Can the One-Stop-Operator be FTE, embedded at WFC, while also providing program management to other workforce development programs at an organization? If an organization operates on a 4-day, 32-hour work week, would that conflict with the FTE requirements of this grant?
The One-Stop Operator must be a single person dedicated to the role at 1.0 FTE and must have a full-time, in-person presence at the WorkSource Pierce One-Stop Center during its regular Monday – Friday operating hours. The entity selected for the One-Stop Operator contract must ensure these requirements are met and sustained and prevent any real or potentially perceived conflicts of interest.
