It is planned for all 20 interns to obtain a Preproduction Certificate from the RCSSD Digital Media Center by the end of the 18`h week of their training and education program. Fourteen (70 %) of the most promising students will then graduate to a more intensive apprenticeship program of training that will result in an advanced certificate, and will be eligible to participate in the paid work experience element of the program at the Santa Ana Public Library. Of the 20 youth enrolled in the program, it is anticipated that 12 youth (61 %) will attain RSCCD accredited certifications in Digital Media Technology, These youth will possess one, two or all of the following certificates: • Digital Media Technology Pre- Production Certificate • Digital Media Technician Certificate • Digital Media Technology Apprentice Certificate In addition to these certificates, we anticipate that (61%) of our youth participants who did not possess a GED certificate or high school diploma will also acquire a GED certificate or high school diploma upon completion of the program in June 2013. Continuous improvement measurement requires baseline figures from which to gauge performance. The program will begin with an objective evaluation of the interns' technical and academic skills and a survey of their own opinion of those skills. The staff will repeat these measurements at the end of each major element of the program, and determine changes required to address weaknesses on programming revealed by these measurements. This will enable staff to quickly shore up or replace program elements that are not accomplishing their intended results. Program managers from both RSCCD and the library have carefully considered the numbers and types of staff required for each class and workshop, and to provide mentoring and support services for interns as they progress through the program. The continuous improvement measurements will provide information that may suggest inadequate staffing in some areas, as will regular meetings of staff and participants. The library is obligated to replace ineffective staff, and/or provide additional staff as circumstances dictate, and has sufficient staffing to do so. These program elements will insure that students graduate from the program satisfying WIA performance goals, and better prepared for an effective working life. XII. Prior Outcomes: EXHIBIT A 25E -30
