12 Item #6: Contract Action Grossmont College Navigator for Program Year MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 9, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President & Chief Programs Officer RECOMMENDATION(S) That the APC recommends the WIB approve the SDWP for a one-year contract with Grossmont College in an amount not to exceed $109,000 to fund Navigation services. This is the second year of a pilot project with a period of performance from July 1, 2015 to June 30, BACKGROUND The Grossmont College Navigator Contract is a pilot project recommended by the SDWP and San Diego Imperial Counties Community College Association (SDICCCA) workgroup that identified a need to increase collaboration, coordination, and alignment between the community colleges and workforce development systems. The Grossmont College Pilot project was implemented on July 1, 2014 and the Navigator serves as a liaison with the East County AJCC, SDWP, and Grossmont College. During the first year of the pilot, key accomplishments include: Recruited and enrolled 12 AJCC participants in Grossmont programs; Each AJCC set up supportive service payment accounts with Grossmont college; Career coaching and navigation support for common participants; Navigation/access to wider set of training resources, including Community College Board of Governors (BOG) waivers, Individual Training Accounts (ITA)s and other sources. Key goals for the second year of the pilot include: Increase the number of students served and enrolled; Track job placement performance for all pilot participants; Explore common assessment and sharing of intake/enrollment data. The navigator pilot project has also uncovered very real challenges with streamlining the student experience, including different assessment and intake processes, administrative timing related to class enrollment, WIA training fund process, and Community College Board of Governance waivers application process, and shortage of supportive service payments for books and other needs while students attend education. Heading into year 2 the leadership from Grossmont College and SDWP are meeting to improve our common customer experience. ATTACHMENT None 10

13 Item #7: RFP Proposed Framework Reentry Works San Diego MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 16, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President &Chief Programs Officer RECOMMENDATION(S) This informational item provides a framework for the SDWP s Request for Proposal(s) (RFP) for Reentry Works San Diego, an initiative to provide job center activities on-site at San Diego county jail- and probation-based locations. BACKGROUND On April 2, 2015, SDWP submitted a grant proposal in response to the DOL s $500,000 Funding Opportunity Announcement for Local Workforce Investment Boards to develop and operate a specialized America s Job Center of California (AJCC) inside local correctional facilities. SDWP s program design represents a partnership between the San Diego County Sheriff s Department and San Diego County Probation Department to build a job center in the East Mesa Reentry Facility (EMRF) and a satellite job center at the South County Probation Office (SCPO). The DOL will notify SDWP if the proposal has been selected between April May SDWP and our partners are interested in this model with or without the DOL grant dollars. Employment plays a critical role in recidivism reduction for the offender population. In a 2011 report, CDCR found a 71.5% recidivism rate for 7,448 paroled participants in San Diego compared to the statewide rate of 65.1%. 1 Improving local reentry and workforce outcomes requires SDWP, the County Sheriff and Probation Departments, and other partners to better align and integrate services across the criminal justice and public workforce systems. The guiding principles of Reentry Works San Diego are: Team-based case management by developing a joint reentry plan with all program partners to provide services both pre- and post-release; Peer-to-peer learning models, entrepreneurial development, career coaching, and data informed assessments, our program design provides the tools, resources, and support for a successful reentry process driven by the individual; and Job development must focus on those employers willing to hire the formerly incarcerated with a data-driven job development philosophy that will turn pre-release services into post-release jobs

14 For the purpose of this RFP SDWP is interested in funding bidders that demonstrate experience and effectiveness in areas including but not limited to: Providing programs on-site at correctional and probation-based facilities; Working in partnership with criminal justice system entities; Understanding the target population of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals; and Facilitating specialized job center activities for justice involved individuals, including case management, business services, job readiness workshops, leveraging vocational training opportunities. The RFP will be based on the following principles: A Letter of Intent to Bid will be requested from potential bidders; Bidders must propose serving all participants as outlined in the grant proposal; Bidders must describe their program design and experience as it relates to the proposal; Funding will be available up to $434,758 if SDWP is successful in DOL s competitive grant process; Bidders are responsible for all wrap around services pre- and post-release including but not limited to Intake/Eligibility, Case Management, and Job Development; and Bidders must propose the development opportunities with employers that are likely to hire formerly incarcerated.

