Orange County Conservation Corps and Youthbuild <br />Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board <br />Request for Proposal <br />The Youth Service Provider Network <br />PY 2005/2006 <br />• Paid and unpaid work experience; <br />• Occupational skill training; <br />• Leadership development opportunities; <br />• Supportive services; <br />• Adult mentoring; <br />• Follow up services for a minimum of 12 months after completion; <br />• Referrals for comprehensive guidance and counseling (i.e. substance abuse, legal, <br />medical, family) <br />The OCCC is an open entry and open exit, year round program that normally takes 6 <br />months to a year to complete. While youth may be hired during the summer, the OCCC <br />does not technically offer the remaining WIA element — summer employment <br />opportunities. <br />Indicate planned outcomes. <br />The OCCC will meet or exceed established WIA outcomes as follows: <br />Current WIA Planned Outcomes <br />Population <br />Ages <br />I # <br />Performance <br />Measurements <br />% <br /># <br />Out -of -School Youth <br />19-21 <br />23 <br />Entered Employment <br />66% <br />16 <br />Retention Rate <br />77% <br />18 <br />Earnings Gain <br />$3,500 <br />Credential Rate <br />30% <br />7 <br />Customer Satisfaction <br />70% <br />17 <br />The OCCC's program design does have the flexibility and ability to meet the intent of <br />current proposed legislation to reauthorize WIA and the expected changes to regulations, <br />outcomes, and measures once new legislation is finalized. The OCCC will be able to <br />make adjustments as needed to meet the Common Measures as proposed in legislation to <br />reauthorize WIA. <br />Proposed Common Measures (exact outcome measures have not been set by the State) <br />• Placement in Employment or Education <br />• Attainment of a Degree or Certificate <br />• Literacy and Numeracy Gains <br />Specific outcomes for the Common Measures will be developed once the final measures <br />have been finalized. <br />Describe the basic program approach. (workshop/classroom/in the community) <br />The OCCC is a transitional work/school program that combines work and school daily, in <br />a structured, supervised 40 hour a week program. OCCC corpsmembers are normally <br />scheduled to work for 32 paid hours a week and attend 8 hours of education unpaid each <br />week. Corpsmembers work 8 hours (paid) a day Monday — Thursday. They attend <br />education (unpaid) for one hour after work Monday -Thursday and for 4 hours on Friday. <br />Page 5 of 22 <br />
