CDO Workforce Releases Strategic Action Plan
|
The Board of Directors and Executive Director, Alice Savino, of the Chenango, Delaware and Otsego County Workforce Development Board (CDO WDB) recognizes the importance of the organization’s role as a driver, primary resource and partner in ensuring a talented and well-trained workforce as an essential ingredient for the long-term economic sustainability of the service area.
In 2019, the CDO WDB engaged strategic planning and economic development consultants Susan Payne and Margaret Lawrence to facilitate and guide a strategic planning process.
The CDO Workforce Board of Directors and staff were actively engaged in gaining an understanding of today’s workforce landscape and the projected challenges. Based on an understanding of the demand and workforce dynamics in the services area, the Board of Directors established mission and vision statements for the organization and also agreed on a set of measurable strategic objectives and an action plan to address the top five strategic priorities.The process provided focus and serves as a guide for the organization’s activities in 2020-2022.

CDO Workforce Introduces New Virtual Job Shadow Pilot -
Seeking Youth with Disabilities, ages 18 – 24, for this Pilot Program
CDO Workforce is launching a Pilot Project:
Effective Use of Virtual Job Shadowing Software. We will be using virtual job shadowing software as one component of the Integrated Resource Team job placement and work experience activities. The pilot project will run until April 23rd to assess the effectiveness of the Virtual Job Shadowing on-line software program as a tool for young adults, ages 18-24, with disclosed disabilities.
The purpose of the software is to improve the knowledge, awareness and skills of participants related to career exploration, finding jobs, and job readiness skills. The goal of this project is to find out how the new Job Shadowing Software can be helpful for career exploration and job search; and to find out how employment counselors can use this software to better support those who are looking for work.
The software has been tested in many settings successfully. We hope to learn what tools serve youth and employment counselors and determine what strategies will support use and integration of
Virtualjobshadow.com into career exploration at CDO.
Project Contacts: Alan Sessions or Kathy DeAngelo, 607-432-4800
Project Outcome Goals for CDO Staff:
- Strategies to successfully incorporate the Virtual Job Shadowing Software into CDO to improve services and supports to youth.
- Data, measurable impact from pre and post-assessment, and lessons learned gathered from both youth and employment counselor; based on the analysis of the data, recommend process to make sure the software can be successfully used by more youth.
.
Key Pilot Project Questions:
- Do youth improve their knowledge and awareness of careers, education and training, and job skills after completing Virtual Job Shadowing planned lessons and activities?
- Do youth and young adults identify a realistic career pathway after participating in the Virtual Job Shadowing pilot project? (Realistic= understanding of what education and training is needed; and career choice matches personal interests, talents, and goals.)
- Do the job shadowing software activities motivate or guide participants to further job search or job placement activities?
CDO Workforce is seeking 25 youth with disabilities, ages 18 – 24, for this pilot program, Youth should be open to career exploration assistance. Youth that are interested in the pilot should contact Alan Sessions at 607-432-4800 x 109 or e-mail:
cdoworkforce@gmail.com for more information.

CDO Workforce: Bobbie's Success Story
Bobbie was referred to the OTDA Jobs Program Specialist in the CDO Workforce Center for assessment and employment services. The day she was in the Center she also attended a recruitment for Chase Nursing Home.
Bobbie mentioned at her assessment that she had a CDL-A license that had expired, and she had been seeking employment with JB Hunt Trucking as a driver but would need assistance with paying her DMV fees and her DOT physical.
Bobbie was referred to the OET Employment & Training counselor and she was enrolled a few days later. During her initial assessment it was discovered that Bobbie had received an offer of employment with JB Hunt. Bobbie had previous experience as a truck driver, over 7.5 years, her DMV cost would be $17.50 to renew her CDL-A license.
Bobbie’s steps included the completion of a physical through JB Hunt, updating of her CDL-A license, the completion of on-line lessons starting December 10, 2019, and completed by December 23, 2019, and attending orientation with JB Hunt prior to beginning employment.
Bobbie was referred to and approved for WIOA Adult supportive services to help her pay for her CDL-A license update. Bobbie received an interim CDL-A updated license on December 13, 2019, at Chenango County DMV. She is expected to receive her new CDL-A license within two weeks.
Bobbie successfully completed all on-line lessons, attended her orientation and began employment with JB Hunt on December 30, 2019. She has earned her first pay check and continues to work full-time, approximately 34 hours per week.
With the collaboration and assistance of CDO Workforce Partners, Bobbie completed all her goals within a one-month time period, and it is expected that she will continue to be successful at JB Hunt.
Congratulations, Bobbie!

