BACKGROUND

John Chamberlain facilitated the 2012 WIB Strategic Planning Session which was held on January 25, 2012. A total of 12 individuals attended providing representation from a broad sector of partners; Community Based Organizations, Economic Development, Educational Entity, Employment Development, Housing, Local Government, Private Sector Employers, and Workforce Investment Act Programs. The group validated the current Strategic Plan but recommended a few revisions. These recommendations/action items were provided to the WIB Executive Committee on March 28, 2012:

1. Youth a. Add a fourth initiative:

i. Measure and increase the number of youth who get hired

35

ii. Measure and increase the number of employers who use the Work Ready Certificate

2. Business Services a. Executive Committee to review the recommendation regarding the

development of a business services task group: i. Marketing with Chambers of Commerce ii. Developing relationships with employers iii. Outreach to employers

3. One-Stop Partnership a. Executive Committee to review the recommendation regarding the

development of a business marketing task group: i. Marketing ii. Collaborating with chambers iii. Follow-up with employers iv. Re-educate members about the WIB v. Bring job leads

As a result of the WIB Executive Committees discussion the three actions items were reduced to one. It was decided that action item one (1) was not obtainable because the WIB does not have access to a tracking system that could provide the requested data; measure and increase the number of youth who get hired. Since the target group (employers) and resources (One-Stop Partners) where the same for both action item two (2) and three (3) they were combined. Thus, the action item was integrated into the previous strategic plan which had been validated at the strategic planning session in January 2012 to produce the PY 2012-13 WIB Strategic Goals and Initiatives as outlined in the table above.

AGENCY COORDINATION

Based on the individuals that attended the 2012 WIB Strategic Planning Session, agency coordination includes Community Based Organizations, Economic Development, Educational Entity, Employment Development, Housing, Local Government, Private Sector Employers, and Workforce Investment Act Programs as well as the WIB Executive Committee.

GRAND JURY County of Yolo

P. o. Box 2142 Woodland, California 95776

2011-2012

FINAL REPORT

YOLO COUNTY WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD

June 7, 2012

37

YOLO COUNTY WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD

SUMMARY

Workforce Investment Board (WIB) membership composition is mandated by the Federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and must include members from a variety of community and business sectors of Yolo County (YC). The majority of members must be from the business sector.

The WIB has authority to make policy decisions for the YC One Stop Career Centers (One Stops). The Grand Jury determined that the WIB is often the passive recipient of information provided by the One Stop operators rather than the initiator of policy.

The Grand Jury found the following concerns:

• a lack of quorum at board meetings

• a deficit in the requisite number of business members

• business members may not have "optimum hiring authority or policy making authority"

REASONS FOR THE INVESTIGATION

Given the high level of local unemployment, the Grand Jury was interested in learning more about the current labor market and the County's effort to create jobs and provide employment services.

California Penal Code sections 925 and 925a allow the Grand Jury to investigate and report on the operations, accounts, and records of the officers, departments, or functions of the county, including special districts and any incorporated city or joint powers agency located in the county.

ACTIONS TAKEN

The Grand Jury attended three WIB general meetings, one executive committee meeting, and toured the One Stops, located in Woodland and West Sacramento.

The Grand Jury interviewed:

• WIB members • Department of Employment and Social Services (DESS) staff • One Stop staff

38

The Grand Jury reviewed:

• federal legislation • state regulations • state reeertification documents • local resolutions, protocols and policies • WlB orientation materials and by-laws • WlB minutes, agendas and marketing materials • job websites including the Virtual One Stop

WHAT THE JURY DETERMINED

The Workforce Investment Board

The WIA provides funds for local communities to assist job seekers, develop a work-ready labor force and to assist employers in understanding the local labor market, job creation and rapid response to downsizing. In Yolo County, this work is performed by the One Stops, operated by the DESS, with oversight by the WlB.

The WlB is a partnership of business, labor, education, non-profit, government and community leaders. The WlB is "to promote the participation of private sector employers in workforce investment activities." WlB membership composition is mandated by federal law (the WIA), as supplemented by state law. Board of Supervisors (BOS) Resolution 08-77 states membership must include:

• a majority from local private business • two educational entities • 10-15% from labor organizations • two community-based organizations • two economic development agencies • each ofYolo County's One Stop Partners

The number of members (listed on the WlB roster as 39) can vary according to the percent of labor (10-15%) and the number of One Stop partners. New members do not receive fonnal orientation to legislative mandates, program operations or One Stop tours.

