2018-19 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center <br />Youth Employment Program - WIOA Proposal <br />is crucial for all youth participating in the program because it will allow them to learn about <br />various academic paths, including vocational training, HS recovery programs and 4-year <br />institutions, while narrowing down a career of interest and actually committing to a <br />program. In addition, all participants will be provided with tutoring, psychological <br />counseling (if needed), and other important support services. OCCTA's environment is very <br />nurturing, fun and supportive, and provides youth opportunities to maintain a high level of <br />involvement in our programs. WIOA youth are supported emotionally throughout the <br />entire year at OCCTAC, and are provided with a positive and welcoming environment that <br />also encourages youth to partake on various leadership roles within the various programs <br />and activities at our agency. These additional activities provide youth with an opportunity <br />to gain self-confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills, and also experience a safe haven <br />at our center. Our goal is to empower youth and provide a life changing opportunity <br />through this WIOA program! <br />5. Paid & Unpaid Work Experience: <br />A. Describe in detail the paid and unpaid work experience opportunities that will be offered <br />to the youth such as, Summer employment, Pre -apprenticeship programs, Internships or <br />job shadowing, and On -the -Job training opportunities. <br />Youth will engage in weekly "hands-on" work experience and job training opportunities at <br />our agency and other community sites. The following tables (Tables 4, 5 & 6), demonstrate <br />the variety of programs that we offer at OCCTAC and at offs!te work experience locations. <br />WIOA participants can choose from any of these programs/fields to fulfill their career goals <br />and work experience.
