RESEA Training - Questions and Answers~2.docx

This document is an Amendment 1 Q&A response from the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) addressing vendor questions regarding the Re-Employment Services and Eligibility Assessment (RESEA) Training procurement (RFP 26-427DES-BUSSR-B-48855). The procurement seeks to improve the quality of employment services through RESEA training delivery. IDES estimates a maximum of 37.5 hours of training for RESEA staff and a maximum of 75 hours for train-the-trainer instruction, with the final scope and duration to be determined collaboratively with the selected vendor. The agency is open to self-paced, on-demand training content in addition to in-person instruction. IDES will not require the vendor to provide printing of training materials and supplies for in-person trainings.

IDES currently uses OneNet, a learning management system operated by Illinois Central Management Services, to track compliance training. The selected vendor will need to integrate with or work within this existing system for training delivery and tracking purposes. This amendment addresses fundamental operational questions to clarify vendor responsibilities and the training delivery environment, enabling prospective bidders to develop accurate proposals aligned with IDES's current infrastructure and expectations.
