handout with the updated list showing additions and deletions was shared and staff requested input regarding occupations which should be retained or removed. Discussion ensued. The committee agreed with the staff recommendations with the addition of Industrial and Human Factors engineering if there is a separate SOC code for these. The final RTOL will be sent to the next Board of Directors meeting for approval.

Staff reviewed the strategies and measures for Goal 2, “Strengthen key business clusters by working with them to identify and solve workforce issues they face”.

Goal 2 Strategy Updates

A list of CSB Community Resources Workshops for February 2014 along with highlights from the Community Services staff was shared. The Committee requested an explanation of staff activities be presented at the next full Board of Directors meeting to show progress towards goals of business contact services.

Information Brief Individual Training Account Vendor Procurement

The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) requires interested training providers to participate in an evaluative procurement process to be placed on the CareerSource Brevard (CSB) list of training vendors (ITA Vendors List). Training is provided through an Individual Training Account (ITA). This process allows for

Background

WIA required customer choice

for training vendors. Based on revised guidance received from the State of Florida Department of Economic Activity (DEO) and process changes approved by the BW Board of Directors on November 19, 2013, existing training vendors who meet specific requirements that have training programs leading to occupations on the Regional Targeted Occupations List may be included on the Eligible Training Provider Listing (ETPL). This informational brief is provided to update Committee and Board members on new programs that have been included on the ETPL. For the PY 2013-2014 4th,

Quarter, one vendor submitted a program. Staff evaluated all of the information submitted and the following will be added to the Region 13 ETPL:

Training Vendor DrupalEasy Academy Training Program Drupal Career Online Customized TOL Occupation Software Development, Applications Wage Tier/Entry Level Wage High / $14.01 Program Costs $ 3,400

Information Brief

2014 -15 Program Year Criteria for Funding Training Requests

This brief is to summarize the training criteria that will be used for the Program Year (PY) 2014-2015 which began on July 1, 2014. CareerSource Brevard (CSB) has experienced a 29% reduction in funding for this program year. By using these criteria, CSB will ensure that training needs are met throughout the year. For PY 2014-2015, formula funding which includes Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Dislocated Worker (DW), Adult and Youth as well as Welfare Transition (WT), will be the main source of training funds. The residual Aerospace Workforce Transition Funds (NEG & SFTI) are expected to be depleted by December 31, 2014. The Clean Energy Jobs Accelerator (CEJA) grant funds are set expire in September 2015 and the Supplemental Dislocated Worker funds will end June 30, 2015.

Background

Services and funding will be focused on what has been demonstrated to be most effective in helping business/industries and job seeking customers sustain self-sufficient employment. As approved by the Board of Directors on May 20, 2014, the overall funding priorities shall be:

• 70% Employer Based Training (EBT) (i.e. OJTs, Work Experience, Employed Worker Training (EWT), Upgrade OJTs). It is expected that EBT shall focus predominately on OJT with Work Experience being prioritized for WT, WIA Youth and Ticket to Work (TTW) customers.

• 30% Individual Training Accounts (ITA). Some limitations imposed during PY 2013-2014 will not be imposed for PY 2014-2015. The limitations being lifted include: Priority of Service (Policy PLN 09-02); OJTs only; Services to businesses that have not received a Gateway 1 or 2 services or OJT. New for this PY is:

• The ability to allow training for occupations which require a bachelor’s degree under formula funding. While our ITA assistance cannot exceed two (2) years, workforce funding may be used to support training towards a bachelor’s degree when a customer can demonstrate that they have achieved enough college credits to utilize workforce funding to complete a bachelor’s degree.

• The updated Regional Targeted Occupations List (RTOL) was in effect on July 1, 2014. This list was developed using a new process authorized by the State of Florida that allows for more local focus. The list included, for the 3rd

o Occupations have been expanded to include the training code “5” for bachelor’s degrees.

year, a customization process utilizing the State’s Supply/Demand Labor Market Information for our region. As a result, this year staff will see that:

o New occupations have been added to meet the needs of business and industry. o Career ladder occupations in the “Limited Opportunity” tier which have “static or

shrinking labor market” will now require that a path to self-sufficiency be clearly delineated in the participant’s Individual Employment Plan (IEP) prior to training approval by the Scholarship Unit.

