Orange RPU 2023 Biennial Modification to PY 2021-24 Regional Plan <br /> <br />24 <br /> <br />Building Greater Understanding of the Region’s Priority Sectors: Frontline staff at <br />America’s Job Centers of California (AJCCs), which are administered by the three local <br />workforce development boards in Orange County, have a working understanding of the <br />four regional target sectors, as do the staff of many of the local workforce system partners. <br />As a result of the training that will be provided in connection with the selected regional <br />indicator, knowledge among staff regarding these key industries will not only be increased <br />but also a greater shared understanding of the sectors among the system partners. <br /> <br />Development of Specific Sector Strategies: As measures established for the regional <br />indicator require performance in terms of training and placement, the local boards will <br />work together to develop specific strategies for recruiting new workers for each of the <br />region’s priority sectors. <br /> <br />Increased Collaboration with Training Providers: To meet the workforce needs for specific <br />occupations with the four target industries, local workforce boards and other partners will <br />collaborate more closely with community colleges, adult schools, and training providers <br />to ensure that courses are available to address businesses’ needs for trained employees <br />and that curricula reflects industry input. <br /> <br />Improving the Framework for Information Sharing: As a core objective for the selected <br />indicator is to communicate information from businesses to supply-side partners, <br />structured protocols will be developed for sharing information through direct messaging <br />and web-based postings. These efforts will provide a model for information sharing across <br />the many organizations comprising Orange County’s workforce development delivery <br />system. <br /> <br />Strengthening Messaging to Businesses: Adopting the selected regional indicator will <br />require the local boards and system partners to develop strong, consistent messaging <br />around the specific strategies and services available to businesses to meet their talent <br />sourcing and training needs. <br />EXHIBIT 1
