Adult Employment: Low Skills/Multiple Barriers
ADVANCE Employment Services w ill serve unemployed and under-employed adults (18 or older) w ith multiple barriers to permanent, sustainable employment. Those employment barriers include, but are not limited to: limited or inconsistent w ork history, lack of high school diploma, GED or other limited educational credentials, lack of access to childcare, low credit score, limited transportation options, homeless or lack of stable housing, conviction history, physical or mental health disability, and structural racism.
Given the signif icant racial disparities in opportunity and hiring practices (structural racism) exposed by the recent Race to Equity report*, w e w ill fulf ill our mission to serve and create opportunity for predominantly persons of color - though anyone in need is w elcome to engage our employment services. At least 75% of those to be served w ill be persons of color – predominantly African American and Latino; at least 90% w ill be low income; at least 20% w ill have a prior history of incarceration; our gender ratio w ill be roughly 50-50. As part of our multi-generational strategy, at least 30% of those to be served w ill be the parent of one or more young children. We target parents w ith the understanding that our employment services positively impact the economic stability of the entire household, not only the job seeker being served.
*African Americans in Dane County are 5.5 times more likely to be unemployed than their Caucasian counterparts, compared w ith a national average disparity of about 2 times the unemployment rate.
The mission of ADVANCE Employment Services is to provide demand-driven, career-pathw ay employment and training services that help low -income individuals and families w ith multiple employment barriers become economically self-suff icient. We offer w ork readiness assessment; individualized employment planning; foundational w ork readiness training; accelerated career academies focused on in-demand industries (construction, healthcare, IT, insurance, education, and others); fatherhood support and development programming for non-custodial fathers; job search and job placement assistance; job retention and advancement case management; and a netw ork of referral partners for other support services. We have a netw ork of over 30 business partners that w ill help us train at least 200 individuals and place at least 70% into jobs at a target rate of $15+ per hour.
Other
Cultural relevance is core to the mission of Urban League. We are an aff iliate of the nation’s oldest African-American led civil rights and social service organization. Operating in Madison since 1968, our board and staff leadership is majority persons of color, and in the case of our staff the majority are f irst-generation college graduates. Demonstrated experience w orking w ith diverse populations is a required qualif ication for all positions at the Urban League. We also ensure our staff and organizational leadership participate in ongoing professional development to hone their cultural competency skills. This includes programs such as the YWCA’s Racial Justice Summit, Conference, and YWomen Lead program, annual training through the National Urban League Whitney M. Young Conference, training through the UW Institute for the Research on Poverty, trauma-informed care training, training through the Center on Family Policy and Practice, and many others. ULGM also hosts the region’s premiere annual conference dedicated to w orkplace diversity. This Diversity Summit convenes national and local diversity experts and area business and non-profit leaders to learn and replicate new and proven strategies for ensuring diverse and inclusive w orkplaces. All ULGM staff have the opportunity to attend this conference. We are part of the United Way HIRE Initiative w hich has been providing training to Employer Council members and agency partner staff on topics including diversity, mental health f irst-aid, trauma-informed care, and other topics to ensure our services are relevant to individuals living in poverty and those from diverse racial, ethnic, and other backgrounds.
We do not currently provide bi-lingual services, how ever, our Workforce Program Recruitment Specialist is a bi-lingual female, and w e have very active partnerships w ith the Literacy Netw ork, Centro Hispano of Dane County, and the Latino Academy for Workforce Development thus allow ing us preferred referral relationships for individuals seeking English language assistance or bi-lingual employment services.

