CHAPTER 5: Training

Training overviewTraining services are available for employed and unemployed Adult or Dislocated Workers who after an interview, evaluation or assessment and career planning are determined to be unlikely or unable to obtain or retain employment that leads to self-sufficiency or wages comparable to or higher than wages from previous employment through career services alone. The participant must be determined to be in need of training services and possess the skills and qualifications to successfully participate in the selected program..Training services are provided to equip individuals to enter the workforce and retain employment. Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), a program of training services includes a structured regimen that leads to specific outcomes. A program of training services is one or more courses or classes, or a structured regimen that leads to:

An industry-recognized certificate of certification; a certificate of completion of a registered apprenticeship, a license recognized by the state involved or the federal government,

A post-secondary credential (an associate or baccalaureate degree),

Consistent with 20 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 680.350, a secondary school diploma, or its equivalent,

Employment, or Measurable skill gains toward such a

credential or employment as described in (a) or (b).

Training services (not all inclusive)

Individual Training Account v. Contract

ITA (680.300)– Training services for

eligible individuals are typically provided by training providers who receive payment for services through an ITA

– Approved providers are located on the ETPL

OJT, customized training, or IWT

– When an insufficient number of eligible training providers exist

– Training program offered by CBO

individualized. – Trainees are considered

employed at contract beginning and expected to retain the position after the contract ends

Customized Training– Designed for employer– Commitment by employer to

hire– Employer pays for significant

cost of the training

Incumbent Worker Training (IWT)– Used to retain skilled

workforce or avert the need to lay off

Combines paid learning (OJT) experience with related technical instruction (RTI)

WIOA Adult, DW and Youth may be able to pay for all or a portion on the training

Work Based Training - Registered Apprenticeship

CHAPTER 8: Rapid Response

Rapid Response is Business Engagement and includes layoff aversion strategies and activities:

Assistance to employers in managing RIF

Engagement, partnership with business (sector partnership)

Funding feasibility studies

IWT

20 CFR 682.320

Connecting companies to Work Share, employer loan programs, other resources

Establishing linkages to ED

Conducting analysis to identify opportunities for transition, risk assessments

Connecting business to short term, OJT or Customized, RA before layoff to facilitate rapid reemployment

Layoff Aversion activities Immediate and onsite contact to plan and address:

– layoff plans, – assistance needs for affected workers, – reemployment prospects for workers,– available resources to meet needs of affected workers

Provision of UI information Delivery of services and resources such as on site

workshops Partner with others for coordinated response

Required Activities

In a nutshell: All non-gov’t permanent/indefinite layoffs involving full-time employees when 1/3 or more of the workforce is affected (50 minimum) for employers with at least 100 workers.

60 days’ notice to workers, union, chief local elected official, and State, unless unforeseen circumstances or attempts to secure financing to stay open prevent doing so.

If 500 or more involved, notify regardless of total workforce size.

Federal Law, no state mandate

WARN ACT

What if non WARN? We track all activity involving

permanent/indefinite layoffs of 10 or more full-time employees, and all Trade Adjustment Act (TAA)- related layoff activity, regardless of size.

Why? For business intelligence purposes, to keep State leadership informed, for use with State Adjustment Grant (SAG) application vetting, and for formula DW distribution calculations, among other reasons.

Other uses for WARN and non-WARN layoff data include determining local area Dislocated Worker allocations [WIOA, Sec. 133 (b) (1)(B)(ii)]

State Adjustment Grant (SAG) applications

National Dislocated Worker Grants (DWGs), formerly ‘National Emergency Grants’ (‘NEGs’), where applicable (multiple employers with fewer than 50 affected workers, suppliers of principal employers whose layoff activity is the subject of an NDWG application, etc.)

Worker Orientations: MWA, UIA and others (United Way, etc.) brief affected workers

Dislocated Worker survey – helps map the labor pool and acquire workforce demographics

SAGs: PI 12-32 provides details on how to apply for State-level DW funds set aside for SAGs

TAA: Offer whenever a potentially-eligible employer experiences a layoff; coordinate with WDA TAA Section as needed

DWGs: Federal assistance potentially available for eligible dislocation activity

Joint Adjustment Committees (JACs): Labor-management collaboration to assist DWs

Mobile One-Stops: Bring MW! services to where the customers are

RR Tools for Further Assistance

In-School Status

*unless an individual with a disability who is attending school under State law.Michigan serves eligible students through the age of 25.

Youth who are homeschooled, in alternative education, or virtual learners are ISY.

The USDOL has developed a WIOA Youth eligibility webpage, which includes a fact sheet, introductory webcast, and interactive tutorials on the eligibility requirements for the youth program.

Eligibility Resource

Recent Graduates

In-School If the youth is registered

in post-secondary education, and will be attending in the summer or fall

Out-of-School If the youth has not yet

registered in post-secondary education, and is only planning to attend

For example: If a participant has applied and been accepted, but is not yet registered with the post-secondary institution, their school status is OSY.

