EXHIBIT C veterans to behavioral health resources. In 2019, the Career Success Institute served 2,010 clients, with 1,026 (51 %) of clients obtaining employment as a result of our program. The LEAP 2 program required us to serve women under the AB-109 population that were medium to high risk to re -offend and no more than 90 days away from release. Following this program, we expanded our workshops with the "All In" program to include men who were soon to be released. Pre -Release Services We propose a workforce readiness program that includes pre-release services. This program will offer support and workforce readiness services for participants pre-release as well as post - release. a. Recruitment and Intake Working Wardrobes will work directly with the Orange County Sheriff's Department to identify eligible men and women for the program. Working Wardrobes will support the Orange County Sheriff's Department in their selection process. Prior to enrollment into the program, the inmate services team adrnhusters an in-house assessment utilizing questions from the Wisconsin Risk Needs assessment to determine risk to re -offend. This assists in identifying eligible participants. The OC Sheriff s Department will create a cohort of participants and set up classroom space to offer pre-release workshops and services for eight weeks. At the initial meeting, Working Wardrobes will cover expectations and qualifications for the program. Each participant will complete an intake form documenting their personal information and any other required demographics for the program. To ensure we meet the enrollment requirement of 105 individuals, we will over -enroll participants to account for attrition. b. AssessnrerrtandServicePtanaing Working Wardrobes will offer a variety of career assessments including True Colors, O*Net Online and a career inventory to identify interest and skillsets. The Career Navigators will meet bi-weekly, unless otherwise agreed upon with each participant, to work on their post - release and individualized employment plan. Both plans will outline their goals and steps for success after release. Working Wardrobes and the Orange County Sheriff's Department will connect with other collaborative agencies for a weekly case management meeting. This meeting will provide the opportunity to discuss issues regarding clients including updates on those who will be and have been recently released.
