Explanation of Modification: This modification requests an extension of project closing date from
December 31, 1995 to May 31, 1996, in expansion of the population served to include recent Unisys
Shepard Road and Roseville facility dislocations, as part of a continual downsizing. A request to expand
our services to these workers includes an increase in funding and an increase of basic readjustment
services, due to the age and length of employment with the Unisys Corporafron oftnis aifected
workforce.
SECTION II. JUSTIFICATION FOR MODIFICATION
A modification of the existing project is necessary due to the recent dislocations from both the Shepard
road and Roseville facilities. With the current project designed to serve one-hundred (100) participants
and recent dislocations of nearly two-hundred (200) workers in )anuary, the ability to provide quality re-
employment services necessitates an increase of funding to adequately meet this groups' needs, and
extend the project to maximize program participation.
The participants aiready enrolled have shared two characteristics which significantly impact their re-
employment opportunities, that being age and length of emplovment at Unisys. Surveys conducted for
one-hundred-forty-three (143) Unisys workers in January sho�vs similar traits, which through our work
with the current oarticipants, indicates a greater length of time required in the development of individual
service plans, counseling and job seeking skills acquisition. The Employee-Management Committee
(EMC) that has been meeting regularly since March, 1994, has requested a greater emphasis be put into
financial planning seminars and one-tmone financial counseling, along with ongoing job seeking skills
workshops. Program counselors have substantiated the EMC's request as reffective of the workforce as a
whole and on an individual basis. The EMC is current!y composed of affected workers from previous
dislocations, as well as the January lay-offs.
The EMC has also directed the project into focusing on the individual counseling component, with less
emphasis in supportive services. Program counselors have had some difficulty in identifying supportive
service needs, due in part to severance packages, age of the workforce, and the large percentage of two
income famities being represented in this project. The need for child care and heafth cRre has not been
accessed to any significant degree due to these factors. A greater emphasis in basic readjustment
�(s - S3 �

JUSTIFICATION FOR MODIFICATION (CONT'D)
services without impacting the identified long-term retraining needs, along with underutilization of
supportive services, represents a strong justification to increase These services and modify support to a
more realistic funding amount.
This modification addresses the needs of this recently dislocated workforce through the continuity of
EMC involvement, experience with this workforce, and a projection of enrolfinent that is based on
survey results and the numbers that have begun accessing our seroices. We are confident that with an
increased enrollment and resources to meet service delivery needs, this project will enhance re-
employment opportunities for this impacted group of dislocated workers.