WIB by-laws state that "Representatives of local business organizations and business trade organizations shall be nominated by local business organizations and business trade organizations. They shall include individuals with optimum policy making or hiring authority. They shall represent businesses that reflect employment opportunities in Yolo County." (Resolution 08-77 Section 2e (i» The WIB membership application form does not screen for "optimum policy making or hiring authority".

39

Certification olthe WIB

All WlB's in Califomia were subject to recertification in December 2010 by the Califomia WlB. Recertification depended on the achievement of perfonnance standards for emplo)1nent of adults, dislocated workers, and youth, a showing that the W lB had carried out its mandated functions and complied with the membership requirements of the WlB. The WlB was required to explain any vacant positions.

In October 2010, the Yolo County WIB responded to the State, reporting six members short of the required business member majority. In explanation, the YC WlB noted that the vacancy times "vary due to the downturn in the economy resulting in business closures, and the expiration of tenn dates". The need to recruit business members was recognized and a recruitment strategy including "current board members reaching out to their business association contacts with thc intent ofhaving a business majority by the end of fiscal year 2010" was indicated.

Thc YC WlB was recertified by the California Workforce Investment Board in December 20 I O. However, because a majority of business members was lacking, the WlB is subject to continued reporting requirements, including a recommendation to provide a "timeline for recruiting business members". To date, no timeline has been submitted.

Business Membership

Business member attendance at board meetings has been sporadic, with some members not attending at all, contributing to a lack of a quorum. WIB by-laws pennit removal of a member after three absences from the meetings, although this provision has never been used.

In July 2011, after limited success in recruiting private business representatives, the WIB assigned DESS staff, on a half-time basis, to recruit business members. The WlB is currently four members short of the required business member majority.

YC has a fann based economy. Testimony showed that no effort has been made to recruit members from agribusiness.

Quorum at Board Meetings

Due to a lack ofquorum at previous meetings, the January 2012 agenda packet was 62 pages, much of which was previously un-ratified business. Minutes are not immediately available due to lack of quorum to ratify minutes.

In 2010, the WlB lacked a quorum for two meetings out of six and in 20 II attendance fell short of a quorum four out of six meetings. The current Board has considered increasing the meetings from bi-monthly to monthly in the hope of increasing commitment among its members. However, monthly meetings in 2009 also fell short of a quorum half the time. One Stop Oversight

40

The WIB is bTfanted responsibilities for the One Stops. In its recertification request, the WIB certified that it perfonns mandated functions including "ProbTfam oversight: The WIB provides guidance and oversight by establishing local policies for the One Stops, with focus on responsiveness to community and changing economic conditions".

The Grand Jury detennined that the WIB is often the passive recipient of infonnation provided by the One Stop operators, rather than the initiator of policy.

DESS combines employment and social services at the One Stops. While the availability of these social services is a boon to the One Stops' job seekers, Board members acknowledge it does contribute to the misperception on the part of business that the One Stop has little to offer the business community.

The One Stops' current promotional packet advertises an "employer hot-line". Despite the WIB's stated intent to reach out to business, witnesses interviewed by the Grand Jury had no knowledge of what the "employer hotline" was or what it did.

FINDINGS

Fl The general public and some businesses may not be aware of the services of the WIB and One Stop Career Centers.

F2 The WIB has not actively recruited abrribusiness to the Board.

F3 The WIB business members are not screened for having "optimum policy making or hiring authority".

F4 New WIB members do not receive formal orientation to legislative mandates, program operations or One-Stop tours.

FS The business members of the WIB do not take an active role in establishing policy, but rather, are the recipients of infonnation provided by the One Stop Career Centers.

F6 Ratification of WIB actions have been delayed due to the lack of a quorum at many scheduled board meetings.

F7 The WlB has not recommended removal of any members for absences of three or more, as pennitted by their by-laws.

F8 Attracting business members to the Workforce Investment Board is a long standing issue in Yolo County. The WIB has not provided a timeline for recruiting business members nor have WIB members actively recruited from the business community.

41

RECOMMENDATIONS

Rl The WIB should create linkages with the business community and enlist aid fi'om cities, Chambers of Commerce and the Yolo County Board of Supervisors to support their marketing efforts to increase public and business awareness of the WlB while increasing the WlB's connection to the business community.

R2 WlB members should actively recruit members from businesses, including agribusiness.

R3 The WlB application for business membership should be revised to screen for "optimum policy making or hiring authority".

R4 WlB members should tour and receive an orientation to the One Stops in both Woodland and West Sacramento by December 31, 2012.

