Enhancements
The
members of America's Job Link Alliance have made and are discussing enhancements/applications
to their systems.
Recent Enhancements:
O*NET:
O*NET is a powerful tool that allows skill-based job matching that state
workforce agencies can have implemented
into their systems.
UI
Features: Members of the America's Job Link Alliance believed that the UI
system and the labor exchange system needed to be more fully integrated.
With that in mind, Kansas recently implemented the following applications:
Claimant
Resources
- Initial
Claims (Allow UI claimants to file initial claims over the Internet)
- Continued
Claims (Allow UI claimants to file continued claims over the Internet)
- Links
to Job Listings (Provide claimants with links to specific job opportunities
for which they qualify)
Employer
Resources
- Tax
Functions (Employers are able to go online to conduct their tax
functions)
Enhancement Opportunities being Researched:
Reporting:
America's Job Link Alliance members want to enhance the reporting function of their systems to allow for local reports that are not required by law but that are helpful to manage One-Stop Career Centers. They also believeit is critical to have reports on providers in order to adequately manage One-Stops service delivery systems and develop continuous improvement programs.
Fiscal Management: America's Job Link Alliance members are working together to develop a full service WIA, Welfare to Work and TAA fiscal management module that will roll up local area budgets, obligations, and expenditures into a state level management system.
Work
Opportunity Tax Credit: America's Job Link Alliance members believe
that it is cumbersome and difficult for employers to file for tax credits
such as the Work Opportunity Tax Credit. An online application process
is needed to streamline the process.
Alliance members in consultation
with the USDOL will set enhancement priorities.
