• The Youth Employment program is in a major year of transition from WIA to WIOA (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act). Under new legislation the Youth programs must serve at minimum 75% out-of-school youth. This has impacted outcomes as shown in the graph above. Staff has been to training on how to attract the out of school population along with learning new strategies and best practices from other local workforce development areas. Webinar’s have been offered through the Department of Labor regularly for program Supervisors and case manager’s working with the youth program population. The Workforce Development Board Youth Committee has determined this to be of highest priority and have brought together more than a dozen agencies that serve the out of school age youth in support of the operators providing services. The Workforce Development Board and Youth Committee held a Youth Summit on March 15th with more than 350 people in attendance. The Office for Employment Training Youth Programs had tables at the Summit, and enrollments have increased since that date. However, with the transition some performance goals have been impacted and this year, the first in five years, we fell short of meeting the Literacy and Numeracy goals for the jurisdiction.
• Workforce Accelerator grant project was a second round grant award from the California Workforce Development Board that was intended to support the Department of Labor Youth Ambassador’s Youth project by allowing young people ages 16-24 the opportunity of a paid internship once the program milestones are met. The expenditures for this grant were slow to start up, in part due to the loss of two youth that were slated to begin their paid internship but circumstances beyond all our control changed that. The grant ended without an opportunity for extension. The remaining grant funds were deobligated and returned to the State. Once the Youth Ambassador’s for Peace program has a strong enrollment base, we plan to apply for another round of Workforce Accelerator funds to support the Youth Ambassador’s project.
• Workforce Innovation Grant through the Department of Labor is in its second year of with enrollments taking place weekly. Organizations that are referring individuals that meet the parameters of this special project include Rancho Cielo, Epi Center and Milpa in Salinas and in Seaside at the Resource Center and the Village project, City Hall in Greenfield, Silver Star and Probation. Site locations for internships continue to be developed and secured. One hundred and thirty referrals have been received by partnering agencies with 37 youth/young adults completing the enrollment process and another 11 in process of completion prior to beginning workshops.
• Local funding programs -- Silver Star, AB 109 and the new Youth Employment Program (YEP) through DSS, continue to be offered. Each of these programs is based on referrals from the contracting agency. The AB 109 program changed course this year in that Individual Training Opportunities were added to assist individuals being released to ensure greater success; the Silver Star program continues to be a great success with 102 referrals to date and 39 receiving work experience; and the one time only DSS new YEP program has had 30 new referrals with 15 receiving a work experience.
• The Rapid Response Business Services Team has had 108 employer recruitment events from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016; 568 job referrals to employers, with 78 job seekers reported hired from those events and referrals for fiscal year 2015-16
