a partnership with the Fullerton Arboretum on the campus of California State University Fullerton <br />and local social enterprise Monkey Business Cafe, which benefits foster youth, called "Farm to <br />Table." Corpsmembers work both on the arboretum's farm and at the cafe, developing a strong <br />connection between where food grows and the process involved in delivering it to the table. <br />OCCC crews provide recycling services to many companies and businesses, including Downtown <br />Disney. We have Corpsmembers working at a number of CVS Pharmacies throughout Orange <br />County, giving them experience in the field of healthcare. Corpsmembers have also worked at <br />the Santa Ana One Stop Center, exposing them to a variety of career opportunities. <br />Additionally, we have partnered with Vital Link services that provide hands-on career exploration <br />experiences for youth, helping them carve out their own unique career path. Trips and tours to <br />local businesses help youth sort through their interests, get excited, and "try on" a career for a <br />day. <br />Corpsmembers and students have many opportunities to hear from employers, to attend job <br />fairs and participate in career exploration workshops. Corpsmembers participating in on-the-job <br />training receive feedback and evaluations from their employers and supervisors regularly. <br />7. Preparation for Post -secondary Education and Training <br />A. WIOA only accepts certifications that are accredited by a State recognized educational <br />entity or are recognized by employers. <br />The Education Corps is a fully accredited c h a r t e r school recognized by the State of California. <br />This collaborative allows the Target Population, for In -School Youth and Out -of -School Youth in <br />need of educational services, to earn high school credits that count toward a high school <br />diploma, build skills to pass the California High School Exit Exam, and increase <br />Literacy/Numeracy Skills. <br />B. Special consideration for organizations that offer preparation for postsecondary education <br />and training in high -demand industries. <br />WIOA Corpsmembers research jobs on 0*NET to obtain expected job growth, wages and <br />educational requirements. Subsequently, depending on the training that is needed, <br />Corpsmembers are referred to ROP, Community Colleges, Apprenticeship Programs and <br />Technical Schools. Additionally, presenters are scheduled from a variety of high -demand <br />industries including green jobs, medical careers, etc. <br />C. Identify and/or develop a pathway for youth that can lead them from high school to <br />career or college. Please elaborate on specific pathways. <br />Training and education will assist youth in obtaining employment because the youth will learn <br />how to work and go the school.
