Yesterday I received a visit from Ronald Coppernoll of the SW Wisconsin Workforce Development Board. It appears that they will be receiving federal stimulus money to help youth get job training. There target age is 14-24, but in our situation, he’s looking at the upper end of that range as opposed to the lower end.
The program would place someone in your library for 30 hr/wk, June through August. The program takes care of the salary and workman’s comp insurance. All you need to do is scheduling and supervising. Timesheets could be sent via the delivery to me and I’ll send them along to them. This seems very similar in structure to a Green Thumb program or the Older Worker’s program that some of you may have participated in.
They have set aside 2-3 positions for library placement. If you are interested, send me a detailed proposal on the types of job duties that this person would be assigned to perform. I’ll compile the proposals and pass them to Ronald and let him make the decision. Please send me your proposal by Wednesday, March 18, 2009.
One side note: SW WI Workforce Development Board covers all of our counties EXCEPT Crawford (your covered with the La Crosse area). For you in Crawford County, it doesn’t mean you cannot submit a proposal, it just means that the person placed will have to live in Grant, Iowa or Richland Counties.
