EXHIBIT 2 <br /> • Transition Assistance: Connecting participants with job leads and internships to ensure a <br /> smooth transition from education to employment. <br /> • Connection to WIOA-Approved Certification/Training: Working with the Career <br /> Navigatorto connect youth to WIOA-approved certification/skills-training providers for <br /> further education and training opportunities, as well as providing an average of$800 for <br /> tuition to cover these programs. <br /> E. As part of the program, participants will receive support in identifying an industry or career <br /> path of interest and will work with their Career Navigator to find relevant WIOA-approved skill- <br /> based training opportunities for enrollment.The Career Navigator will collaborate with the <br /> WIOA Service Navigator to confirm pre-approved certification programs.This will include but <br /> not limited to certifications like, Clinical &Administrative Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant, <br /> Truck Driving Certification, CompTia+ Certification. Each youth will have an average of$800 <br /> allocated within the program budget to cover certification costs. If the cost of the program <br /> exceeds the budgeted amount, Working Wardrobes will partner with WIOA to explore <br /> additional funding opportunities to cover the difference including scholarships and Pell Grants. <br /> Participants may enroll in and earn certificates during the program while gaining paid hands-on <br /> experience aligned with their interests and strengths, with some potentially enrolling in <br /> additional training following the conclusion of their paid work experience. <br /> F. Research supports that the industries to be targeted by the program are among the fastest- <br /> growing in the U.S. with strongjob prospects: <br /> • Healthcare: Expected to add 2.4 million jobs by 2029 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2021). <br /> • IT: Demand for skilled workers expected to grow by 11% from 2019 to 2029 (Bureau of <br /> Labor Statistics). <br /> • Manufacturing:Advanced manufacturing and automation are driving demand for skilled <br /> workers. <br /> • Hospitality&Tourism: Offering robust opportunities, especially in customer service, <br /> management, and logistics roles. <br /> G. Letters of Intent from training agencies are not applicable, as the program will refer <br /> participants to training programs but will not formally partner with them. <br /> 8.Tutoring <br /> For youth who are identified as basic skills deficient (scoring 8.9 or below on the TABE or CASAS <br /> assessments), the Rebuilding Careers for Young Adults program will refer them to tutoring or <br /> remedial training services as required by WIOA guidelines. Specifically, the program will <br /> connect youth to the North Orange Continuing Education (NOCE) Basic Skills& Learning Center, <br /> which offers academic support, including free tutoring in reading, writing, and math. NOCE's <br /> services are well-suited to meet the needs of youth seeking to improve their foundational skills <br /> in preparation for career training and post-secondary education. <br />
