With the Interview Archive, youth will be able to hear directly from a broad range <br /> of leaders who can describe what skills, education and/or training they needed to succeed and how they <br /> navigated challenges to attain success. The RTN Experience offers participating youth the opportunity to <br /> conduct their own interview with leaders in their field of interest. Youth will be trained on how to share <br /> their insights and create a Roadtrip Profile. <br /> The SAWC and Roadtrip Nation staff will work together to build and provide a range of support activities <br /> to maintain youth engagement. Roadtrip Nation will host a series of training sessions to provide the <br /> Service Navigator and other administrators with on-the-ground implementation information. In addition <br /> to the up-front training, Roadtrip Nation will also provide ongoing technology and administrative support <br /> to help drive fidelity throughout the term of the implementation. The signature Roadtrip Nation RV will <br /> visit a targeted site to further drive youth engagement. In essence, the RTN Experience gives youth the <br /> tools to embark on a journey of self-discovery. It is built around three overarching themes, Exposure, <br /> Self-Construction, and Hit the Road, the curriculum guides youth in exploring options, discovering their <br /> interests, setting goals and mapping out a plan for success. Hearing directly from successful individuals <br /> who have followed their dreams and navigated challenges to attain success in wildly diverse fields will <br /> provide the youth a map for getting to the next stage in their own lives. Moreover, the combination of an <br /> Interview Archive, the real world experiential learning and reflective exercises will provide youth with <br /> unprecedented exposure to pathways that are relevant to their individual hope and dreams. <br /> JOB DEVELOPMENT & PLACEMENT <br /> The SAWC has a comprehensive realm of services available through its partnership with local businesses <br /> and organization. The SAWC is an integral part of the City's Economic Development Division that also <br /> manages the Enterprise Zone Programs. The Enterprise Zone program is designed to promote business <br /> growth and job generation by offering State tax credits and highly valuable economic incentives to <br /> businesses. Many of our Santa Ana residents including youth qualify for these tax credits. <br /> <br /> It is through our experience, expertise, and partnerships with businesses and community partners, we are <br /> able to provide the community with quality job placement assistance and offer connections to a strong <br /> labor market. The SAWC will offer assistance and guidance in job placement by notifying Service <br /> Providers and youth of job opportunities, employer on-site hiring recruitments, and job fairs. SAWC will <br /> notify Service Providers daily via electronic mail and/or flyers regarding job announcements. The Youth <br /> Help Desk will also be available to assist youth looking for employment by providing them with job <br /> search assistance, job opening, resume assistance, labor market information and demand occupations. <br /> In addition the SAWC utilizes a robust job matching software to post local job openings, upload resumes, <br /> and automatically match job seekers to the openings that fit their interests, skills, and availability. As an <br /> added value, youth that are job ready will have their resume uploaded by the Navigator staff into the job <br /> matching software to assist in placing them with local companies. <br /> Furthermore, the SAWC integrated one-stop service system and various partners including EDD, allows <br /> more individual assistance for our older youth to find employment. Workshops on resume writing and <br /> interviewing techniques are just a few of the added components to help them find employment. <br /> <br /> PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT <br /> The SAWC, through its extensive experience in administering Federal and State funded programs, <br /> understands that WIA performance management is vital to the success of the YSPN.
