<br />Orange County Conservation Corps <br />Santa Ana Workforce Investment Board <br />Request for Proposal <br />The Youth Service Provider Network <br />PY 2007/2008 <br /> <br />based, using demonstrations, lectures, packets, guest speakers, and individual <br />research. <br /> <br />Will the participant receive a certificate of completion or accomplishment for <br />participation? Will the certificate count for WIA credential attainment? <br />OCCC corpsmembers may receive several certificates of completion or accomplishment <br />for participation as follows: <br />. California high school diploma; <br />. AmeriCorps Education Award (scholarship); <br />. Toastmasters Certificate (public speaking and leadership development); <br />. Forklift, Chainsaw, Red Cross CPR/First Aide Certifications; <br />. Corpsmember Bonus Plan awards a certificate plus a cash bonus. <br /> <br />A high school diploma is a state recognized certificate that can count in the WIA <br />credential rate. Other certificates come internally from the OCCC and are not state <br />recognized. A CPR/First Aide or Forklift certification can count as a credential if <br />participant chooses to use this credential as a condition to employment elsewhere. <br />Both certifications come in the form of a state recognized license which can count in <br />WIA credential rate. <br /> <br />How will continuous improvement be measured? <br />The OCCC is committed to continuous improvement and uses the following strategies <br />and activities for continuous improvement: <br /> <br />. Corpsmember satisfaction surveys at least twice a year; <br />. Corpsmember community meetings that involve all staff and corpsmembers; <br />.
