III. a. 2. B. Alignment with Activities Outside the Plan

Describe how the activities identified in (A) will be aligned with programs and activities provided by required one-stop partners and other optional one-stop partners and activities provided under employment, training (including Registered Apprenticeships), education (including career and technical education), human services and other programs not covered by the plan, as appropriate, assuring coordination of, and avoiding duplication among these activities.

Current Narrative:

As noted above, the Alabama Workforce System (AWS) includes programs and activities outside the Plan to include Perkins Act, Community Services, HUD and Reintegration Services. Coordination and collaboration for programs not included in the Plan, again is provided through a strong partnership supported by the workgroups such as the Alabama WIOA Roundtable Workgroups. Workgroups also have been formed around career clusters, registered apprenticeships, career pathways and career tech at the secondary levels, Executive senior management and council member level to ensure activities are not duplicated. Alignment Actions: 1. The leadership of the four (4) core partners and the leaders of the optional partners have agreed to assemble the representatives that attended the “National Convening” in Washington DC to formerly and actively develop alignment steps. The group will be known as the “Partners Team.” This Team has collaborated to write our Combined Plan and have agreed to continue the work and insure the various Combined Plan components are successful. 2. Training and cross training of various partners is required for success as each partner works to understand the articulation between each and a formal “process flow” for citizens and clients is being developed for all employees and citizens can visually see where the individual is within the process. 3. In working with our core and sub-partners, to insure employment, the ACCS has an ever expanding Work Based Learning initiative in both non-credit and CTE credit programs. This is targeting ALL populations. As part of our Work Based Learning strategies we have registered apprenticeships, nonregistered apprenticeships, Cooperative learning, clinicals and preceptorships. We are in the process of redesigning CTE programs to ensure Work Based Learning is an integral part in any CTE program submitted that is a key component of the program. 4. ACCS is in discussion with the US Department of Labor, Office of Apprenticeship in becoming a Registered Apprenticeship College Consortium (RACC) as a state-wide system.
