2015 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center <br />Youth Employment Program - WIOA Proposal <br />has already provided at Community Day High School workshops on resume writing and cover <br />letters to youth on probation. We plan to provide at least 2 workshops each semester (4 per <br />year); and provide a booth at their Annual event. We will also provide youth with flyers and <br />information on our program, and encourage them to enroll in the WIOA program. <br />4. Target group — High School Dropout Youth: In partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School <br />District and Pupil Support Services/School Climate Department, OCCTAC will target and serve <br />the high school dropout youth in Santa Ana. Dr. Sonia Rodarte Llamas (Director) has met <br />with Dr. Ana Jimenez-Hami and Lizeth Lopez to discuss our new and exciting partnership! <br />Her staff will be providing us with referrals of youth who unfortunately stopped attending <br />school for more than 3 months, and are now considered High School Dropout students. We <br />are looking forward to creating and growing our partnership with the Santa Ana Unified <br />School District to continue to provide and expand work experience placements, vocational <br />training, academic/employment services and mentoring to youth who have dropped out yet <br />want to achieve their high school diploma. <br />Lastly, OCCTAC will continue to conduct community outreach and special community events <br />throughout the year to promote our programs and inform the youth in the Santa Ana <br />community about this wonderful WIOA program. Some of these community events include <br />Expos, Health Fairs, Summer Family Festivals, etc. These events aid in the promotion of our <br />services and recruitment of youth. These events are staffed by employees and volunteers at <br />OCCTAC, as well as youth! WIOA participants are also encouraged to participate in these <br />events as a way to gain leadership skills, work experience, and practice with public speaking. <br />F.