4 of 23

Continued restrictions for PY 2014-2015 will be:

• All training shall be based on the new average entry wage and new maximum investment. The new maximum investment was lowered for both the entry and bridge tier.

Since this is the last month for Pamela Gunthorpe, I am taking the liberty to make some comments on her contribution to Community Resources and the pieces of her contributions that will be missed in our department.

Great team player who would willingly pick up the slack

Database mind that would contribute to ideas always thinking in terms of how data could be organized and pulled for reporting

Detail oriented which served her well with customers and case notes

Organized, calm and attentive

Able to ask probing questions when coaching BizLaunch clients which led to client learning, growing and better business development

Met with 200+ individuals

Assisted in 22 individuals moving into some kind of business initiative We will certainly miss the great contributions and the team player going forward.

Since the report last quarter, the grant performance has improved considerably and at this point USDOL is happy with our progress. This chart summarizes the actual performance compared to the projected performance. This quarter saw a significant increase in expenditures from the 1.6% reported for the quarter ending 09/31/13 and the 4.6% reported for the quarter ending 12/31/13. We had projected that by this quarter we would spend 17% but actually spent 19%. For the Quarter Ending June 30, 2014, staff is projecting that we will exceed our projected expenditures and performance projections. This is based on the partnership with Florida Solar Energy Center and the Clean Cities Initiative which has allowed us to assist a large number of municipal public safety organizations with training which relates to clean energy and alternative fuels. While we are still behind the overall expected performance by USDOL, significant progress has been made. Energy Launch:

• Global Solar Care, LLC has been created and they have registered with the State of Florida as a Limited Liability Corporation. They have 6 Directors in the business. They are getting ready to hire an employee to perform the actual solar cleaning services. They are creating their marketing materials and putting together their sales strategy.

Career Center staff continues to follow up on the 39 persons who completed the 8 week intensive entrepreneurial program in December 2013. The following activity has been documented:

• National Marine & Diving Services is continuing to do business and obtained a large government contract, which will likely result in other Energy Launch participants being hired by this business

• Florida Solar Tech, Inc. was incorporated by a class member in December 2013. In tracking all 39 persons who completed the program, 28 are now working. Of those 28, 13 are self-employed in some capacity and 15 are in jobs with employers. Energy Florida:

Formerly known as Space Coast Energy Consortium, Energy Florida (EF) has been a partner with CSG and Space Florida on this grant. Mr. Aller, Executive Director of EF attended a USDOL Grantee Regional Collaboration Meeting in Gaithersburg Maryland on June 26-27, 2014. The purpose of the meeting was to collaborate with other Jobs Accelerator grantees and to share best practices. Staff will provide information from this meeting at our next quarterly meeting.

Next Steps: CSB will run another Energy Launch in the next program year. Ongoing activity will include connecting with existing and new clean energy businesses.

Employer Training Grants: Incumbent (IWT) & Quick Response (QRT)

Background CareerSource Florida (CSF), formerly Workforce Florida, Inc. administers two training grant initiatives to help businesses and workers advance and maintain competitiveness and technological skills.

Incumbent Worker Training Quick Response Training Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) provides funding for customized training for existing for-profit businesses. Businesses applying for the Florida IWT’s must be in operation for one year prior to the application date, have at least, one full time employee, demonstrate financial viability and be current on all state tax obligations. Funding priority is given to businesses with 25 or fewer employees, located in distressed Rural, Urban Inner-City Areas or Enterprise Zones in qualified targeted industries. Priority is also given to grant proposals that represent a significant layoff avoidance strategy and an upgrade in employee skills.

Quick Response Training (QRT) provides funding for customized training to new or expanding businesses. The goal of the program is to retain and attract businesses creating new, high-quality jobs. These grants are structured to “respond quickly” to meet the business’s training objectives. Program requirements include that new, existing or expanding Florida business produce an exportable good or service, create new, full-time, permanent jobs in qualified target industries, meet certain wage requirement and require training of less than 24 months. QRT grants must be done in coordination with a local training institution

CareerSource Brevard (CSB) guides companies to both of these programs and tracks the notifications provided by CSF. CSB staff is instrumental in educating and/or guiding business organizations to/through the process. Local performance is reviewed regularly and presented as follows:
