D. Endorsement of External Grants and Applications The following opportunities requested Board support: Texas Workforce Commission, Skills Development Grant Richland College- Garland Campus will partner with Associa and the Richardson Chamber of Commerce to offer training to 100 current workers and 300 new hires. Associa is a growing and company that is expanding within the Richardson area. This training will enable current workers and new hires to receive training in accounting, excel, customer service and lean office basics. Richland College – Garland Campus will partner with the Dallas County Manufacturing Association to serve 345 trainees. Employer partners include: Atlas Copco Drilling Solutions, Sherwin Williams, The Buferd Co., and Work Area Protection. Ready to Work The Department of Labor has released $150 million in revenues from the H-1B visa program to fund the Ready to Work grant program. Ready to Work is intended to support partnerships among employers, non-profits and the workforce system to provide long-term unemployed individuals with the range of services, training, and access they need to fill middle and high-skill jobs. WFSDallas is partnering with Creating IT Futures Foundation (CITFF), Per Scholas and CompTIA to provide intensive IT industry certification and soft skills training, as well as customized support services for 50 Dallas County residents who have been out of work for more than 27 weeks. The Per Scholas model was recently honored as a national best practice during the White House announcement of its focus on helping the long-term unemployed get back into the labor force. AARP The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Foundation has invited WFSDallas to apply for a Workforce Investment Board Expansion Grant to build a national network in support of its Back to Work 50+ (BTW 50+) campaign. BTW 50+ is dedicated to moving low income, unemployed people age 50+ from instability to stability by increasing their income through employment. This grant opportunity provides a mechanism for participating organizations to build their internal capacity for linking 50+ job candidates to in-demand jobs. It was recommended that the Board approve ratification to approve the above grant applications. E. Lease Recommendations Three Leases are up for discussion. It was recommended that the Board approve ratification to the amendment with One Main Place and to authorize approval of the Southwest workforce center lease renewal, as presented above. Gilbert Gerst made the motion to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion passed with Julie Bugala seconding. Dr. Joe May and Leslie Boyd abstained. Means, Ends, and Expectations Monthly Performance Analysis - President Laurie Larrea referenced Page 16 stated all measures are at meeting or exceeding goal with some very positive trending. Noteworthy is the rapid improvement in Choices Full Work Rate, now topping 106.54% of goal. Claimant Reemployment within 10 weeks is still a work in progress and may realize significant decline before corrections are complete. Other measures appear to be solid. Monthly Financial Analysis & Financial Statements - President Larrea mentioned that an analysis of grant spending showed no new issues. As we begin a new grant cycle in Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding for July 1, we present recommendations for contract extensions, reclassification, and additional sums necessary to complete the July/September quarter. New contracts begin on October 1, but we are required to following the funding streams for obligation purposes. Employer Engagement - President Larrea referenced Page 24-25 pointing to the summary of new hire activity, industry trends, a briefing on the Mining, Logging and Construction industry, and layoff updates. There is pronounced up-tick in layoffs compared to last year, but the numbers are still small. President Larrea referenced the Workforce Technologies summary which is used by the board to obtain labor market information and by workforce centers to look for employers and by job seekers to apply for employment. President’s Briefing A. Special presentation provided by Lee Ann Valerio for language skills and proposed collaboration with DFW International Community Alliance. B.

ResCare Contract Amendment

It was recommended that the Board give authorization to extend the existing WIA Youth contracts through September 30, 2014; with additional funds to ResCare Workforce Services and SER Jobs for Progress National as recommended. The DCCCD Richland College contract will be considered in July.

Ratification of Class-sized Training Opportunities and Special Projects. It was recommended that the Board give authorization to add class-size training and on-the-job/work-based training as options in the local workforce delivery system. Kenneth Bernstein made motion to accept staff’s recommendations to above contract amendments with Carlos Marroquin seconding. The motion passed with Dr. Joe May abstaining.

I. Authorization of Contracts, Partnerships and Agreements President Larrea referenced Pages 27and 28 of the board packet stating that due to differing criteria, the board is recommending a return to the original matrix that existed prior to 2013, and ResCare agrees. It was recommended that the Board give authorization to approve the profit matrix as presented for the FY14 ResCare contract with the deletion of the following information presented above: I. FY14 ResCare Contract – Profit Matrix-The profit matrix for ResCare’s contract is up for review with the new procurement and new proposal to remove the Claimant Reemployment within 10 weeks measure and combine the three Choices measures into one measure. The Board specific Non-Custodial Parent measure will remain the same as with no changes. Gilbert Gerst made the motion to approve the profit matrix as presented for the FY14 ResCare contract with the deletion of the above information as presented in the board packet. The motion passed with Julie Bugala seconding. C. Policy I. Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Unrestricted Resources Local Policy Modification It was recommended that the Board approve ratification to amend local policy from Restricted Resources to Unrestricted Resources beginning on May 1st.

