a. 2. Describe Strategies Developed to Support Training and Awareness Across Core Programs and the Unemployment Insurance Program, and the Training Provided for Employment Services and WIOA Staff on Identification of Ui Eligibility Issues and Referral to Ui Staff for Adjudication.
Current Narrative:
In contrast to most states, Arkansas continues to maintain unemployment insurance staff members in each of the State’s workforce centers. The continuing presence of unemployment insurance staff members in local workforce centers enables ADWS to be poised to provide in–depth assistance to UI claimants and its workforce partners. UI Administration will continue to utilize the UI Technical Unit to provide staff training to unemployment insurance staff. UI Technical will provide necessary training to Employment Services and WIOA staff concerning general concepts related to the unemployment insurance program and potential issue identification.
