Current Narrative:
DWDAL and the DUI work collaboratively to provide workforce development opportunities to all non-job attached claimants in Maryland. This will be accomplished utilizing a variety of strategies including initial mailers from DUI describing the requirement for enrollment and call in of claimants for RESEA or ROW for UI claimants. Under the Maryland UI law, claimants must enroll in Maryland’s AJC system within four weeks of receiving the UI pamphlet. Claimants must enroll either in person by visiting their nearest AJC career center or via the internet at https://mwejobs.maryland.gov/vosnet/Default.aspx. A list Maryland’s AJCs is included as part of the mailed pamphlet.
WIOA increases connections between the job training and employment services and the UI system. Maryland will offer its full array of AJC Services as options for reemployment services to UI customers, including basic and individual career services and training services under WIOA. UI claimants will benefit from the enhanced services, including the labor exchange services and career guidance that are included as career services under Title I as well as activities that assist workers in identifying and obtaining jobs in in-demand industries and occupations.
