b. 6. Describe a Strategy for Continuous Improvement in the Level of Performance for Scsep Participants’ Entry into Unsubsidized Employment, and to Achieve, at a Minimum, the Levels Specified in Oaa Section 513(a)(2)(e)(ii). (20 Cfr 641.302(f))

Current Narrative:

The State’s Strategy for continued improvement in the level of performance is reviewing Minnesota’s needs in terms of occupations in demand (OID) and training the SCSEP participants in those occupations and industries that are in demand.

The following are the current top 10 high growth occupations in demand in Minnesota: Registered Nurses, Combined Food Preparation and Serving Workers, Inc., Stock Clerks and Order Fillers, Heavy and Tractor–Trailer Truck Drivers, Customer Service Representatives, Office Clerks, General, Software Developers, Applications, Personal Care Aides, Cashiers and Licensed Practical and Licensed Vocational Nurses.

Senior workers can be trained to enter jobs in these industries and OIDs. Staff will work with economic development agencies and the high growth employers to fine–tune individual employer workforce and training needs. Using this information, staff can ensure participants, to the extent possible, are trained for particular jobs in specific high growth industries and occupations.

Community colleges, community education providers, Workforce Centers, and professional retired individuals may be utilized for training resources. Key organizations that serve diverse populations assist with special needs training plans and assignments. With the increased labor shortage and skills gap, SCSEP participants may need additional training to compete in the labor market, and referrals to other supportive services, co–enrollment into (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WI0A) and funding for other formal training may increase.
