DISCUSSION
On February 22, 1995, the Texas Department of Commerce issued a guidance letter to all JTPA
Title III Sub-State Areas that announced the availability of capacity building funds for the Job
Training Partnership Act (JTPA) system
Contingent on the approval by the City Council of this M&C, staff proposes to submit a proposal
to the Texas Department of Commerce for 5170,511 00 to upgrade the computer system at the
Career Transition Center/JTPA Title III office At this time, the computer system is very limited
and in adequate for networking capabilities With the capacity-building funds, additional
computers, software, and a network system can be purchased to allow all employees direct
access to on-line participant information and records This will result in more efficient and
effective service to the customer and will increase overall customer satisfaction
The JTPA Title III program provides assistance for Dislocated Workers in Fort Worth enabling
them to re-enter the workforce The City of Fort Worth through The Working Connection
provides the dislocated workers with a variety of services, including, but not limited to,
Counseling, Job~~Club, Job Bank, and Resource Center, Basic Skills, Occupational Classroom
Training, Job Development, Placement, and On-the-Job Training ~`'~-~- ~~~ . `` ~>:
