EQUAL OPPORTUNITY IS THE LAW

It is against the law for this recipient of federal financial assistance to discriminate on the following bases: against any individual in the United States, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, sex stereotyping, transgender status, and gender identity), national origin (including limited English proficiency), age, disability, or political affiliation or belief, or, against any beneficiary of, applicant to, or participant in programs financially assisted under Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, on the basis of the individual’s citizenship status or participation in any WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity. The recipient must not discriminate in any of the following areas: deciding who will be admitted, or have access, to any WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity; providing opportunities in, or treating any person with regard to, such a program or activity; or making employment decisions in the administration of, or in connection with, such a program or activity. Recipients of federal financial assistance must take reasonable steps to ensure that communications with individuals with disabilities are as effective as communications with others. This means that, upon request and at no cost to the individual, recipients are required to provide appropriate auxiliary aids and services to qualified individuals with disabilities.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DISCRIMINATION

If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination under a WIOA Title I–financially assisted program or activity, you may file a complaint within 180 days from the date of the alleged violation with either:

The recipient’s Equal Opportunity Officer (or the person whom the recipient has designated for this purpose); or

Director, Civil Rights Center (CRC), US Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue NW, Room N-4123, Washington, DC 20210 or electronically as directed on the CRC website at www.dol.gov/crc.

If you file your complaint with the recipient, you must wait either until the recipient issues a written Notice of Final Action, or until 90 days have passed (whichever is sooner), before filing with the CRC (see address above). If the recipient does not give you a written Notice of Final Action within 90 days of the day on which you filed your complaint, you may file a complaint with CRC before receiving that notice. However, you must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the 90-day deadline (in other words, within 120 days after the day on which you filed your complaint with the recipient). If the recipient does give you a written Notice of Final Action on your complaint, but you are dissatisfied with the decision or resolution, you may file a complaint with CRC. You must file your CRC complaint within 30 days of the date on which you received the Notice of Final Action.

If you wish to file a complaint, please ask for the Workforce Solutions Office manager, or contact:

Parents, your child deserves the best. The Texas Rising Star (TRS) providers that partner with Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area Child Care Services meet requirements that exceed the state’s minimum Child Care Licensing (CCL) Standards.

TRS Certification is available to Licensed Center and Licensed and Registered Child Care Home providers who meet the certification criteria. The TRS Provider certification system offers three levels of certification (Two-Star, Three-Star, and Four-Star) to encourage providers to attain progressively higher certification requirements leading to a Four-Star level.

Across Texas, parents and families enroll their children into child care programs, including center-based and home-based programs. Numerous research studies have shown that at-risk children who attend higher quality child care programs are more prepared for school entry than children who do not attend quality child care programs.

Those providers that achieve TRS provider certification, offering quality care that exceeds the state’s minimum CCL Standards for director and staff qualifications, caregiver-child interactions, age-appropriate curricula and activities, nutrition and indoor/outdoor activities, and parent involvement and education, are in a better position to contribute to the early development of children. As providers progress through the levels of TRS provider certification, they contribute progressively more to the development of the children they serve on a daily basis.

Learn more about TRS eligibility.

Many of our providers utilize the Friends of Frog Street curriculum, which is designed to tap into a child’s nature and create a joyful experience from the first moments of the day until it is time to say goodbyes. The programs are filled with songs, music, hands-on materials and activities, chants, games, make-believe, designed to stimulate a child’s imagination, helping make each day a wonderful one. All of the curriculum and programs are aimed at one thing: igniting the minds of young children by fostering their academic, social and emotional growth through purposeful lessons and materials that intentionally produce a positive outcome. The comprehensive, research-based programs integrate instruction across developmental domains and early learning disciplines.

History

general Page

The Texas Legislature created the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) in 1995 and consolidated the state's employment related education and job training programs. They also gave the TWC responsibility for administering the Unemployment Insurance and labor law programs. Three years later in 1998, the 105th Congress passed the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 to consolidate, coordinate and improve employment, training, literacy and vocational rehabilitation programs in the United States. Together, these state and federal legislative actions changed the way local employment and training services were delivered in Texas.

