Investment Board meeting of September 12, 2012.
Motion made by Maria Chavoya; Seconded by Ed Ford.
Motion passed.
VI. Director’s Report and Information Items
A. Washington update:
Not a lot happening since the focus is now on elections.
The six month continuing resolution will end in March
2013; the next Congress will have to deal with the issue.
Sequestration will be one of the big issues in January;
Department of Labor sent a report outlining the percentages
to be cut. For WIA it would be about 8.2% - this would
occur every year, for the next ten years.
B. State Update
John Morales continues to be a member of the Governor’s
3
Council on Workforce Policy’s Executive Committee.
The Governor has called for a new Workforce Council- we
do not have the details at this point.
C. Rapid Response/Business Outreach Update
Patrick Goetz presented a power point (Attached).
D. Program Services Presentation
Pat Romant and Mercedes Mendivil provided an overview of the
services that YPIC offers/and presented the revised YPIC website.
Julie Engel inquired about the possibility of addressing issues with
Job Fair attendees such as wearing professional attire, bringing
children and family have the Job Fair, etc.
It was explained that we have in the past had Career Expos where
people that plan on attend the job fair get workshops such as: Dress
for Success, Resume Critique, Interviewing, etc. however the
attendance was not as high as expected.
John Morales indicated that YPIC continuously seeks ways to
improve the quality of services, and any suggestions for
improvement are welcomed; YPIC will certainly explore some
new ideas for the next job fair.
E. Update – Arizona Job Connection
Arizona Job Connection is the new system that we started
using at the beginning of the year/ it is the system the State
implemented.
Yuma will be part of a pilot program, along with other rural
areas, and a group of employees will be given access to
provide job referrals. This access to job referrals coupled
with some changes that we have made to our service
delivery system will improve our customer service, and
will minimize the waiting time for customers.
A special “thank you” to the Department of Economic
Security officials for their assistance in this matter.
F. Update – 2011/2012 Performance Measures
Every year we have been fortunate to meet or exceed the 15
performance standards; however, we regret to inform you
that this year we missed one by 1/10th
of a percent. YPIC
4
staff will be working diligently to make sure we do not
miss it again.
G. Update – Trax Training
YPIC has been providing training session for Trax
employees: Cultural Diversity, Giving and Receiving
Feedback, Communication Styles, and Coaching and
Motivation.

changes in the work methods of some of her staff.
