PROGRAM YEAR 2013/2014 YOUTH PROGRAM PLANNING

Ms. Hammonds directed the Council’s attention to Attachment C of the agenda packet and

stated that this is the competitive year for Lumber River Local Area WIA Programs. The

Workforce Development staff requested permission to proceed with soliciting proposals for

operation of WIA Title I (B) Youth, Adult and Dislocated Workers Programs for Bladen,

Hoke, Richmond, Robeson and Scotland Counties. Ms. Hammonds discussed the schedule

for review, award and notification of proposing agencies and stated that due to scheduling

conflicts, the dates had been modified from those outlined in Attachment C. The following

information was presented and approved by the Lumber River Workforce Development

Board.

Program Start-up Date July 1, 2013

Attachment D of the agenda was a draft of the Workforce Investment Act Year Round Youth

Activities Request for Proposal for PY 2013-2014. Ms. Hammonds queried the Council on

modifications and comments to implement into the draft proposal. One area of particular

interest was how to measure the comprehensive performance accountability practices of the

WIA Service providers. Ms. McIntyre informed those in attendance that at the end of the

current fiscal year, Lumber River Workforce Development will no longer contract with ESC to

operate Adult and Dislocated Worker programs. There was discussion about performance

accountability and how contractors should be held responsible, in a timely manner, for

repetitive problems. Chairperson Robinson suggested that modifications and comments to

be implemented into the draft proposal should be sent via e-mail to Ms. Hammonds and Ms.

McIntyre.

Ms. McIntyre stated that a modification to the monitoring process will be developed to

include a good standing principle; the council suggested implementing similar guidelines

from the Public Schools Rubric Evaluation model. The modification will be incorporated in

the RFP negotiations in March 2013.

Workforce Development Board meetings and questioned those in attendance whether to

continue with the current timetable. It was the general consensus that the Youth Council

meeting. The Workforce Development staff will develop and e-mail a meeting schedule to

This story can fit 175-225 words.

If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this

story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good

idea to make it easy to read at a glance.

A question and answer session is a good

way to quickly capture the attention of

readers. You can either compile questions

that you’ve received since the last edition or

you can summarize some generic questions

that are frequently asked about your

organization.

A listing of names and titles of managers in

your organization is a good way to give your

newsletter a personal touch. If your

organization is small, you may want to list

the names of all employees.

If you have any prices of standard products

or services, you can include a listing of

those here. You may want to refer your

readers to any other forms of

communication that you’ve created for your

organization.

You can also use this space to remind

readers to mark their calendars for a

regular event, such as a breakfast meeting

for vendors every third Tuesday of the

month, or a biannual charity auction.

If space is available, this is a good place to

insert a clip art image or some other

graphic.