15 Item #8: APC Workgroup Updates MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 9, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President & Chief Programs Officer INFORMATIONAL ITEM - NO ACTION REQUIRED During the 2013 strategic planning process, the APC formed three workgroups to provide direction and guidance on three of the APC s strategic priorities: 1) Increase Earn and Learn opportunities for San Diego residents; 2) Improve services to business customers; and 3) Build a better, more aligned service delivery system with partners. Over the last few months, each of these workgroups has been reconvened and is working toward specifics goals. The workgroups include: Earn and Learn Workgroup Business Services Workgroup Partnerships Workgroup Workgroup leads will provide an update on progress against goals/objectives for discussion by the entire APC.

19 Attachment B Business Services Workgroup Summary Last Update - 4/15/2015 Over the last several months, the Business Services Workgroup has met several times to set the priorities for the public workforce system s business services under WIOA. Below are the five draft priorities the Workgroup has come up with. 1. Single entry point for business customers: Today, the public workforce system engages employers by program, with different people from different organizations calling employers to hire their participants. WIOA legislative intent flips this model and requires a demand driven approach to business services. San Diego s public workforce system must engage businesses under a common strategy with a coordinated sales force. Businesses simply need for their talent needs to be met. They don t need to know about each individual program we administer. 2. Efficiency and measurable continuous improvement: Ineffective tactics will hinder wellthought out strategies. We must make our processes, procedures, and interactions with business customers simple, clear, effective, and fast. This means revising policies, using technology, simplifying forms, and clear communications with business customers. 3. Unified Brand and Outreach Efforts: Many different public sector programs engage businesses and develop jobs for program participants. SDWP s sits at the center of many of these efforts across the AJCCs and could support the region through a unified branding effort, outreach material, and region-wide strategy. 4. Focus on priority sectors: While the business services unit will seek to serve all businesses in-need of service, our training investments and staff focus will be on closing the skills gaps identified by data in our priority sectors. 5. Accountability and Measurement: The business services strategy must be measured for effectiveness and improvement. A business service dashboard will be developed that includes key indicators including, but not limited to: # of business served, repeat business customers, speed of service, quality of service (customer. satisfaction), and other key measures. This dashboard will be reviewed during business services workgroup meetings to understand effectiveness, coarse correct, and inform future strategies and initiatives. 17

20 Item #9: WIOA Update MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 9, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President & Chief Programs Officer INFORMATIONAL ITEM - NO ACTION REQUIRED Andy Hall will bring forward a draft version of the region s guiding principles (attachment) for discussion, feedback, and input from the APC. These draft guiding principles are based on Committee and Workgroup work, WIOA legislative intent, partner feedbacks, and SDWP s leadership team internal planning. Final guiding principles will be incorporated into the strategic planning retreats of the APC, Youth Council, and WIB in August and September. The strategic planning process in August/September will focus on operationalizing these guiding principles and will serve as the center piece of the four year WIOA unified plan. ATTACHMENT A: San Diego Key Tenets for WIOA Implementation 18

21 Attachment A SDWP Draft Version: 4/15/2015 San Diego Key Tenets for WIOA Implementation 1. Punching tickets to the middle class for ALL San Diegans: We need to focus on where we can add the most value to our community. SDWP is not well-positioned to impact positive change at the highest levels of the education system, nor should SDWP focus on self-sufficiency. We are about creating pathways to the middle class for all residents and closing the growing middle-skills gap. 2. Human-centered approach to service design: We must organize services around customer needs, not programmatic requirements. Whether it is employers, jobseekers, or youth, programs don t matter, people do. 3. Single entry point for business customers: Today, the public workforce system engages employers by program, with different people from different organizations calling employers to hire their participants. Legislative intent flips this model and requires a demand driven approach to business services. San Diego s public workforce system must engage businesses under a common strategy with a coordinated sales force. Businesses simply need for their talent needs to be met. 4. Increase service access points: Through co-location, service integration with system partners, and the development of meaningful remote access points, we must create more on-ramps into the public talent development system. 5. Less money spent on bricks and mortar, more invested in people: Through shared and leveraged infrastructure, integrated staffing models, and expanded use of technology, SDWP must reduce money spent on bricks and mortar and invest more in people. 6. The WIB is more than the programs we fund: WIBs serve as a key convening body for broader workforce development efforts and initiatives, providing the broader system with direction, tools, and connections for the region to move forward in the same direction. We must set measurable goals for our convening value proposition and invest in achieving them. 7. Efficiency and measurable continuous improvement: Ineffective tactics will hinder well-thought out strategies. We must continuously improve the system s processes, policies, and professionalism to achieve the vision and intent of WIOA. 8. Data informed and driven: Develop systems that define and measure success. Tools such as a dashboard to report out on WIB s key priorities will enable us to define the needles we want to move as a system and measure progress toward those goals. This performance dashboard should go beyond common measures and be aligned with the WIB s strategic priorities. 9. Private dollar innovates and tests new models, public dollars scale and sustain: As philanthropy, socially-minded investors, and corporations continue to pivot toward workforce development, private dollars should be used to innovate and iterate while public dollars can sustain and scale proven concepts.

