However, the OCCC WIA Coordinator will make every <br />attempt to involve parents in the program to determine participant needs, eligibility, <br />program success, and seek parent input into program design. OCCC will use a variety <br />of methods to gain parent involvement including phone calls, appointments, home visits, <br />surveys, recognition ceremonies and other activities that will include and promote <br />family/parent involvement. <br /> <br />Placement in Jobs or Continuing Education <br />As Corpsmembers near completion of OCCC participation, OCCC will assist with <br />employment search, referral and placement.