Reiteration from #9, above:
Once an individual has entered the w orkforce, the Employment Specialist w ill provide individualized coaching, including follow up w ith the employer and the employee at a minimum of 7, 15, 30, 60, 90 day intervals and then monthly for at least 12 months after employment is secured. The Specialist w ill also help participants address challenges and access w ork supports to elevate earned income. We w ill host “alumni events” at least tw ice per year to stay connected w ith graduates, and to ensure opportunities for graduates to come together in a group setting w here they can sustain the peer support and netw orking that w as established w ith their cohort peers during training. These sessions w ill also include presentation of information on a career advancement related topic. We are also convening a task force comprised of key business partners to explore models for w orkplace mentoring programs that have proven success in the construction industry.
We draw upon numerous internal and external resources to support participants. As needed, w e provide: construction w ork clothing such as boots, coats, and gloves; bus passes and gas vouchers for travel to and from training and w ork. Through the HIRE Initiative w e have a dedicated part-time housing case manager and funds for emergency rental assistance and security deposits. We are also currently w orking closely w ith the United Way of Dane County on the possibility to obtain new resources to support child care needs through an alignment w ith their Born Learning initiative. Similarly, w e are exploring w ays to better take advantage of the City of Madison Childcare Assistance Program. ULGM just began employing a Dane County Economic Support Specialist based at the PE/PR Employment Center w ho can help participants navigate public assistance programs, and the person currently in this role has a special expertise around the Wisconsin Shares child care program. We also now employ a new , full-time FoodShare Employment & Training Case Manager on our staff. Beginning in the fall 2017, the Dane County Joining Forces for Families Program w ill host off ice hours once per w eek at the PE/PR Employment Center to help participants access support services. We collaborate w ith the YWCA Madison Driver’s License Recovery program, and are able to do a pre-screening and then refer eligible participants. We also maintain an extensive directory of additional external service providers for childcare, mental health, AODA, housing stabilization, and other support services. In addition, w e make use of the United Way 211 line to identify resources and connections that w e are unable to meet internally.
Also of note is that most of our programming operates utilizing a cohort model. Through this approach, participants form pow erful camaraderie, connections, and support netw orks that positively impact their chances of success in job training, acquisition, and retention.
The ULGM adult employment services team includes a full-time Recruitment Specialist w ho is responsible for implementing a multi-channel strategy to recruit low -income job seekers. This includes: (1) identifying prospective participants from the ULGM’s existing clientele and encouraging past program participants to refer friends and family members; (2) neighborhood canvassing; (3) formal referrals from public sector w orkforce and related agencies including the Dane County Job Center, DCHS, FSET Program, DVR, and others; (4) “reverse referrals” from our business partners; (5) outreach an established and grow ing netw ork that includes neighborhood centers, corrections agents, schools, food pantries, churches, neighborhood police, and others; and (6) broad aw areness efforts through our extensive email distribution, w ebsite, and social media channels. Through these channels w e w ill: disseminate at least 5,000 informational f lyers; host 20 community-based info sessions; host info tables at 12 or more community events; canvass low -income neighborhoods at least 2x per month; post at least monthly on social media, email, and w eb reaching 10,000+ subscribers; distribute information to low -income parents through the ULGM’s 12 school-based staff; invite prior trainees to make referrals of their friends and family; and more.
The assessment, selection, and onboarding process for trainees consists of three parts: (1) Information/Orientation Session; (2) Enrollment; and (3) Individualized Employment Planning. Informational sessions give potential applicants an overview of ULGM employment services, program expectations, attendance requirements, training schedules, and more. The enrollment process includes a paper or electronic application follow ed by a one-on-one interview . New this year is a pre-recorded online information session to expand access. Within 48 hours follow ing submission of an application, the prospective member meets w ith an Employment Specialist for a 2-hour enrollment interview . A detailed enrollment questionnaire w ith standardized and scored Condition Assessment questions assess their skills, experience, employment history, criminal background, housing situation, childcare and transportation needs, and more. We then utilize the National Work Readiness Assessments to assess literacy, math, and other w ork readiness skills. Finally, each participant completes an individualized employment plan w hich addresses both short and long term training and employment goals along w ith a plan to address

Positions include Medical Scheduler, Health Unit Clerk, Medical Receptionist, Registrar, Patient Services Representative, and other Healthcare Support roles.
ADVANCE Employment Services became an approved employment training provider as part of the Dane County FoodShare Employment and Training (FSET) Program in the fall of 2015. In 2017, ULGM became an FSET Case Management provider, w ith tw o of our Employment Specialists trained as FSET Case Managers.
The United Way HIRE initiative is an innovative collaboration betw een 5 long-standing community-based employment agencies and 20 area employers. The purpose of the collaborative is to help low -income adults secure career pathw ay employment paying $15 or more, and to help employers meet their need for a skilled, diverse w orkforce. In addition to being part of a “community of practice” w here new program models and best practices are shared, w e also have access to additional participant support resources such as housing assistance and referrals from United Way early childhood programs.
ULGM and CUNA Mutual Group (CMG) w ill launch a new Insurance Operations Support Academy. We w ill collaborate on a 4-w eek pre-training that w ill teach skills including report processing, data validation, policy & claim servicing, know ledge management systems, forms distribution, call processing, and mailbox management. Graduates may be placed in an 18-month rotation through the business units in CMG’s Operations Division: Lending, Claims, & Retirement. Starting pay is $15/hr. + benefits and union representation. Follow ing this rotation, trainees can apply for permanent positions at $20+/hr.

We receive funding and/or technical assistance from the City of Madison, United Way of Dane County, Dane County Human Services, the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, and others. ULGM became part of the Youth Employment Netw ork (YEN) earlier this year. One of the future goals of YEN is to identify processes for smoother hand-offs betw een the youth and adult employment systems. Likew ise, the group w ill be exploring w ays to engage the parents of youth program participants in adult programming and conversely, to engage the children of parents in the adult system w ith programming in the youth employment system. We are also exploring a partnership betw een our CLASS Academy and a proposed initiative by the Lussier Community Education Center and others to train people for youth w ork positions, w ith a long term vision to create a pathw ay to becoming certif ied teachers, social w orkers, and school counselors.

