Orange County Conservation Corps and Youthbuild Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board Request for Proposal The Youth Service Provider Network PY 2005/2006 • OCCC will refer those not hired by the OCCC to the WORK Center for services. Describe how the participant 11ow will occur. Please refer to Describe the overall services that will be made available to the WIA participant above and the "Corpsmember Flow Chart" provided as an attachment to the proposal. Both of these describe how pazticipant flow will occur. Generally there are 4 phases to OCCC's program and the corpsmember flow normally is: • Work school; Corpsmembers spend the majority of their time working and going to school. This may last from 3 months to 24 months depending on the number of high school credits needed for graduation. • Life Skills/ Transition: Once corpsmembers earn their high school diploma or if they have a diploma at the time of hire they enter the Life Skills and Transition phase of the OCCC. Corpsmembers normally spend 3-6 months completing a variety of activities designed to help them become self sufficient, find employment and/or enroll in post-secondary instruction. • Program Completion: Once all program components have been completed, the corpsmember has 30 days to exit the program into work and/or school with help and support from staff. This time maybe extended based on individual needs. • Follow-up: minimum of 12 months follow up support from staff to remain employed and stay in school; contact at least monthly if not more frequent to monitor and revise 12 month follow up plan; Not all corpsmembers complete all four phases as some choose to leave for a job or school and enter the follow up phase as soon as they earn their high school diploma. All corpsmembers regardless of their reason for leaving the OCCC are included in the 12 month follow up phase and have access to OCCC staff and resources {computer lab, fax, voicemail) for maintaining employment, job searches, updating resumes, contacting employers, scheduling interviews, enrolling in advanced training or college, help with filling out financial aide forms, and other support needed to pursue post-000C employment and education Many program services overlap and occur simultaneously during the program. OCCC staff are cross trained so that corpsmembers can receive services from various program staff if their assigned staff person is not available.
