Current Narrative:

III (2) (D) Coordination, Alignment and Provision of Services to Employers). Partners will align and coordinate services to business partners through several modalities. Services for the mandatory partners are carried out by DOL-DET’s Business Services Unit in partnership with the Delaware Economic Development Office, augmented by the job placement staff of the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and the local Veterans Employer Representatives (LVER) also housed in DOL-DET. A Business Services workgroup is being convened consisting of the Business Service staff of the “one-stop” partners. This group will be responsible for coordinating business services and eliminating duplication. The public funded workforce system believes the following initiative will increase its attractiveness to employers:

• The newly redesigned and fielded Job Order portal in DJL provides employers with an improved tool they can use. Part of our plan includes a “full court press” of outreach, public relations, marketing, and social media marketing to raise awareness to all businesses.

• The creation of career lattices requires intensive collaboration between Delaware business and the Division of Employment and Training.

• The DWDB pathways to prosperity goal requires participation of the Delaware Business Roundtable; the United Way SPaRC goal also requires extensive;, the DWIB is also a member of the Goldey Beacom College business advisory board.

DOL-DET Business Services reps and Local Veteran Employment Representatives (LVERs); Delaware Department of Labor, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation’s employment services specialist; and the Delaware National Guard Employer Support to the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) will all work together to ensure members of the Delaware National Guard ,eligible veterans and their spouses receive job training , the best resources and opportunities for their civilian employment, including coordinating employment opportunities with local employers ,providing employment counseling and job referrals.

• Title II providers will provide instruction regarding demand occupations and career lattices areas that aligns with that DWDB’s strategic plan.

• Title II providers will work with local employers to determine skills, information and attitudes needed to attain entry level jobs and progress within job fields.

It is important to note that the DWDB’ S strategic goals 3 for 2015 to 2017 address this issue and additional planning is underway. See the BSR presentation for strategic planning at Appendix E.