Addressing issues of poverty and racial inequity are at the core of the Urban League’s mission. We have a longstanding track record of successfully engaging these under-served demographic groups as evidenced by the enrollment in our programs. For example, 73% of participants last year w ere non-w hite - compared w ith 20% for the general population of Madison. More specif ically, 62% of those served w ere Black/African American compared w ith 7% in the overall City of Madison population. Additionally, 19% of participants last year w ere female. 90% of those served last year had incomes below $20,000, and 67% had incomes below $10,000. At least 40% w ere the low -income parent of one or more young children.
Yes, our program staff ing reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the residents served. Currently, 100% of program staff are persons of color (50% African-American, 30% Latino/a, and 20% American Indian) and 40% are female. One of our team members is also Latina, and a bi-lingual Spanish-English speaker. Beyond program staff ing, ULGM is committed to racial and cultural diversity throughout the organization. For example, 50% of the Urban League's Board of Directors are persons of color, and 70% of our total organizational staff are persons of color. Moreover, a staff survey in 2014 found that tw o-thirds of our staff w ere f irst generation college graduates.

Adult Employment: Low Skills/Multiple Barriers
START - Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Readiness Training is neighborhood-based apprenticeship readiness program that helps people of color, w omen, and other adults w ith employer barriers prepare for construction careers through state-approved apprenticeship. It w as one of the f irst in Madison this year to obtain designation from the Wisconsin Apprenticeship Advisory Committee as a Certif ied Apprenticeship Readiness Program. The program provides: an overview of apprenticeship and information about each of Wisconsin’s skilled trade apprenticeship programs; math tutoring and practice testing to prepare for apprenticeship qualifying exams; technical skills development, and one-on-one coaching. Our goal is to serve at least 120 participants, of w hich at least 80% w ill pass a qualifying exam and at least 65% w ill obtain either a pre-apprenticeship, a letter of introduction, a sponsoring employer, and/or placement on a rank list.
In alignment w ith the Urban League's mission to foster economic opportunity for under-served populations, the START program’s purpose is to train and place w omen and/or persons of color into w ell-paying careers in the construction and utilities industries through state-approved apprenticeships and provide qualif ied candidates to our employer partners seeking to diversify their w orkforce. The program is part of the Urban League's Workforce Services department, providing training and support to unemployed and under-employed job seekers, particularly those challenged by employment barriers such as limited academic credentials, inconsistent w ork histories, incarceration records, and other obstacles. To reach its target audience, the program operates in neighborhoods w ith high concentrations of poverty. During the past 24 months, classes have been held at the Lussier Community Education Center, the East Madison Community Center, and the Allied Drive Center. As a result of this approach, more than tw o-thirds of those served in the START program over the years have been w omen and/or persons of color. In 2018, w e project at least 70% of participants w ill be persons of color and 15% w ill be female.
Other
Cultural relevance is core to the mission of Urban League. We are an aff iliate of the nation’s oldest African-American led civil rights and social service organization. Operating in Madison since 1968, our board and staff leadership is majority persons of color, and in the case of our staff the majority are f irst-generation college graduates. Demonstrated experience w orking w ith diverse populations in a required qualif ication for all positions at the Urban League. Our START staff is 75% persons of color, and 33% female. We also ensure our staff and organizational leadership participate in ongoing professional development to hone their cultural competency skills. This includes program such as the YWCA’s Racial Justice Summit, Conference, and YWomen Lead program, annual training through the National Urban League Whitney M. Young Conference, training through the UW Institute for the Research on Poverty, trauma-informed care training, training through the Center on Family Policy and Practice, and many others. ULGM also hosts the region’s premiere conference each year dedicated to w orkplace diversity. This Diversity Summit convenes national and local diversity experts w ith area business and non-profit leaders to learn and replicate new and proven strategies for ensuring diverse and inclusive w orkplaces. All ULGM staff have the opportunity to attend this conference. We are part of the United Way HIRE Initiative w hich has been providing training to Employer Council members and agency partner staff on topics including diversity, mental health f irst-aid, trauma-informed care, and other topics to ensure our services are relevant to individuals living in poverty and individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and other backgrounds.
We do not currently provide bi-lingual services; how ever our Workforce Program Recruitment Specialist is a bi-lingual female, and w e have very active partnerships w ith the Literacy Netw ork, Centro Hispano of Dane County, and the Latino Academy for Workforce Development thus allow ing us preferred referral relationships for individuals seeking English language assistance or bi-lingual employment services.

