If class if full and more qualified individuals have applied, they will be placed on a waiting list and given first priority to the next course offered. All students who enroll in one or more CT courses as a part of the MoHealthWins grant will be required to enroll in Toolbox 2.0. You will be required to come to campus for an orientation day to complete this process and turn in necessary paperwork. Participant Guidance: MoHealthWins is required to serve a target population which includes Trade Adjustment Assistance eligible participants, unemployed participants, underemployed participants and low skilled participants. There is flexibility to include a broad spectrum of individuals (as participants) from varied socioeconomic backgrounds for training purposes.
Target Populations MoHealthWins training programs must give priority for training to the following target population participants: Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) An individual who has lost their job, through no fault of their own (due to lack of work), as a result of foreign trade. State merit staff (DOLR & DWD) administers this program and determines individual Trade eligibility. Unemployed An individual who has been terminated or laid off, or has received a notice of termination or layoff; employed at a facility at which the employer has made a general announcement the facility will close within 180 days; self-employed (including employment as a farmer, a rancher, or a fisherman) but unemployed as a result of general economic conditions or natural disasters; and a displaced homemaker. Underemployed An individual who is working part-time but desires full time employment, or is working in employment not commensurate with the individual s demonstrated level of educational and/or skill achievement. The local Workforce Investment Board negotiated average earnings target wage should be referenced to aid in eligibility determination. Low-Skilled An individual will be required to demonstrate college readiness for placement into college level coursework, (typically coursework numbered 100 level or above) as defined in the chart below. Individuals scoring below the designated cut-off score for any area will be defined as Low- Skilled for the purposes of MoHealthWins eligibility. All MoHealthWins participants will be assessed through the use of WorkKeys/NCRC assessment in each of the following areas: Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information. Individuals scoring below a level 5 for any NCRC/WorkKeys area will be defined as Low-Skilled for the purposes of MoHealthWins eligibility. Other Grant Participant Specifications Veterans Priority The Jobs for Veterans Act (Pub. L. 107-288) requires priority of service to veterans and spouses of certain veterans for the receipt of employment, training, and placement services in any job training program directly funded, in whole or in part, by DOL. The regulations implementing this priority of service can be found at 20 CFR part1010. In circumstances where a grant recipient must choose between two qualified candidates for training or a service, one of whom is a veteran or eligible spouse, the Veterans Priority of Service provisions require that the grant recipient give the veteran or eligible spouse priority of service by admitting him or her into the training program or providing service. To obtain priority of service a veteran or spouse must meet the program s eligibility requirements. Grantees must comply with DOL guidance on veterans priority.
The community colleges have all agreed to a set of common cut-off scores. Such cut-off scores should serve as the starting point for the definition of "Low Skilled" for credit seeking participants. An entering student who is deficient in one or more areas will be defined as "Low Skilled". Missouri Community College Readiness Standards Missouri community colleges have developed a common standard for college readiness. All Missouri community college students will be required to demonstrate college readiness for placement into college level coursework (typically coursework numbered 100 level or above) as defined in the chart below using ACT scores as noted. Concordant scores in other placement tests, as indicated below, may also be used for students who do not present an ACT score. Point considered when determining common placement scores included: The adopted college readiness standard must be based on research and best practice. The standard must align with other placement testing tools. Consideration should be given to the approach other states took in adopting a statewide standard. In its review of ACT based college readiness materials and publications, and in consultation with ACT staff and researchers, community colleges believe these common core standards will promote student success, provide access to college and support student learning. These changes began in the Fall of 2011. The new testing scores are as follows: ACT COMPASS ASSET SAT Writing 18 70 41 Critical Reading 450 Reading 18 81 41 Critical Reading 460 Mathematics 23 Interm Test 66 23 Math 460 Scores below these standards will result in development coursework.
