III. b. 9. Addressing the Accessibility of the One-stop Delivery System for English Language Learners

Describe how the one-stop delivery system (including one-stop center operators and the one-stop delivery system partners) will ensure that each one-stop center is able to meet the needs of English language learners, such as through established procedures, staff training, resources, and other materials.

Current Narrative:

In order to help all clients better understand how to receive benefits and interact with the one-stop system, DWD initiated a contract with a language interpretation provider. The contract allows for in person interpretation of dozens of the primary languages spoken in Indiana. The contract also allows for phone interpretation services for additional languages not provided for by in-person interpretation.

Additionally, Title II ABE providers assist clients with Limited English Proficiency through classes that are conducted throughout the state to help them address their language goals. All one-stop partners will be able to refer these clients to the local ABE program for assistance.
