Each year, the State of California establishes performance standards for the SDWP. SDWP then sets local contract performance measures that the CCN operators are held accountable to achieve. The performance measures are monitored on a quarterly basis and all performance is cumulative throughout the program year. Mr. Nanzer reviewed performance summary figures. He stated that overall, the CCN performed very well during the Program 4

7 Year. Each of the regions ended the fourth quarter with performance that is at or above target level in each of the performance metrics. Mr. Callstrom stated that the report has been revised thanks to input form the Policy Board in order to provide better clarity. 9-09/27/13 Item 16 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) PY Year-Long- Youth Programs Annual Performance Update SDWP monitors performance of contracted youth service providers throughout the program year using the Customer Information Services Reporting System (CISRS) data collection and reporting system. To provide support of performance management, reports are produced and distributed to youth service providers on a quarterly basis by the SDWP. In addition, youth service providers have been trained to produce data reports for assistance with managing their performance. Margie de Ruyter, SDWP s Senior Director of Workforce Initiatives, reported details regarding the Youth Program Performance Report. There was $5.6 million in youth funding for program year and 95 percent was expended. The Youth Program finished with 1,343 enrollments, which is 97 percent of its target level for all youth programs during the program year. She noted that the youth service provider network exceeded all performance measure target goals for the overall PY There were five youth service providers, however, that fell below at least one target goal.

It was noted that once the deficit is resolved, the SDWP Corporate Board is prepared to enact the strategies that they have developed to procure unrestricted funds as a fund reserve. With continued focus and in partnership with the Pacific Center for Workforce Initiatives (PCWI), the SDWP Corporate Board, and community supporters, SDWP hopes to eliminate the deficit by

9 Item #2: America s Job Centers Operators Contract Modification DATE: October 28, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner Chair Workforce Investment Board RECOMMENDATION(S) That the San Diego Consortium Policy Board (Policy Board) approve the following contract allocations to the America s Job Centers of California (AJCC) operators (formerly known as One-Stop Career Centers). Effective date of funding is October 1, 2013, contingent upon approval of the SDWP budget by the Policy Board. Contractor WIA Adult WIA Dislocated Total WIA Allocation ResCare North $27,918 $35,616 $63,534 ResCare South $29,610 $28,302 $57,912 Grossmont - East $20,727 $25,440 $46,167 KRA - Metro $62,745 $69,642 $132,387 Total $141,000 $159,000 $300,000 BACKGROUND On July 1, 2013 the State of California released 25 percent of the program year (PY) total Workforce Investment Act (WIA) adult and dislocated worker funding, of which $450,000 was allocated to training. The remaining 75 percent, which included $6 million in training funds, was released October 1, AJCC operators are required to expend these funds by June 30, Full expenditure of these funds will ensure compliance with Senate Bill 734. This bill requires local WIBs to spend at least 25 percent of the total adult and dislocated worker fund allocations on workforce training services. During its annual budget modification process, SDWP identified an additional $300,000 that could be allocated to AJCC operators to support the management, distribution, and monitoring of the increased allocation of training funds. This funding recommendation would provide AJCC s with additional resources to ensure appropriate oversight of the $6 million in training funding allocated for the remaining three quarters of PY ATTACHMENTS None 7