One of the biggest changes was the creation and privatization of 28 local workforce development boards that are located through the State of Texas. The local workforce development boards are appointed by the County Judges of the service area and the Mayor of the largest city in the service area. Workforce development boards are responsible for planning, overseeing, setting policy and monitoring the service delivery system. Local workforce development boards emphasize employer needs when they design their service delivery system. Thus, the Chairperson of each local board and the majority of its members must come from the private sector.

Workforce development boards in Texas have led the country in the implementation of the new legislation by obtaining waivers to provide greater flexibility and through early implementation of the Workforce Investment Act. Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area has certainly been a major part of this success and is consistently considered one of the highest performing workforce development boards in the state.

Summer Earn and Learn

general Page

Summer Earn & Learn (SEAL) is a statewide initiative to offer students with disabilities, aged 14-22, work readiness training and paid work experience. 

Throughout the program, students receive work readiness training and connect with local employers where they have the opportunity to do hands-on work for five weeks or more. The students learn about the employer’s industry and develop skills and work experience that will prepare them for successful transitions to postsecondary education and employment. Upon completion of the program, some students are presented with the opportunity to become employed full-time.

The SEAL program is a partnership between the Texas Workforce Commission, WSRCA and Texas Workforce Solutions-Vocational Rehabilitation Services.

    Teacher Externship Program

    general Page

    The Teacher Externship Program is a collaboration between Rural Capital Area employers, Chambers of Commerce (Chambers) and Independent School Districts (ISDs) within the region, to provide middle and high school educators’ professional development opportunities to enrich the classroom to career connections made for students.

    Educators spend time with employers in various industries, to learn through direct experiences about how classroom content and learning strategies are applied in the workplace, to bring relevance to student learning.

    The teachers gain insights into both the technical and essential skills required in the workplace and integrate these insights into their teaching plans and classroom management to better prepare students for future careers. The five-day externship experience consists of an orientation, three days of teachers on-site with the businesses, and a final presentation day.

    In 2018 Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area collaborated with the following six ISDs and six Chambers to create externships for teachers to shadow area businesses:

    • Dripping Springs ISD and Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce
    • Georgetown ISD and Georgetown Chamber of Commerce
    • Hutto ISD and Hutto Chamber of Commerce
    • Leander ISD and Leander Chamber of Commerce
    • Round Rock ISD and Round Rock Chamber
    • San Marcos Consolidated ISD and San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce

    That year, 130 employers participated in the program, with 166 teachers from 50 academic subject areas successfully completing their externships. 

    The program had a 98% completion rate, with more than 16,600 Rural Capital Area students benefiting from educator experiences.

    How Does the Program Work?

    The ISDs market to recruit teachers to participate in the program, and the chambers of commerce market to recruit businesses to host workplace opportunities.

    The Chambers and ISDs then match the business and teacher based on the workplace requirements and the teacher’s subject matter. 

    After matches are made, the Chambers and ISDs work with the businesses and teachers to individualize each externship. 

    During the three days of interaction in the workplace, the teachers develop strategies to integrate, not only job-based learning for career content, but also essential skills into daily curriculum for students. 

    At the end of the program each teacher submits a sample lesson plan demonstrating the new strategies and schedule a date to present their learnings to their peers.

    What's the Purpose of the Program?

    The purpose of the Teacher Externship Program is to engage educators in activities in business and industry to learn how classroom content and learning strategies apply in the workplace. 

    Educators improve their instructional practices by incorporating employment skills that meet current industry standards.

            Fidelity Bonding

            general Page

            The fidelity bonding service helps at-risk job applicants get and keep a job. Workforce Solutions Rural Capital Area (WSRCA), in partnership with the Texas Workforce Commission, offer free fidelity bonding services to reduce employers’ concerns about hiring at-risk job applicants who cannot be bonded through other sources. 

            For this bonding, Union Insurance Group issues an insurance policy that protects the employer against employee acts of dishonesty such as larceny, embezzlement, and theft.

