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:

The State encourages local workforce development areas to work with partners ––including non–traditional partners such as faith based and community based organizations to identify resources for bilingual assistance in providing services. In addition, future staff recruitment efforts should considered inclusion of second language skills in job descriptions. Basic informational collateral materials describing basic program services should be made available in languages that reflect the make–up of the citizens in the community.

Currently the HiRE case management system is available in Spanish. Future enhancements will incorporate “Google Translate” additional languages based on community need.
