Our 17 new Kaiser employees in West Central Missouri were all smiles for the opening. Kaiser President Wyatt Pope was present, and in his words "I am very pleased and excited about our Missouri Project." _____________________________________________________________________________________  Youth Computer Camp - Kansas In Kansas Local Area III, Kaiser Group, the WIA Youth Program provider, created a unique summer opportunity for 54 out-of-school, unemployed youth ages 18-21. Kaiser issued an RFP to local training providers and ultimately selected Johnson County Community College as the winning proposer. The proposal was a collaborative effort with Kansas City Kansas Community College. The month-long computer camp was held six hours a day during the month of June offering an opportunity to learn how to assemble computers from new component parts. The course also taught appropriate workplace behavior skills and other soft skills topics. The goal of the training was to work with young people from the three-county area who had either a high school diploma or GED and had the goal of obtaining employment. During the camp, the youth learned business writing skills and developed request for proposals to be issued to service providing, non-profit agencies interested in receiving the newly assembled hardware, at no cost. The students evaluated the proposals, selected the agencies and awarded the computers as part of the graduation ceremony. Of the 54 youth beginning the training, 53 completed and were awarded certificates, a 98.1% completion rate! To date, 74% of the youth have been placed in unsubsidized employment. The camp was featured on the KSMO-TV segment, “Your Kansas City” and in the Leavenworth Times and the JCCC Imprint Magazine.  _____________________________________________________________________________________ Strategic Econometric Return Analysis (SERA) SERA is a tool for consulting with Workforce Regions on the direction of training based on strategic decisions of Individual Training Account (ITA) investments.
