    Slide 1:Workforce Innovation

    “Ideas are like rabbits. If you rub two of them together, you’ll soon have a dozen.” John Steinbeck paraphrase

    Slide 5:A School in Every One-Stop

    North Central Washington: Out-of school youth are enrolled in their “academy” The Center picks up roughly$5000 in State Education $ for every kid and gives about $1000 back to the local school district The kids work on a degree and, if they follow through, get a paid internship The workforce area doubles it’s youth $, lowers the local dropout rate, helps the schools during a budget crisis and delivers 250 new HS degrees per year!

    Slide 6:Waivers and Workflex

    Performance standards are waivable! That’s how we got the Common Measures ... Does the “entered employment” rate make sense now? How about the youth “literacy/numeracy rate? USDOL wants NEW performance ideas! What should we be delivering and measuring during the “Great Recession”?

    Slide 7:Core, Intensive and Training

    The whole “C-I-T” or “inverted pyramid” model is outdated and useless. Is “Exit” an outmoded concept? What about life time learning, instead, and alumni services? Why not become a “WorkFlex” State?

    Slide 8:What’s A One-Stop?

    There are three places to spend the $: 1) training and supportive services, 2) staff salaries and fringes, and 3) One-Stop rent and overhead. Which would you cut first? What would a One-Stop look like w/o the building? A skilled staff person with a laptop IS a One-Stop

    Slide 11:So What Else is Really Cool?

    WIA is a good old car that gets 15 mpg. It’s time to test drive some new models! What do you do BEST that needs to be expanded? What great new ideas are you ready to try out?

    Slide 12:WHAT’S NEXT???

    Old Ray Smith ... “Pick one thing from your list each day, forget about the rest and get that one thing done.” LA Times Horoscope: “You don’t need to get involved in every good idea that comes along. One or two are you can handle at once.”
