A private company, Farus LLC, provided customized classroom and hands -on training <br />through the WORK Center in various aspects of ultrasound technology, from a basic <br />understanding of the process through teardown and maintenance and board repair. <br />The Tenacore program is another example of private investment in growing a <br />trained and competent Santa Ana workforce. <br />• Formal classroom training at the colleges and universities have been analyzed above. <br />• Regional cluster and industry specific training coordination and administration. <br />Career Technical Training Orange County (CTEoc), in place at RSCCD, now provides <br />information about career pathway courses at every level for the County. It is <br />analyzed in detail in Section 4 below, because the bulk of its programs deal with <br />youth. However, both in- school and other training resources reach adults as well. It <br />lists career courses in manufacturing, health and medicine, hospitality, and <br />engineering and green technology. Based on CTEoc's record of performance and its <br />seamless approach to routing learners successfully, RSCCD will be the educational <br />routing service for the entire community college system in Santa Ana's MSA for the <br />next five years. <br />• ETP. The State's Employment Training Panel funds employers to improve the <br />specific skills and career ladder options of workers. It does not do training itself, but <br />it uses California employment taxes to create its pool of funds. As of 2013 it has <br />made funds not available before accessible to small businesses. It now includes <br />funding to help transition workers from seasonal or part time work to full time, to <br />support job creation, and to increase the concentration on apprenticeship and <br />journeyman training. The new thrust of ETP is consistent with Santa Ana's <br />increasing emphasis on small business development and will be seeking expanded <br />investment through them. <br />Santa Ana has received several sizeable ongoing grants under the ETP program, <br />including one to the Chamber of Commerce for about $1 million, of which $377,000 <br />was in local in -kind contributions. The policy shift is evident in 2013 in grants to two <br />small businesses in construction, one (to Hope Builders) to focus on skill <br />development for incumbent and displaced workers in technical skills and one (to <br />Innovative Constructions Solutions) for administrative and business support training. <br />Each was less than $100,000 and intended to serve a limited number of applicants. <br />"Earn and Learn" and Hybrid Programs. Earn and learn, hybrid educational programs, <br />externships, and internships all refer to a mixed and fluid method of educating a labor <br />force based on the career pathway idea. They suggest that work experience either <br />supplements classroom experience or under some circumstance is equal to it. These <br />programs also suggest that in preparing incumbent workers, job applicants, and <br />displaced workers, it is necessary to offset the lack of income they may experience <br />while training. Almost every program cited above contains earn and learn provisions. <br />Some have their own names. <br />40 <br />19F -47 <br />
