RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE the local Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa as Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider as recommended by the Employment and Human Services Department Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Not applicable.

BACKGROUND:

Local Workforce Development Boards (Local Boards) are responsible for identifying eligible Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Providers. Local Boards are required to conduct an open and competitive process in order to select their American Job Center of CA (AJCC) operators. The Local Board has the flexibility to provide Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services themselves, with agreement of the Chief Elected Official and Governor, or by awarding contracts.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

A Local Board or administrative entity may be designated as an Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider with the approval of the Chief Elected Official and the Governor. Approval under this provision would serve as agreement by the Governor and would exempt the Local Board from selecting Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Service Providers through the award of contracts by allowing them to fulfill the roles themselves. If the Local Board receives approval to be an Adult and Dislocated Worker Career Services Provider, the approval will be valid for a maximum of four (4) years, after which time, another application must be submitted.

The Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa under the umbrella of Contra Costa County, has been operating four (4) One-Stop Career Centers, now AJCC, since 2000, and believes that the existing configuration has proven to be an efficient management structure of the One-Stop System, leveraging a broad range of diverse resources that benefit all customers at the AJCCs and has produced a high level of customer satisfaction. The County One-Stop System has continuously met or exceeded all Department of Labor performance measures over the years.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
