Information
Referral History:
On June 5, 2014, Supervisor John Gioia convened a meeting to discuss the possibility of the County developing a program specifically designed to hire individuals with developmental disabilities into the County workforce. The meeting focused on a presentation and discussion that was led by Mary Welch, County of Alameda Interim Director Human Resources Services and Joany Callahan, Sheriff's Office Personnel Chief. They provided information about the Step Up program that Alameda County had implemented which provided outreach and recruitment strategies to the developmentally disabled. Contra Costa County was interested in exploring the possibility of creating a similar program.
Referral Update:
On February 8, 2016, the Bridge to Success proposal was presented to the Hiring Outreach Oversight Committee for their approval and direction. The proposal was approved and staff was directed to work with Kate Rauch to develop a focus group consisting of members who had extensive history and experience working within the disabled community. On March 23, 2016, Kate Rauch met with the focus group and reported the results of that meeting. On April 7, 2015 we also toured the County of Alameda to meet some of the participants in the program.

In May 2016, the committee requested that Risk Management and HR convene a meeting in order to determine roles as we move forward with the project.
