Melanie Gilders and Anita Smith -Workforce Development Update

Anita Smith and Melanie Gilders were present to update the Board on matters involving Workforce Development.  Ms. Gilders explained that there are WIA eligible customers that are enrolled in their services and receive funding for training and services.  She further explained that there are “universal customers” that come in for the purpose of using equipment and other resources available in the resource room.  Commissioner Genter stated that citizens have voiced concerns relating to these processes.  Ms. Gilders explained that when someone comes in, they identify their needs and see which direction they wish to go, whether they need a job or need to improve their job, whether they need training or schooling and if they are willing to continue through such.  She explained the criteria for WIA eligible customers and further stated that for customers that are not eligible, there is only a certain amount that they are allowed to do due to restrictions of the WIA program.  She stated that there are staffing issues and to remedy that problem, they would need additional dollars outside of the WIA program.  Commissioner Genter stated that they should check into getting volunteers, or collaborate with an independent non-profit organization to work around the WIA restrictions.  Commissioner Short inquired how their system is used to match up clients with companies that are searching for employees and vice versa.  He stated that he feels that the WIA eligible clients are being helped, however that the “universal customers” are slipping through the cracks and that a system should be created to better match the clients with the companies that need them. Commissioner Genter and Short both stated that Workforce Development should better coordinate with Economic Development to help those that are not under the WIA umbrella and to take a more pro-active approach.
