EXHIBIT 1 <br />ATTACHMENT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />1. Scope of Services <br />A. Background and Purpose <br />The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires partnerships under California's State <br />Plan as the primary mechanism for aligning education and training services with regional industry sector <br />needs in California's fifteen WIOA Regional Planning Units. California state law requires coordination <br />between K-12, Community Colleges and WIOA systems and requires the use of sector strategies as the <br />operational framework for the state's workforce system. <br />The purpose of this Contract is to provide Regional Workforce Training Services under the Regional Equity <br />and Recovery Partnerships (RERP) grant and by the Orange County Workforce Development Board <br />(OCWDB) and its Subrecipients for workforce services in the region. The Orange Workforce Alliance <br />(OWA) (formerly Orange Regional Planning Unit) consists of the Orange County Workforce Development <br />Board (OCWDB), Anaheim Workforce Development Board (AWDB), and Santa Ana Workforce <br />Development Board (SAWDB). The Orange Workforce Alliance will work to accelerate and deepen <br />existing regional efforts that support regional system alignment, partnerships, and regional programs that <br />achieve economic growth, economic equity, shared prosperity and a clean environment. The RERP grant <br />focuses on strengthening the relationship with Orange County community colleges and businesses by <br />creating short-term targeted education interventions to increase workforce preparation and participation for <br />targeted populations in priority industry sectors. <br />B. Subrecipient Responsibilities <br />1. Service Requirements <br />The Subrecipient, in partnership with the Orange County Workforce Development Board (OCWDB) and <br />Anaheim Workforce Development Board (AWDB), under the OWA will work to establish and facilitate <br />regional goals and objectives; develop regional strategies, policies, and programs as part of regional <br />planning and infrastructure development; focus on targeted populations, communities, and/or WIOA <br />activities as a key partner in the state identified Regional Planning Unit. Regional efforts through the RERP <br />grant will develop programs for targeted populations that include English language learners, first generation <br />college students, and immigrants. The two priority sectors identified for this project with a substantial <br />current and potential impact on the regional economy based on labor market information include health <br />care and information technology. <br />The OWA will collaborate with Coastline College, North Orange County Continuing Education, Santa Ana <br />College, and Saddleback College to support the program development and enrollment of target populations <br />in Medical Laboratory Technician, Cybersecurity, Supply Chain Management, Amazon Web Services, and <br />Introduction to Information Technology programs.