Recruitment is conducted by ULGM’s Construction Programs Manager and a full-time Recruitment Specialist, both dedicated to recruiting w omen, people of color, and other low -income individuals. Our nearly 50-year history in Madison has enabled ULGM to develop a w ide-ranging netw ork of referral sources. Moreover, because of our track record and national netw ork, over one-quarter of enrollments in our w orkforce programs are generated through w ord of mouth. Another signif icant source of referrals are local apprenticeship programs, w hich refer disqualif ied candidates to the START to help prepare them to re-apply. We also operate at least tw o START classes at annually at the East Madison, Meadow ood, or Lussier Community Centers. We have an extensive netw ork of public and non-profit agencies that refer participants, w e promote through the Construction Workforce Diversity Alliance (CWDA). We assist w ith monthly apprenticeship overview sessions at the Dane County Job Center. We are listed w ith the United Way 2-1-1 referral system, w e are part of the Dane County FSET netw ork. We operate a long-standing support program for low -income, non-custodial fathers w hich includes referrals from the Dane County Child Support agency. Also as described elsew here, START w ill be w orking more deliberately w ith the Construction Employment Initiative. We conduct door-to-door canvassing of key neighborhoods on a monthly basis. We reach out through our 13 school-based youth programs staff. ULGM also has an extensive email, social media, and w eb presence that reaches over 10,000 individuals per month and w e have numerous other community and faith-based partners.
The assessment, selection, and onboarding process for trainees consists of three parts: (1) Information Session; (2) Enrollment Process; and (3) Individualized Employment Planning. Informational sessions give potential applicants an overview of the industry, career outlooks, apprenticeship overview , w ork requirements and physical demands, and career pathw ays. We also review program guidelines and expectations, attendance requirements, training schedule, and curriculum. The enrollment process includes a paper application follow ed by a one-on-one interview . During this process w e collection information current and past employment status, household income, and dozens of other w ork readiness factors. We currently use a mix of the National Work Readiness Assessments and the TABE to assess literacy math and other w ork
We draw upon numerous other internal and external resources to support participants. As needed, w e provide: construction w ork clothing such as boots, coats, and gloves; bus passes and gas vouchers for travel to and from training and w ork. Through the HIRE Initiative w e have a dedicated part-time housing case manager and funds for emergency rental assistance and security deposits. We are also currently w orking closely w ith the United Way of Dane County on the possibility to obtain new resources to support child care needs through an alignment w ith their Born Learning initiative. Similarly, w e are exploring w ays to better take advantage of the City of Madison Childcare Assistance Program. ULGM just began employing a Dane County Economic Support Specialist based at the PE/PR Employment Center w ho can help participants navigate public assistance programs, and the person currently in this role has a special expertise around the Wisconsin Shares child care program. We also now employ a new , full-time FoodShare Employment & Training Case Manager on our staff. Beginning in the fall 2017, the Dane County Joining Forces for Families Program w ill host off ice hours once per w eek at the PE/PR Employment Center to help participants access support services. We collaborate w ith the YWCA Madison Driver’s License Recovery program, and are able to do a pre-screening and then refer eligible participants. We also maintain an extensive directory of additional external service providers for childcare, mental health, AODA, housing stabilization, and other support services. In addition, w e make use of the United Way 211 line to identify resources and connections that w e are unable to meet internally.
Also of note is that most of our programming operate utilizing a cohort model. Through this approach, participants form pow erful camaraderie, connections, and support netw orks that positively impact their chances of success in job training, acquisition, and retention.
Reiteration of #9, above:
Employment Specialists provide coaching and retention services for one year follow ing placement*, and check in w ith members at regular intervals: 30, 60, and 90 days, and 6 and 12 months. Members are strongly encouraged to contact their Employment Specialist any time that employment concerns arise, and Employment Specialists are happy to act as intermediaries betw een the member and their employer as needed. Our employer partners are likew ise encouraged to make contact any time they have concerns about a member they’ve hired.

The Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards (BAS) is a division of the WI DWD that oversees apprenticeship programs in the state. Beginning this year, BAS instituted a process to “certify” apprenticeship readiness programs. START w as f irst in the Madison region to gain this seal of approval. This w ill provide an opportunity for access to BAS apprenticeship readiness resources, technical assistance, and statew ide collaboration opportunities. In addition, ULGM CEO Ruben Anthony w as recently appointed as a member of the BAS Statew ide Apprenticeship Advisory Committee, w hich advises the Bureau.
in September 2017, ULGM w as invited by the National Urban League to be part of a United States Department of Labor effort to implement the Wireless Infrastructure Apprenticeship Access Initiative, also know n as the Urban Apprenticeship Jobs Program - an effort designed to cultivate apprenticeship opportunities w ithin the Information and Communication Technology Sector. This partnership w ill provide ULGM w ith technical assistance and connections to industry leaders and cutting edge models for apprenticeship in the w ireless industry.
In addition to the partnerships listed above, the START program collaborates w ith the Construction Employment Initiative to integrate apprenticeship readiness into its construction readiness programming. The Construction Workforce Diversity Alliance provides a platform for engagement w ith over 30 contractors, union and non-union registered apprenticeship programs, state and local public agencies (CDD, WisDOT, DWD, WDBSCW, and others), industry associations (Associated General Contractors (AGC), Association of Building Contractors (ABC), Veridian Homes), over 20 commercial and residential contractors, Madison College, and other construction and apprenticeship stakeholders. ULGM is part of the United Way HIRE Initiative w hich is chaired by the CEO of J.H. Findorff – one of the state’s largest contractors. Through HIRE, ULGM is part of an Employer Council that meets monthly, and includes several other construction industry employers. Additionally, housing assistance and housing case management is available to ULGM trainees through the YWCA’s involvement w ith HIRE. The Urban League is a certif ied provider through the Dane County FoodShare Employment & Training Program (FSET), thus allow ing participants to fulf ill FSET training and w ork requirements through our programs. Additionally, earlier this year ULGM became an off icial FSET Case Management agency.