R5 The WIB should provide the State with a timeline for recruiting business members by December 31, 2012.

R6 Member absences from WlB meetings should be reviewed. Absent members should be contacted to detennine their interest in continuing with the WlB.

R7 WlB should provide services to unemployed individuals of any economic status by marketing the on-line career services of the One Stop.

R8 The WlB should circulate infonnational minutes to keep WIB members infonned and interested.

May 9, 2012 l. Receive WSIN11-48 WIA Formula Allocations-PY 2012-13

Nancy O’Hara Our allocations came in a little higher than anticipated the down fall is when we estimated our allocations we were 300,000 over and had to make some cuts to the WIA program. With the cuts we came in at 100,000 and were still 200,000 in cuts. Based on our estimates these allocations will be manageable. We were able to a little more this year because the year before we had ARRA funds and the State held us harmless. The State allowed us to spend those funds and allowed us carry over from year 10-11 into 11-12. For the year 12-13 we will go back to our usual allocations. Allocations are as follows: PY 2012-13 Total Allocation Youth Program 838,920 Adult Program 597,731 Dislocated Worker Program 642,777 We have not received the Rapid Response but our allocation is used for the layoff aversion and that is usually 200,000 for the year.

FILING INSTRUCTIONS:

This directive finalizes Workforce Services Draft Directive WSDD-66, issued for comment on March 13, 2012. The Workforce Services Division received 57 comments during the draft comment period. The comments received resulted in 6 substantive changes to the directive which are viewed as highlighted text. The highlighted text will remain on the Internet for 30 days from the issuance date. A summary of the comments is provided as Attachment 2. Retain this directive until further notice. BACKGROUND:

SB 734 (Chapter 498, Statutes of 2011) added Section 14211 to the CUIC. This section imposes new training expenditure requirements on local boards carrying out WIA funded programs and details the actions that must be taken in the event that a local board does not meet the specified requirements. POLICY AND PROCEDURES:

Definition of Terms

Note: These definitions apply to this directive only and are independent of the definitions included in Workforce Services Directive WSD09-11, Quarterly and Monthly Financial Reporting Requirements. Cash Contributions - Federal and/or non-federal contributions of funds made available to the Subrecipient to be used for training services. Examples include federal and/or non-federal money received from employers, foundations, private entities, local governments, etc. In-Kind Contributions - Federal and/or non-federal contributions of non-cash resources used for training services. Examples include donated personnel, services, or use of equipment or space. Job Readiness Training- “Job readiness training includes services that teach skills needed to be successful in the workplace, rather than skills needed to get into the workplace. Following Section 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, job readiness training should provide participants with specific occupational competencies needed to perform specific work tasks on the job. For example, job readiness training courses could teach WIA clients skills such as how to communicate in an office environment, how to function as part of a team, or how to work in a deadline driven workplace. In each of these instances, the focus of the training would be on competencies needed to succeed during the workday while on the job. The focus of job readiness training is not on the skills needed to find and apply for a job, for example, services that focus on the way one conducts a job search, or how to do an interview, or how to write a resume. Under the federal statute, these services are classified either as Core or Intensive services in WIA section 134. For example, job search assistance is defined as a core service, while group counseling or prevocational services focused on resume writing and interview skills are both classified as intensive services. These types of services do not qualify as training because they do not provide the client with competencies needed to perform specific tasks on the job. As such they do not qualify

56

Page 3 of 8

under the definition of a training program outlined in Section 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, and do not qualify as training expenditures under SB 734. Leveraged Resources - All federal and non-federal resources (cash contributions and in-kind contributions) used by the Subrecipient and/or Subrecipient Contractor for training services. Leveraged resources must be allowable and auditable under the WIA program, and meet the requirements included in the “Leveraged Resources” section of this directive. Match - Resources expended to support training services, if required as a condition of funding. Match resources can be cash match and/or in-kind contribution match. Match resources must meet the requirements included in the “Leveraged Resources” section of this directive. Subrecipient - An organization funded directly by the State. Subrecipient Contractor - An organization funded by the Subrecipient. Training Services – See the “Training Services” section of this directive. Required Training Expenditure Level

Beginning Program Year (PY) 2012-13, local boards are required to spend at least 25 percent of the combined total of their adult and dislocated worker WIA formula fund allocations on workforce training services. This minimum training expenditure requirement does not apply to the youth WIA formula fund allocation. A portion of the minimum training expenditure requirement (an amount of up to 10 percent of the combined total of the adult and dislocated worker formula fund allocation) may be met by applying designated leveraged resources used for training services. See the “Leveraged Resources” section on pages 6-7 of this directive. Example 1: Local Board meets the training requirement using adult and/or dislocated worker formula funds combined with leveraged resources. For PY 2012-13, a local board receives $1,000,000 in WIA adult formula funds and $2,000,000 in WIA dislocated worker formula funds. The following example displays how the training expenditure requirement would be calculated.

