b. 4. List Needed Community Services and the Exact Places Where These Services Are Most Needed. Specifically, the Plan Must Address the Needs and Location(s) of Those Individuals Most in Need of Community Services and the Groups Working to Meet Their Needs. (20 Cfr 641.330)

Current Narrative:

The needed community services are primarily focused on office and clerical support. The place locations include SCSEP sub-grantee offices, libraries, WorkForce Centers, healthcare centers and non-profit agencies supporting other social issues. In greater Minnesota, which is primarily rural, sub-grantees rely on locating with organizations in the larger communities, serving as county administrative locations or regional hubs of economic activity. In the metro area, locations focus more on connectivity to services and host sites.

With Minnesota’s focus on career pathways and sector partnerships, it will be necessary to develop a deeper understanding of the role of older workers in meeting the needs of business through career pathway approaches. With Minnesota’s aging workforce, solutions to keeping older workers actively engaged and meeting their economic needs presents an opportunity for business to rethink their labor supply chain. Sector partnerships will be asked to support an assessment of the role of older workers and their potential in meeting the needs of sector strategies. For the purposes of the State Plan, this assessment has not been completed. The state will work with the sub-grantees and local workforce development boards to provide this information to the Regional FPO within 30 days.
