SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:

This amendment increases the number of training days from twenty (20) to forty-two (42) to meet program training needs in light of ongoing program regulations in CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, CalFresh, IHSS, Adult and Social Services.

Each additional day of training in the contract allows for custom design and delivery of training to a full classroom of employees by statewide experts in the field.