Dallas Regional Industry Employment Gains (Year Over Year)May 2013 – May 2014

The Dallas Morning News reports that DFW hasmoved into the No. 1 spot among MetropolitanStatistical Areas in job growth.

Economists attribute this growth to the large influxof people and companies moving to the area, and apro‐business climate which has led to the creationof 113,100 new jobs over 12 months ending in May.

Among the 32 Metropolitan Divisions, Dallas‐Plano‐Irving was No. 2 behind the Los Angeles‐LongBeach‐Glendale division in the year‐over‐yearnumber of new jobs (88,300) and No 1 in thepercentage increase of jobs (4.1 percent).

Also this month, the Brookings Institution releasedfindings that job openings for STEM positions takelonger to fill than openings in other fields. Theyalso conclude that specific high‐value skillsrequested by employers and common to STEMoccupations are particularly scarce relative todemand, and yet particularly valuable to employers.

President’s Briefing Item—D Legislative Updates

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Passes Congress The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (HR 803, WIOA), which is the legislative vehicle for reauthorizing the Workforce Investment Act, passed in the House of Representatives today by a vote of 415 to 6. It had passed in the Senate on June 30 by a vote of 95-3 and is head to the White House for the President’s signature. It is one of the few bills to pass this Congress with both bi-partisan and bicameral support. WIOA represents a compromise between the SKILLS Act (H.R. 803), which passed along party lines in the House and the Workforce Investment Act of 2013 (S. 1356), which passed in the Senate HELP Committee in July 2013. Overall, the bill maintains local control and the basic structure of the local workforce system, but adds provisions to modernize and improve efficiencies. Workforce Investment Boards will still be business led. It eliminates sequence of service requirements and 15 workforce programs have been consolidated. The funding formulas follow current law, but there will be a 90% hold harmless provision for adult and youth programs to help protect against wide variations in annual funding levels due to the formula. The bill also provides for 100% transferability between local adult and dislocated worker programs. There is a stronger emphasis on regional planning and service, career pathways, consistent reporting, and the effective use of technology. Additionally, the bill requires a unified state plan, creates common performance measures across all programs serving adults and common performance measure across all programs serving youth. The legislation strengthens the role of industry-recognized credentials and sector strategies, as well as, places an emphasis on using work-based training options, customized training, and incumbent worker training. It would steadily increase spending on training programs to about $10 billion in 2020 and would shift the funding formula for youth programs so that 75 percent of the funds are earmarked for teens and young adults who are not in school or employed. A Bill summary is available at: http://edworkforce.house.gov/uploadedfiles/workforce_innovation_and_opportunity_act_-_one_pager.pdf Higher Education Act Reauthorization Senate HELP Committee Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA) introduced his plan for Higher Education Act (HEA) reauthorization on June 25th. The bill focuses on ways to reduce the burden of student debt, simplify repayment, promote new college partnerships, and tighten oversight of for-profit institutions. Among the positive aspects of the bill include reinstatement of the year-round Pell Grant, eligibility for ability-to-benefit students, consolidation of loan repayment options, and new grant programs to support industry partnerships and dual-enrollment. A two-page summary of the bill is available at: http://1.usa.gov/1nE6q1E. Additionally, the House Education & Workforce Republicans released a white-paper outlining their principles for an upcoming release of the HEA. Similar to the Harkin bill, the proposal supports year-round Pell Grant access, consolidation of repayment options, better loan counseling, and demonstration projects, such as competency-based learning. However, the House bill would diverge in key ways, setting the stage for potential partisan clashes. The bill would prevent implementation of the Obama administration's college ratings system and gainful employment rules, consolidate Title IV aid into "one grant, one loan, and one work-study program," and expand the current IPEDS system to capture more nontraditional students. The House bill white paper is available at: http://1.usa.gov/1nDNKzg Appropriations Appropriations legislation seems to be stalled despite last December’s bipartisan budget agreement, which was expected to make this year’s appropriations process run more smoothly. The Senate Appropriations Committee decided to postpone a scheduled June 12 markup of the Fiscal Year 2015 (FY15) Labor-HHS-Ed appropriations bill. The postponement makes it questionable whether Congress will finish the bill before the start of the next fiscal year on October 1, or whether federal programs on Labor-HHS-Ed will have to be temporarily funded by a continuing resolution (CR).
