Policy

Action Bulletin #8:
Requires each One Stop Career Center to have a Civil Rights and Complaint procedure in effect to address discrimination issues based on race, color, creed, disability, national origin, six, age, political affiliation or beliefs. The Certification/Information Processing Unit (CIPU) of the Alameda County Workforce Investment Board (WIB) has developed a form that the customer signs upon completion of an application for the WIA Title I program affirming receipt of the complaint summary form.

Action Bulletin #9:
Allows the One Stop Career Center to refer a customer for eligibility determination who has not completed the Steps to Success referral process, but who has a significant probability for success in obtaining or retaining employment. The C/IPU has developed a Talent Scout referral form that the career counselor completes to refer the customer for eligibility determination.

Action Bulletin #10:
Requires each One Stop Career Center to use the Individual Employment Plan form developed by an EASTBAY Works open work team. The Individual Employment Plan is an ongoing strategy jointly developed by the customer and the case manager that identifies the participant's employment goals, achievement objectives, and the combination of services to achieve the goals.

Procedure

Civil Rights and Complaint Summary Procedure: REPLACE the cover, the last page of the index; page 1; page 64 and page 65 of the TAG.

Action
