2014-15 Orange County Children's Therapeutic Arts Center <br />Youth Workforce Investment Act Proposal <br />commitment in helping WIA youth with and without disabilities improve their literacy and <br />numeracy skills as evidenced in last year's outcomes (90%)! <br />Furthermore, OCCTAC's Learning Academy Program provides WIA participants the opportunity to <br />tutor younger children in our "Learning Academy Lab" so they can also apply the skills that their <br />tutors/coaches are teaching them. The learning lab is not only a great vehicle for WIA participants <br />to practice what they have learned, but also a great vehicle to enhance their self-esteem, boost <br />their confidence and learn tutoring, mentoring and leadership skills! <br />X. Mentoring/Support (not a required element of the program) <br />A. Specify how your agency will provide mentoring to youth. <br />OCCTAC offers a variety of programs and mentoring opportunities to WIA participants. Youth can <br />choose from any of these programs/fields to fulfill their career goals and work experience. WIA <br />staff and Non-WIA staff mentor the youth and provide "hands-on" work experience opportunities <br />at our agency. As mentioned previously, mentoring WIA participants is an important component <br />of our program. <br />TABLE 3: Men oring & Job TrainingPro rams at OCCTAC <br />AN" a ofd �. <br />.%b'T�tle <br />x� <br />-�Placerinent=Bc "'`t- , <br />E�ucatron��raintn <br />Prarnin _ .,, <br />_ . <br />ork Fx errenc� , rurrxCp <br />um Ste-£. <br />Health <br />Mental Health <br />OCCTAC, Pacific Clinics, <br />Pacific Clinics Curriculum <br />& case <br />Paraprofessional Worker <br />MECCA and Community Sites <br />*State Certificate Prograin <br />management <br />Child Care <br />Child Care Worker <br />Early Start Program at <br />SAC Curriculum <br />OCCTAC <br />*State Certificate Program <br />Office/Reception <br />Executive/Administrative <br />OCCTAC office <br />SAC curriculum <br />Computers <br />Assistant <br />& Community sites <br />*State Certificate Program <br />Customer Service <br />Education <br />Tutor or <br />Learning Academy at <br />OCCTAC & Host Curriculum <br />Instructional Assistant <br />OCCTAC & community sites <br />Education <br />Teaching Assistant <br />Early Intervention/ <br />First Five Early Childhood <br />Early Start Program at <br />curriculum, High Scope & "Hands <br />OCCTAC <br />on Training" <br />Arts <br />Teaching Assistant <br />After -School Arts Program <br />CA Performing Arts Standards <br />at OCCTAC <br />Curriculum and "Hands-on" Arts <br />Training <br />Technology <br />Technology Assistant <br />Computers/Media LAB at <br />SAC, Digital Media Center <br />Graphic Artist <br />OCCTAC & Santa Ana <br />OCCTAC curriculums & <br />Audio Engineer Intern <br />Business Owners <br />"Hands-on" Photoshop & Illustrator, <br />Film Production Intern <br />St, Andrews Church <br />& graphic design training <br />Ryttno & other Recording <br />Recording Technology Training <br />Studios <br />Softwares, Pro -Tools & Sybellius <br />Furthermore, WIA youth will be encouraged to participate in additional programs that we have at <br />our agency to give youth more opportunities and "hands-on" experience in a variety of fields <br />(health, education, arts and technology), so they can gain as much work experience as possible <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
