Current Narrative:
Improve and Expand Grantee Communications
The state’s size—268,581 square miles—and travel costs limit regular face–to–face meetings. Grantees implement several strategies to increase and improve communication. TWC will schedule and facilitate grantee conference calls, as needed, to share information. Grantees will encourage field staff to connect with other field staff in the same workforce area and coordinate on efforts that strengthen partnerships with Boards and other local entities.
Other Education and Training Providers
SSAI has promoted the American Association for Community Colleges’ “50 Plus Initiative” through SSAI’s SCSEP subgrantee network. The initiative is designed to help low–income, older job seekers with workforce training and in making career changes to high–demand fields through programs offered at community colleges. TWC will seek to enhance these efforts by:
- Sharing information with grantees on literacy, English as a Second Language (ESL), and high school equivalency resources developed by TWC’s Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) Department; and
- Attending relevant meetings and conferences, when possible, to identify training and vocational rehabilitation (VR) resources for seniors.
