PRESENTATION: WORK READY COMMUNITIES – Mary Kaye Bredeson, Everett Community College’s Center of Excellence on Aerospace and Advanced Manufacturing

Mary Kaye Bredeson provided the following presentation: Using the National Career Readiness Certification (NCRC to Align Talent with Opportunity). Highlights included:

 Employers often highlight a skills gap and report difficulty filling key production roles.  Shortages in skilled production jobs – machinists, operators, craft workers, distributors, technicians, and more – are taking their toll on manufacturers’ ability to expand operations, drive innovation, and improve productivity.

Page 3 of 7

 Skilled production occupations were defined as those for which employers are most likely to request postsecondary training (CNC Programmers, Avionics Technicians, Civil Designers, Production Supervisors)  Addressing the Skills Gap Using WorkKeys - The NCRC is a transferable credential that proves an individual is work ready. It is a tool that demonstrates to employers that an individual possesses the basic skills required for success in today’s workforce. The program is based on hard-skills testing integrated into a system called WorkKeys®, which was created by ACT, a nationally-recognized assessment organization.  WorkKeys:  Find better applicants  Reduce hiring costs  Reduce turnover  Improve effectiveness of training dollars  Assess the Work Readiness of applicants  Work Ready Coordinating efforts in Washington  National Coordination Work Ready Communities – http://workreadycommunities.org/  Washington State Coordination – http://www.workreadywa.org/  WorkKeys Overview  A job skill assessment system created by ACT in 1980s to measure workplace skills  Measures problem-solving, interpersonal, communication, and soft skills  Low of about $25/NCRC to a high of $80/person for profiled positions  National Career Readiness Certificate  Applied Mathematics: Applying mathematical reasoning to related work problems  Reading for Information: Comprehending work-related reading e.g., memos, policy manuals, and governmental regulations  Locating Information: Using information to make decisions (critical thinking)  Using NCRC Scores  Scores can be useful in validating your career choice  Comparing required skill level with your score  Selling yourself to a company  http://www.act.org/workkeys/analysis/occup.html  Testing Sites in the OWDA:  Olympic College  Peninsula College  WorkSource Clallam County

TRANSITION FROM WIA TO WIOA – What are the opportunities and Challenges?

Commissioner Charlotte Garrido led the discussion on the transition from WIA to WIOA. By consensus of Council members, it was agreed to focus on WIOA: Engage employers to promote business representation on the Board, develop linkages with employers, ensure workforce activities meet needs of employers and develop and implement promising

Page 4 of 7 strategies for meeting the needs of workers and employers. The following bullet points highlights the items discussed:

 Get specifics on what employers’ needs are to fill jobs and to close skill gaps  Define what job trends are relevant for the Olympic Workforce Development Area  Frame job requirements with employers  Outreach – Connection between Employer’s need, potential employee and training/skills required  Collaboration between employers and colleges to ensure full classrooms  Encourage employers to allow job shadow experience  Educate employers on internships  Start at high school/middle school levels to create interest in job opportunities in our area  Provide job seekers with cards noting type of job and $ average wage associated with that job  Address how WorkSource can engage employers in establishing apprenticeship programs, and coordinating with employers with established apprenticeship program within specific to industry clusters  Identify employers who want to be involved in on-the-job training  Find employers who are interested in internships – how can engagement of employers happen (hold a conference for employers outlining Key Train, opportunities available, how WorkSource can help employers (or a specific industry cluster)  Need to engage employers in a conversation about the aging of the current workforce  Reach out to: Chambers of Commerce; SHRM (HR Professional Organization); Educating parents on job opportunities for youth and other career paths besides college, such as apprenticeships, internships, on-the-job training and certification programs  Help youth create a detailed timeline in setting a career pathway to job fields to achieve education/skills necessary for the workforce – present a clear and focused path from training to job, such as Care Plus (provide information on trades, opportunities, wages and benefits)  Communicate with the Washington Workforce Association (WWA) to ensure collaboration between the WDAs and the WWA – what’s working  WIOA Implementation Committees have been set up at the state level and all WDCs are represented. Committees include: (1) Steering; (2) Closing Skills Gaps; (3) Career Pathways; and (4) Performance Standards. OWDC is establishing a committee to work on WIOA implementation (Tentative: Commissioner Charlotte Garrido, Julie Tappero, Bob Potter, Cathy Price and Elaine Gentilo)

