Sub -Agreement between RSCCD and City of Santa Ana CITY OF SANTA ANA Exhibit A SCOPE OF WORK BACKGROUND For over 20 years, the City of Santa Ana's WORK Center has demonstrated its abilities in designing, implementing and managing a full array of workforce development programs to area residents. In 1996, the City of Santa Ana further expanded its services by opening the Santa Ana W/0/R/K Center and later partnering with various agencies, including the State Employment Development Department, Orange County Social Services Agency, Department of Rehabilitation, Rancho Santiago Community College District, Goodwill Industry and community-based organizations to ensure a comprehensive and integrated service delivery in a One -Stop environment. These services have benefited youth, adults, dislocated workers, and families on -aid. In response to the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act's (WIOA) vision, the WORK Center is taking a leadership role by broadening and strengthening the current network of partnerships. WIOA's centerpiece to build a better aligned workforce system is a more holistic approach to the programs, especially the Title I programs and the Title II adult basic education program. There are numerous instances where WIOA either requires or facilitates better coordination between these programs. The WORK Center's primary role is to bridge gaps and coordinate services among such partners to ensure that job seekers are provided comprehensive services, including participant co -enrollment. PLANNED APPROACH The Santa Ana WORK Center, will assume the responsibility to insure that WIOA eligible students enrolled at Santa Ana College eligible participants receive needed WIOA services. These services may include one or more of the following services: I, Comprehensive Assessment: This activity is designed to determine the skills, interests, abilities, educational requirements and supportive service needs for the participants. The assessment will be the basis for the development of an Individual Employment Plan (IEP) that will outline the strategies required for success in the program. 2, Counseling/Case Management: This activity will insure that each participant receives individualized attention during all aspects of the project. The Case Manager will act as liaison with the training provider, supportive services providers and other agencies to insure that the participant successfully completes training. The Case Manager will evaluate the, perhaps, differing needs of the incumbent workers and dislocated workers participating in this project. 3, Supportive Services: As part of the IEP, supportive services will be identified and the participant will receive assistance in those services. Supportive services include but not limited to, transportation assistance, clothing assistance, assistance with tool purchases or testing fees. Job Development/Job Creation: The Employer Services team will interact, with the local business community. The goal is to insure that sufficient employment opportunities are created for WIOA eligible students who are co -enroll in this program.