10 Item #3: Revised Individual Training Account Cap DATE: November 14, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner, Chair Workforce Investment Board RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Policy Board approve temporarily increasing the Individual Training Account (ITA) cap to $7,000 for higher in-demand occupations in San Diego s priority industry sectors. BACKGROUND Up until 1999, under the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA), the voucher-training program had a cap of $8,500 per client. When the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was introduced, there was a reduction of formula funds, and the cap was decreased to $5,000. From 2008 to 2010, the ITA cap was revised three times in response to the America s Job Centers integrated service delivery system, changes in the labor market, and the influx of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds. During this period of time, the SDWP implemented two caps. One was a lower cap for in-demand occupations and the second cap was set at a higher amount for certain occupations that were deemed higher in demand. Each year, SDWP would analyze the higher in-demand occupations and present the list to the Boards for approval. When the economy declined, all occupations were in decline resulting in the WIB setting the current ITA cap at $5,000 for all occupations. In 2011, the State of California passed Senate Bill 734, which requires that local WIBs allocate and expend a minimum percentage of WIA funds to training programs. For program year , SDWP has allocated $6 million of WIA adult and dislocated worker funds to training. This amount represents an increase over prior years. In June of 2013, SDWP submitted its Five Year Strategic Plan to the State of California. Within that plan, SDWP identified San Diego s priority industry sectors that are emerging, are predicted to have the largest growth, and are rapidly growing. SDWP plans to expand its work with employers in the priority industry sectors to ensure they have direct input on the specific educational and skills gaps they are experiencing with job seekers. Adult and dislocated worker participant training will be specific to the needs of employers in these sectors. Many of the higher in-demand occupations within these sectors require longer length of training that is also more expensive. With the current cap of $5,000 per ITA, adult and dislocated worker participants who are seeking assistance with training enroll in very entry level training programs with lower costs or they apply for financial aide to cover the tuition that exceeds the $5,000 cost of higher skilled/higher in-demand training programs. This presents an undue hardship for participants, as they often graduate with a student loan debt. 8

11 Given the increase in the amount of training funds allocated to adult and dislocated worker training, the need to train individuals in career pathway programs in higher skilled occupations within the priority industry sectors, and the need to mitigate the amount of debt participants may incur, the APC is recommending a revision to the ITA cap. This revision will help meet the needs of the business community by allocating resources to develop a more competitive and skilled workforce. The APC is recommending retaining the ITA cap of $5,000 for in-demand occupations that do not have high training costs. For occupations that are higher in demand and require longer length and more expensive training, APC is recommending setting a cap of $7,000. ATTACHMENTS Attachment A: In-Demand Jobs Fall

13 Item #4: Approval of Providers/Programs for Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) DATE: November 14, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner, Chair Workforce Investment Board RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Policy Board approve four (4) new providers and twenty-eight (28) new programs that meet the requirements of the Employment Development Department (EDD) Workforce Investment Directive #WIAD06-15 for inclusion on the Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL).

17 Item #5: America s Job Centers Operators Contract Modification Comprehensive Assessment DATE: November 14, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner, Chair Workforce Investment Board RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Policy Board approve the following contract allocations to the America s Job Centers of California (AJCC) operators to provide comprehensive career assessment services. The effective date of funding is October 1, 2013, contingent upon approval of the budget by the Policy Board. Contractor WIA Adult WIA Dislocated Total WIA Allocation ResCare North $16,286 $20,776 $37,062 ResCare South $17,272 $16,509 $33,781 Grossmont - East $12,091 $14,840 $26,931 KRA - Metro $36,601 $40,625 $77,226 Total $82,250 $92,750 $175,000 BACKGROUND In the past, each AJCC operator subcontracted with a regional community college to provide comprehensive career guidance and assessment services. With Workforce Investment Act (WIA) funding, the community colleges provided a certified career counselor to administer and interpret career assessments for job seekers. The counselor provided the workforce advisors with an assessment report that was used to develop an Individual Employment Plan with AJCC participants. Due to funding decreases, the ability to fund this level and quality of service was not sustained. AJCC operators, along with SDWP, recognize the need for a comprehensive assessment system that assists participants with planning for skills training, career transitions and/or career management. Comprehensive assessment is a vital component in preparing participants for making informed choices that will lead to demand occupation skills training and long-term employment opportunities. Therefore, APC is recommending allocating $175,000 to the AJCC operators for the provision of a career assessment system to assist enrolled participants in developing their employment plan prior to accessing WIA-funded training. SDWP staff will work with each AJCC operator to define required criteria. The assessment process must include one-on-one counseling by a trained, certified vocational counselor, to assess basic education, occupational skills, work history, interest aptitudes, attitudes towards work, and support service needs. This will ensure consistency is provided to job seeker 15

18 customers across the region. Additionally, the assessment will better inform the selection of training that matches the skills and abilities of the participant. ATTACHMENTS None 16