Yes, our program staff ing reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the residents served. Currently, 75% of program staff are persons of color, 50% are female, and 25% are bi-lingual Spanish-English speakers. As noted above, one area of opportunity is to increase our enrollment of w omen. Earlier this year, the Urban League promoted a Latina female to lead the recruitment efforts for its adult w orkforce programs, and more recently one of our female Employment Specialists has started assisting w ith the Trades Academy classes. Additionally, w e make extra efforts to engage female trades w orkers as program volunteers to help w ith mock interview s, construction site visits, and more. Beyond START program staff ing, ULGM is committed to racial and cultural diversity throughout the organization. For example, 50% of our Board of Directors are persons of color, and 70% of our total organizational staff are persons of color. Moreover, a staff survey in 2014 found that tw o-thirds of our staff w ere f irst generation college graduates.
Adult-Certif ication obtained/Industry credential attainment including achieving apprenticeship
At least 80 individuals w ill pass their apprenticeship qualifying exam and at least 65% w ill obtain either a pre-apprenticeship, a letter of introduction, a sponsoring employer, and/or placement on a rank list. Participants are informed from Day 1 that classes are w orkplace simulations; professional demeanor is expected, and coaching is provided as needed. The program includes résumé and cover letter preparation, and mock interview s. Participants demonstrate their w ork readiness via personal conduct, preparing a professional résumé and cover letter, and through mock interview s.

Adult Employment: Low Skills/Multiple Barriers
CEI is a consortium of organizations w orking to increase the pipeline of people of color, w omen, and low -income individuals w ho are entering the region’s construction w orkforce. CEI encompasses 3 construction readiness programs: Foundations for the Trades, Bi-Lingual Construction, and OFS Grad Crew . In addition to cohort-based training, CEI provides individualized coaching, job placement, and case management. The YWCA also leads D&I training for contractors. The collaborative w as formed to conduct joint recruitment, streamline enrollment, coordinate schedules, share best practices, and more. The partnership has also secured joint funding, hosted job fairs, and engaged dozens of businesses and apprenticeship programs. CEI w ill provide at least 60 job seekers w ith intensive w ork readiness & technical skills training, w ork experiences, and case mgmt. CEI has secured w ritten commitments from 10 area contractors w ho have agreed to hire at least 50 graduates at w ages from $15 to $22/hr.
CEI w ill serve unemployed and under-employed adults 18 and older w ho have at least tw o of the follow ing barriers to employment: lack of high school diploma, GED or other limited educational credentials; limited or inconsistent w ork histories; prior record of incarceration; limited English language proficiency; homeless or lack of stable housing; lack of a driver’s license; lack of experience w ith hand and/or pow er tools; lack of experience w orking outside. The Construction Employment Initiative aims to predominantly serve w omen and people of color w ho are vastly under-represented in Dane County’s construction and skilled trades w orkforce. At least 75% of those to be served w ill be persons of color – predominantly African American and Latino; at least 20% w ill be female; at least 85% w ill have households incomes below the federal poverty level; at least 20% w ill have a prior history of incarceration; and at least 25% w ill be non-native English speakers.

As a result of these efforts, w e anticipate at least 65% of participants w ill be betw een the ages of 18 and 29. Lastly, w e think it important to note this w ork impacts entire households, not just the job seeker being served. At least 30% of those to be served w ill be the parent of one or more young children.

Language access and/or cultural relevance is core to the mission of each CEI partner. In fact, w hen view ed as a collaborative, CEI brings an unprecedented cultural expertise in the areas of race and ethnicity, language, gender, and age. The Urban League of Greater Madison is an aff iliate of the nation’s oldest African-American led civil rights and social services organization. Operating in Madison since 1968, our board and staff leadership is majority persons of color, and in the case of our staff majority are f irst-generation college graduates. ULGM hosts the region’s premiere gathering dedicated to w orkplace diversity on an annual basis, w here w e convene national and local diversity experts w ith area business and non-profit leaders to learn and replicate w orkplace diversity best practices.
The founding purpose of The Latino Academy of Workforce Development is to provide culturally competent, bilingual adult education, training and employment services. The LAWD staff and Steering Committee are likew ise comprised of a majority of persons of color. All LAWD staff are f luent in Spanish, and have expertise and resource connections to meet the needs of undocumented w orkers. Operation Fresh Start w as founded in 1970 to serve the needs of young offenders and high school dropouts. Over that time, OFS has earned the reputation as the premiere community-based agency w ith the cultural expertise to meet the needs of disconnected and disengaged youth and youth adults. This has been recognized through their national designation as an aw ard-w inning YouthBuild program. Over the last three years, OFS has increased the diversity of its staff by 11%. YWCA Madison boasts race and gender equity programming as one of its three primary thrusts. Their array of programming aimed at “eliminating racism and empow ering w omen” includes Racial Justice Workshops, an annual Racial Justice Summit, a Racial Justice Certif icate Program, and an Equitable Organizations consulting program for local businesses and non-profits. Similarly, their gender equity initiatives include the annual Moxie Conference, Women of Distinction, and YWomen Lead program.
Currently, 67% of CEI program staff are persons of color, 23% are female, and 33% are bi-lingual Spanish-English speakers. Each of the four CEI partner agencies has one or more bi-lingual staff members. In addition to our w ork w ith job seekers, CEI also w orks w ith contractors and other industry stakeholders to build more inclusive organizations. CEI w ill

