<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />training. OCCC proposes to continue this program matching youth council funds with <br />OCCC grant funds. <br /> <br />Cms will lean and perform the "Big 6," required daily of city employees for each city <br />park, and will complete more specialized workllearn project work. The Big 6 includes: 1) <br />insuring proper display of the American flag, and that the flag is up and in good repair; <br />2) check of all parks for safety hazards; 3) check of all parks for graffiti; 4) <br />restroom/facility maintenance; 5) trash and litter abatement; and 6) sandlot/playground <br />maintenance. Other specialized work/learn park projects include landscaping, grounds <br />maintenance and repair, trail maintenance, weed abatement, erosion and flood <br />mitigation, stream restoration, and, irrigation system installation, repair, and <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />Cms assigned to these crews will learn the job skills needed for entry-level park <br />maintenance positions for the City of Santa Ana. The occupational skills learned and <br />demonstrated in this program will be transferable to other similar positions with cities or <br />private companies in the county. Cms assigned to these crews will be scheduled to <br />work 32 hours each week in the community to improve city parks. <br /> <br />12. OCCC Interns -Ten (10) Santa Ana youth will be enrolled as OCCC cms and will <br />serve internships with local employers. This is a new program being developed by <br />OCCC for FY 2002/03. <br /> <br />The OCCC Transition Specialist will place selected Santa Ana youth, either current <br />OCCC cms or youth referred by TSJ or the Work Center, in paid internships. OCCC is <br />currently networking with local employers who have shown an interest in establishing <br />internships. Internships will be paid and may last up to six months. OCCC Interns will <br />be scheduled to work 32 hours each week at the employer's site and participate 4-8 <br />hours each week in the OCCC education component based on their individual <br />education needs. Partnering employers will be responsible for supervision and training <br />of the intern with the goal of hiring the intern once the internship has been completed. <br />Currently, the internship program as proposed is fully funded with Youth Council funds. <br />OCCC will seek matching funds and/or donations from partnering employers to offset <br />costs of the internships. The matching funds or donations received will then be used to <br />establish additional internship positions for this program. <br /> <br />3. OCCC Construction Skills Training - In partnership with TSJ, OCCC will train and <br />employ 20 Santa Ana youth in carpentry and construction skills. OCCC and TSJ will <br />collaborate to recruit and train Santa Ana youth for this project. TSJ will provide the <br />initial 12 weeks of classroom instruction, which includes hands-on training to <br />demonstrate and reinforce the various construction skills learned in the classroom. <br />Youth who successfully complete the 12-week TSJ course, will be hired by the OCCC <br />for further construction skills training and development. <br /> <br />OCCC has received a 2002 CA EDD Community and Faith-Based Initiative Grant for <br />construction skills training. OCCC will use this grant as a match to provide employment <br />and continued skills development for Santa Ana cms. No Youth Council funds will be <br />used for this training component. TSJ will provide matching funds for the initial 12 <br />weeks of training and OCCC will use grant funding as a match to hire and employ the <br />Santa Ana cms for this program. <br /> <br />11 <br />
