Goals /Objectives and Performance Levels The primary purpose of TSJ Tech is to provide a means of survival and self - support to out -of- school youth through structured on the job training and work experience. Over the course of the next year, TSJ Tech will recruit 100 young adults — 50% of whom will qualify as WIA out -of- school youth. This will be accomplished through active recruitment, interviewing, assessment, and effective job- training. Although the Taller San Jose program offers all 10 WIA Elements /Services, the student apprentices taking part in job - training and work experience through TSJ Tech will receive services concentrating on WIA Elements 3 -10. Required WIA Outcome Goals for older youth meet outcomes already established by TSJ Tech training, placement, and follow -up programming. Unlike many other community -based organizations, Taller San Jose actively recruits students through community outreach. Our records show that 65% of all students are referred by either current or past participants of Taller San Jose programs. Referrals to Taller San Jose are also generated through the school system, churches, community organizations, and the probation department. Youth who meet the minimum requirements for enrollment will take part in an interview and assessment prior to taking part in job- training at TSJ Tech. Assessment materials used to identify the basic math skill deficiencies of each student are the same assessment used by Santa Ana College (SAC) for their adult education programs. Program math components are adjusted to meet the student apprentices math needs as determined by the assessment. Enrollment activities begin one month prior to the course start date. This is followed by 12 -14 weeks of intensive job - training. Student apprentices who successfully complete their job- training at TSJ Tech receive certification proving proficiency as an apprentice in the curriculum areas outlined above. As an organization, Taller San Jose is distinguished by program refinement and continuous improvement. Through an established evaluation method, the following data is collected to measure program effectiveness:
