Process for Generating Needs-based Referrals Following the preliminary needs assessment, a list will be generated of potential services for which the client may be eligible. Work Web will design and adopt a standard method for facilitating referrals for clients. The Work Web will develop a consolidated marketing strategy resulting in more information being available to employers and minimizing duplication of efforts. The four service areas will be encouraged and assisted in the development of specialized marketing strategies which speak to those area's individualized needs and capitalize on existing local partnerships. Marketing in each service area will increase employer understanding of each program and facilitate the best match for their needs.
Integration is heavily reliant on technology infrastructure.
The timelines will move up if the technology is ready sooner. The Work Web Executive Committee will develop a consolidated marketing strategy for the nine county partnership and assist each service area to develop specialized marketing strategies for their communities. As described in Objective 1, above, individual customer needs will be assessed upon intake. Program eligibility determinations will be made by staff during this initial phase. Full integration of these services will require system changes in the categorical funding programs.
