| Name: | Mahoning and Columbiana Training Association |
| Date Formed: | 6/3/1983 |
| County: | Mahoning |
| Purpose: | Other: Workforce Investment Act (WIA)- Employment and Training |
| Service Explanation: | Assessment and Career Counseling: The MCTA assessment includes standardized tests and interviews.
These activities are designed to collect information in order to help identify vocational strengths and special needs which
may influence reaching an employment goal. Career Counseling is provided to promote vocational exploration, using information
identified during assessment. Assessment information and Career Counseling will help the customer determine an appropriate
employment goal. Occupational Skills Training: MCTA provides an Individual Training Account (ITA) to eligible customers
who complete all necessary assessment and counseling activities, meet requirements to enter training services, and are selected
to receive one of the limited training opportunities available. ITA's are restricted to public and private education programs
which have been approved for the Eligible Training Provider List. MCTA encourages non-traditional training for women.
(Non-traditional jobs are those in which women make up 25% or less of the total number of workers in that occupation.)
Special Services: MCTA recognizes that some customers may need supportive services in order to complete occupational skills
training and secure employment. Customers with an identified supportive service need such as child care assistance, a uniform, or a physical exam may be referred
to a One Stop System Partner or may be assisted by MCTA.
Individual Employment Plan (IEP): Eligible customers approved for services will develop an IEP with the assistance of a Career Consultant.
This plan will outline steps and services to reach employment. Once employment has been achieved, the plan will ensure that follow up
services are available for 12 months. On the Job Training: MCTA provides cash reimbursement to employers to offset costs the employer
will incur when training eligible MCTA customers as new employees. MCTA and each employer participating in this activity enter into
an On the Job Training Contract, which stipulates the training schedule, duration, hours, wages, etc. Youth Programs: MCTA along with
other community partners provide workforce development activities for in and out of school youth. They include job readiness training,
job shadowing and career exploration, GED preparation, summer employment opportunities, job search assistance, vocational training and
much more. To be determined eligible, youth must be between the ages of 16 and 21 years old, income eligible as defined by the federal
guidelines and must have a barrier (basic skills deficient, school drop out, offender, homeless, foster child, pregnant or parenting,
or may need additional assistance to find a job or finish school as defined by the local Workforce Investment Board).
Member Organizations: MCTA has required partner organizations as well as other organizations that provide employment and training
services to be part of the one stop for workforce services. Many partners are co-located at each of the One-Stops providing staff and
time to help job seekers and employers find resources and services to meet their individual needs. |