19 Item #6: County of San Diego Supportive Employment Technical Consulting Services Contract Action DATE: November 14, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Peter Callstrom, President and CEO RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Policy Board approve a contract award to Corporation for Supportive Housing (CSH) for the Supportive Employment Technical Consultant Services for Adults with Serious Mental Illness for the amounts below. This recommendation is pending the County of San Diego s final approval of the contract award to the SDWP. Period of Performance Amount 11/15/2013 6/30/2014 $63,650 7/01/2014 6/30/2015 $95,000 Total Award $158,650 BACKGROUND On April 24, 2013, the SDWP in partnership with CSH submitted a proposal to the County of San Diego (County) in response to their Request for Proposals for Supportive Employment Technical Consultant Services for Adults with Serious Mental Illness. On September 13, 2013, SDWP was notified by the County that it was the successful respondent. The period of performance for this contract is November 15, 2013 to June 30, The objective of this project is to create a Technical Assistance (TA) team that will coordinate and build on the work of the County s San Diego Employment Solutions (SDES) plan. Mental Health Systems (MHS) was awarded the contract for Supportive Employment Services for Adults with Serious Mental Illness and was the previous provider of the Technical Consultant Services TA contract. This coordination will assist in securing a broad range of partnerships that result in employment opportunities for the target population. The team will conduct intensive outreach to a range of employers and stakeholders, with a focus on those who provide opportunities that align with vocational aspirations of clients served by MHS. The team will draft a strategic employment plan building on the existing work completed by MHS. CSH is a subject matter expert for the provision of consultant services for supportive housing for individuals with serious mental illness. SDWP was awarded the contract based on the expertise and strength that SDWP and CSH collectively bring to this project. SDWP will enter into a sole source contract with CSH based on direction from the County that the award is based on the elements of SDWP s proposal that describes the collaboration and subcontract with CSH.

20 Item #7: Rapid Response Services Contract Modification DATE: November 14, 2013 RE: November 22, 2013 Meeting TO: FROM: San Diego Consortium Policy Board Rebecca Aguilera-Gardiner, Chair Workforce Investment Board RECOMMENDATION(S) That the Policy Board approve an additional $50,000 to the Rapid Response services contractor, San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (SDREDC). The effective date of funding is October 1, 2013, and is contingent upon the approval of the SDWP budget by the Policy Board. Contract Total Contractor Current Allocation Modification Allocation San Diego Regional EDC $150,000 $50,000 $200,000 BACKGROUND The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) mandates that Rapid Response services are offered to all businesses experiencing layoffs, closure and/or relocation. These services include follow-up on Workforce Adjustment and Retraining Notifications (WARN) that are received from businesses planning to lay off a significant portion of their workforce. Services also include support for information on programs and services aimed at the growth, retention, and/or transition of workers. To facilitate both on-site response activities and labor market research, the State of California provides formula grants annually to the local WIB based on layoffs, unemployment, poverty levels, and follow-up work performed by the WIB or its contractors. On June 29, 2012, SDWP issued a request for proposals (RFP) to economic development council/corporations, chambers of commerce, businesses, non-profit organizations and/or any combination of organizations listed above to provide Rapid Response services to companies that are closing or laying off employees and to undertake activities to enhance the knowledge of broader workforce development efforts in San Diego County. SDREDC was awarded the contract on September 21, Additional Rapid Response funding of $50,000 for program year (PY) will allow Rapid Response activities to be broadened and strengthened throughout San Diego County. In the past three years, SDWP has received more than 150 WARNs from employers. More than 11,000 positions have been laid off during this period. Per their contract with SDWP, SDREDC outreached to these employers to provide Rapid Response services. More recently, during PY , SDREDC received 63 WARNs for layoffs taking place in San Diego County. The 63 notices accounted for 2,261 impacted employees. 18

21 Under the Rapid Response contract, SDREDC responded to all 63 companies, but were only able to schedule Rapid Response presentations with 42 of the issuing companies due to limited resources. Through the 42 presentations, 643 individuals or 28 percent of the total impacted employees, received information and resources to help them transition through a layoff via a Rapid Response presentation. With additional funding, SDREDC and their sub-regional EDC partners can strengthen their reach and make presentations to 33 percent more individuals, improving the connection rate to 50 percent of impacted employees in the region. This will be made possible through additional hours each partner is able to commit to following through with companies and through proactive outreach in the regional business community. Therefore, it is recommended that the additional funding be awarded to the SDREDC, an organization with extensive experience in Rapid Response services, in order to have the most significant impact across San Diego County.
