RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language with Mount Diablo Unified School District in an amount not to exceed $300,000 to provide Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) year-round youth workforce development services in Central County for the period July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The contract for $300,000 is funded 100% with Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) revenues. CFDA# 17.259

BACKGROUND:

The contract was awarded through Request for Proposal (RFP) 1150 for the provision of comprehensive Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) youth development services to eligible youth ages 16-24 in Contra Costa County. The contract contains mutual indemnification language and funding will come from WIOA formula youth funds.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

WIOA defines the nation’s job training system and provides guidance for local workforce investment systems designed to increase the employment, retention, and earnings of participants, and to increase occupational skill attainment by participants. The goals of these efforts are to improve the quality of the workforce, reduce welfare dependency, and enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the nation. Contractor will provide a systematic approach that offers eligible in-school and out-of-school youth a broad range of coordinated services. This includes assistance in academic and occupational learning; development of leadership skills; and preparation for further education, additional training, and eventual employment. Programs will provide guidance for youth that is balanced with appropriate consideration of each youth’s involvement in his or her training and educational plan.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without this contract, in-school and out-of-school youth in Contra Costa County will not receive assistance in overcoming barriers to employment, job readiness, educational programs, and career building.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The services provided under this contract support all five of Contra Costa County’s community outcomes: (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 providing training and employment opportunities for in-school and out-of-school youth.
