    Scott French outlines the anticipated changes in future program models and RFPs for career services, based on lessons learned from previous contracts and client feedback.

    • Shift from 27 individual contracts to 9 contracts with a 'one door' model to reduce referrals and improve engagement
    • Implementation of a 'whole person' approach in assessments, focusing on long-term success rather than quick job attachment
    • Introduction of a hybrid service delivery model, combining in-person and online interactions to mirror current workforce environments
    • Greater emphasis on understanding clients' full experiences, interests, and potential gaps in skills or education
    • Focus on creating a foundation and 'home base' for individuals in the career services program, with providers responsible for developing partnerships and employment opportunities
