Following a successful year in employment, outreach specialists contact the participants annually. Section IV —Performance Objectives IV.1. Performance Goals Matrix The plan for the current VEAP project is to serve 130 participants, 60 of whom will be disabled and at least 39 will have a documented service connected disability of 60% or higher, and 32 will have a documented service connected disability. Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Counselors are co -located in the Tierney Center and referrals are seamless and efficient for the disabled veterans being served. Eighty-four will be employed at the 2nd quarter after exit, 80 will be employed within 4 quarters after exit. Although all milestones regarding barriers were surpassed in our last VEAP contract, we plan to serve at least five homeless, 10 offenders, 30 recently separated, 25 low income and 60 disabled veterans. IV.2. Obiectives Measurement and Effectiveness Locai economic analysis of inaustry sectors for Manutacturing, Havancea Manufacturing and Business/Professional Services predict growth for both industries. The analysis of Orange County veterans found that 17% of the Orange County veterans hold managerial and professional occupations compared to 10.8% of veterans at the national level (County of Orange, OC Community Services, 2017). Project goals will be measured in real-time through CaIJOBS and WarriorServe. When measuring in real- time, in addition to looking at employment outcomes, we will determine training -related employment in the targeted industries and occupations. We will also survey employers regularly to ensure that that we are training veterans in the skillsets necessary for today's workforce. WarriorServe is a case coordination platform in which the veteran or family member is assigned a case number and an employment specialist/case manager to assist in connecting the participant with necessary services and supports. Community partners are able to enter and review cases through the partner portal to WarriorServe resulting in efficient case management and coordination. Constant updates through EDD and AJCC and Local Area partners and LMI data will also assist in tracking progress toward goals. Impact on the local economy is tracked through wages and wage differentials. One employment specialist who is able to find training and employment for 60 veterans in one year with an average wage of $26.00 an hour will have an economic impact of $3,244,800 on our local economy.
