CDO Workforce Presents
at The New York Alliance
Partners In Employment Summit
In June, alongside Department of Labor (DOL) co-presenters, CDO Workforce Disability Resource Coordinators Alan Sessions and Kathy DeAngelo presented: "Disability Employment Initiatives - Understanding the Resources DOL Offers Businesses and Job Seekers Alike" at the New York Alliance Partners in Employment Summit.
The presentation outlined the effective practices, tools, resources and expertise that exist as a result of past and present Disability Employment Initiatives through the NYS DOL One-Stop Centers.
The initiatives are "Designed to improve education, training and employment opportunities and outcomes for youth and adults with disabilities. Attendees gain insight on strategies including financial capability, cross-systems collaboration, integrated resource teams, and systems change strategies. Any job seeker with or without a disability may access supports through a One-Stop Career Center and if a Disability Resource Coordinator is available the sky is the limit!"
DRC Kathy DeAngelo said "We really enjoyed the entire conference and our presentation was well received by the audience, which was comprised of community agency workers, administrators and parents of children with disabilities."
Co-presenters included: NYSDOL's Alan Gallagher, Workforce Programs Specialist 3 - Supervisor, Program Development Unit, Special Populations Team; Kerry Wiley, Workforce Program Specialist, Round 8, NYS DEI; Geri Walsh, DRC

CDO Workforce Trailing Partner Initiative

Trailing Partner Initiative
|
Dear Regional Employer Partner,
Have you ever had the experience of having the perfect recruit apply for a position with your company only to have the prospective employee decide to reject your offer due to concerns about opportunities both personal and professional for their partner?
Let us help you negotiate that dilemma.
With our extensive knowledge of local businesses, schools and non-profits we will often be able to suggest that place where a partner might find that “perfect fit” based on their skills, experiences and personal goals. We are in contact with regional employers every day and find that middle management and executive level jobs often go unadvertised locally due to the perception that there is no one to fill them. We also find that employers will create a job if presented with someone with a set of skills that can improve their business.
Together we can turn this problem into an opportunity!

The CDO Workforce New York One-Stop System has On-the-Job Training (OJT) Funds available.
The OJT funding provides companies with an incentive to hire and train individuals who lack the specific skills or experience for a job.
OJT is appropriate for occupations where classroom training is not suitable and for which specific job skills can be learned by a worker while engaged in useful work.
This program is for full-time (at least 32 hours per week) employment and cannot be used for seasonal, commission, or 1099 employment opportunities.
Business OJT users apply their own methods to teach workers the new skills necessary for successful employment within their company, while the trainee is performing productive tasks.
OJT contracts can be written up to $2,000 per trainee depending on amount of training provided.

New Hire Training and Existing Employee Training
|
New Hire Training (OJT): Intended to fund the on-the-job occupational skills training for newly hired workers in need of skill upgrade training for their job responsibilities immediately after hire.
Training that is provided under OJT is to participants who have been hired by the business. There should be a commitment by the business to retain the individual upon successful completion of the training.
Existing Employee Training (EET): Intended to provide occupational skills training to existing employees who are in low and middle-skills occupations, leading to job advancement and retention.
