Performace Milestones The Terre Haute WorkOne office, Department of Workforce Development, has met or exceeded Performance Standards since 2000 in number of Employers Served, number of Job Orders, number of People Placed or finding jobs through our office and Customer Satisfaction. The Terre Haute WorkOne office is on track to exceed performance standards again this year, making this the sixth year in a row. Four hard working, Employment Specialists contact employers and send qualified job applicants to employers with job openings. As of January 2005, the office has served more than 365 employers with 1,025 separate job orders and has been responsible for directly or indirectly placing 2,650 people in jobs. The Terre Haute Office has processed 59,189 unemployment claims in the past six months. 16,967 claims were processed in January 2005. A total of 8023 new claims have been processed in the past six months. The high week total of January 8, 2005 was 4023. In January 2418 new claims were processed. Five Employers have utilized WorkKeys testing for 1001 customers with a total of 3100 assessments. The Information Resource Area Employment Counselors have helped over 1500 customers with resume, interviewing and job search skills. Mallory Workers Complete Training Recently, twenty-seven workers, dislocated by the closing of the Vishay-Mallory Plant in Greencastle, IN completed a thirty week training class to update their reading, math, writing, communication, office procedures, blueprint reading and computer skills. For many, this was their first effort at classroom training since high school, and they discovered that their self-esteem and confidence were enhanced along with their technical skills. Each participant received a Certificate of Technical Achievement (CTA) issued by the governor. A CTA provides a portable certification that documents the learners’ knowledge and technical skills in a statewide recognized format approved by the Indiana Workforce Proficiency Panel. The cooperation of the WorkOne partners and the Vishay-Mallory management team resulted in the receipt of Trade Adjustment Act dollars that made procurement of this type of training possible. |
