Commission Agenda Item
ENCLOSURES: September 23, 1997
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution
authorizing the acquisition of microcomputers and related peripherals and software, from
various vendors, under existing State of Florida Contracts (250-040-96-1, 973-502-97-1
and 252-001-97-1) and Metropolitan Dade County Contracts (1059-2/98-OTR-CW and
1941-2/96-OTR-CW) for the Neighborhood Jobs Program at a proposed amount of
$150,000. Funding is available from various grant sources, JTPA, WAGES Coalition
and CDBG Contract Year 23.
BACKGROUND
The Neighborhood Jobs Program has been awarded State funds to operate an
Employment ServicesNocational Training Program through the South Florida
Employment and Training Consortium (SFETC) and the WAGES Coalition, Region 23,
Dade and Monroe Counties, Department of Children and Families, to provide
employment and training assistance to City of Miami residents who have been impacted
by the new welfare reform legislation in the State of Florida. The total annual projected
service level is in excess of 1,000 individuals.
A condition of the aforementioned contracts includes the provision to establish
Employment Transition Centers to be fully equipped and staffed for client assessment, in-
take, counseling, supportive services referral, remedial training, vocational training,
career exploration and labor market assistance, job development, job search, job
placement and follow-up. The Employment Transition Centers will be located in the
Little Havana, Model City and Allapattah-Wynwood areas.
A major component in providing these services will be the Computer Based Information
Labs at each of the three Employment Transition Centers. Twenty (20) computers at
each location will comprise an Internet Labor Market Information Lab. Software
programs will provide City residents complete occupational information and job market
information, as well as job readiness and job retention information. Residents will be able

to research both practical, and theoretical information on those occupations of interest.
They can assess
job readiness data such as writing a resume, filling out application forms and knowing
how to prepare for a job interview, as well as learning computer application skills and
remedial skills. They will be able to access information on available jobs in the Greater
Miami area in both the public and private sectors. Each of the Labs will be staffed by an
Employment Service Workshop Coordinator and a Client Service Aide to insure that the
resident has total access and tutorial assistance.
In order to provide these Computer Based Information Labs, it is respectfully requested
that the City Commission authorize the acquisition of Microcomputers and related
peripherals and software, from various vendors under the State of Florida Contract and
the Metropolitan Dade County Contracts.
The estimated cost for this request is $150,000. Funding is available through the above
referenced grants.
There are no City General Funds required for this acquisition.
