RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board (WDB), to execute a contract amendment with Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD), effective March 1, 2016, to include Workforce Investment (WIA)/Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) youth development services to eligible in-school and out-of-school youth ages 16 to 24 years old and identify Mt. Diablo Adult Education as part of the collaborative with MDUSD to provide adult/dislocated worker one-stop-related services, oversee and administer job seeker assessment and training services for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016. (100% Federal)

FISCAL IMPACT:

$384,000 No County Costs; 100% Federal Workforce Investment Act (WIA)/Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Funding.

BACKGROUND:

In March 2014, the Employment and Human Services Department, on behalf of the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa (WDB) and The Youth Council, awarded contracts under Request for Proposal #1134 for in-school, out-of-school, and follow-up youth services as mandated by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Youth Council and WDB awarded one of three contracts to Mount Diablo Unified School District (MDUSD) for these services. MDUSD's Mt. Diablo Youth Employment Services (YES) is a collaborative among School Linked Services, the Mt. Diablo CARES After School Program and Career Academies in MDUSD designed to provide wrap-around and tiered services to WIA eligible in-school and out-of-school youth in Central Contra Costa County that included: academic support, counseling and case management, enrichment and leadership opportunities, and training, mentorship and employment that leads to high school graduation and links to an array of postsecondary options to prepare youth for college and/or career.

This Board Order is requesting Board approval to include Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding with the WIA youth development services to eligible in-school and out-of-school youth ages 16 to 24 years old and include Mt. Diablo Adult Education as part of the collaborative with MDUSD to provide adult/dislocated worker one-stop-related services, oversee and administer job seeker assessment and training services at four of the EASTBAY Works One-Stop Career Centers in Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

In-school and out-of-school Youth and Adult/Dislocated Workers will not receive assistance in overcoming barriers to employment, job readiness, educational programs, career training, one-stop-related, job seeker assessment and training services.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: (1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; (2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; (3) "Families that are Economically Self-Sufficient"; (4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and (5)"Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by training and providing employment opportunities for youth.