Our recruitment strategies and channels include: (1) identifying prospective participants from the thousands of existing clientele served by each agency annually; (2) formal referrals from public sector w orkforce and related agencies including the Dane County Job Center, DCHS, FSET Program, DVR, WorkSmart Netw ork, and others; (3) referrals through industry partners such as joint apprenticeship committees, contractor “reverse referrals,” and the Construction Workforce Diversity Alliance (CWDA); (4) Other community service agencies including neighborhood centers, community corrections agents, school counselors, alternative education programs, neighborhood based police off icers and others; and (5) broad outreach efforts through each partners’ email distribution, w ebsites, and social media channels. Through these channels w e w ill: disseminate at least 5,000 informational f lyers; host 20 community-based info sessions; host info tables at 12 or more community events; post at least monthly on social media, email, and w eb reaching at least 10,000 people; distribute information to low -income parents through the ULGM’s 12 school-based staff; make presentations to at least 12 industry partners or contractors; invite prior trainees to recruitment sessions and encourage them to make referrals of their friends, family and others; and more.The assessment, selection, and onboarding process for trainees consists of three parts: (1) Information Session; (2) Enrollment Process; and (3) Individualized Employment Planning. Informational sessions give potential applicants an overview of the industry, career outlooks, apprenticeship overview , w ork requirements and physical demands, and career pathw ays. We also review program guidelines and expectations, attendance requirements, training schedule, and curriculum. The enrollment process includes a paper application follow ed by a one-on-one interview . During this process w e collection information current and past employment status, household income, and dozens of other w ork readiness factors. The FFTA utilizes the National Work Readiness Assessments and LAWD utilizes the TABE to assess literacy, math, and other w ork readiness skills. Finally, each participant completes an individualized employment plan. The plan addresses both short and long term training and employment goals along w ith a plan to address barriers such as housing child care and

Stevens Construction and Dave Jones, Inc. have committed to providing 25 hours of pre-hire, w orksite training to participants in the Bi-Lingual Construction Academy. Trainees w ork on a commercial construction project during this time, and are guarantees an interview w ith the company once they complete. HR Managers from each company also participate on a Steering Committee w here they help w ith program and curriculum design, mock interview s, and more.
CEI w ill be expanding its collaboration w ith Madison College and the START Program to help CEI trainees gain exposure to the ACCUPLACER, w hich is the qualifying exam used by most Wisconsin registered apprenticeship programs. Through this partnership, each CEI participant w ill complete a pre-test and get individualized feedback on their results. We are also exploring the potential to administer the ACCUPLACER at CEI program sites on a regular basis to ease accessibility. Trainees desiring to pursue apprenticeship w ill be referred to the START program for more intensive tutoring and test prep.
START is an apprenticeship readiness program acquired by ULGM. In March 2017, START became one of the f irst programs in Wisconsin to gain Apprenticeship Readiness Certif ication through DWD. START w ill offer at least 40 hours of apprenticeship readiness programming in each CEI class. This w ill include ‘apprenticeship 101,’ overview of the 19 WI skilled trade apprenticeship programs, eligibility requirements and application processes for each, presentation from JAC training director, and a mock apprenticeship exam plus an individualized session w ith each trainee to review the results.
We signed MOUs in 2017 w ith the Electrician’s Joint Apprenticeship Committee and the Wisconsin Laborer’s Council. Each has agreed to: refer disqualif ied apprenticeship applicants and others to CEI’s training programs; provide us w ith information about their apprenticeship application requirements, processes, and timelines; periodically review our training curricula to ensure alignment w ith industry needs; assist w ith training by providing guest speakers, mock interview ers, host tours of w orksite and apprenticeship training centers; designate a representative(s) to participate in the CWDA.
Collaboration is a hallmark of the Construction Employment Initiative. In addition to the internal collaboration betw een OFS, LAWD, ULGM, and YWCA, w e are engaged w ith numerous other partners. Each organization is able to draw upon a w ide array of other programs that they offer such as GED classes, ESL classes, CDL classes, additional w ork readiness training, career academies in different industries, and much more. Other external partners include the City of Madison, United Way of Dane County, and Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development w hich provide funding and technical assistance. The Construction Workforce Diversity Alliance provides a platform for engagement w ith over 30 contractors, union and non-union registered apprenticeship programs, state and local public agencies (CDD, WisDOT, DWD, WDBSCW, and others), industry associations (Associated General Contractors (AGC), Association of Building Contractors (ABC), Veridian Homes), over 20 commercial and residential contractors, Madison College, and other construction and apprenticeship stakeholders. ULGM, LAWD, and YWCA are part of the United Way HIRE Initiative w hich is chaired by the CEO of J.H. Findorff – one of the state’s largest contractors. Through HIRE, these agencies are part of an Employer Council that meets monthly, and includes several other construction industry employers. Additionally, housing assistance and housing case management is available to CEI trainees through the YWCA’s involvement w ith HIRE. The Urban League is a certif ied provider through the Dane County FoodShare Employment & Training Program (FSET), thus allow ing participants to fulf ill FSET training and w ork requirements through our programs. Additionally, earlier this year ULGM became an off icial FSET Case Management agency. ULGM, LAWD, and YWCA are also participants in the Dane County Employment & Training Coalition w hich provides a platform to learn about and partner w ith other public and private employment and training providers in the region. Urban League CEO Dr. Ruben Anthony w as appointed in 2017 to serve on the Wisconsin Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards. In September 2017, ULGM w as invited to participate in a joint project betw een the U.S. Dept. of Labor and the National Urban League on the Urban Apprenticeship Jobs Initiative – an effort designed to cultivate apprenticeship opportunities w ithin the Information and Communication Technology Sector. ULGM and OFS are participants in the Madison Youth Employment Netw ork (YEN). One of the future goals of YEN is to identify processes for smoother hand-offs betw een the youth and adult employment systems. Likew ise, the group w ill be exploring w ays to engage the parents of youth program participants in adult programming and conversely, to engage the children of parents in the adult system w ith programming in the youth employment system.

