now located off-site at Marquart Repair and Equipment Sales in Gainesville. The current class slots are full and there is already a waiting list for next school year. Wyoming County Community Action appreciates the willingness of Marquart to participate in the GLOW’s Workforce programs and activities, including Youth Career Fairs and local Job Fairs. They have been willing to be a Youth Worksite for our Out-of-School Youth Program. Marquart has been our referral source for many years for individuals interested in training to become Truck Drivers, often providing pre-hire letters and then offering employment to those who receive their CDL license. Marquart has evolved from a local family farm to a diversified agribusiness that presents multiple opportunities for employment, training, and farming services. We applaud them for their commitment to their own community. They have embraced the idea of combining business with education and have invested in our students who are part of tomorrow’s workforce. Wyoming County is privileged to acknowledge Marquart as Wyoming County’s Employer of the Year. Congratulations to Marquart Companies!

Christi Lotempio Nominated by Genesee County Career Center

Christi was laid off from Mueller Quaker when they closed down in Batavia. As a single parent, Christi was highly motivated to better her career opportunities and live up to the potential she knew she had. Having never been to college before, it was a big decision to enter GCC in January 2016 to pursue a degree, but Christi was determined to make this work. Being somewhat of a perfectionist, Christi wanted all A's, but as so often happens, circumstances beyond our control present challenges to the best laid plans. First, the house where she was renting was sold and she had to find a new home and move just as one of her most challenging semesters was beginning. Then her uncle passed away thrusting her into unexpected grief. Next came a car accident and all of dealing with insurance companies and arranging transportation.

this within a few weeks’ time during her last semester. Plus, she was getting married in a few weeks. Christi persevered and ended the semester with a 3.964 GPA overall and a dual degree in Business and Accounting in a mere 18 months. Genesee Lumber called her instructor at GCC to ask if there might be a student that she would recommend for an accounting job they had available. There was no question, Christi was the perfect candidate. Her instructor recommended her and she got the job. Christi likes her job at Genesee Lumber very much and life is good. Her children are now 12 and 21, she has a fine new husband, and an adorable 3 month old granddaughter. Christi has been using her experience to “pay it forward” by convincing two other people that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams of a better career and mentoring them through their college experience. Christi is definitely a role model for other adult students and her “never give up” attitude will serve her and her employer well in her career and life. Congratulations to Christi!

Livingston County Participant Recognition

Vittoria DiNitto Nominated by Livingston County Office of

Workforce Development

Vittoria found herself in a very bad situation, with no income, and very little to her name and she made the difficult decision of relocating from Canada to the United States to be with family. Due to the circumstances or her leaving, she was only able to bring very little with her so consequently it was a process for her to obtain proper documentation to allow her to work in the United States. Once able to support herself, she now found no means of self-support, no self-confidence, and having to start all over again. She sought out local Social Services for help and was referred to Workforce Development’s job search readiness workshop where she actively participated and took advantage of all the services provided. She worked very closely with counselors and willingly worked toward her goal while slowly navigating through all the red tape. Today she has her “green card” is employed part-time with the Nunda Post Office and is a deputy with the Livingston County Jail. Congratulations to Vittoria!

Orleans County Participant Recognition

Jessie McDonnell Nominated by Orleans County Job Development Agency

Jessie interviewed at Job Development for the Certified Nurse Aide training course that they were sponsoring at The Villages Nursing Home. She was feeling frustrated and finding it difficult to advance with her previous and current employers. She was genuine, reliable, and hardworking as evidenced by her employment history. She was sure of herself and her commitment to this healthcare career field. Due to her experience as a Personal Care Aide, medical office assistant training, and work history, it was certain that Jessie would be a great candidate for the CNA program from start to finish. She wanted to stay current with employment market and wages. She stated that the healthcare field is growing along with the elderly population which meant job security to her. She successfully completed the CNA program and certification. She obtained a full time position with a home health care agency, which was her goal. She is thankful for the opportunity to advance her skills that led her to a fulfilling career. Congratulations to Jessie!

