b. 1. If the State is Utilizing Work-based Training Models (e.g. On-the- Job Training, Incumbent Worker Training, Transitional Jobs, and Customized Training) as Part of Its Training Strategy and These Strategies Are Not Already Discussed in Other Sections of the Plan, Describe the State’s Strategies for How These Models Ensure High Quality Training for Both the Participant and the Employer.
Current Narrative:
Adult and Dislocated Worker Services: Local providers of Adult and Dislocated Worker services work collaboratively with Wagner–Peyser providers, Veterans programs, Registered Apprenticeship and other State funded programs, such as the Competitive Skills Scholarship Program. Access to basic career services is available to all interested individuals at any of Maine’s comprehensive and satellite one–stop centers. Formula and Wagner–Peyser providers also collaborate to deliver Individualized Career Services and to ensure appropriate referrals to and from core and other WIOA required partner programs. Each of the core programs provides intake, assessment and individualized plan development services to eligible participants and have agreed to collaborate by sharing information resulting from these processes with each other on behalf of shared clients. It is anticipated that the new America’s Job Link Alliance case management and job bank system may pro–vide a format for universal intake that can be used and accessed by each of the four core WIOA partners. Training services provided under the formula programs will be integrated with services of the Adult Educa–tion and Literacy and Vocational Rehabilitation providers as appropriate and on behalf of shared partici–pants. Traditional training venues will continue to be provided such as Individual Training Accounts, but a stronger emphasis will be placed on utilization of employer–based training methods such as on–the–job training (OJT), customized training (CT), transitional jobs, registered apprenticeship, paid and unpaid in–ternships and work experience for youth.
