14 Supplemental Narrative NEW GRANT PY11-12: 2 nd Modification 11/18/11 Updates as of 11/18/11: A. Provide a brief narrative describing pertinent features of the proposed project or target groups that are not addressed elsewhere in your proposal. This could include for example, characteristics of the dislocated worker population that require special services, innovative service strategies, etc. Spancrete initially laid off 2/11 with the expressed intentions of rehiring. Instead, they closed they announced the closing of the facility (5/11) and permanent layoff of all employees. Per union rep 8/19/11, although he knows many decided to retire and he is aware of employees locating other employment on their own, he is uncertain why we have not seen more in the Centers seeking services. Possibly have in other counties and/or are waiting until UI benefits expire. Intensive and additional outreach will need to be made to these individuals to re-educate them regarding the services available through the Center and WIA. Tassman workers still not accessing services in WOW or through HIRE. 3 enrolled. Criticare is still in rolling layoffs that started in June and should be over in November. Most already laid off are still on UI but a mailing went out to RRO survey completers reminding them of our services. Have still not filed for Trade. Triad Group Have sent out three mailings based on UI filers for Triad and recently, their parent company H&P. Several other deaths linked to companies products. Phone number now states they have suspended all operations. Hinkle and I doubt they will re-start and suspect many of the employees (over 250) may start filtering into the Centers for services. Westwood Aluminum Castings, Inc. sent after-the-fact WARN notice 8/16 re: layoff of all 87 employees 8/12-8/19. WOW called company and spoke to HR and President and State contacted the attorney involved. They have cashflow problems, not a Trade issue, had let most go 8/12 so no RRO, would not provide a mailing list (but attorney is going to encourage them to do so for the employees benefit) and let us bring RRO packets to the company for distribution to the employees on 8/19 when they were due in to pick up final paychecks. Will pursue contact with employees a) if we get a mailing list from company or b) mailing WOW letter by State with UI filers in a couple of weeks. G&K Services. Another letter was sent reminding workers of WIA services. B. Provide a brief narrative explanation for any of the following that apply to your application. 1. Target group(s) have been laid off for more than 4 months. Explain what services have already been provided and why this group is still in need of services. Tasman: will be dropped from grant next round if no additional workers present themselves; Spancrete: most 14

15 are still collecting UI. A mailing is being sent to the RRO survey completers reminding them of WIA enrollment/re-employment services. Doubtful of additional participants. Lowered the expected number. 2. Plan is to serve 50% or more of the affected group. Explain how the number to be served was determined. Based on survey completion (on-line and/or RRO, union input, etc.) 3. Target group(s) are TAA eligible. Identify what services this project will provide that are not available through the TAA program. Describe the process for coordinating services across the WIA Local Dislocated Worker Program/Special Response Grant and TAA programs. Include a description of customer flow and the role of each program in providing assessment, employability plan development, case management, placement services, training and follow-up. Criticare may be TAA eligible but has not applied. Initial rapid response or worker orientation meetings have not been held. Explain why these meetings have not been held. Include any information you have about the affected group that justifies their inclusion in the grant. As stated above, Westwood and Triad were no notice plant closings or layoffs. 15
