11 services will be given to recipients of public assistance, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic skills deficient, as outlined in WSD15-14 - WIOA Adult Program Priority of Service. The adult and dislocated worker employment and training activities offered through the AJCC One-Stop system is a comprehensive array of employment services that includes career workshops, classroom training, on-the-job training, and transitional job opportunities. The following is a more detailed description of the program’s services that are offered through local boards: • Comprehensive Employment Services: Career counseling and tools for job search preparation include training referrals, job listings, resume preparation assistance, interview workshops, access to on-site employer recruitments, and labor market information. • Career Pathway Programs: Career pathway programs have a clear sequence, or pathway, of education coursework and may include stackable training credentials aligned with employer-validated work readiness standards and skills. AJCCs offers programs that include a full range of post-secondary education options that may involve attending programs at local adult education, community colleges, and private educational institutions. As appropriate for the individual, Career pathway programs combine occupational skills training with adult education services, give credit for prior learning, and adopt other strategies that accelerate the participant’s educational and career advancement. • On-the-Job Training Program: Each of the One-Stop career centers offers on-the-job training (OJT) for job seekers whose occupational interests or learning styles are best suited to work-based learning. The OJT program is a work-based learning program where the company provides training based on their specific needs. • Collaboration with Apprenticeship Programs: Santiago Canyon Community College (SCC) is one of the leading community colleges in Orange County that offers apprenticeship and journeyman training in various trades. The local boards make referrals to SCC for apprenticeship programs. The local councils plan to work closer with SCC to explore additional partnership opportunities for pre-apprenticeship programs. The local boards have policies and adhere to the requirements of priority of service. Priority is given to veterans (and spouses), recipients of public assistance, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic skills deficient. Priority of service is established during intake and eligibility. AJCC operators’ staff have been trained on the priority of service requirements, and the priority status is documented in CalJOBS. AJCC partners are informed of the local board priority of service policy, and they assist in referring individuals that meet the priority of service criteria. 2CV.
