Vermont Department of Labor reposted this
Bloom Works is pleased to announce two new partnerships to improve state-level unemployment insurance (UI) systems. This year, we’ve been working with the Indiana Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the Vermont Department of Labor (VDOL) to help modernize state UI systems for equity and accessibility. Both projects are funded through the U.S. Department of Labor UI Equity grants, which provide funding for states to reduce accessibility issues marginalized communities encounter and improve the user experience for all people interacting with UI systems. In Indiana, Bloom has partnered with Resultant to engage with Indiana DWD to ensure equitable access to UI benefits, with a focus on historically underserved populations. Key achievements in the Indiana project's first phase include: - Assessed and prioritized over 600 documents and 150 website pages - Revised 14 critical documents into plain language - Surveyed DWD staff and claimants - Developed detailed claimant and employer journey maps We look forward to continuing to support Indiana DWD by establishing a sustainable plain-language methodology and identifying areas for streamlining communication with stakeholders. Bloom was also awarded a two-year contract with the Vermont Department of Labor. This project encompasses: - Conducting an equity audit of the state's UI system - Analyzing resident interactions with the system - Providing recommendations for implementing necessary changes - Embedding with Vermont's portal modernization team to promote equity, accessibility, and usability Since May 2022, we’ve also been partnering with Nava and the New Jersey Department of Labor to modernize its unemployment insurance system. We're proud to be involved in improving such an important aspect of the social safety net in these states.

🎉Congratulations to the three apprentices who recently graduated from the inaugural class of the Associated Builders and Contractors VT/NH Chapter and ReSOURCE's new Commercial Craft Apprenticeship Program! 🛠️Trenten Mead, Carpenter Apprentice with ReArch Company, shared, "Completing this construction apprenticeship program has taught me proper technique and skills crucial for success in my career. Furthermore, I gained a deeper appreciation for teamwork and the thorough process necessary for completing a successful project. I’m eager to apply what I’ve learned and be a greater asset in the field. This graduation is just the beginning of the meticulous process of mastering carpentry.” 🛠️Josh Reap, President & CEO of ABC, added, "The State of Vermont is a great partner in helping employers build programs like this, which skill new hires and upskill incumbent employees. With their help, we are changing lives more and more for the better. The second class of apprentices currently numbers nearly two dozen individuals and they will graduate next year. As the program continues to grow, so do the opportunities for careers in a great industry.” ✉️Contact us: [email protected].
