 Dear Colleague,

 

Public workforce development services need not be bureaucratic, overflowed with paperwork and, overall, inefficient. In reality, hundreds of One Stop Career Center best practices around the nation have proved otherwise.

 

I am pleased to invite you to join us at the 2002 National Conference on Designing, Marketing and Managing One Stop Career Centers. We are bringing together leaders among center operators and workforce development stakeholders, to share their best practices, lessons learned and innovations in effectively designing, implementing, managing and providing successful employment information and resources to your local workforce..

 

MEASURE Performance of Your One Stop Career Center

Develop and implement performance and outcome measures for effective case management, help hard-to-place individuals develop the skills to get and keep a job and report “work first” outcomes to enhance program funding, outreach relations, and client services.

 

This summit offers you federal, state, and local benchmarks for performance measurement along with innovative methods to design, manage and evaluate your one stop career center.  With these tools, you will have the ability to develop model case management programs to best meet the needs of your clients -when self-sufficiency is not the case- as well as comply with federal and state regulations.

 

PARTNER and Contract for Results

Utilize performance-based contracting to forge effective partnerships and linkages with required partners and special interest agencies, community development organizations and others involved in the improvement of the workforce system and the quality of the education, training and life of job seekers specific to your area. Implement partnerships to improve programs, expand the range of services, and avoid duplication of services.

 

INTEGRATE PROGRAMS to Ensure Seamless Services across Required, Special Interest Partners and Service Providers

Establish referral linkages, identify sources of funding, improve the center’s staff customer service skills, and expand case management services within your workforce area. Incorporate lessons learned into your own one stop center operation strategies and improve job placement, support services and job retention among clients.

This forum, plus our special interest workshop on Developing Resources to Sustain & Enhance your One-Stop Career Center promises to be a valuable peer-to-peer setting for the exchange and discussion of strategies and best practices from the nation’s leading One Stop Career Centers and Operators.  Register today by calling 703-894-0481 or visit us at www.performanceweb.org.  I look forward to seeing you in December.