Additional Comments:

 Overall effort to raise positive perceptions of a trade  WIOA focus is on marketing to employers  Commit to work-based training Page 5 of 7

 Students who are motivated but lack direction – what do we do to reach out and give them the resources, skills and opportunity they need to succeed  Raise the voice of the disadvantaged, providing them with the skills required for employment  Work closely with educators, economic development organizations, and human resources organization (SHRM) to engage employers  Identify the top 5 priorities of the OWDC, Tim Probst is available to assist  Communication at the executive level – accurate communication outreach needed  Highlight all fields with apprenticeship programs  Research the Stem concept - Cradle to Career  Outreach should include primary to eighth grade who are consistently overlooked  Contact employers and find out what skills gaps are in hiring; what soft skills need to be addressed in training potential employees  Need to start thinking differently and not correlate wages to a degree  Essential to bridge the gap between students, training programs, employer and employment – need to streamline the process  Consider changing “certificate” to “technical degree”  Advisory boards are currently set-up to communicate between educators and employers  Improve awareness between OWDC and partners, streamline and prevent duplication

Commissioner Garrido would like to work with the WDC to put together some recommendations on how to promote the following meeting topics over the next year: (1) Employers, Economic Development, SHRM (Employers’ Human Resources organization) (2) Education, (3) Students and Youth, and (4) Workforce Development – implementation of WIOA. Brian Walsh, Elaine Gentile and Cathy Price volunteered to help with the effort to do a better job at connecting employers and schools.

Commissioner Garrido has a Bremerton Kitsap Access Television taping coming up in the next couple of weeks and she will explore using this format to promote some of the topics that were presented here today such as opportunities available for youth and what different positions obtained through apprenticeships are compensated at.

NEXT MEETING

The next regular OWDC meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, February 10, 2015 at Cedars at Dungeness.

ADJOURNMENT

Due to being short on time, the following motion was made:

Attachment 5.b.

REQUEST TO AUTHORIZE OWDC STAFF TO CONDUCT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) PROCUREMENT PROCESS IF IT IS REQUIRED BEFORE JULY 1, 2015

Due to the OWDC meeting schedule and the ever-decreasing time window between the present and the implementation of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), there is limited time to find out the requirement for a new procurement process and conducting that process. Because the OWDC doesn’t meet again until May 12, 2015, it is possible that we will need to do an RFP for services before this date. We are therefore, requesting that the OWDC authorize an RFP process be conducted if required by the state and/or federal workforce development agencies to ensure compliance with the new law. If the state and/or federal agencies do not require a procurement process be conducted for July 1, 2015, then our current service provider awards will still be valid and continue through the first year of WIOA.

OPERATIONS

 WorkSource Performance Report: Bob Potter provided a brief overview on the Federal Performance Report ending September 30, 2014. All measures are passing above 80% of target. Nothing has changed since the last quarterly report because the report for the quarter ending December 31, 2014 has not been compiled yet. WIA Formula Programs – Updates will be provided within the next week or so. Should have current performance data by the February Council meeting. Bob will be watching WIA Formula Programs expenditures are below target. When current data is received, expenditure performance for OESD, Kitsap Community Resources and Employment Security Department should be closer to targets. Dislocated Workers measures are showing a decrease in reaching targets.

 It was requested that the number participants be added to the Performance Report. Also, report Dislocated Workers data by County.

 Targets are set by the Department of Labor. Performance levels have gone up from past performance levels.