22 Item #10: Performance Summary for Period Ending March 30, America's Job Centers of California (AJCC) MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 16, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President & Chief Programs Officer INFORMATIONAL ITEM - NO ACTION REQUIRED Staff will be providing a performance summary for the 3 rd Quarter Period ending March 30, 2015, for the America s Job Centers of California (AJCC) BACKGROUND On May 5, 2014 SDWP and its Adult and Youth Service Providers transitioned from Customer Information Services Reporting System ( CISRS ) to the California State's New CalJOBS ( CalJOBS ) system for all case management and data collection needs. The performance summary that staff will present is based on the California Employment Development Department s (EDD) predictive reports, which are designed to measure midprogram year performance. Since there have been changes to how information is entered and reported between CISRS and CalJOBS, it is important that SDWP and the AJCC Network begin to review EDD predictive performance data to understand how these changes can affect our current and future contracts. 3 rd Quarter performance data is still being analyzed and was not ready at the time of publication of the agenda packet. A supplemental attachment will be supplied to the APC at the meeting on April 23, 2015, which will include Entered Employment, Exits and Placements, and Credential Attainment, as well as demographic data for currently enrolled Adult and Dislocated Workers. ATTACHMENTS Attachment A: To be provided at the meeting 20

23 Item #11: Performance Summary - Bridge to Employment Program MEETING DATE: April 23, 2015 REVISION DATE: April 7, 2015 TO: FROM: Adult Programs Committee Andy Hall Vice President & Chief Programs Officer INFORMATIONAL ITEM - NO ACTION REQUIRED This informational item serves as a performance update on the Bridge to Employment in the Healthcare Industry (BTE) program through March 31, BACKGROUND The BTE program is a five-year demonstration grant awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services. BTE serves Temporary Assistance for Needy Families recipients and other low-income individuals, funding training in a variety of allied health professions and developing a regional strategy that addresses the workforce development needs of the healthcare industry. The period of performance for the grant is September 30, 2010 September 29, ANALYSIS In the first two quarters of this program year, all navigators have concentrated on reaching the Year 5 enrollment goals in order to ensure adequate time for new participants to receive training and job search support. At a grantee level, enrollments have surpassed the cumulative target of 2,550 participants enrolled over the life of the grant. Nearly 2,700 participants have enrolled in BTE over the five-year period. Training completions have posed a substantial challenge for navigators in Year 5. At a grantee level, training completions fall just below 95% of project to date targets. Over 180 placements in healthcare employment have occurred between September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2015, an increase of over 40% compared to the same timeframe in Year 4. Below is a summary of each navigator s project to date performance on the key performance indicators: MAAC East is performing above 95% of target for enrollment and healthcare employment. Performance on training completion is at 90%. MAAC South is performing above 95% of target for enrollment and healthcare employment. Performance on training completion is at 93%. CTS (Metro) are performing above 95% of target for enrollment, training completion, and healthcare employment. North County Lifeline is performing above 95% of target for enrollment. Performance on training completion is at 93% and healthcare employment at 90%. North County Lifeline s project to date performance on training completion and healthcare employment fell below the corrective action threshold in the first quarter of Year 5. In accordance with its Corrective Action Policy, SDWP placed North County Lifeline on corrective action warning on February 20, Performance on both measures remains below the corrective action threshold for the second quarter of Year 5. 21

24 SDWP continues to provide technical assistance to all navigators on performance management and closeout strategy. Trainings were held with each navigator in late February and early March to review data entry procedures necessary for capturing performance. Navigators have requested and received various trainings and reports to help them address specific needs and concerns to ensure that all five-year goals are met.
