			 provide this information to its subgrantees subject to the execution of shared
			 data agreements with the Department.

			 duration of employment, if and when the individual filed for unemployment
			 insurance, or other educational or training related factors.

			 agency seeks to attract new manufacturers to this State. This agency requests
			 current information on the number, size and type of major potential suppliers
			 and subcontractors in a given geographical area. Upon written request, the IDES
			 Director will provide the data to the agency.
4) EXAMPLE: The Illinois Department of Human
			 Services- Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) is attempting to contact
			 specific groups of potential employers for their newly trained clients. Upon

			 companies that are experiencing growth or whose records indicate other factors
			 that might lead to the hiring of the DORS clients. A similar outreach effort
			 could be made on behalf of welfare recipients, ex-offenders, youth or the
			 aging.
