experience will run for approximately 20 weeks and will culminate in successful interns receiving a Digital <br />Media Technology Pre-Production and Digital Media Technician certificate. Upon completion of their Digital <br />Media Technology certification requirements, 16 student interns will be given the opportunity to continue their <br />work-experience in the form of employment in 12 hours per week Digital Media Technology Apprenticeships. <br />As apprentices they will continue to enhance their production skills and will work on developing and producing <br />additional television programming on green living, nature, history, current events, literacy, music, arts and <br />sciences, along additional health and fitness programs (please refer to attachment #6 for projected program <br />topics and shows). The apprenticeship will be a 12 week program and upon successful completion of <br />designated program goals, which will be outlined in the program timeline section of this narrative, participants <br />will receive a Digital Media Technology Apprentice certificate from RSCCD Corporate Training Institute. As <br />part of their paid work experience, all participants will blog weekly about their internship experiences and <br />progress in a "Seeds to Trees Academy" website (littp://'www.seedstotreesacademy.com/) and will upload their <br />digital media creations in a "Seeds to Trees Spotlight" blogsite (http://www.seedstotree5a)p liLL it.coin/). Interns <br />will also upload their videos on our "Santa Ana Public Library" YouTube channel <br />(http:/hvNvNNyouutube.com/user/SantaAnaLibrar ) , and join our agency Facebook page <br />htti)://www.facebook.colTi/SantaAliaPRCSA). <br />Vocational Training and Certification in Digital Media Technology (RSCCD-CTUDMC): Student interns <br />will receive introductory and intermediate level training in the following areas: 1) Video Production, 2) Graphic <br />Design, 3) Digital Music Production, 4) Web Design, 5) Script-writing and 6) Marketing (refer to attachment <br />#7A for a curriculum syllabus). Interns will attend these digital media technology classes for 4 hours a week for <br />18 weeks. The successful completion of this portion of the in-class training and concurrent on-the-job training <br />will result in RSCCD-CTI awarding interns certificates in Digital Media Technology Pre-Production. Student <br />interns then will be able to specialize and receive additional training in Web Design, Video Production, or <br />Digital Music Video Production. Interns will attend these specialty training sessions for 4 hours a week for 10 <br />weeks. The successful completion of this portion of the in-class and on-the job training will culminate in <br />RSCCD-CTI awarding interns certificates in their respective Digital Media Technology specialties. Student <br />interns who continue to work as Apprentices will receive instruction in marketing and be required to attend a <br />two- hour per week, two month long intensive marketing course towards the end of their apprenticeship in order <br />to receive their Digital Media Technology Apprentice certification from RSCCD Corporate Training Institute. <br />During the course of their coursework all interns will also develop a personalized Digital Media Portfolio that <br />they can utilize when applying for jobs, to colleges, and in advertizing their skills if they choose to pursue a <br />freelance career (see attachment #713 for certificate requirement checklist). <br />Educational Support (Santa Ana Public Library): The Santa Ana Public Library currently runs an after- <br />school tutoring program in its Central Library and Newhope Learning Centers as well as in its Central library <br />and Jerome TeenSpace programs. At TeenSpace the mission is to increase the scholastic skills of our patrons in <br />an effort to turn them into the conscientious citizens that our community so badly needs. We foster the <br />development of critical thinking skills through our various academic programs, which include Reading Buddy, a <br />weekend class that pairs elementary students with teen mentors, and the GED Completion program, which helps <br />high school dropouts prepare for the GED examination and sometimes reroutes them into a non-traditional <br />diploma-granting programs (attachment #8). We increase fluency, reading comprehension, vocabulary <br />development, and the overall love for reading by employing culturally relevant pedagogical techniques and <br />active teaching strategies to scaffold for all of our students. A research-based program called Read Naturally is <br />used to identify the shortcomings of our students before we design a custom program for their success. <br />Similarly, our mathematics tutoring program is tailor made to meet the specific needs of students in a one-on- <br />one fashion. Our highly trained senior tutors are capable of bolstering students' numeracy skills in the areas of <br />algebra, geometry, statistics, calculus, and more. Additionally, Senior Tutor/mentors utilize TeenSpace math <br />and English computer software applications as a creative strategy to assist their students in increasing their <br />literacy and numeracy gains All WIA participants will have access to these tutoring services. Prior to <br />acceptance into the program, all WIA enrolled youth will take a TABE test to assess their levels of basic skills. <br />All enrolled youth who are basic skills deficient will be assigned a TeenSpace Senior Tutor/mentor who will <br />Exhibit A
