The Key
The key to successfully working with the WIB is to realize that their needs are very different from our traditional adult education funders – local towns and the SDE.
![Page 7: EASTCONN ADULT SERVICES](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816633550346895dd99fa8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The Key From EWIB RFP:
SELECTION OF SERVICE PROVIDERS The primary consideration in selecting entities to
deliver services shall be the demonstrated effectiveness of that entity in delivering COMPARABLE services based on past performance. Performance factors shall include attainment of performance goals, costs, quality of training, and participant target groups. No bidder shall receive funds that duplicate services already available in the Eastern CT Workforce Investment Area.

What Does This Mean
This means we need to look at how we can meet their needs, not how we can fit what we are already doing into what they want.
And it means they are not going to give us additional money for programs that we already offer.

Funding Their funding often comes from the
Department of Labor and not the Department of Education.
DOL focus is employment SDE focus is education
Not mutually exclusive, but different goals and outcomes

What is the Difference?

What is different? Workforce Board funding can serve both those with
and without a high school diploma Stipends Workforce Board funding often is for a very specific
population (i.e. JFES, WIA, age sepcific) Minimum hours/week for some programs It is possible to combine Workforce Board funding
with other funding (i.e. SDE) to serve more adults (i.e. those with a diploma)
They often get new funds during the year (i.e. JFES I-BEST). Once you are their contractor, they can award you new programming without an RFQ process

More Differences Contracts, not grants Often have reduction in funding midyear Some programs’ classes can’t be
cancelled Workshops can be cancelled if minimum
enrollment isn’t met. If workshop is cancelled, we don’t get paid!
Recruitment Some have annual monitoring
