Summary
Career Services reported plans to travel to the Department of Labor next week to present projects tied to the Dislocated Worker program, with Housing and other staff joining; the unit spotlighted counselor Audrey Driscoll and said the effort aims to supplement existing grants.
Diane Kelly of Career Services told the committee the department is planning a trip to the U.S. Department of Labor next week to present projects and pursue grants under the Dislocated Worker program. Kelly said the department has done similar outreach for 12–13 years and this will be its fourth trip to Dallas.
Kelly said the department spotlighted counselor Audrey Driscoll as a key staffer who receives many referrals. She said Housing's Todd Enloe and "Mister Aspil" will accompany the delegation to the Department of Labor and that they hope to learn about new grants that could supplement existing funding streams.
Kelly described the outreach as part of a longer-standing strategy to bring additional dollars into programs such as TANF and other workforce services; she invited members to submit questions and said she would follow up if further detail was needed.