CDO Workforce: Joe's Success Story
Joe, a 24 year old SSDI Beneficiary, reported to the CDO Workforce Center in Oneonta seeking local job search assistance as he recently resigned from his previous position. He had been working part-time for four years at a hardware store in a nearby town. He moved to Oneonta in October 2017 to share an apartment with brother and commuted to work (70 miles round-trip). His employer was putting pressure on him to work more hours on a regular basis. Joe wants to stay around 20 hours a week due to anxiety and panic attacks, which have stayed under control while he works at this level. An Integrated Resource Team (IRT) meeting was held with Joe, his mom, the CDO Youth Program Counselor, CDO Benefits Counselor and Disability Resource Coordinator (DRC) to assess his employment situation and provide SSDI benefits advisement.
The Benefits Counselor referred Joe to Social Security to replace his lost Social Security Card, discussed the Ticket to Work Program, and obtained the Benefits Planning Query for SSDI. The Benefits Counselor also discussed establishing an ABLE Account, which Joe expressed interest in, but did not want to create an Account until he had employment. Joe assigned Ticket to Work to CDO Workforce, part of NYESS Employment Network. The Youth Counselor explained the Out of School Youth program and facilitated completion of necessary paperwork for services, including Work Experience.
Joe is eligible for Disability Employment Initiative (DEI) Program funding, as he is 24 years old and has revealed that he has disabilities. His assessment identified the following barriers: lack of job seeking skills including job search strategy, lack of interviewing skills, no resume, as well as a lack of career exploration. He indicates that he needs a work environment which is low stress. He would like to continue to work in retail, but has anxiety attacks if he becomes too “stressed out.”
A follow-up IRT was held with the Benefits Counselor, DRC and Joe to review the BPQY report.
The DRC reviewed and helped Joe revise his resume and provided Career Exploration services focusing on employment skills, personal interests, and determining likes and dislikes from his retail employment history. Joe is interested in working in a small department or at businesses where staff work together as a team and there are low stress levels. He is comfortable working alone, but he does enjoy interactions with co-workers. In the past, his employer provided an ongoing accommodation when he became stressed or anxious, he would excuse himself from the sales floor for 5-10 minutes to relieve his anxiety and he was able to return to work and finish the shift. Joe completed a Job Zone Assessment that showed strong interest in Realistic and Conventional occupation groups. These groups included manufacturing, food service, and construction jobs. After reviewing these results, he indicated an interest in exploring careers in manufacturing.
A local manufacturer set up Job Shadowing for Joe as they had Assembler job openings. Joe participated in Job Shadowing and believed he would enjoy an assembly job. He completed the application for part-time work. The DRC provided the business with information about the Work Experience program in which Joe would work 20 hours a week at $11.10/ for about 10 weeks (200 hours). He would be on the CDO Workforce’s payroll, but was assigned duties, supervised, and worked as an Assembler at the business.
He did not get a job offer from the manufacturer (no reason given). Joe went to a second Job Shadow at another manufacturer, but did not wish to apply because the work involved aerospace products and he felt anxious about making mistakes while assembling these types of products.
The DRC discussed food service jobs at a local hospital and he applied. The hospital was interested in our Work Experience Program and started him as a Dietary Aide. Joe enjoyed the work and did not experience the level of anxiety that he struggled with while employed in retail.
The hospital was happy with his quality of work and hired him after his Work Experience program ended. He was hired in January at the hospital as a Dietary Aide.
Congratulations, Joe!

Local Disaster Response Team Forming In Chenango County
There’s a new effort underway to form an Early Response Team (ERT) in Chenango County to help coordinate an organized response for neighbors and communities to recover from disasters, such as regional flooding.
Broad Street United Methodist Church, 74 N. Broad Street in Norwich, (607) 334-2895, is sponsoring an all-day training event on Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 8:30 AM – 5 PM. Lunch will be provided.
Must be over the age of 18.
In addition to the debris removal, there are multiple other tasks suitable for people who do not feel able to do the heavy lifting.
The expectation is that the ERT team will help to fill a void in the overall coordinated response to local disasters. As such, it is also being conducted in cooperation with the local Emergency Management System.
Broad St. Church has arranged to pay for the background check and the registration fee for the first 30 people who register for the course. "Please consider helping your neighbors by becoming a part of this team."

CDO Workforce Program & Incentive Highlights
|
|
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.

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!
