it is critical that differentiated services provided for each program are documented and justified.
H. File Maintenance and Documentation: A case file shall be maintained for every registered
customer. At a minimum, the case file will include information and documentation of each of the

I. Workshops: The One-Stop Center shall offer, at minimum, transferable skills workshops
weekly to registered WIA customers. These workshops are to help clients and case managers
determine the unique skills and strengths of this workforce. Transferrable skills workshops
should identify skills that can be applied to high-wage, high-growth demand occupations. The
intent of these workshops is to provide the knowledge and skills to identify potential jobs, apply
for a job, interview for a job and handle difficult situations that may arise after hire to ensure
successful job retention.
J. Training: The Contractor will be responsible for referring each individual to the most
appropriate activity for the individual as determined from the assessment and the documented
statements in the IEP. Not every customer will need or desire training. Training activities are for

specific skill set or demand occupation. Successful completion of training courses must lead to
recognized credentials or their equivalent. The categories below list the training services that
shall be made available to individuals showing an assessed need.
1. Occupational skills training is offered through Individualized Training Accounts (ITA). ITAs
permit a wide range of choices to customers and are locally monitored to offer training in
only demand occupations in accordance with the Santa Ana WIB On-the-Job Training policy
2. On-the-Job Training (OJT) contracts will be developed under this agreement in accordance
with the Santa Ana WIB On-the-Job Training policy.
3. Contractor shall seek other non-WIA funded training, whenever possible, and shall use Pell
Grants to offset WIA funds where applicable. Other non-WIA funded training offered by the
community college, adult education and ROP is strongly encouraged.

that may be a barrier to an individual's job search, training or placement. Supportive services
shall only be issued after a need has been identified and when no other funding is available to
pay for such services. The Contractor is responsible for managing the provision of supportive
services in as cost efficient manner as possible to ensure fair distribution and non-duplication of
resources and services.
L. Job Placement: The Contractor shall provide job listings and referrals to assist core services
customers with finding a job in coordination with the Employment Development Department
(EDD) and other partner-funded staff. The Contractor shall provide more intensive job

overcome any problems that may arise during this critical period and to ensure further
progress toward long-term employment and self-sufficiency. This should be accomplished
by monthly follow-up with the customer and possibly the employer.
3. During the retention period, the Contractor must ensure that the customer remains
employed and if they lose their job during this time, shall immediately work with the
customer so they can secure new employment. Case Managers shall provide one-on-one
counseling during follow-up contacts that will focus on identifying and eliminating any
barriers that may be preventing a customer from successfully retaining a job and encourage
customers to attend the workshops related to specific methods for retaining employment,
enhancing skills and fostering self-sufficiency.
4. Contractor shall document in the customer's file employment in the first, second and third
quarter after exit through one of the following sources: UI wage records, WRIS,
