Section 131.14 - Submission of proposalsThe proposed budget will be submitted on a form provided by the Department. Allowable administrative costs for any contractor applying for Program funds shall not exceed 10% of the total Program allocation being requested. Considered under administrative costs are project administration, recruitment, counselling services, supervision, job development, placement and any fringe benefits for staff or consulting services.
(1) Recruitment shall not be considered for funding under this program. Rather, it should be done through either local, private tax-exempt organizations, or organized neighborhood groups who are identified as working with eligible applicants. The local Bureau of Employment Security office should also be considered in the recruitment process.(2) If remedial education is needed, effort shall be made to utilize programs of the Public School System or funding under the Manpower Development and Training Act (42 U.S.C.A. § 2571 et seq.) or 2508.3 funds for the Program for Industrial Training (24 P. S. § 24-2508.3) through the school district. If this is not possible, reasons should be given by the District itself in the proposal.(3) Counselling services include the appraisal of the trainees' interests, aptitude, abilities, personal characteristics. This also includes assisting the trainee through not only the scheduled counselling but the extra sessions which are most important as he tries to relate to the requirements and opportunities of this new field of work.(4) Job development refers to the process of developing new training-related positions where no known openings exist.(5) Referral and placement include processes whereby a trainee is assisted and placed into meaningful employment upon completion of the training period with the sponsor or elsewhere in the area's community.(6) Follow up is the method by which the progress of a trainee is measured and assistance is provided him as required after placement.
