Section XVI-109 - Submission and Review Procedure

A. Applicants must submit their completed application to LDOL. Submitted applications will be reviewed and evaluated by LDOL staff. All applications will be measured using a rating system as an evaluation tool that will enable LDOL staff to determine which applications should receive approval, be deferred to future funding cycles, or be denied outright. Input may be required from the applicant, other divisions of the Department of Labor, and other state agencies as needed, in order to:

1. understand the labor market conditions the proposed training is seeking to mitigate;

2. evaluate the strategic importance of the proposed training to the economic well-being of the state and local communities;

3. determine whether the employer's specific needs are best met by training;

4. identify the availability of existing training programs which could be adapted to meet the employer's needs;

5. identify the resources the business can provide to support the training, including trainers, facilities, materials and equipment;

6. identify or develop appropriate curricula; and

7. determine the most cost effective approach to meet the employer's training needs.

B. If any applicant is submitting an application in conjunction with a private training provider, the applicant may be required to submit a cost/price/performance analysis on a form provided by LDOL at the time the application is submitted.

1. Upon determination that an application meets the eligibility criteria for this program and is deemed to be beneficial to the well-being of the state, LDOL staff will then make a recommendation to the secretary. The application will then be reviewed by and is subject to the approval of the secretary.

2. A copy of the application shall be sent to the executive director of the Louisiana Workforce Commission.

3. The secretary will issue a letter of commitment to the applicant within five working days of approving the application.