 Also reviewed were the Grant Expenditures Report and the Olympic Consortium Performance Report (comparison of performance with the other Workforce Development Areas and Statewide).

 Under WIA, Youth age is 16 – 21; Under WIOA, Youth age will be 16-24 for youth programs.

OTHER BUSINESS

 Roster: The committee members went over the Roster and businesses to approach for potential membership on the Council. However, with the new membership structure under WIOA, there was discussion on whether to proceed with recruiting new members or waiting for the outcome of the State’s Steering Committee meeting in February to determine how to proceed with membership.

 Under WIOA, the Youth Council is no longer required. A Youth Committee could be established. Need to look at the Council’s committee structure. Suggested that a committee be formed for tentative restructuring of the Councils operations, membership, committees and bylaws.

 The 2015 Calendar for the OWDC and OWDC Executive Committee meetings was reviewed.

ADJOURN

There being no further business to come before the committee, the meeting was adjourned at 10:53 a.m.

APPROVAL OF MAY 13, 2014 SUMMARY

The summary was approved as written.

DISCUSSION ITEMS

Olympic WorkSource Performance Report for PY13 Jul 2013-Jun 2014 (Quarter 4) was reviewed and discussed by the committee members. Margaret Hess explained that the reason the WIA Dislocated Worker exits and placements were under 80% of the contract planned amount for the quarter is due to the participants choosing to stay in school longer, and leveraging with different programs.

Olympic Dashboard for Jul 2013-Jun 2014 was reviewed and discussed by the committee members. Margaret Hess mentioned that Advanced Manufacturing enrollments and placements were down in Clallam and Jefferson due to lower pay in those counties as opposed to King County, and due to employers cutting back on hiring.

Social Media and Customer Relations were discussed by the committee members. Margaret Hess mentioned that the WorkSource offices are now set up in Facebook and staff is working on ways to encourage customers to share the site with others.

Job-Driven NEG Project was reviewed and discussed by the committee members.

ADJOURNMENT

The meeting was adjourned.

Agenda Item 7.4.a.

Operations Committee February 10, 2015

TRANSITION FROM WIA TO WIOA DISCUSSION What are the opportunities and challenges?

Here is a bullet list of discussion items from the December 5, 2015 joint meeting of the Olympic Workforce Development Council and the Olympic Consortium Board. The items are grouped by the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) functions assigned to the Workforce Development Board.

Labor Market Information Provision

1. Define what job trends you believe relevant for the Olympic Workforce Development Area and what sources of information can be used to determine these trends.

2. What do you think about providing job seekers with cards noting type of job and the average wage associated with that job? Is this something that would be worthwhile for a specific group like youth?

Convene Stakeholders for Planning and Resource Leveraging

 How can we best collaborate with employers and colleges to ensure that full training capacity is achieved?

(Colleges already collaborate with employers through advisory meetings. How can we help foster more collaboration to keep the dialogue going?)

Best Practices  Communicate with the Washington Workforce Association (WWA) to ensure collaboration between the WDAs and the WWA – what’s working? Olympic Consortium WIA Performance Report for PY 2014, Quarter 2

Also in attendance were: Lisa Heaman, Bremerton School District; Laura Schaeffer, Housing Kitsap; Stephanie Thompson, Olympic College; Kristin Schutte, Emily Manson, Tiffany Skidmore and Stephanie McDonald, Olympic Educational Service District 114; and Gay Neal, staff to the Olympic Workforce Development Council.

Approval of Agenda/Meeting Notes: Meeting Notes were approved as written.

Discussion/Action Item – Members discussed the WIOA Webinar that was held immediately prior to the Youth Council Meeting. Key topics discussed include:

 Emphasis on Individuals with Barriers to Employment  Job Seekers, Workers, and Employers  Both Employment and Skill Needs  Attainment of Postsecondary Credentials  New WIOA Career Services o Business services o Referrals to other programs o Assistance in filing UI claims o Financial literacy services o English language activities  20% funds need to be spent on work experience  75% of the youth must be out of school  New performance measures and the addition of two new measures

Stephanie Thompson provided an update on Air Washington. They have received a no cost extension for Year 4. The extension will pay for the Grant Manager, the Navigator and 4th year data tracking. They will also be focusing funding on veterans programs including staff training, a Veterans Advisory Board and transition to civilian life.

