EXHIBIT 1 2018-19 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center Youth Employment Program - WIOA Proposal D. Describe in detail how the program will prepare youth for postsecondary education and training. The WIOA case manager and career counselor meet regularly with each WIOA youth to discuss job leads, employment opportunities and post -secondary education. The case manager helps youth with employment, and the career counselor helps youth with entering post -secondary education. The Educational Counselor will assess all youth using ONET to learn about their career preference, interests and skills, and then match them with carriers of their choice. Youth will then be able to obtain assistance in researching different majors, vocational training and certificate programs that will allow them to enter into post secondary education in their field of Interest and succeedl The Educational Counselor will also provide assistance in completing all necessary financial aid or dream act applications, such as scholarships to minimize any stress and anxiety on financial burdens. E. How will your organization expose youth to the various post -secondary educational Institutions (colleges, universities, vocational training schools, apprenticeships, etc.). All year round, the WIOA youth attend field trips to the various colleges and universities so they can get motivated and encouraged to enroll in any of these institutions with the help of the case manager and the career/educational counselor at OCCTAC. All certificate programs are taught at our facility. Currently we offer WIOA participants 2 state certificate programs at our agency: Child Care Worker Certificate and the Office Clerk/Executive Administrative Certificate Programs. Please see below (Table 8) for a brief description of these certificate programs in partnership with the Santa Ana College. Furthermore, we are in the process of incorporating a new Health Certificate program at OCCTAC, in partnership with the California School of Health Sciences, an Institute owned by one of our new Board of Directors. OCCTAC is always looking for new and exciting opportunities to expand the level of education and job opportunities for our WIOA participantsl Table 8 - State Certificate Programs at OCCTAC in partnership with the Santa Ana College PROGRA "- kw. r.en ��",'��, 'Br�ESCRI� �'W r_: =yj_ara`ys/Tim zi fv` s Office Clerk State Certificate This program prepares students for in-depth training In Monday and Program executive secretary/administrative assistant positions.