17. PARTICIPANT DEMOGRAPHICS: The City is interested in addressing issues of poverty and racial equity for residents of
Madison. Examine the completed chart in question 16 on Madison demographics. Please comment on your programs current
service participants and identify your underserved population(s). Explain how you understand any disparities and plans you
have to address these issues.
18. STAFF DEMOGRAPHICS: Does the staffing of the program reflect the racial and cultural diversity of the resident If not, what plans do you have to address this?
19. OUTCOMES: Select two outcomes from the drop down boxes that you expect the proposed program to achieve.
Outcome #1:
What systems will you put in place to capture the information you need to measure this outcome?
Outcome #2
What systems will you put in place to capture the information you need to measure this outcome?
Addressing issues of poverty and racial inequity are at the core of CEI's mission. Each of the CEI partner agencies has longstanding track records of successfully engaging these under-served demographic groups as evidenced by the enrollment in our construction readiness programs last year. For example, 85% of participants last year w ere non-w hite - compared w ith 20% for the general population of Madison. More specif ically, 62% of those served w ere Black/African American and 19% w ere Hispanic/Latino compared w ith 7% for each of these racial/ethnic groups in the overall City of Madison population. Additionally, 19% of participants last year w ere female. While this is below the representation of females in the general population, it is signif icantly above the 2% rate at w hich females are represented in Wisconsin's skilled trades. Regardless, w e do still believe there are opportunities to bolster our efforts to enroll female participants - in particular by targeting females of color w hich experts have suggested as a proven strategy for bolstering overall diversity in the construction trades.
Yes, our program staff ing reflects the racial and cultural diversity of the residents served. Currently, 67% of program staff are persons of color, 23% are female, and 33% are bi-lingual Spanish-English speakers. As noted above, one area of opportunity is to increase our enrollment of w omen. Earlier this year, the Urban League promoted a Latina female to lead the recruitment efforts for its adult w orkforce programs, and more recently one of our female Employment Specialists has started assisting w ith the Trades Academy classes. Additionally, w e make extra efforts to engage female trades w orkers as program volunteers to help w ith mock interview s, construction sites visits, and more. Beyond CEI program staff ing, the CEI partners are committed to racial and cultural diversity throughout the organization. For example, 50% of the Urban League's Board of Directors are persons of color, and 70% of our total organizational staff are persons of color. Moreover, a staff survey in 2014 found that tw o-thirds of our staff w ere f irst generation college graduates.
Adult-Certif ication obtained/Industry credential attainment including achieving apprenticeship
Adult-Employment or increased employment to living w age/above living w age
At least 85% of trainees (at least 51 trainees) w ill obtain industry recognized credentials. Successful training program graduates w ill have earned at least 5 of the follow ing credentials: OSHA 10 certif ication, First Aid/CPR certif ication, National Work Readiness Credential (NWRC), Workzone Flagger certif ication, Fall Protection, PACT Certif icates I-IV, Forklif t License, and/or Apprenticeship Readiness Certif ication from Wisconsin DWD Bureau of Apprenticeship Standards.
At least 45 training graduates w ill secure new or better employment in construction or a related f ield earning at or above the City of Madison living w age rate. At least 20 of these graduates w ill secure positions that are registered apprenticeship or pre-apprenticeships. We w ill obtain employment verif ication from both the employer and the employee. Other metrics to be tracked w ill include and pre- and post-training w age rates of each participant and 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month job retention rates.

