20 C.F.R. § 632.17 Planning process.
Title 20 - Employees' Benefits
(a) Each Native American grantee shall establish a planning process for the development of its Master Plan and Comprehensive Annual Plan. This planning process shall involve consideration of the need for job training and employment services, appropriate means of providing needed services and methods of monitoring and assessing the services provided. Recognizing the importance of employer involvement in designing and implementing programs, each Native American grantee shall involve employers in program planning. (b) (1) Each Native American grantee's planning process shall involve consultation with major employers or organizations representing employers inside the grantee's designated service or surrounding labor market area. Such consultation shall include consideration of the opportunities for placement of program participants and the design of training activities and related services. (2) A description of the procedures used for this consultation shall be included in the grantee's Master Plan. The results of the consultation shall be described in the grantee's Comprehensive Annual Plan. (3) Native American grantees are encouraged to establish or to use existing formal advisory councils, such as Private Industry Councils, as vehicles for such consultation. Grantees are also encouraged to use all appropriate mechanisms, including Tribal Employment Rights Offices (TEROs), to insure maximum opportunity for the placement of participants in unsubsidized employment. (4) A Native American grantee will not be held responsible for the refusal of any employer or organization representing employers to engage in the consultation process described in this section. (c) In addition to the requirement in paragraph (b) of this section, the planning process shall provide the opportunity for the involvement of the client community, service providers (such as appropriate community-based organizations) and educational agencies, tribal agencies or other Indian and Native American organizations whose programs are relevant to the provision of job training services within the grantee's service area.