Total adult and dislocated worker formula fund allocations (Calculation: $1,000,000+$2,000,000) $3,000,000

Minimum training expenditure requirement (Calculation: $3,000,000 X 25%) $750,000

Leveraged resources applied to training expenditure requirement (Calculation: $3,000,000 X 10%) ($300,000)

Required formula fund training expenditure (Calculation: $750,000-$300,000) ($450,000)

In this example, the local board must spend at least $450,000 on training services using WIA adult and/or dislocated worker formula fund allocation dollars. There is no requirement that a specific amount be spent from each allocation (WIA adult vs. WIA

57

Page 4 of 8

dislocated worker), therefore the $450,000 could be WIA adult funds, WIA dislocated worker funds, or a combination of both. Example 2: Local board meets the training expenditure requirement using WIA adult and/or dislocated worker formula funds only (no leveraged resources).

For PY 2012-13, a local board receives $1,000,000 in WIA adult formula funds and $2,000,000 in WIA dislocated worker formula funds. The following example displays how the training expenditure requirement would be calculated.

Total adult and dislocated worker formula fund allocations (Calculation: $1,000,000+$2,000,000 leveraged) $3,000,000

Minimum training expenditure requirement (Calculation: $3,000,000 X 25%) $750,000

In this example, the local board is not using any leveraged resources to meet the training expenditure requirement and therefore, must spend at least $750,000 on training services using WIA adult and/or dislocated worker formula fund allocation dollars. There is no requirement that a specified amount be spent from each allocation (WIA adult vs. WIA dislocated worker) therefore the $750,000 could be WIA adult funds, WIA dislocated worker funds, or a combination of both. Beginning PY 2016-17, the minimum training expenditure requirement will increase from 25 percent to 30 percent. Local boards will be required to spend at least 30 percent of their combined adult and dislocated worker WIA formula fund allocations on workforce training services. This minimum training expenditure requirement does not apply to the youth WIA formula fund allocations. A portion of the minimum training expenditure requirement (an amount up to 10 percent of the adult and dislocated worker formula fund allocation) may be met by applying designated leveraged resources used for training services. See the “Leveraged Resources” section on pages 6-7 of this directive. Training Services

In order to apply toward the minimum training expenditure requirement, formula funds and leveraged resources must be expended on WIA adult or dislocated worker participants enrolled in a training activity in the Employment Development Department (EDD) California Workforce Services Network (CWSN) system. Formula funds and leveraged resources spent on WIA core, WIA intensive services, and supportive services may not be applied toward the minimum training expenditure requirement. Training services may include:

• Occupational skills training, including training for nontraditional employment • On-the-job training • Programs that combine workplace training with related instruction, which may include

cooperative education programs • Training programs operated by the private sector • Skill upgrading and retraining • Entrepreneurial training

58

Page 5 of 8

• Job readiness training

• Adult education and literacy activities provided in combination with one or more of the other training services listed above

• Customized training conducted with a commitment by an employer or group of employers to employ an individual upon successful completion of the training

For an expenditure to be considered a training service and count toward the minimum training expenditure required by SB 734, the service must meet the definition of training contained in WIA Section 134(d)(4)(D), and Sections 663.300 and 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Section 663.300 of Title 20 establishes that the list in Section 134 (d)(4)(D) of WIA is not exhaustive. However Section 663.300 of Title 20 does not allow local boards to simply count anything and everything toward the minimum training expenditure requirement contained in SB 734. For a service to qualify as training it must also meet the definition of a training program in Section 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations which defines training in the following manner:

§ 663.508 What is a “program of training services”? A program of training services is one or more courses or classes, or a structured regimen, that upon successful completion, leads to:

(a) A certificate, an associate degree, baccalaureate degree, or (b) The skills or competencies needed for a specific job or jobs, an occupation,

occupational group, or generally, for many types of jobs or occupations, as recognized by employers and determined prior to training.

