THE NATIONAL COUNCIL ON THE AGING, INC_ SY Date BY Date (Signature of Authorized Subgrantee Officer) R. Marvin Townsend, City Manager (Type or Print Name and Title of Authorized Officer for Subgrantee) ATTEST: APPROVED: Bill Read, City Secretary Day of , 1980 BY; City Attorney APPROVED: BY: Authorized BY COUNCIL Day of , 1980 Harold Zick Director of Finance Secretary • a NARRATIVE CORPUS CHRISTI WORK EXPERIENCE OLDER WORKERS PROGRAM TITLE V Introduction and Background The Corpus Christi Older Workers Employment Program started operations in June, 1977; and has proven to be very helpful and successful. The program provides supplement income to older citizens and in some cases is the'sole source of income. During the past proposal year, 65 older workers were placed and serviced in comparison with 76 the previous year. The participants work from 20 to 25 hours per week, and are paid $3.10 an hour to $4.92 an hour. Their job titles include: clerical aides, senior services assistants, mini -bus drivers, librarians, and various positions. The 1980-81 fiscal year proposal is for 51 slots at any given time. This means that approximately 70 to 75 older workers may be serviced due to job place- ments and attrition. In addition to those serviced by the program, applicants who come into the office seeking assistance will be interviewed, counseled, and referred to other agencies or environments that will better fit their individual needs. Objectives and Needs The Older Worker Program is a unit within the Department of Personnel of the City of Corpus Christi. The five major objectives of the program continues to be (1) provide elderly, low-income persons with income; (2) help program participants to regain a sense of involvement within the community; (3) provide opportunities for program participants to acquire new skills and/or upgrade current skills; (4) place program participants into the competitive labor force, thereby creating opportunities for additional persons to enroll and benefit from the services offered by the program. This year's goal of placement is 30% of enrollment; and (5) provide communities with additional human services... Results or Benefits Expected (a) Major Benefits 1. Supplemental income; 2. Therapeutic and restorative experience of community service work; 3. Renewed sense of personal value arising from involvement with the community and the mainstream of life; 4. Acquisition or revitalization of specific job skills through limited pre -job training and continued on-the-job training work experience; 5. Development of "new careers" and upgrading of job -seeking skills; 6. Annual physical examinations; 7. Assistance with personal and job-related programs through counseling and referral to appropriate human service agencies; 8. Supportive services as needed and provision of important consumer - related information in areas such as Social Security benefits, in- come tax requirements, nutrition, personal health, etc.; and 8. Placement or re-entry where appropriate, into competitive labor market. (b) Secondary Benefits Important secondary benefits of a more general character will be available for the communities in which the project is conducted. The program is designed to provide a federally subsidized pool of manpower which will be utilized to upgrade existing human services, or to establish new ones. It is not the intent of the program that this pool of manpower be used to dis- place already employed workers or to provide maintenance or provide services for the benefit of private, profit making organizations. The program is Intended to enable communities to expand or initiate human service activities which could not normally be provided through existing local resources. • • Activities in Employment A major need -in the Coastal Bend is employment for persons 55 years of age & up. The three efforts currently available are: (1) public service employment, primarily through Title V funding under the Older Americans Act; (2) employ- ment advocacy, funded through Title III and Title V of the Older American Act; and (3) employment clearinghouse or "skills bank" referral service. The extent of these programs is described as follows: (a) The Corpus Christi Older Workers Program is sponsored by the City of Corpus Christi Personnel/CETA and is considered a public service employ- ment. This program is the program agent for 50-60 Title V positions through a grant from the National Council on Aging (NCOA). (b) Employment Advocacy, which began in May, 1977, with one half-time worker funded by the Area Agency on Aging using Title III funds. The pro- gram was expanded by the (AAA) addition of one half-time worker under the Work Experience Older Workers Program sponsored by the City. (c) Experience unlimited programs, which also partially staff by enrollees from the City's Work Experience Older Workers Program. This program helps to hire short term persons for such duties as yard man, car- penter, painter, etc. The Corpus Christi Older Workers Program places all its enrollees in meaningful jobs for 20 to 25 hours per week, and cooperates with other pro- grams who are servicing the older citizen as well as the community as a whole. It is estimated that the 1977 population of Corpus Christi was 225,000, with 207 of these citizens being over 55 years old. This means that approxi- mately 45,000 citizens in Corpus Christi are 55 years of age or above. It is projected that by 1980, there will be a shift to a larger percentage in the 65-69 age group, and a decrease in the 70-74 age group. Description of Subgrantee Organization The City of Corpus Christi is the sponsor of the Older Workers Program. The overall purpose of the program is to provide a unified comprehensive ser- vice delivery system which will enable persons 55 years of age and older to • remain in their homes and communities as long as it is reasonable for them to do so. To facilitate the delivery