c. Describe the State’s Strategy for Providing Reemployment Assistance to Unemployment Insurance Claimants and Other Unemployed Individuals.
Current Narrative:
Strategies that are utilized to provide reemployment assistance include requiring UI claimants to register with the Labor Exchange (LE) system as an eligibility requirement for benefits; referring individuals to meet with an Employment Service staff member to register with the LE system immediately after filing a UI claim in-person; making available a reemployment self-assessment tool that will allow job seekers to respond to specific questions to assess the level of assistance required to obtain employment; conducting reemployment workshops for profiled individuals and other targeted populations in collaboration with local partners; providing one-on-one assistance to develop individual reemployment plans; increasing and improving messaging/communications related to employment services opportunities when individuals file claims via the website or call center; matching qualified job seekers with employers’ recruiting needs; utilizing electronic notification of available job openings; and making referrals for training or retraining on in-demand skills.
