awarded between fiscal years 2015 -16 through 2016 -17 resulted in 311 Welfare -to -Work
participants enrolled into either vocational training or work experience programs. Participants
have achieved certificates in various types of training including medical assistant, accounting
clerks, and medical billing. Over 65 percent of enrollees have obtained employment.
The City of Santa Ana WORK Center was awarded a $2,400,000 contract to continue to provide
vocational training and work experience activities to CalWORKS WTW participants. Staff will also
provide case management, employability skills training, worksite development, and job placement
services. The program will serve 360 participants from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020.
