Describe how training and employment services lead to occupations in high growth/high <br />demand industries. <br />FYLP will not offer a job training component. However, FYLP staff will offer job, <br />career, and educational resources (see list under Question #4 below) that may lead our <br />clients toward occupations in high grown/high demand industries, which may include <br />STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and green-collar careers (i.e. <br />environmental engineer, solar panel installer, science teacher, environmental attorney, <br />pollution control engineer, green construction worker, energy efficiency consultant, etc.). <br />Our staff will offer these opportunities to clients during the goal planning process and as <br />opportunities arise during the program year and follow-up year. For example, if a client <br />is interested in the medical industry, which is a high growth/high demand industry, we <br />may refer them to American Career College (ACC). ACC offers educational programs <br />for those interested in the healthcare field. ACC also works in partnership with the <br />Orangewood Children's Foundation as a Guardian Scholar school, which provides <br />scholarships and on-campus support to foster youth. We are also well connected to the <br />Guardian Scholar Programs at 8 of the 9 Community College campuses in Orange <br />County as well as the local public and private universities. <br />Also, if a youth is interested in solar panel installation, we may refer them to the Taller <br />San Jose/Orange County Conservation Corps. Solar Panel Installation Certificate <br />Program. During the 2009/2010 program year, we sent 9 former foster youth to the Santa <br />Ana WEB and Orange County WIB Green Jobs Program Orientation. Out of those youth, <br />7 were either current or former FYLP clients and of those, five were current 2009/2010 <br />program participants. 4 youth were successfully enrolled (2 2009/2010 FYLP clients) in <br />subsidized employment through either the Santa Ana WEB or Orange County WEB Green <br />Jobs Programs. OCF's partnerships with other agencies, educational institutions, <br />employers, internal programs, other Santa Ana WEB Youth Operators, and our youth are <br />important for participant success and we will leverage those resources to fulfill this <br />objective. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />OCF/Foster Youth Liaison Project 9