of these services, the City's Older Worker program offers the following: (1) Employment: The greatest crisis facing the target population is that of insufficient income. Many older people who are able and willing to work are unable to find employment. (2) Information and.referral programs identify clients, assess, and document client needs, and provides linkage to service providers. (3) A Home Safety Program is part of the counseling. (4) A Crime Prevention Program at educating older citizens throughout the City and area has been given this year, and will be repeated during the coming year. (5) A Geriatric Health Care Program continuously investigates existing services, and works with the City Health Department in determining the needs of the elderly. (6) Provides counseling and guidance that is needed to make the older worker more employable and comfortable with his/her position in life. This also includes helping the older worker with their problems with social se- curity, food stamps, and various other problems that are identified with old age. Problems Encountered The older worker generally earns less than his/her younger working counterpart; therefore, many of the older workers are in the poverty to extreme poverty level. Retirement is a crucial factor which impacts many of the older citizens in a negative manner because they are neither financially nor emotionally pre- pared for this adjustment for varying reasons. Generally speaking the older workers suffer from their lace of preparedness, and level of training for the higher paying unsubsidized positions that are available in today's busi- ness world. According to statistics obtained from the State Area on Aging, 13% of women over 65 years of age work in private households while only 2.9% of the total female work force work in private households. In comparison, only 3.1% • of the older women workers hold clerical positions in relationship to the total female working population. Not only are the older women less occupa- tionally prepared, and have fewer meaningful support opportunities; but in addition, those who do have skills with which to support themselves are often deterred by mandatory retirement. A report on manpower, by the Area Aging Planning Information System, indicates that 50% of the older workers surveyed who had incomes less than $3,000 to $5,000 wanted employment. The older citizens between 60 and 69 composed the largest percentage of those seeking work. 82% of those seeking employment received no pension, 92% had no veterans' benefits, 90% received no public assistance, 94% no SSI, and 39Z did not even receive Social Security. 90% reported that they had debt problems. This indi- cates a desire to work to maintain their livelihood exists for the majority of older citizens. There are very few programs designed to meet needs of the worker over 55. Inflation has added to the plight of the older worker who is attempting to live on social security. High levels of unemployment have drastically re- duced the opportunities for employment for older persons. Some of the older citizens have to learn skills to prepare them for posi- tions other than those previously held. While 65 older workers were serviced during the 1979-80 fiscal year, many others were referred to other agencies. All Title V participants, as well as all those older citizens who were referred to other places, wete counseled. The participants were given other supportive services such as medical exams, glasses, etc. The main idea behind all the goals, or objectives, is for services that will benefit the older worker. The Older Worker Employment Program works closely with the other senior services in the City, the Social Security Office, Texas Employment Commission, the Coastal Bend Council of Governments, and other city, state, and federal offices. Participants are placed at the above offices, and interagency meetings are held. All phases of the Social Security network is used to gain and share information, counseling, subsidized placements or unsubsidized employment. The staff members attend the meetings on aging given by various agencies in the area. Linkages and communications have been excellent, and a continued effort will be made to keep this cooperation in effect with the main goal being to help the older citizen in all endeavors of his/her life, especially in the areas pertaining to work. 1. Goals The goals of the Corpus Christi Older Workers Employment Program are to (1) provide elderly, low-income persons with income; (2) help program partici- pants to regain a sense of involvement within the community; (3) provide oppor- tunities for program participants to acquire new skills and/or upgrade current skills; (4) place program participants into competitive labor force. This year's (1979-80) goal of placement is 30% of the enrollment, which would be 15 placements. (5) provide communities with additional services. 2. Recruitment and Selection a. The subsponsor shall have prime responsibility for establishing recruitment and screening procedures for selection of eligible project applicants. The sub - sponsor shall utilize appropriate local community resources, including local area agency on Aging, and the State Employment Security Agency, for recruitment of project applicants. These recruitment resources shall include referrals from host agencies, door solicitation, distribution or project literature to church groups, enlistment of senior citizen's organizations, use of the mass media. The Project Director or designee shall be responsible for certifying applicants for eligibility and finally referring eligible applicants to participating worksites. The Project Director or designee shall be responsible for providing job descriptions and information on all enrollment vacancies to the State Employment Security Agency. Where feasible, all applicants shall be registered at the Texas Employment Commission Agency