<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> III. PROGRAMIPROJECT DESCRIPTION-DETAIL- <br /> In the space below, describe the program/project. Include information as to how the program/project will benefit <br /> low-income people/households. max, char. 2000 <br /> The Youth Customer Service Training program will provide youth with job skills that will make them competitive in today's <br /> tough job market. <br /> Retail jobs offer flexible schedules for youth attending school while providing communication, customer service, sales <br /> and management skills. These transferable skills open the door to entry level occupations such as receptionists, front <br /> office clerks, bank tellers and other occupations that are stepping stones to sustainable careers. <br /> The program will provide pathways to employment for youth by offering employability skills, resume workshops, <br /> customer service workshops and referrals to training and education programs, job search assistance, and a youth <br /> joblresource fair. <br /> The job/resource fair will be targeted for program youth as an avenue to obtain employment. The event will be held at the <br /> Santa Ana WORK Center (SAWC) and all Santa Ana youth will be welcome. <br /> The SAWC will serve 625 Santa Ana low income youth ages 16-21 eligible to work in the US. <br /> <br /> Services will be provided at the SAWC, local high schools including High School Inc, and other local community <br /> organizations to ensure accessibility of services to all Santa Ana youth, Partnerships will be established with the Santa <br /> Ana Chamber of Commerce, Westfield Main Place Mall, the Santa Ana Auto Mall, and local retailers along the Bristol <br /> Corridor and Downtown Santa Ana to identify job opportunities for youth. <br /> <br /> <br /> i <br /> IV. STATEMENT OF NEED <br /> In the space below, describe why this program/projeot is needed. Include information as to any effects if C01313 <br /> funds are not awarded and whether similar programs/projects are available in the community. max. char. 2000 <br /> According to the most recent State labor report, nearly 12% of Santa Ana's residents are unemployed. On a national <br /> level youth unemployment is estimated at about 17.1%. Youth seeking employment have to compete with experienced <br /> adults for jobs, It is important and train today's youth in the skills they will need to be successful in their future careers <br /> and guide them into careers that lead to self-sufficiency, <br /> CDBG funding would be utilized to fund the customer service training, employability and resume workshops, and the <br /> joblresource fair coordination. Similar program are provided through the Santa Ana WORK Center utllizing federal <br /> funding, however those programs serve approximately 150 youth per year and have strict eligibility requirements which <br /> do not make them accessible to a large part of Santa Ana's low income youth. CDSG funding would allow those low <br /> income youth an opportunity to obtain preparation for the workforce, <br /> This program will prepare youth for the labor force to ensure they are able to compete in an environment with 17,1 % <br /> youth unemployment (US Bureau of Labor Statistics, July 2012), <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br /> 75B-64 <br />