Wyoming County Participant Recognition

Sarah Miller Nominated by Wyoming County Community Action

Sarah moved to Wyoming County at the beginning of 2017. Sarah is disabled and had not worked in a number of years. She was at a point in her life where she wanted to return to the workforce, begin her career path again, and increase her earning potential. She contacted Wyoming County Community Action asking to speak with our Disability Resource Coordinator. She had met with a DRC in Otsego County before moving and wanted to continue to research opportunities that would assist her in returning to work. Staff met with Sarah to discuss her goals and review work supports that were available to her in achieving her goal. She decided to participate with WCCA’s Ticket to Work Program and also register in the WIOA workforce program. She met with staff to discuss training options and employment. Sarah expressed an interest in attending the Cattaraugus/Allegany BOCES CNA program. This training program also offered dual certification for Certified Nurse Aide and Home Health Aide. Due to circumstances in Sarah’s history she has struggled with her self-confidence. While having a desire to return to work and renew her career goals, the process of beginning again was challenging. She was unsure if she would have transportation to attend training but she kept moving forward, one step at a time. Sarah struggled getting through the training’s pre-requisite requirements but ultimately she persisted and was accepted into the CA BOCES Nursing Assistant program and also for sponsorship with WIOA training resources. Sarah negotiated an agreement to borrow a friend’s vehicle to get back and forth. In May 2017 Sarah successfully completed both the HHA and CNA training. She has since secured employment as a CNA at Fiddler’s Green Manor in Springville. Through WCCA’s Ticket to Work Program she continues to work with our DRC to apply for services that will assist with future goals. She has prepared a Plan for Achieving Self-Support (PASS) and is considering training as an LPN. Congratulations to Sarah!

Samantha came to the Genesee County Career Center in search of work to help pay some college tuition. It was determined that she had no previous work experience. She was very motivated yet had some barriers to conquer such as transportation, extreme shyness, among others that made it difficult for her to secure work. She pushed aside her anxiety and with support from the Genesee County Career Center staff and went to the Byron Bergen Public Library by herself and sought a job. After her enrollment into the youth program in June and some workshops, she was ready to start. She excitedly began her work experience July 5, 2017. She wanted to start sooner but they were closed for the holiday weekend. She started by cleaning and right away it was discovered that she had a willingness to learn new things. Not only did she learn the Dewey Decimal NIOGA system for returning materials to the shelves she mastered it. Taking pride and increasing her confidence. She continued to progress to being able to provide customer service to those that entered the library by overcoming her

shyness. Samantha adapted so well at the library that her hours were increased as well as her duties. Her evaluations blossomed “takes initiative and exceeds expectations”. Samantha self- esteem soared to new heights and her soft skills grew to new lengths. She is currently seeking career options and chasing dream jobs that she thought previously she could never reach! Congratulations to Samantha!

Wyoming County Youth Recognition

Shawn Blanc Nominated by Wyoming County Community Action

In Fall of 2016, Shawn enrolled in Wyoming Community Action’s Work Experience Program. At that point in his life Shawn had a strong determination to overcome his barriers and pursue a career in culinary arts. Unfortunately, like many, transportation and other barriers made it difficult for him to secure employment, but Shawn did not give up. Instead he mapped out his goals and surrounded himself with a positive network to assist in achieving them. Shortly after his enrollment, Shawn realized that the applications he was submitting were not enough and that he needed to set himself apart from his peers and that is exactly what he did. Shawn began researching the skills and work values related to a career in culinary arts and obtained his Food Handler Certification through the National Restaurant Association. He attended various workshops on Becoming Part of Tomorrows Workforce and gained the confidence and knowledge needed to set him apart from his peers. Three months after his enrollment he was placed in a temporary work experience at Wyoming County Community Health Systems as a Dietary Aide. Upon completion of his work experience, Shawn was hired on fulltime and has been a reliable and crucial part of that department for the last year. Recently he has been asked by

his supervisor to train new employees and to attend many department meetings within the hospital. Congratulations to Shawn!

Program year 2016 was another successful year for youth programing in GLOW. With increased focus on out-of-school youth programming GLOW service providers assisted youth in building the skills they need to be successful in the world of work. GLOW youth counselors utilized classroom trainings, on-the-job trainings, and work experiences all to upgrade skills and provide opportunity for long term career success. As we move into the New Year, the Youth committee will change names to the Emerging Workforce committee and focus on building a youth system that will assist all partners from all of the WIOA titles in serving their customers. A special thanks to all of the youth committee members and Youth providers that continue to provide meaningful opportunities for our youth.
