A Preliminary AVTI/Agency Cooperative Model for Serving the Needs of Dislocated Workers in Minnesota.
Storlie, Rebecca; Park, Rosemarie
This document proposes an Area Vocational-Technical Institute (AVTI) based model for service delivery to dislocated workers in Minnesota. The need for such a model arises from the consistent duplication of problem-solving measures and service delivery statewide in attempting to solve the problems of various groups of dislocated workers. The model details agency linkages, funding sources, and educational and retraining considerations and incorporates a plan for comprehensive evaluation. The model flows from a precipitating event (plant closings, layoffs) to agency linkages that should include the local Private Industry Council, the State Department of Jobs and Training, local labor unions or organizations, and AVTI representatives. The next component addressed is funding sources, which would include federal Title III, local educational funds, corporate funds, tuition-reduction packages offered by local colleges, and State Department of Jobs and Training sources. The model then focuses on service delivery, components which include needs assessment, programs for upgrading basic educational skills, tailored retraining programs, vocational counseling/job search assistance, and personal counseling. Finally, suggestions for formative and summative evaluation are offered. Appendixes to the report list potential advisory network members, describe ongoing job training programs, and provide blank survey and interview forms for needed assessment, program planning, and evaluation.