            Program Features

            • Coverage is free for six months. After six months, bonding becomes the employer’s responsibility.
            • Coverage is usually issued in the amount of $5,000.
            • There is no deductible.
            • There are no forms to fill out and no processing.
            • Coverage can be activated almost immediately.

            Eligibility

            Applicants eligible for fidelity bonding services include:

            • Justice-involved individuals, including individuals with records of arrest, probation, or any police record
            • Applicants with poor credit histories, including bankruptcy
            • Veterans dishonorably discharged from the military
            • Public assistance recipients
            • Applicants with a substance abuse history
            • Disadvantaged youth who lack a work history
            • Anyone who is declined fidelity bonding through the commercial bonding system

            A fidelity bond will not provide coverage for self-employed individuals looking for a performance bond, surety bond, or contract bond. Fidelity bonds cover only a specific employer-employee relationship, which is demonstrated by withholding income and social security taxes.

            A fidelity bond does not provide coverage for poor workmanship, job injuries, or work accidents.

            Requests for Fidelity Bonding

            Either the job applicant or the prospective employer can request bonding through any WSRCA Workforce Center. If the applicant is eligible, bonding coverage is effective immediately following certification or on the applicant’s first day of work once certified.

            The bond will be mailed to the employer and is issued for six months. After that, employers may purchase a transfer bond for an additional six months at the insurance company’s discretion. Eventually, the employee may become permanently bondable.

            What is an Apprenticeship?

            Apprenticeship is an industry-driven, high-quality career pathway where employers can develop and prepare their future workforce, and individuals can obtain paid work experience, classroom instruction, and a portable, nationally-recognized credential.

            Apprenticeship is an “earn and learn” model that provides workers with income while they learn on the job.

            • Industry Led – Programs are industry-vetted and approved to ensure alignment with industry standards and that apprentices are trained for highly-skilled, high-demand occupations.
            • Paid Job – Registered Apprenticeships are jobs! Apprentices earn progressive wage increases as their skills and productivity increase.
            • Structured On-the-Job Learning/Mentorship – Programs provide structured on-the-job training to prepare for a successful career, which includes instruction from an experienced mentor.
            • Supplemental Education – Apprentices are provided supplemental classroom education based on the employer's unique training needs to ensure quality and success.
            • Diversity – Programs are designed to reflect the communities in which they operate through strong non-discrimination, anti-harassment, and recruitment practices to ensure access, equity, and inclusion.
            • Quality & Safety – Apprentices are afforded worker protections while receiving rigorous training to equip them with the skills they need to succeed and the proper training and supervision they need to be safe.
            • Credentials – Apprentices earn a portable, nationally-recognized credential within their industry.

            What is a Registered Apprenticeship?

            Registered Apprenticeship is the term used for apprenticeship programs that have a formal structure in which employers have established learning standards that meet national and state quality expectations. When individuals successfully complete a Registered Apprenticeship program, they receive a national credential that is recognized anywhere in the industry.

            What is Pre-Apprenticeship?

            A pre-apprenticeship is a program or set of services designed to prepare individuals to enter and succeed in a Registered Apprenticeship program. A pre-apprenticeship program, by definition, has a documented partnership with at least one Registered Apprenticeship program. Quality pre-apprenticeship programs are a starting point toward a successful career path for under-represented job seekers (such as disadvantaged women and men, individuals with disabilities and others) who may not be aware of this approach to obtain good jobs with opportunities for advancement. Pre-apprenticeships help individuals meet the entry requirements for apprenticeship programs and ensure they are prepared to be successful in their apprenticeship.

            Manufacturing Apprenticeship

            Why Become an Apprentice?

            Through an apprenticeship program, you can obtain paid, relevant workplace experience while acquiring the skills and credentials that employer’s value. 93% of apprentices who complete an apprenticeship retain employment, with an average annual salary of $77,000.

            Programs Offered in Multiple Industries

            Some industries with apprenticeship programs include (but are not limited to):

            • Advanced Manufacturing
