If applicable, please include a copy of the Work Based Learning policy as Attachment I D. Will your agency take youth to real companies /businesses to become acquainted with the various employment industries. No other organizations in Orange County provide as many hours of work experience —up to 28 hours a week. Corpsmembers participate in on- the -job training in a variety of industries throughout the county. They do not simply visit companies and businesses in various industries; they work there. Corpsmembers have done externships in many industries, including the hospitality /tourism industry at local hotels, spas, and restaurants. They have also participated in a partnership with the Fullerton Arboretum on the campus of California State University Fullerton and local social enterprise Monkey Business Cafe, which benefits foster youth, called "Farm to Table." Corpsmembers work both on the arboretum's farm and at the cafe, developing a strong connection between where food grows and the process involved in delivering it to the table. OCCC crews provide recycling services to many companies and businesses, including Downtown Disney. We have Corpsmembers working at a number of CVS Pharmacies, exposing them to the field of healthcare. Corpsmembers have worked at the Santa Ana One Stop Center, exposing them to all kinds of career opportunities. Additionally, we have partnered with Vital Link services that provide hands -on career exploration experiences for youth, helping them carve out their own unique career path. Trips and tours of local businesses help youth sort through their interests, get excited, and "try on" a career for a day. E. Will youth have the opportunity to meet or hear from real employers. Corpsmembers and students have many opportunities to hear from employers. They have opportunities to attend job fairs and attend career exploration workshops. Corpsmembers participating in on- the -job training receive feedback and evaluations from their employers and supervisors regularly. EXHIBIT A 13