The conceptual emphasis in Section 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations is on structured learning leading to the attainment of competencies needed on the job to perform one’s job duties. The goal of training is for workers to attain specific occupational skill-sets needed to perform work tasks during the workday. There is a three-pronged test local boards can use to determine whether a service provided counts toward the minimum training expenditure required under SB 734.

1. Is the service defined as a core or intensive service under WIA? If so, the service cannot be counted toward the training minimum.

2. Is the service defined as training under WIA section 134(d)(4)(D)? If so, the service can be counted toward the training minimum.

3. If the service is not listed as training under WIA section 134(d)(4)(D) but does meet the definition of training in Section 663.508 of Title 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations, it may also be counted toward the training minimum. The determining factors are whether the services are provided through a structured learning process and whether this learning process leads to the attainment of skills or competencies needed to perform work duties during the course of the workday. In summary, the service should lead to greater labor productivity on the job.

As a reminder, customized training, on-the-job training, and incumbent worker training do not require ETPL eligibility or the use of individual training accounts (ITA). Local boards

59

Page 6 of 8

are encouraged to invest in training programs customized for growth industry sectors and in training that directly leads to employment. Additionally, local boards are encouraged to seek cost savings in the provision of universal services through coordination and integration with other One-Stop partners. Leveraged Resources

Local boards may apply leveraged resources used for training services toward meeting a portion of their minimum training expenditure requirement (an amount of up to 10 percent of their adult and dislocated worker formula fund allocation). Local boards may apply only the following leveraged funds as part of the 10 percent credit:

• Federal Pell Grants established under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 • Public programs authorized by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (e.g., Job

Corps, Migrant Seasonal Farm Worker, Rapid Response, WIA Title II Adult Education and Literacy, national and state WIA discretionary grants, WIA youth program, etc.) Local boards are permitted to apply youth formula funds expended on training for individuals ages 18-21 as a leveraged resource if: (1) the individuals are co-enrolled in either the WIA adult or dislocated worker program, and (2) the training meets all requirements set forth in this directive.

• Trade adjustment assistance • Department of Labor National Emergency Grants • Match funds from employers, industry, and industry associations (including the

employer paid portion of on-the-job training and customized training) • Match funds from joint labor-management trusts • Employment training panel grants Local boards are not required to use leveraged resources toward meeting the minimum training expenditure requirement. However, if a local board does choose this option, they must report all leveraged resources applied as part of the 10 percent credit in Attachment 1, Summary of Leveraged Resources. Additionally, they must keep sufficient records of the leveraged resources which can be independently verified by the EDD. In order to allow local boards maximum flexibility in using leveraged resources, the EDD does not specifically define what would classify as sufficient records. However, some examples of documentation that could qualify as sufficient records would include: • A commitment letter or written agreement from an employer or training provider • A training agreement with an employer detailing the employer’s contribution • A copy of the Pell Grant award letter or relevant correspondence from the school • An executed worksite agreement and participant time record • A participant progress report and/or evidence of completion

This list is not all inclusive. Local boards have the discretion to determine what constitutes sufficient records. This determination may vary depending on the Local Workforce Investment Area.

60

Costs arising from the recordkeeping required to demonstrate compliance with leveraged resources requirements are the responsibility of the local board. Note: All leveraged resources reported under this directive must also be included in the amounts reported under Section VII, Miscellaneous Items, of the WIA Summary of Expenditures Report (see WSD09-11, Quarterly and Monthly Financial Reporting Requirements). Procedures

The EDD will calculate training expenditures for each local board within six months after the end of the second program year of the two-year period availability of funds (e.g., the EDD will calculate training expenditures for PY 2012-13 funds by December 31, 2014, and will provide to each local board).

Formula Funds

The EDD will use the information provided in Section V, line 4 of the WIA Summary of Expenditures Report to calculate training expenditures of formula funds. Leveraged Resources

Local boards applying leveraged resources toward the minimum training requirement should submit a signed copy of Attachment 1, Summary of Leveraged Resources, to the EDD no later than the October 1st following the end of the two-year period of fund availability. Local boards may mail, hand deliver, or fax the completed summary as follows:

Mail: Financial Management Unit, MIC 69

Workforce Services Division Employment Development Department 722 Capitol Mall, Room 5099 Sacramento, CA 95814

FAX: (916) 654-9753, Attn: Financial Management Unit

Corrective Action

Any local board that does not meet the minimum training expenditure requirement will be required to submit a corrective action plan to the EDD that provides reasons for not meeting the requirement and actions the local board will take to address the training expenditure deficiencies. If required, the corrective action plan will be due within 90 days

