REP <br />focuses on individuals who need immediate employment. The goal of REP is to offer job services and <br />capture employment opportunities for participants who are prepared to secure employment immediately. <br />Our Job Developer meets individually with participants to assess their current ability and skill level. The <br />Job Developer then works with the REP participant to determine the best course of action for the <br />individual to secure and maintain employment. Action steps might include writing a resume, honing <br />interviewing skills, etc. Once employed, we offer evening classes that focus on emotional intelligence <br />training, which builds problem solving, goal setting, conflict resolution and team building. These are skills <br />required to maintain employment and advance to higher paying job opportunities when they arise. <br />summary rceport <br />Amount requested from Indian River County for 2018/2019: $10,710.00 <br />Total Proposed Program budget for 2018/2019: $100,326.60 <br />Percent of total Program budget: 11% <br />Current Funding (2017/2018) $10,200.00 <br />Dollar increase / (decrease) in request: $510.00 <br />Percent increase / decrease in request: 5% <br />IT request Increasea 5-/o or more, i) <br />N/A <br />The Organization's Board of Directors has approved this application fi (Ei t December 22, 2017 <br />Barbara Lowry — , <br />Name of President/Chair of the Board Sign t re <br />Annabel Robertson <br />Name of Exec.
