12 <br />V. Budge <br />The development of a holistic approach to the provision of employment and training services for <br />jobseekers and employers is innovative and necessary in this changing work environment. There <br />are start-up costs associated with the opening of the Skills Development Center. The attached <br />budget identifies sources of revenue and expenses (Appendix IV, Budget Summary). One major <br />source of revenue is an implementation grant awarded by the Workforce Development Commission <br />for JobLink Centers. <br />The design of the Center requires a full -time Administrative Assistant position. This position is <br />critical to the successful operation of the Center. Key responsibilities for this position are <br />welcoming customers to the facility, routing customers for services, tracking usage, coordinating <br />volunteers, and serving as a liaison between the Center and other county offices. <br />An automated system that enables partners to communicate electronically and have access to <br />customer files is required. Funds are needed to develop a local area network system, equip offices <br />for DSS, visiting agencies, conference rooms and the Career Resource Room. DTCC, JOCCA, <br />ESC, and OCLC will furnish and equip their respective offices. <br />Custodial services have not been addressed in the budgeted amount for the Skills Development <br />Center. Security measures will be discussed with DTCC. <br />