1. AGENCY MISSION STATEMENT
2. AGENCY EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS IN PROPOSED PROGRAM(S)
3. AGENCY UPDATE: Describe any significant change or shifts that the agency has experienced in the last few years,
or that you may anticipate in the next few years. For example, changes in leadership, significant turnover in staffing,
strategic planning processes, expansions or loss of funding. What, if any, affects will these shifts have on the agency's
ability to provide contracted services? If there are no changes, write "no changes" in box below.
The Urban League of Greater Madison (ULGM) has maintained a stable and vibrant 501(c)(3) nonprofit operation serving Dane County since 1968. We are an independently incorporated aff iliate of the National Urban League w hich has led the movement for opportunity and civil rights for more than 100 years nationally, and in virtually every major metropolitan area in the nation. Observing our mission to “ensure that African Americans and other community members are educated, employed and empow ered to live w ell, advance professionally and contribute to the common good in the 21st Century,” our education, employment, and empow erment programs serve more than 2,000 youth, adults, and families each year, and thousands more are impacted through a multitude of community engagement and advocacy efforts. The Urban League of Greater Madison currently employs a team of 30 full-time staff, tw o-thirds are persons of color, nearly three-quarters hold a post-secondary degree, and all have demonstrated experience effectively meeting the needs of under-served populations. Last year, the w ork of our staff team w as bolstered by 944 volunteers w ho gave 19,633 hours of service. Our Workforce Services Department is staffed by 10 full-time, seasoned professionals
One of the most signif icant agency changes in the last three years w as the appointment of Ruben L. Anthony, Jr., PhD to serve as President & CEO. Dr. Anthony's 19 years' experience at the Wisconsin DOT as Deputy Secretary and COO overseeing 3,600 FTEs and an annual budget of over $3.25 billion is a tremendous asset, along w ith his expertise in disadvantaged business enterprise capacity building, w orkforce development in the road construction industry, and more. Also notable, our Board of Directors adopted a 5-year strategic plan to double the scale of our w orkforce readiness programs, and place at least 1,500 low -income adults and youth into sustainable jobs by 2020. Our adult employment placements have grow n 124% - from 136 in 2014, to 305 in 2015. Other notable changes: acquisition of Construction Training, Inc. a non-profit agency operating the Skilled Trades Apprenticeship Training, the Construction Workforce Diversity Alliance, that served as lead agency for Construction Training Initiative, and endeavored to increase and improve access, recruitment, training and retention of w omen and minorities in construction trade careers via state-approved apprenticeship programs; a new partnership w ith the City of Madison to operate the new Park Edge/Park Ridge Employment Center; membership in the Youth Employment Netw ork to increase youth employment programming at the PE/PR center and create a strong bridge betw een the youth and adult w orkforce development systems; certif ication as a FoodShare Employment and Training provider AND case manager; joining the United Way HIRE Initiative and the Dane County Employment & Training Coalition; a new partnership in 2017 w ith the UW Madison to bolster the evaluation of our adult employment programs; new career academies for para-educators, insurance operations, medical scheduling, and others; new designation as a “Certif ied Apprenticeship Readiness Program” from Wisconsin DWD Bureau of Apprenticeship Readiness Standards; and more.
The Urban League of Greater Madison's mission is to ensure that African Americans and other community members are educated, employed and empow ered to live w ell, advance professionally and contribute to the common good in the 21st Century.

4. ENGAGEMENT: Describe how you integrate, or will integrate, community input into your agency and program planning(e.g., input or involvement in the creation, design, implementation, and feedback for services)? How will these efforts improveyour services? Include specific strategies that address client and participant engagement, along with relevant community
engagement.
5. LONG TERM GOALS FOR PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: What developments do you hope to see in your proposed
programming over the 3-5 year funding period?
Key long term program development goals include: 100% utilization of the Park Edge/Park Ridge Employer Center scheduled to open in summer 2018; utilize our presence in schools to recruit even more low -income parents into our adult employment programs; increase evening and w eekend programming options to reach more under-employed w orkers; identify more transitional jobs and paid internships/w ork experiences; identify some common intake and w ork readiness assessment tools that can be shared across our netw ork of partner agencies; expand our partnership w ith YWCA Madison to provide more intensive diversity and inclusion w ork w ith area employers; identify and implement a successful w orkplace mentoring component, particularly w ithin our construction programming; continue to stay demand-driven, and offer programming aligned to the most current industry/employer partner needs; bolster our systems for tracking and reporting long-term job retention; increase our capacity to help participants w ho have been placed into employment to advance in their careers over the long-term, including through apprenticeship; integrate into our program model a Financial Empow erment Center model that has been developed by the National Urban League in part through a collaboration w ith the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Working Families program model; be at the forefront of efforts by the Dane County Employment & Training Coalition and others on a “Collective Impact” type model that breaks dow n silos, reduces redundancies, and optimally leverages all of the w orkforce development assets that our community has to offer.
We w ork closely w ith many employers and unions seeking qualif ied w orkers, and rely on their extensive engagement to keep our program current. The START program is guided by an Advisory Committee of industry and union partners that contribute to program and curriculum design, provide classroom instructors, host training at w ork sites, and more. Our employer-partners conduct mock interview s w ith program participants, resulting in tw o important benefits: 1. participants receive valuable interview experience and feedback from employers in the trades, and 2. our employer-partners get to know prospective candidates better in this instructional setting than they might in a formal interview . Also, our regularly scheduled program-specif ic information sessions provide an opportunity for community members to engage w ith program instructors; their responses to the presentation and their questions provide valuable feedback to the presenter as to community members’ interests and insights into strategies to increase the success of both the presentation and training approach and material w ith their target audience.
