percent of the participants will receive a training certificate from an industry and/or a <br />recognized provider. The customer satisfaction outcomes will equal 70 percent or higher <br />for both the youth and their employers. Approximately 60 youth will be served in two <br />service cycles, <br /> <br />1.1. Main Purpose of the Program <br /> The purpose of Fuetzas Unidas is that of expanding the life opportunities for Iow- <br />income, out-of-school youth in Santa Ana by simultaneously addressing the numerous <br />risk factors that can prevent them from forming and maintaining a long-term relationship <br />with the labor market. Through the use of comprehensive guidance and counseling, <br />adult mentoring, supportive services, leadership development opportunities, tutoring, <br />and employment readiness training, La Familia will renorm the youth regarding the labor <br />market while simultaneously linking the youth to employment training. La Familia will <br />also link 99 percent of the youth to jobs after the completion of their training. <br /> <br /> The accomplishments of the program will be directly measured by the degree to <br />which each WIA goal is met. More specifically, La Familia's goal is that of ensuring that <br />70 percent or more of the youth are trained and placed in employment that pays $8.00 <br />or more per hour by their completion of the six-month program, with a one-year follow- <br />up. However, the adult mentoring component will last for one year. The ratio of adult <br />interaction to WlA participants for the structured workshops will be one (1) adult to every <br />15 youth. The mentoring program will have a ratio of two adults to four youth. The WIA <br />participant will have adult interaction with La Familia's staff at least six times per week. <br />Interaction with mentors will occur at least twice per month. <br /> <br />!.2.
