Marcia Gaedcke joined the meeting.
At the board retreat in February 2012, goals and strategies will be reexamined and modified, based on input from staff, board and committee members. Discussion ensued about recommendations gathered to date from these populations.

Greg Weiner seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.

Information Items:
This committee requested an information break down of certification retakes. Data was provided. The committee requested that staff follow-up with chambers for business sponsorships to assist with student retakes. It was also suggested to add Brevard Public Schools to the committee (a.k.a. Erika McLaren or Janise Scholz) so that questions could be asked as to why so many failed, what are the prep strategies being used for the re-takes, etc.
Measure 1C: Cape Strategic Plan - Update
A workshop hosted by BW entitled “Building Central Florida’s Regional Innovation Clusters” was held. Regionerate consultants, who facilitated the meeting, prepared a preliminary report which revealed emerging market opportunities identified on the Space Coast. This report was shared with the committee.
Measure 5A: Roundtable on Building Regional Clusters
In July 2011, BW kicked off BizLaunch which was a gathering specifically aimed at entrepreneurs and small business startups. In November, BW attended the Department of Labor’s Region 3 Business Services Summit and presented on a variety of best practices, including the Small Business Partnerships which contains a new additional component, Entrepreneurial Work Experience (EWE).
Measure 5C: Small Business Partnerships - BizLaunch
The Jobs & Innovation Accelerator Challenge Grant is a $2,148,198 combined grant and is part of a new strategy being used by the Federal partners (Economic Development Administration (EDA), USDOL Employment and Training Administration (ETA) and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to focus on the Clean Energy cluster jobs. The Space Coast Clean Energy Jobs Accelerator (CEJA) is a comprehensive and coordinated project designed to elevate, integrate and accelerate the development of the Space Coast Clean Energy Cluster that has emerged in East Central Florida. Information and project objectives were reviewed.

Information Brief
Measure 5B: Entrepreneurial Work Experience Updates
Entrepreneurial Work Experience is an opportunity being offered to former aerospace workers and those secondarily affected by the layoff. The program places an aspiring entrepreneur in an established small business to learn from a successful entrepreneur. The opportunity is 10 weeks long for 36 hours a week (4 hours off on Wednesday mornings to attend BizLaunch). 8 of those 36 hours each week is to be used for entrepreneur mentorship. Participants will learn about every aspect of running a small business including (but not limited to): finance, operations, marketing and HR. Participants are compensated for their time and work through the JTRI earmark. Business participants benefit by having a no-cost, high skilled additional employee for 10 weeks.
Background:
There are currently eight individuals participating in EWEs with seven businesses in Brevard County. Engaged businesses are: Genesis 7, Home Builders and Contractors Association of Brevard, SeaWatch Technologies; Thomas Fulmer Company Inc., Creative Management Technologies, Petty’s Meat Market, and Florida Sports and Spinal Rehab.

Action Brief
Proposed Measure 5D: Strengthen Business Customer Relationships
Brevard Workforce is currently implementing its Business to Jobs (B2J) model of service delivery. B2J is a reformed service delivery approach that expands the focus of the traditional workforce development system to include employers and businesses as primary clients alongside workers. Due to this shift in focus, it is imperative to involve our Business Liaisons as key business development and customer relations staff.
Background:
Staff recommends adding a measure to the E3C strategic plan under strategy 5 – Strengthen the economic development factor in the E3 concept. This measure will include a quarterly progress report. The measure is proposed as follows:
Recommendation
Measure 5D – Strengthen Business Customer Relationships. The following are the proposed activities to be tracked under Measure 5D:
1. Business Liaisons will engage businesses in BW events. Possible events include:
hosting an industry roundtable/focus group to address a common need or challenge, engaging a business in a ‘Q&A’ type forum with community and/or Center staff to better understand their workforce needs or challenges, or engaging a business in a ‘Q&A’ type forum with jobseekers to better understand their required skill sets, scope of work, potential employment opportunities, etc.
2. Business Recruiting Events held at the Career Centers 3. BW Hosted Job Fairs
Approve, modify or decline recommendation for addition of measure 5D to the E3C strategic plan.

Discussion Brief
2012 RFP – One-Stop Career Center Operations and Management
The EBackground
3 Committee provides oversight and policy recommendations on education, employment and economic development policy and has provided oversight of our local youth activities, and providers. Members of the E3 Committee include, but are not limited to, representatives of education, service agencies, housing and individuals that have experience relating to youth activities. Under WIA Title I, Section 117, a Youth Council should be established as a subgroup within the Local Board. In the past the E3 Committee has served as the Youth Council but has not formalized a subgroup and specifically noticed the meeting of the Youth Council under the auspices of the E3 Committee. This can be easily remedied by posting notice of the Council convening directly following the regularly scheduled Committee meeting or including Youth Council business on the Committee Agenda as a specific line item in the future. E3
Committee Members would continue to provide input, oversight, and recommendations on youth activities and providers however the discussion would be conveyed at the time scheduled for the Youth Council. Voting Council members will be comprised of active BW board of director members of the Committee.
In keeping with the segregation of duties of the Youth Council, it should be noted that the responsibilities of the Council include, but are not limited to, recommending eligible providers of youth activities to be awarded grants or contracts on a competitive basis by the local board to carry out youth activities. Every five years the Board solicits proposals from qualified organizations to provide delivery of a broad range of federally mandated one-stop workforce services that includes services to youth in the region. The last procurement of these services was in 2007. In the past, various workforce services were provided by multiple contractors. However, in 2009, the Board opted to bring all the one-stop services, including youth services, under one contractor and created a truly seamless delivery of services. With the approval of the Brevard Workforce Operations Committee, staff will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to deliver Adult and Youth program services through a single contractor on or about March 31, 2012. Selection and recommendations of the Rating Team to the Board of Directors would be made in time for the regular meeting scheduled June 1, 2012.
13 of 15
Discussion
Staff is requesting recommendations of eligible providers to include on our bidders list and is also seeking volunteers that have experience related to youth to participate on the Rating Team.
