V. Work Based Learning (not a required element of the program) <br />A. Describe in detail the work based learning opportunities that will be offered to the <br />youth such as: paid work experience, internships, externships, job shadowing, and <br />work based learning. <br />The OCCC is committed to career and workforce development programs, providing <br />academic support and leadership development. Corpsmembers are placed in our <br />on-the-job training and paid for their services. On-the-job training provides <br />Corpsmembers with business, leadership, and teamwork skills. They train with <br />professionals in a variety of fields, gain confidence in their own abilities, and <br />pursue their career goals. Corpsmembers' time at the OCCC is largely spent serving <br />their communities. OCCC projects and on-the-job training opportunities cover <br />Orange County: aiding recycling efforts, restoring its native habitats, protecting <br />water supplies, and working on fee for service projects throughout Orange County. <br />Corpsmembers leave the OCCC program with an understanding of our natural <br />resources and why we must preserve them. Because a big part of our mission <br />involves getting our participants prepared to enter the workforce and become self- <br />sufficient, we have been expanding our work experience program for the past <br />couple years. OCCC program participants who are selected to participate are 18-25 <br />years old and receive paid work experience with our partner companies, like <br />Goodwill Industries, Smart & Final, CVS Pharmacy, Party City, Marshalls, Costco, <br />and many others. They are allowed to work a maximum of 28 hours per week, <br />nights and weekends if needed, for up to 90 days while their wages, worker's <br />compensation and liability insurance is paid through OCCC's grant funding, along <br />with any uniforms the partner business requires. Assistance with transportation <br />and other supportive services are also provided. Under the mentorship of the <br />partner's employees, our participants learn valuable job skills that enhance their <br />knowledge and ability. <br />B.
