2022-23 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center <br />Youth Employment Program - WIOA Proposal <br />The case manager and career counselor helps youth with employment, and the educational <br />counselor helps youth with entering post-secondary education. The career counselor will assess <br />all youth using ONET to learn about their career preference, interests and skills, and then match <br />them with carriers of their choice. Youth will then be able to obtain assistance in researching <br />different majors, vocational training and certificate programs that will allow them to enter into <br />post-secondary education in their field of interest. The Educational Counselor will also provide <br />assistance to youth in completing all necessary registration and financial aid, scholarships and <br />any important forms to minimize any stress and anxiety on registration or financial burdens. <br />E.How will your organization expose youth to the various post-secondary educational <br />institutions (colleges, universities, vocational training schools, apprenticeships, etc.). All year <br />round, the WIOA youth and staff attend field trips to the various colleges and universities so <br />they can get motivated and encouraged to enroll in any of these institutions with the help of <br />the case manager and the career and educational counselors at OCCTAC. <br />F.Describe the certificates that youth will be able to earn while in your program or within 1 year <br />after exit.
