11 <br />At the time of enrollment, the Case Manager, Job Developer, and Program Manager will <br />make a determination as to what Common Measure is applied to each participant. This will be <br />used in crafting their Individual Service Plans (ISP). Supportive services are available to help <br />address barriers to achieving these outcomes. Also, incentives will be distributed at important <br />individual milestones. Incentives may serve as both motivation and recognition. The expected <br />outcomes listed below will be attained: <br />A. At least 40% of Out of School Youth who are Basic Skills Deficient will report Literacy/ <br />Numeracy gains of at least one educational functions level (EFL). Participants will receive <br />tutoring assistance and receive additional skill building trainings through workshops, TABE <br />practice sessions, and one-on-one meetings with their case manager. Improvement will be <br />monitored through role playing, comprehension exercises, and the TABE test, and face-to- <br />face assessments with program staff. <br />B. At least 65% of participants will be Placed in Employment or Education (of those who are <br />not in post -secondary education or employment at the date of enrollment). The case manager <br />and job developer will craft the participant's ISP to include employment and/or post- <br />secondary goals. All participants are required to participate in up to 50 hours of work <br />preparedness workshops and will have work experience placements available to them. <br />Meanwhile, the job developer will continue to reach out to new and existing employers to <br />help match participants with available, relevant job openings. The Youth Employment <br />program receives assistance from OCAPICA's Scholars Program which helps youth get in to <br />and stay in college. This unit will streamline efforts including workshop delivery and <br />curriculum development to better serve underrepresented youth. <br />C. At least 61 % of participants will Attain a Degree or Certificate (of those enrolled in <br />education at date of enrollment or at any point during the program). Each participant will <br />work with the case manager to develop an appropriate ISP, including identifying a pathway <br />toward graduation, certification, or licensure. Additional guidance, study skills coaching, <br />and skill building workshops will be provided to the participants in support of this goal. <br />Program Timeline: <br />OCAPICA staff will continue outreach, recruitment, intakes, and assessments until all 15 <br />participants are successfully enrolled. OCAPICA anticipates not only have 75% (n=11) enrolled <br />by 12/13, but will target 100% enrollment by 12/13. <br />a) Case Management: The Case Manager will begin meeting with the participants within two <br />weeks of their enrollment, and will continue meetings for the duration of the program year. <br />b) Program Services: WIA-related services will commence within two weeks of enrollment, <br />with workshops commencing by week 4. <br />c) Supportive Services: The case manager and job developer will work closely with the <br />participant to assess their needs. Based on the staffs assessment, the participant may access <br />supportive services from the time of their first meeting with OCAPICA staff and throughout the <br />program until they reach their maximum per capita limit. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
