In 2008, the CWIB asked One -Stop <br />Employment Centers in California to pilot a new service model designed to employ job seekers <br />and increase their chances of retaining those jobs. The WORK Center was one of 12 One -Stop <br />employment centers across the State of California to adopt the new model. <br />On February 7, 2011, Cal State Northridge (CSUN) staff on behalf of the CWIB conducted an <br />onsite study of Santa Ana WORK Center services. Specifically, the CWIB measured the impact of <br />the WORK Center service model in order to compare it to others statewide. City staff assisted in <br />the gathering of data on the service model impact including volume and type of services delivered, <br />customer satisfaction, activity based cost accounting and federal outcomes. The CWIB will <br />reimburse the WORK Center for the staff time needed to prepare and collect the needed data. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Upon approval of the appropriation adjustment, funds will be available in the One Stop Program <br />account (no. 12318751). <br />41UN <br />
