Request for Quotes - Career Service Expansion: Pandemic Workforce Network

Partner4Work (P4W) is issuing this Request for Quotes (RFQ) to identify multiple neighborhood-based organizations interested in becoming part of a pandemic workforce network to provide referral pathways for job seekers to access PA CareerLink® career services. Organizations eligible to participate in the network must have existing programming providing direct services to residents of Allegheny County outside of the City of Pittsburgh. Organizations need not provide workforce development services, but must have an existing network of clients who are interested in working and will be ready to work within a reasonable time of enrollment in PA CareerLink® Career Services Expansion programming. 

Respondents to this RFQ should have a considerable outreach structure in place to be able to ensure that a steady stream of job seekers are available to enroll in PA CareerLink® services. To the extent possible, network organizations may host PA CareerLink® staff on-site to provide career services to clients, allow for walk-ins from their surrounding community, invite PA CareerLink® to promote services at special events and deliver targeted information regarding employment and training opportunities, enriching the services and programming already provided by the organization. The implementation of the network will serve to safely expand access to PA CareerLink employment services to meet increased employment needs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. PA  

Interested and qualified parties are invited to submit an application form (including required attachments) at any time to RFP@partner4work.org using the template provided on the Partner4Work webpage for this RFQ. Applications will be accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis until Friday, July 1, 2022 at 11:59 PM EST.
