Welcome and WorkForce WV Update- Russell Fry, Acting Executive Director, WorkForce WV Russell welcomed and thanked everyone for being present. He then gave a presentation on WorkForce WV about the following: State Plan- Has been completed and sent to the U.S. Department of Labor for approval. West Virginia Innovation and Opportunities Act- (SB461) was passed on March 8, 2016 and goes into full effect 90 days from passage. Small Business Program Assessment- WorkForce is now working with the Small Business Development Centers at the Department of Commerce to provide an entrepreneurial program assessment in the state One-Stop local offices. This will determine if an individual is projected to be a good entrepreneur or not. Technical Colleges Work-Based Credits- The West Virginia Career and Technical Colleges in the state are working on providing college credits for work-based skills and to condense training programs where applicable.

2 Bonding Program and Parolee Services- WorkForce WV has strengthened our partnership with the WV Department of Corrections. In two years, we have expanded our federal bonding program to serve 46 former inmates. In 2014 we enrolled 1,431 parolees for services and referred 874 to jobs and in 2015 we enrolled 1,212 parolees for services and referred 992 to jobs. Let strain WV- Let s Train West Virginia is the name for our Job-Driven on the job training grant given by the U.S. Department of Labor last year. Russell then showed the television ad for this campaign to everyone present. He then proceeded to go over specifics of Phase 2 for this campaign which include letters to employers from Governor Tomblin, radio and television advertisements, ads on local Family Dollar and Dollar General Receipts, media events and more. Russell closed his presentation with some Coal Grant success stories, such as Shane K. completing the CDL course at Boone Truck Driving Company and then completing the lineman course at Stanly Community College resulting in Shane becoming a lineman for American Electric Power. There were more like these showing how these funds have helped dislocated miners get back into the workplace and succeed again. Russell then presented Leo Miller as the Keynote speaker. III. Keynote Address- Leo Miller, Regional Administrator, US Department of Labor Education and Training Administration Leo Miller presented on The West Virginia Public Workforce System- Working Toward Your Future.

3 The Job Driven Workforce Systemo Contributes to a strong, growing economy by responding to the workforce needs of regional and local business to ensure positive employment for job seekers. o The backbone of this system is the national network of more than 2,500 American Job Centers. WIOA and Employer Engagemento Employers as customers- Screening and Training o Employers as advisors- Governance, One Stop Development, and Planning o Employers as partners- Sectoral Strategies (which are regional, industry-focused approaches to workforce and economic development that improve access to good jobs and increase job quality in ways that strengthen an industry s workforce. Components include: Targeting of specific industries and clusters Support workers competing for quality job opportunities Address employer needs and competitiveness Create lasting change in the labor market Do Sector Strategies Work? - Yes, we see program participation, program completion, credential rates, employment, retention, and wages. What are the challenges?- Some include the startup, funding, mistrust (fear of patching, aversion to working with Government), and Customer mismatch (Literacy/numeracy and work ethic) ETA Technical Assistance- is focused on developing new sector strategies partnerships, expanding and sustaining existing ones, and overall scaling up effectiveness and impact. During the first year of the initiative we saw a number of accomplishments such as approximately 3,000 workforce professionals took part in TA events, the average positive response rate across all events was over 80%, 100% of the Capacity Building cohort sites identified making at least moderate progress over the course of the project with 67% indicating the made significant progress, and there are now 3 Regional Institute and one innovative Sectors Virtual Institute.

4 WIOA takes concrete and meaningful steps to support the most vulnerable members of the modern workforce, namely the unemployed, the disabled, and out of school youth. -Federal Reserve Bank, Cleveland, OH Leo concluded his speech with a reading an article out of the local newspaper on Coal in WV and the loss of jobs, mentioning that these individuals have lost more than their careers but their way of life. We are responsible to get these programs out there readily available and be knowledgeable and helpful in leading them to new exciting opportunities.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) - provides a variety of services to strengthen economic self-sufficiency of West Virginians, which has had a significant impact on the lives of families across the state. Through TANF, WV Works provides a variety of employment related services such as training assistance, occupational skills development, job search support and child care assistance. The Community College Pilot Program-The DHHR announced a partnership with Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College in August This program is uniquely designed for WV TANF recipients and is not currently being provided as described in other states. The pilot program allows individuals receiving TANF benefits to enroll in a cohort at Southern to gain the needed skills to succeed in the workforce these could be certificates or degree programs. Pilot outcomes are as follows: o Out of the 27 TANF recipients who were enrolled last fall, 2 are no longer in the program, 2 went to work, 23 completed the fall semester with 5 earning a 4.0 GPA, and only 1 received failing grades. 4

5 Statewide Expansion- Given the success of the pilot at Southern, Chancellor for Community and Technical College Education, Sarah Tucker, and I have agreed to expand the program to all nine of the state s community colleges this fall hopefully this will be in place by July 1, Building Stronger Families Initiative- DHHR s partnership with Southern, its participation in the Federal Policy Academy and the technical measures taken to enhance service delivery are components of the Department s Building Stronger Families initiative. The initiative is designed to comprehensively address the deficiencies and needs of socioeconomically challenged families in order to improve their functionality and assure their success.