since this will maximize their opportunities for eventual unsubsidized placement. b. Each applicant's eligibility shall be established, documented and retained on record. Adequate documentation shall consist of signed and dated application form which attests that the information contained on the application form is true to the best of the applicant's knowledge. This form which is established by the Department of Labor, shall indicate the applicant's age, income, and employ- ment status, as well as other personal characteristics. As per final interview prior to enrollment, the Project Director or designee shall be responsible for administering an Intake Questionnaire to the applicant and eliciting basic in- formation on age, physical capacity, literacy and other personal characteristics. Emphasis shall be placed on the applicant's attitude toward returning to work and in those instances where work is not medically or vocationally feasible • • the applicant shall be referred to the appropriate community resource. c. After intake procedures are completed and an interview conducted, no- tification of acceptance or rejection shall be given to the applicant as promptly as possible. Those individual applicants shall be granted first consideration for selection as outlined by Senior Community Service Employment Program guidelines. 3. Physical Examinations a. Each eligible individual selected for enrollment in the project shall undergo a physical examination prior to taking part in the employment activities under the project. The City of Corpus Christi pays for this service as their in- kind contribution. b. Each individual enrolled shall undergo a phsycial examination no less frequently than once each year while enrolled in the project, which shall also be provided by the City of Corpus Christi. 4. Orientation a. Each individual enrolled in the project shall, as soon as in practicable receive a formal orientation to the project. Such orientation is mandatory and shall provide the new enrollee with information related but not limited to: (1) The nature and objectives of the project; (2) Employment opportunities and work assignments; (3) The goals and objectives of the local subsponsor; (4) Overview of participating worksites; (5) Training available under the project; (6) Supportive services available under the project; (7) Availability of transportation to and from worksites; (8) The responsibilities of enrollees under the project, and; (9) The rights and privileges of enrollees under the project. (10) The process, (channels, forms,personnel) through which enrollees may obtain needed services, training transportation, due process, or other necessities that will enhance enrollees participation in this project. 5. Assessment The Project Director or designee shall be responsible for conducting a • personal interview with each new enrollee to determine the most suitable and available worksite assignment for the enrollee. In this interview the Project Director or designee shall administer an intake form, and an assessment shall be made in consultation with the enrollee to determine the individual's job preferences, work history, skills and aptitude. Every reasonable effort shall be made to decide upon a worksite placement which will be personally rewarding and also provide the individual with an opportunity to make the most effective use of his or her aptitudes and skills. Where feasible, the individual pre- ferences of new applicants for worksite placements will be given first priority. 6. Pre -Job Training a. The project will, as necessary and appropriate, provide enrollees with job-related training prior to and as preparation for their actual placement into productive, part-time community service work under the project. Such training may be delivered through lectures, seminars, classroom instruction, or through other arrangements. To the extent possible, the project will obtain such training services through locally available resources at no cost or reduced cost to the project. b. Such training, combined with orientation, shall not be continued for any individual past the fourth week after the individual's enrollment in the project. c. Time spent by enrollees in such orientation and pre -placement training shall be considered as employment under the project and shall be reimbursed. d. An orientation of worksite agency staff will be conducted prior to the actual placement of enrollees with a new participating agency. The primary purpose of this session shall be to estimate enthusiasm, cooperation, es- tablish goals, and delineate responsibilities. 7. Subsidized Employment The project shall, after a thorough assessment of the individual's skills, aptitudes, and work preferences, place enrollees into subsidized, part-time community service employment positions. Subsidized placements shall be made under the following guidelines: a. In accordance with existing program requirements, priority will be given to work assignments which (1) involve activities delivering services • to the economically disadvantaged. Due to very limited funds for administrative purposes, enrollees will be utilized in work assignments assisting the adminis- tration of the project. Other enrollee work; assignment shall include, but not be limited to: outreach activities; nutrition/extension service work roles; casework; hospital/community health services; escort/visitor services; protective service; homemaker visits; legal assistance; counseling; information/referral services; recreation activities; consumer education; employment services; child care; teacher aides; library services; energy/conservation services; home/repair; and services requiring bilingual skills. 