13 <br />these job opportunities with our students. Every student will be sent out on a job <br />interview and our staff works relentlessly to help each student find an excellent <br />placement. <br />With this grant, CCC will be able to serve 45 youth. We will focus on youth who require <br />additional assistance to overcome barriers including but not limited to being young parents, <br />dropping out of high school, having a family history of welfare dependency or being in the <br />foster youth system. <br />B. Specify how the target groups will be recruited and describe your recruitment plan to fulfill <br />the enrollment goals WIA requires that 75% of youth be enrolled by the 1st auarter of the <br />program and 100% enrollment be reached by the 2nd quarter of the program CCC will <br />recruit our targeted students in the following ways: <br />1. Foster Youth System: We have partnerships with Orangewood Children's <br />Foundation, Olivecrest and Social Services. We will continue to develop these <br />relationships to reach out to Foster and Emancipated Youth letting them know <br />about this opportunity to enroll young people. <br />2. Community Youth Organizations: CCC has active partnerships with over 25 youth <br />serving organizations. We offer free workshops in the community. We will use <br />these workshops to reach out to qualified youth. <br />3. High School Partnerships: CCC has strong relationships with Santa Ana Unified High <br />School District including their continuation schools. We will alert them of this <br />opportunity by meeting with the guidance counselors and offering to do in class <br />information sessions in the continuation schools where students graduate year <br />round and often lack a strong post -high school plan. <br />4. Informational Workshops: CCC will invite the community to attend monthly free - <br />informational sessions about this opportunity. <br />5. Advertising + Marketing: <br />a. Event +Community Marketing: CCC staff members currently attend local <br />events nearly every weekend to raise awareness about the school. We will <br />use these community events to raise awareness about this opportunity. <br />b. Social Media Marketing: CCC will advertise the opportunity using our high <br />traffic Website, Facebook, Twitter+ Linked In presence. <br />c. Database: CCC will email the over 5,000 18-21 year olds currently in our <br />database who expressed interest in our program but did not sign up. <br />C. Will your agency provide paid work experience? If so please describe and include the Paid <br />Work Experience Policy with this proposal. CCC will not provide paid work experience. Our <br />goal is to support students to find fully paying work at the end of their program. We have <br />explored paid work experience in the past and have found that once the "payment" <br />stopped the rate of hire was very low. We have had a lot of success identifying <br />internship/externship sites who are looking to hire someone at the end of their experience. <br />D. How will your agency address the barriers that the youth face? Our whole program is <br />created with the focus of assisting students who need extra support to succeed. We <br />provide skilled instructors, small classes, free tutoring, student services and life skills <br />