61

Expiration Date: 7/14/14 69:184:df:15621 TO: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY SUBJECT: WIA LOCAL PLANS EXTENSION The purpose of this Information Notice is to inform the Workforce Development Community that the California Workforce Investment Board (CWIB) has sent a letter to Local Workforce Investment Boards extending their Workforce Investment Act (WIA) local plans through June 30, 2013. Existing Program Year (PY) 2011-12 plans have been approved by the CWIB for the PY 2012-13. A copy of the letter is attached and is also available online (Extension of WIA Local Plan for PY 2012-13). In order to meet current and future challenges facing the workforce system, the CWIB is providing a framework for regional cooperation and investment and is responding to the policy direction of the workforce legislation enacted by Governor Brown by initiating a comprehensive review and realignment of California’s five-year WIA State Strategic Plan. To accomplish this, the CWIB has received authorization from the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to submit the State Plan by September 15, 2012. Local planning guidance will follow submission of the state plan to DOL. The PY 2013-14 local plans will be due to the CWIB on April 1, 2013, and will be effective July 1, 2013.

June 5, 2012 DEAR LOCAL WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD DIRECTORS AND CHAIRPERSONS, Re: EXTENSION OF WORKFORCE INVESTMENT ACT (WIA) LOCAL PLAN FOR PROGRAM YEAR (PY) 2012-2013 The purpose of this letter is to inform you that your WIA local plan has been extended through June 30, 2013. Please accept this letter as the State Board’s formal approval of your local plan for the Program Year (PY) 2012-13.

The State Board, with the participation of State-level directors of partner agencies, has initiated a comprehensive review and realignment of the vision, goals and priorities of the state WIA Strategic Plan. On May 14th and May 30th, State Board staff led informal working

group meetings of State directors to brainstorm ideas for the “Governor’s Vision” for Section I of the State Plan. Our intent is to ultimately get 1) consensus on common goals for the system that are both actionable and achievable and 2) commitment on specific actions from each State partner. Participants included EDD, Labor Agency, Community College Chancellor’s Office, Employment Training Panel, Division of Apprenticeship Standards, Department of Education, Health and Human Services, and the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz). To ensure this strategic plan addresses the most salient workforce goals and priorities of our state, we will be seeking engagement and suggestions from you and other workforce system champions in this planning effort. This July, we will convene at least three regional focus group meetings to solicit input and recommendations. Hosted by LWIBs, each focus group will consist of around 25 invitees representing broad regional partnerships -- LWIBs, public colleges, K-12 adult education and career tech providers, CBOs, unions, and business leaders. Targeted invitees will be folks with deep experience building multi-partner, sector-based programs and career pathways. The regional focus groups are not for the necessary broad stakeholder input and public comment. Rather they will provide the opportunity to verify what comes out from the State partners – i.e. do the goals represent real system improvement, and can we operationalize at the regional level?

The new 5-year state strategic plan will be submitted to the Department of Labor by September 15, 2012. We are committed to developing a plan that responds to the current and foreseen challenges faced by the entire workforce system, provides a framework for regional cooperation and investment, encourages continuous improvement of services to

clients and business, and responds to the policy direction contained in workforce legislation enacted by Governor Brown. This change also requires that a new strategic plan be developed for your local area. We are cognizant of the time needed to complete a meaning local planning cycle and will do all we can to provide the maximum amount of time possible. We will be providing planning guidance for the local planning effort in the near future. We look forward to working with you in this important effort. Sincerely,

Tim Rainey Executive Director cc: EDD\WSB LWDA

Expiration Date: 7/28/14 50:01:va:15676 TO: WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY SUBJECT: CWSN IMPLEMENTATION DELAY The purpose of this Information Notice is to inform the workforce development community that implementation of the new California Workforce Services Network (CWSN) has been delayed. The new CalJOBS portion of CWSN was scheduled for implementation on July 2, 2012, but now will not go live until later this summer. A number of issues have contributed to this decision including the need to resolve reporting and data conversion issues, continue testing of the interfaces with other programs, and make final arrangements for some of the supporting services being provided by the department. The current CalJOBS and Job Training Automation systems will be maintained and remain in operational status until the new system is implemented and in full use by jobseekers, employers, partner staff, and Employment Development Department staff. At this time we do not have a revised implementation date; however, we expect to go live before the end of August. As soon as a specific date is established, we will advise the specifics along with the planned system down time and any other requirements. If you have any questions, please contact Art O’Neal at (916) 654-9699. /S/ MICHAEL EVASHENK, Chief
