RFP - PDF
Posted: December 31, 2008
Proposals accepted: on an ongoing basis
As the number of unemployed workers grow, RochesterWorks! seeks to expand the delivery of services through the use of technology and at physical venues throughout the community. This Request for Applications (RFA) seeks to source self-employed workforce development consultants and trainers who have the skills and experience to provide job search preparation workshops on behalf of RochesterWorks! to dislocated workers “virtually” (with the use of technology) and in-person at community-based facilities throughout the County of Monroe and City of Rochester as well as at businesses that may be downsizing.
These workshops could be offered in the evening or weekends as well as during the day and are in addition to those currently being offered at RochesterWorks! Career Centers at 276 Waring Road and 255 North Goodman Street. Workshop facilitators would utilize curriculum and materials developed by RochesterWorks! A list of workshops currently being offered to job seekers can be found at the RochesterWorks! website(http://www.rochesterworks.org/js_workshops.aspx.) Most workshops are 1.5 to 2 hours in length and cover traditional career and job search topics such as career exploration, resume preparation, interviewing skills, job search correspondence, networking, and change management.
Applications will be evaluated based on training experience, demonstrated expertise in workshop topics, cost reasonableness, outcomes associated with past training, and potential demand for proposed workshops. Successful applicants will be placed on a list for delivery of workshops as needed in the future.
