Tutoring, study skills training, and instruction leading to completion of secondary <br />school, including drop-out strategies; <br />. Alternative secondary school services; <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 (Le. substance abuse, <br />legal, medical, family) <br /> <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 /> <br />Indicate planned outcomes. <br />The OCCC wili meet or exceed established \/I/IA outcomes as follows: <br /> <br />Current WIA Planned Outcomes <br /> <br />Population Ages # Performance % # <br /> Measurements <br />Out-of-School Youth 17-18 10 Skill Attainment 84.5 9 <br /> Attainment of 67.0 7 <br /> Diploma/Equivalent <br /> Retention 69.7 7 <br />Out-of-School Youth 19-21 10 Entered Emplovment 72.4 8 <br /> Retention 78.4 8 <br /> Earnings Gain $3,622 <br /> Credential 39.0 4 <br /> <br />The OCCC's program design allows for participants to meet and exceed planned <br />expected outcomes. All participants enrolled will have an opportunity to receive class <br />room tutoring to improve basic reading and math skill levels if found to be basic skills <br />deficient. During this time participants without a high school diploma will be enrolled <br />into school to obtain their high school diploma. Once participants have graduated from <br />the OCCC John Muir Charter School, they will be enrolled in the OCCC transition class <br />to explore future employment, career and educational opportunities. This class will <br />allow participants to advance into post-secondary training and or higher earning <br />employment. The OCCC will provide follow-up services to ensure participants are <br />working towards higher employment earnings and employment retention. <br /> <br />Describe the basic proqram approach.
