Both of these describe how participant flow will occur. <br />Generally there are 4 phases to OCCC's program and the corpsmember flow normally <br />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 <br />of high school credits needed for graduation. <br />. Life Skills/ Transition: Once corpsmembers earn their high school diploma or if <br />they have a diploma 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 if not 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.