8. Letter of Commitment a. Letter of Commitment will be secured from each participating host agency, specifying that measures will be taken to assure that enrollees receive adequate orientation, instruction and supervision from their host agency supervisor with regard to job responsibilities and duties, as well as job safety. The Project Director or designee shall be responsible for assuring that enrollees receive the job supervision necessary to enable them to perform as productive and effective workers. As a minimum, the Project Director of designee shall make regularly scheduled visits to the enrollee's worksite to determine if host agency supervision is adequate and if the enrollee's job duties and hours are in accordance with project objectives. The Project Director or designee shall also be responsible for conducting periodical consultation sessions with host agency supervisors to determine if there are any problem areas which the sponsor might be able to assist in resolving. Further, the participation of all hosts agencies shall be subject, to the approval of the NCOA, and the City will maintain a job description and it will be submitted to the NCOA national office and all major modifications in the job description will have written approval from the sponsor. Finally, enrollees shall be employed at worksites in or near the communities in which they reside. b. Each enrollee shall be offered an opportunity to work an average of twenty (20) hours weekly. However, some enrollees may work fewer hours per week if this is mutually agreed upon by both the NCOA and the individual enrollee, and also justified in writing to the NCOA Regional Office. Enrollee positions under the project shall provide for no more than 1300 hours of employment (which includes orientation and training) and no enrollee will exceed this maximum number of annual hours. With reference to average enrollee wage rate. 9. Training After Placement a. The project will, as necessary and appropriate, provide enrollees with continued training after they have been placed into productive, part- time community service work under the project. Such training, when it is conducted, shall be concerned mainly with teaching and up -grading job skills so that enrollees are enabled to make the most effective use of their talents and abilities also motivational, inspirational sessions to instill in enrollees the faith and enthusiasm needed to truly make the attainment of each enrollee's goals a reality instead of an impossible dream. It may also be concerned with teaching of job seeking skills in preparation for unsubsidized employment and with providing the enrollees with important consumer information in such areas as Social Security benefits, personal health, nutrition, tax requirements, re- tirement laws and so forth. Such training may be delivered through lectures, seminars, classroom instruction or through other arrangements. The Older Worker Program will arrange, where feasible, for program enrollees to complete their basic education or be exposed to job-related educational training by enrolling in courses conducted by local Adult Education or Community College institutions. The project will, to the extent possible, obtain such training services through locally available resources at no cost or reduced cost to the project. b. Such training shall be conducted during normal working hours or in lieu of normal working hours. Time spent by enrollees in such training shall be reimbursed at the individual's established rate of pay. Reimbursement for any individual engaged in such training will be limited to 20% of the total enrollee man hours to be worked during the grant period. c. Regular meetings, on a periodical basis will be held with project enrollees to provide continuous in-service training and dissemination of information as well as discussion of the project's progress. 10. Enrollee Supportive Services a. The project will provide job-related and personal counseling to enrollees designed to solve the problems encountered by the enrollee which might hamper successful participation in the project. Such counseling shall • • be offered freely to enrollees and shall, as a minimum, provide knowledgeable referral assistance to capable service agencies. 11. Unsubsidized Placement a. General. The NCOA shall share responsiblities for development of plans to place enrollees into unsubsidized employment in public and private sector jobs, thereby creating opportunities for additional persons to enroll in and benefit from the project. In order to facilitate this placement, the Older Worker Program, will develop a job development record for all active enrollees and plan a minimal unsubsidized placement of at least 30% of the authorized enrollee positions. b. Unsubsidized Employment Plans. The subsponsor's unsubsidized employment plans shall include, but not be limited to: (1) Seeking the assistance of the local office of the State Employment Security Agency in identifying suitable unsubsidized job openings and other forms of job-related assistance the agency is capable of providing; and assuring that all enrollees are put on the active job register of the State Employment Security Agency.

The immediate supervisor has the responsibility to receive or hear any formal or informal grievance submitted by an employee under his or her supervision. The aggrieved employee must submit the grievance through the proper levels of super- vision within that division or department.

Every effort should be made by the immediate supervisor to resolve or effectively respond within a reasonable time to all grievances properly submitted.as provided in this instruction. If the employee's question or complaint is not responded to satisfactorily or remains disputed, the employee may proceed to present it in . writing to the proper division head noting the time, place, and nature of the complaint. When necessary the supervisor or division head may furnish assistance to the employee in preparing this written statement. C. The division head concerned shall review the employee's grievance and consider all supervisory.efforts to resolve it.
