The Deep East Texas Local Workforce Development Board, Inc. is seeking qualified entities to enter into a contract to provide the following services on an individual referral basis for the period July 1, 2004 through June 30, 2005:

Occupational skills training for persons funded under the Workforce Investment Act Youth program, Welfare-to-Work program, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program. Occupational skills training is education/training of generally two (2) years or less in a program that leads to a degree, certification, or licensure that prepares an individual to enter employment in an occupation on the targeted occupation list for Deep East Texas.

Intensive services for persons funded under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), Welfare-to-Work (WtW) program, and Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. Intensive services are those programs or courses lasting six (6) months or less, not leading to a degree, certification, or licensure, that prepare an individual to enter/re-enter employment or training. Examples of intensive services are English-as-a-Second-Language, GED preparation, basic skills/literacy, tutoring, and computer literacy. (Note: If any of these services are provided in conjunction with occupational skills, they are not intensive services but are classified as training and a separate Training Provider application must be submitted).

Qualified programs/services are those offered to the general public at a specified cost. Eligible entities include secondary and post-secondary education agencies; adult, literacy and continuing education providers; for-profit and not-for-profit providers; and community-based and charitable/faith-based organizations. Interested parties must submit a completed Request for Information form and meet minimum criteria for service providers set by the Board.