Lisa Heaman provided an update on the Westsound STEM Network’s Business Plan. It has been accepted and approved by Washington Stem, a statewide philanthropic organization that funds Stem projects and initiatives. The Network has received funding for a coordinator, who has been hired by the Olympic ESD.

Youth Employment Program Update: Staff continued to assist potential, current, and follow- up clients with work readiness counseling, including individualized job search, resume writing, application procedures, interviewing, soft skills, and career planning. Additionally, all staff continued to assist clients with their secondary and post-secondary education goals; these services included support to finish high school, apply for college admission and federal Financial Aid, college preparation and assessment, and academic planning.

Page 1 of 2 Program support service funds continue to be used to assist clients with addressing and overcoming barriers to education or employment; examples of funding include school supplies, college tuition and textbooks as needed, GED testing and basic skills classes, transportation assistance in the form of bus passes or limited gas funds; as well as clothing for job search, interviewing, and for employment; food and hygiene assistance; occupational skills training such as OSHA and Flagging certifications, CNA licenses, and related credentials to increase employability and wage earnings.

Staff has worked together, and with the OWDC, to strategize methods to increase clients’ literacy and numeracy scores, as well as reinforced current assessment practices to ensure meeting and exceeding federal performance measures in this category. By the end of the program year, staff in all counties collaborated efforts to exceed expected literacy and numeracy gains.

All counties continue to network, recruit for, and develop business and worksite relationships within our communities. Several new sites have been established or re-established and utilized over the last few months, including Central Kitsap Food Bank, Bremerton Parks and Recreation Summer Lunch program, The Habitat for Humanity Re-Store, TJ Maxx, Community Boat Project, Olympic Community Action Programs, City of Port Angeles, and Olympic Peninsula Humane Society. Staff works with other community partners to continue securing vocational and work readiness opportunities for program youth. Success stories:

 One youth, who came to our program having been homeless for some time, has recently achieved many of her goals in the program. This young lady came to the program having dropped out of high school and was kicked out of her mom’s house. Shortly after enrolling in the program, she returned to high school, earning both her high school diploma and her Certified Nursing Assistant certification through West Sound Technical Skills center. She earned her CNA license for WA State, and is now working as a nursing assistant near her home. She also got married, had a child, and has her own apartment and car. She is attending Olympic College in the fall to continue her nursing education.

 One client began a maritime and boat building WEX at the Community Boat Project. She worked full time for two months building a wooden sailing ship with the culmination of her experience being a much anticipated launch and 5 night sail on the completed project. With assistance from the Pathways program she is now enrolled in the Northwest Wooden Boatbuilding College in Port Townsend with plans to complete a 12-month Contemporary Wood Composite Boatbuilding AOS degree program and make the maritime industry her career.

Performance Update: Youth Council members reviewed the Federal Performance and Contract Performance with the Youth Council. All measures are at or above targets.

OWDC Membership: Youth Council Members discussed the recruitment of new Youth Council Members.

Adjournment: There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned.

Youth Council February 10, 2015

TRANSITION FROM WIA TO WIOA DISCUSSION What are the opportunities and challenges?

Career Pathways

1. How can we communicate best with high schools/middle schools and with whom in order to create interest in job opportunities in our area?

2. How can we best help educate parents on job opportunities for youth and other career paths besides college, such as apprenticeships, internships, on-the-job training and certification programs?

3. What can we do to help youth create a detailed timeline in setting a career pathway to job fields to achieve education/skills necessary for the workforce? How can a clear and focused path from training to job, such as Care Plus (provide information on trades, opportunities, wages and benefits), best be presented?
