MEMORANDUM Date: November 7, 2012 To: Kane County Human Services Committee Cc: River Valley Workforce Investment Board From: Scott Berger and Renee Thompson Re: WIA Program Updates Business Services are being Launched with Help from a Recognized Industry Partner To be responsive to the needs of the business community, Kane County is launching a partnership initiative with the Alliance for Illinois Manufacturing (AIM) to engage the employers of DeKalb, Kane and Kendall offering access to opportunities in their portfolio, but also those available through WIA such as On-the-Job Training (OJT) funds, Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) funds, and access to a broad talent pool of job seekers to fill their hiring needs. Kane County recognizes employer engagement as a priority and has deployed a staff member to develop and grow this initiative alongside AIM, but to also envision an overall business team and the mechanisms required internally to sustain efforts to effectively develop relationships with the local business community. Our partner, AIM, is a non-profit organization that services employers across the Chicago-land region by providing access to a variety of business resources that can assist in the growth and strengthening of companies. Resulting from a successful OJT WIA participant placement model in Northern Cook County, AIM received additional dollars from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to implement the OJT program model and best practices throughout the local workforce investment areas in suburban Chicago. AIM will be the lead entity that will initiate and expand in-depth relationships with the regional employer base in LWIA 5 and will provide overviews of funding options available to employers that includes WIA funding alongside a robust pool of skilled and available job seekers. During their employer engagement, AIM will identify employment opportunities where the employer will consider the area’s job seeker talent as their primary hiring source and establish a communication pipeline whereby Kane County can refer candidates sourced to match the hiring expectation. Should an OJT strategy be appropriate, AIM will also assist in the implementation of the OJT program requirements under WIA and the development of all employer contracts and individualized employee training plans. Kane County will identify the individual marketable skills of its customer base and assist AIM by delivering qualified candidates they can refer to the employment opportunities obtained. Specifically, Kane County will prepare staff to assess the registered WIA customer base for job readiness and to ensure the customers are equipped with adequate interview skills and are ready to be introduced to employers. AIM will assist Kane County in the development of staff to ensure appropriate matches and referrals are made. Kane County is developing the necessary staff tools and systems to select and source candidates for job opportunities to ensure the initiative is successful.
