Client is looking for a
technical project manager
to support and identify the technical, business, and financial requirements for implementing and maintaining a Massachusetts SCSEP technology software integration with [what system?]. The goal of such integration is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of SCSEP enrollment, case management, training and ultimately placement into permanent employment.
EOEA now directly oversees all day-to-day SCSEP activity, having recently transitioned the management of its Senior Community Service Employment Program (MA-SCSEP) from three community organizations contracting with EOEA to provide SCSEP services. Encompassing a person-centered approach in which each consumer engages with SCSEP through a single-entry point, this model requires paperless transactions by each enrollee for payroll, ongoing updated data entry, and document uploading for annual eligibility confirmation resulting in federally mandated reporting analysis. A secure private material storage for medical profiles, social security information, state and federal individual immigration status are some of the required materials for each enrollee file. Currently, there is no software system that compiles required program eligibility documentation for individual enrollees. Physical storage for documents is not available long term. Data storage of enrollee information is processed through a few systems that do not communicate through interfacing.
POSITION OBJECTIVES:
Presently, EOEA support staff work with enrollees to gather pertinent documents that need to be signed, scanned and uploaded for official record retention to ensure that enrollee goals are documented and available for revision. Interactive data entry, uploading of eligibility documents, and validation in the Grantee Performance Management System (GPMS) does not provide the type of user-friendly interaction that is needed. For example, GPMS is not capable of attaching documents to each enrollee record. The system case note fields are limited in character and do not allow extended notation per enrollee record. There is also a need for seamless online processing of enrollees that will match them to employment agencies according to their profile. Data storage, interfacing with other systems, and backup data storage is the goal for enrollee record management. Technology portal processing of enrollees is vital to implementing the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act 2024-2028 State Plan initiatives that ensures privacy, online and on-site outreach activities to all potential consumers.
The success of improving the fragmented technology systems currently available to the SCSEP staff requires SCSEP to procure a technology project manager to review and make recommendations in the following areas:
Assess MA-SCSEP current software systems.Gather information on existing state technologies that are used with similar interfacing.Develop approach to Integrate SCSEP's current data entry processing with Massachusetts One Stop Employment System (MOSES)
