As the Service Navigator, the SAWC brings to the YSPN over 30 years of extensive experience <br />administering a variety of Federal and State funded programs. Staff is well versed in both <br />programmatic and fiscal requirements. As an on-going effort, the SAWC has made it a priority to <br />keep staff updated and trained on all State and Federal workforce legislation pertinent to various <br />targeted programs. Since the inception of the YSPN, the SAWC has been instrumental in helping <br />the Network meet the required performance measures through consistent oversight and guidance <br />in intake, eligibility, case management, exit, and follow-up. Moreover, through its partnership <br />with local businesses and organizations, the SAWC has a comprehensive realm of services and <br />resource available to the YSPN and the youth they enroll. <br />The SAWC will maintain communication with the youth Service Providers during the life of the <br />contract by coordinating monthly meetings with all Service Providers for program, legislation, <br />MIS/JTA paperwork updates, and to address any questions or concerns they may have. <br />Individual meetings with Service Providers will also be arranged to assist and address individual <br />issues or questions. The SAWC will assist with the marketing, recruitment, outreach, and <br />placement efforts of the YSPN. Ultimately the SAWC's goal is to provide the assistance and <br />tools necessary to allow the Service Providers to focus on providing streamlined services to the <br />youth of Santa Ana.
