ACTION: Notice of availability of technical Assistance.

All interested parties must participate in an introductory seminar prior to selection.

All interested service providers MUST: (1) Contact CET to arrange to attend an information seminar if the organization has not previously attended one; (2) by September 30, 1992 if the organization has previously attended an information seminar or within 15 days of their attendance at a seminar, the organization must submit in writing to the Department of Labor at the address below, the organization's intent to apply for this technical assistance award, and (3) by October 15, 1992 for those who have previously attended a CET information seminar or within 30 days from attendance of an information seminar, submit an original and four copies of a brief but thorough application to the Department of Labor at the address below, discussing the criteria as required below.

This is not a toll-free number. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Center for Employment Training (CET) offers a unique training program which challenges standard notices of training the disadvantaged. It is a holistic approach to train the hardest-to-serve through a concurrent, integrated program of contextual learning. CET focuses on job training, but combines basic education and related services in context with this core training. This method of learning was recently endorsed by The Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills. Further, CET's program is unique in that it is accessible to all, with no entry tests or creaming. This represents the direction of the JTPA amendments which stress targeting to those most in need and intensifying and improving the quality of services offered. The CET design, as implemented through this replication, will reflect the key provisions of the new program design such as assessment and individual service strategy. In addition, CET is widely recognized as one of the most effective job training programs in the country. CET's program serving single minority mothers was credited with the most positive outcomes in a comprehensive study funded by the Rockefeller foundation. Technical assistance will be provided to up to 10 sites to replicate the CET job training model. This technical assistance award will provide for the training and technical assistance for local entities which are selected to operate the CET model program. Technical assistance is being provided to develop a CET-model base within the JTPA system that could provide for: a technical assistance capacity within the JTPA system; opportunity to uncover obstacles in implementing CET-model programs under JTPA;and the opportunity to delineate aspects of the model which provide the greatest benefit to JTPA participants. Selected organizations would enter into agreements with the Center for Employment Training to receive the technical assistance required for the development and start-up of the local CET model program. This a non-monetary award. The technical assistance award includes the local and CET on-site training to enable an organization to start its own CET model program. The award covers the cost of CET's services and most traveling that will be required of CET and of the service providers. However, start-up costs, including site development and preliminary staffing, will be the responsibility of the selected service providers. Operation costs of the model program are also not included and are expected to come from the organizations' regular JTPA and other funding. Additional resources may be necessary and may be obtainable from local foundations. CET will assist selected sites in finding additional funding sources, if necessary. This award is to provide services to the JTPA community. Eligible applicants are limited to service delivery area (SDA) administrative entities who run their own training programs, consortiums of service providers, not-for-profit organizations, community based organizations as defined under Section 4 of JTPA and local education organizations. Two types of applications will be accepted: (1) Applications from SDA administrative entities, and (2) joint applications with one party being the SDA administrative entity and the other being an organization listed above. Applications that do not include the local SDA administrative entity will not be accepted. INFORMATION SEMINARS JTPA service providers that are interested in receiving such technical assistance to develop and start operations on their own CET model job training program must, as stated above, contact CET at the number listed above, to arrange attendance at an information seminar. Attendance at the information seminars is restricted to those individuals who have the capacity to make decisions of participation for that organization. Although for the 10 selected organizations, most funds required for future travel to CET's headquarters in San Jose are provided for in the CET and DOL agreement, the initial costs to attend the information seminars are not covered. CET will assist in making these travel arrangements, however, all costs are the responsibility of the individual service providers. APPLICATION PROCESS Selection of service providers will be based upon criteria in three categories: eligibility, competitiveness, and additional factors. In order to be considered, an applicant must meet each of the criteria under the eligibility section. The information received under the competitive issues section will be used to rank applications. After all applications are ranked, the additional factors will be used to select a diverse group of sites. I. Eligibility (1) All entities must be or become JTPA service provides. All providers that are not JTPA administrative entities must jointly submit their applications with the SDA administrative entity. This joint application with the service delivery area administrative entity should show that the service provider is or will be receiving JTPA funds during Program Year 1992, (July 1, 1992 through June 30, 1993). The application should elaborate on the relationship between the service provider and the administrative entity. This should include descriptions of previous services, previous and current JTPA funding levels, and discuss the level of cooperation between the provider and the administrative entity. Further, any local procurement procedures that will be required to be met for starting and completing this project should be detailed in the application. (2) All entities must state that they are willing to participate in evaluation studies and to implement the core CET job training model. II. Competitiveness Applications will be judged equally based upon (1) the organization's level of commitment to the replication project, and (2) the apparent capacity of the organization to succeed with the replication. Measures of this commitment include but are not limited to cooperative relationships with the JTPA administrative entity (in those instances where the service provider is not the administrative entity), coordination with the State JTPA organization, coordination with other programs or activities for the JTPA eligible population including Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), funds available for this project, evidence of research into additional funding sources, ability of the service provider to operate the program in the future and private sector involvement in project. Measures of organizational capacity include but are not limited to the number of clients the service provider intends to serve, the number of occupations for which the service provider intends to train, previous experience, present facilities, and ability to meet JTPA performance standards. III.Additional Factors Other factors may be considered in the selection process to attempt to diversify the group to allow for studying the appropriateness of the model in various settings and providers of various sizes. These factors include: geographic area, service delivery area (SDA) size, urban or rural SDA, intended target population, and service provider's organization size. If the applicant feels that other factors are significant or unique, please discuss these additional areas as appropriate. Two competitions will be held. For those organizations that previously attended an information seminar at CET, three slots will be available to award before the new information seminars take place. This will help expedite the process and better distribute the projects over the period of the agreement. All other organizations who have not previously attended an information seminar will be eligible to apply after attending an information seminar, along with those organizations not providers for these remaining seven slots will be chosen after the last seminar. Questions about this Notice may be directed to Lisa Stuart at the DOL address or number above. Additional information about the CET job training model may be obtained from Eugene Hernandez at the CET address or number above. Signed at Washington. DC this 9th day of September, 1992 Robert T.
