Current Narrative:

• III (2) (B) Alignment with Activities outside the Plan. Alignment with programs and activities provided by mandatory one-stop partners and other one-stop partners will be accomplished through the One-Stop agreements governing the one-stop delivery system. A key function relating to that will be the monthly partner meetings which will focus on the full implementation of the one-stop delivery system principles and the continuous improvement of the coordination. A key initial step in this process is the one-stop referral unit which is funded solely by the Division of Employment for its first year.

The Delaware Economic Development office (DEDO), a one-stop partner, is a key partner in in serving the business customer. DEDO and DOL-DET Business Service staff utilize a common script when working with business customers. DEDO takes the lead in business development, while DOL-DET takes the lead in staffing services. Through these complementary efforts, a comprehensive suite of service is available to business customers. Apprenticeship and other work-based training are linked through their inclusion in the one-stop business service work group.

Educational activities are provided by Title II adult education providers co-located in the one- stop centers. Where One-Stop capacity is surpassed, job seekers are referred to either the Title II distance learning adult education provider or to local Title II adult education providers. Supports needed for attendance are provided as allowed by each core partner’s enabling legislation.

Reentering offenders involved in the Individual Assessment, Discharge and Planning Team (IADAPT) Project are monitored for participation in One-Stop center activities and receive supports as allowed through Second Chance Grant funding. Monitoring for this program and population occurs in close coordination with the Delaware Department of Correction. Attendance, career planning, and the results of services are monitored. Educational information gathered through the Prison Education Program is shared to expedite job attainment and possible job training as permissible by Professional Licensing Board regulations.

• Wonder SNAP recipients are monitored for participation in One-Stop center activities and receive supports as allowed through the Delaware Wonder Pilot. Education information gathered from Title II Adult Education Programs is shared to increase job attachment and/or training entry. As alluded to earlier and discussed in greater detail in subsequent paragraphs, the SNAP participants are monitored as part of the State’s robust referral process. A closed-loop system id monitors the participant through the referrals needed to provide services.

Because Delaware’s Registered Apprenticeship programs are state-funded, the relationship between it and Delaware’s publicly-funded workforce system is still developing. Registered Apprenticeship is part of the One-Stop partners system, .and enhanced coordination with RA is underway. Initiatives such as coding boot camps, which are beginning their RA journey, are encouraging signs. The DWDB and DOL-DET have also received an Apprenticeship accelerator grant. Registered Apprenticeship is also included on the State ETPL.