Exception: Per TEGL 21-16, if a youth is only enrolled in non-credit-bearing postsecondary classes, such as non-credit-bearing remediation courses, they are not considered to be attending postsecondary school and, therefore, are an OSY.

The term “school dropout” does not include individuals who have dropped out of postsecondary education.

There is no minimum amount of time from the point of separation from school to declare dropout status.

A dropout only includes an individual who is currently a secondary school dropout and does not include a youth who previously dropped out of secondary school, but subsequently returned.

School Dropouts

Low Income WIOA includes 2 new ways to document low income:

– A youth living in a high poverty area- defined as at least 25% (previously 30%) poverty rate *Please use these Directions for Using Census Data to Determine High-Poverty Areas

– For ISY, if eligible to receive a free or reduced price lunch under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act

The free or reduced lunch barrier includes only the individual eligible for free or reduced lunch. This barrier does not extend to family members who are not themselves eligible (with the exception of a WIOA Youth participant who is parenting a child who is eligible), nor does it include eligibility based on entire school or school district.

Applicable for the Free/Reduced Lunch program eligibility only: Per 7 CFR 245.2, household means a group of related or nonrelated individuals, who are not residents of an institution or boarding house, but who are living as one economic unit.

Procurement and Service Provider Selection– 681.400

The grant recipient/fiscal agent has the option to directly provide some or all of the youth workforce investment activities.

– Competitive procurement provision in WIOA Sec. 123 only applicable if the Local WDB chooses to award grants or contracts to youth service providers.

– The USDOL and the State encourage Local WDBs to continue to award contracts to youth service providers when local areas have experienced and effective youth service providers.

Individual Training Accounts – 681.550

ARE allowable for OSY (16-24) ARE NOT allowable for ISY ISY 18 and over may co-enroll in the adult program

If ITAs are used for youth, providers must be on Michigan Training Connect

An ITA is not the only allowable way to fund training for youth. – It is one allowable option to enhance individual participant choice

in education and training plans and provide flexibility to service providers.

– Training may also be funded via direct payment to an education or training provider after documented consideration of cost, locality, and participant preference of a minimum of three options are evaluated.

Academic and Occupational Education Component of Work Experience

Occupational Education = learning about the duties of different types of hospital occupations such as a phlebotomist, radiology tech, or physical therapist

Academic Education = learning some of the information individuals in those occupations need to know such as why blood type matters, the name of a specific bone in the body, or the function of a specific ligament

Local programs have the flexibility to determine the appropriate type of academic and occupational education necessary for a specific work experience.

Example: If a youth is in a work experience in a hospital:

Education offered…681.630

What does education offered concurrently with and in the same context as workforce preparation activities and training for a specific occupation or occupational cluster mean?

Reflects an integrated education and training model and describes how workforce preparation activities, basic academic skills, and hands-on occupational skills training are to be taught within the same time frame

Early/Middle College High School Programs

Incentives – 681.640

Incentive payments to youth participants are permitted for recognition and achievement directly tied to training activities and work experiences

The local program must have written policies and procedures in place governing the award of incentives and must ensure that such incentive payments are:– Tied to the goals of the specific program;– Outlined in writing before the commencement of the

program that may provide incentive payments; – Align with the local program’s organizational policies; and– Accord with the requirements contained in 2 CFR part 200.

Follow-up Services-681.580

Follow-up services may ONLY include the following program elements:

1) Supportive services; 2) Adult mentoring;3) Financial literacy education; 4) Services that provide labor market and employment

information about in-demand industry sectors or occupations available in the local area, such as career awareness, career counseling, and career exploration services; and

5) Activities that help youth prepare for and transition to post-secondary education and training.

The USDOL recognizes the concerns that some youth may not be responsive to attempted contacts for follow-up, and other youth may be difficult to locate making it impossible to provide follow-up services for such individuals. Local programs should have policies in place to establish how to document and record when a participant cannot be located or contacted. At the time of enrollment, youth must be informed that follow-up services will be provided for 12 months following exit.

Unable to Locate: TIA has determined that in the event the participant cannot be located,

attempts to locate and contact the participant must be made for a minimum of the first two quarters following exit. Local policy may extend this time period, but may not shorten it.

Opting Out: If at any point in time during the program or during the 12 months following

exit the youth requests to opt-out of follow-up services, they may do so. In this case, the request to opt-out or discontinue follow-up services made by the youth must be documented in the case file in detail. Youth may not be encouraged to opt-out.

Follow-up Services Continued

Collecting family income, IF– The youth has a disability or is a current foster child

Goals, IF– Your MWA decides to no longer set them. As annual

goals are no longer required, and are not going to be “regulated” by the TIA, the choice to continue with this process is to be locally determined

Post-testing, IF– The individual attains a high school diploma,

recognized equivalent, or college degree. The decision to post-test the an individual with one of the aforementioned is at local discretion.
