Following are some of the strategies and assessments the oeee will use: <br /> <br />1. OCCC Interview and Intake Form (used with Santa Ana WIA intake form): <br />participant personal background and prior work history; oeee form used during <br />interview(s) to assist with determining suitability for WIA program, work <br />readiness, employability, occupational skills, potential individual case <br />management needs, and suitability for oeee's programs; <br />2. TABE Test: standardized tests to assess basic skills; determine grade level <br />equivalents; track literacy and numeracy gains; required by oeee charter <br />school; <br />3. Practice CAHSEE (California High School Exit Exam) Test: practice tests to <br />monitor progress towards meeting high school exit criteria, monitor academic <br />progress, literacy, and numeracy gains; required by oeee charter school; <br />4. Skills Tutor. online program which allows students to self tutor and improve math <br />and reading levels; <br />5. COPS/COPES/CAPS: career exploration, interests, and aptitudes; nationally <br />recognized career interest tests; <br />6. Individual Education Plan; oeee form for education goals/plan; required by <br />oeee charter school; <br />7. Individual Service Learning Plan (WIA Individual Service Strategy); <br />work/personal goal setting; used to address individual supportive service and <br />developmental needs; required for oeee certification; <br />8. Eclecon Value Activity: used to determine participants values, skills, and career <br />interest. <br />9. Surveys/formal and informal interview; surveys, formal and informal interviews, <br />meetings, and conversations with corpsmembers to identify appropriate services. <br /> <br />The oeee uses these and other informal activities to determine assets youth possess. <br />oeee staff uses the interview process to initially determine an applicant's individual <br />eligibility and suitability for working at the oeee and for the various programs offered <br />by the oeee. oeec staff may use several interviews to determine an individual's prior <br />work history, work readiness, employability, and suitability for one of oeee's work/learn <br />programs. Once an applicant has been identified as a potential WIA participant, staff <br />will interview and discuss the WIA program and expectations to determine suitability for <br />the WIA program. If determined as a suitable placement, staff will begin to gather the <br />needed documentation for WIA eligibility. Once approved and enrolled into the WIA <br />program, the participant working with ocec staff will develop an Individual Education <br />Plan and an Individual Service Learning Plan (WIA Individual Service Strategy) based <br />on standardized test scores, personal interview, individual needs and goals, and sample <br />work. Those youth not WIA eligible may be hired to work on other non-WIA oeee work <br />projects. <br /> <br />How will services aid in meetina the WIA performance aoals? <br />As an employer, the oeee program design teaches youth how to work and go to <br />school. The occe follows all applicable labor and charter school laws, regulations, <br /> <br />Page 10 of 23 <br />
