OCCC will refer those not hired by the OCCC to the WORK Center for services. <br /> <br />Describe how the participant flow will occur. <br />Please refer to Describe the overall services thai will be made available 10 the J+7A <br />participant above and the "Corpsmember Flow Chart" provided as an attachment to the <br />proposal. Both of these describe how participant flow will occur. Generally there are 4 <br />phases to OCCC's program and the corpsmember flow normally is: <br />. Work/school; Corpsmembers spend the majority of their time working and going <br />to school. This may last from 3 months to 24 months depending on the number of <br />high school credits needed for graduation. <br />. Life Skills/ Transition Once corpsmembers earn their high school diploma or if <br />they have a dip 10ma at the time of hire they enter the Life Skills and Transition <br />phase of the OCCc. Corpsmembers normally spend 3-6 months completing a <br />variety of activities designed to help them become self sufficient, find <br />employment and/or enroll in post-secondary instruction. <br />. Program Completion: Once all program components have been completed, the <br />corpsmember has 30 days to exit the program into work and/or school with help <br />and support from staff. This time may be extended based on individual needs. <br />. Follow-up: minimum of 12 months follow up support from staff to remain <br />employed and stay in school; contact at least monthly ifnot more frequent to <br />monitor and revise 12 month follow up plan; <br /> <br />Not all corpsmembers complete all four phases as some choose to leave for a job or <br />school and enter the follow up phase as soon as they earn their high school diploma. All <br />corpsmembers regardless of their reason for leaving the OCCC are included in the 12 <br />month follow up phase and have access to OCCC staff and resources (computer lab, fax, <br />voicemail) for maintaining employment, job searches, updating resumes, contacting <br />employers, scheduling interviews, enrolling in advanced training or college, help with <br />filling out financial aide forms, and other support needed to pursue post-OCCC <br />employment and education <br /> <br />Many program services overlap and occur simultaneously during the program. OCCC <br />staff are cross trained so that corpsmembers can receive services from various program <br />staff if their assigned staff person is not available.
