Special consideration will be given to organizations that can prepare youth for targeted <br />in- demand industries as identified in the SAWIB's five year plan: <br />This WIOA program will have a variety of supportive partnerships to guide youth into in- <br />demand career fields. Youth interns interested in pursuing careers in manufacturing will have the <br />opportunity to work with artisan manufacturers at the People's Soap Company or to pursue a <br />career in a variety of construction related careers though referrals to the OC Labor Federation. <br />Those interested in healthcare and social services fields will work closely with the OC Chapter <br />of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses to identify employers that can utilize the intern's <br />digital media training. These interns will also have the opportunity to intern at the LGBT Center <br />to help them provide social services to their populations. <br />As a result of the proximity to several downtown hospitality and entertainment businesses the <br />interns will have a number of nearby options to pursue after their training. Marcas Gallery, and <br />MC Gallery have agreed to host and train interns from this program in the requirements needed <br />to run art related businesses. Additional entertainment options include positions at Downtown <br />Inc. and the online ticketing /event company EventFire. Interns aged 21 and over will also have <br />the option to intern with event coordinators at the Copper Door as part of their social media <br />team. Environmentally interested interns will be able to work with the Santa Ana Zoo and <br />Heritage house on promoting and implementing sustainability programs at each site. <br />As part of their training, youth will be trained to provide digital media support and promotion for <br />all the above industries. Additionally, youth will be trained to work in the government sector <br />that has many of the components of the above industries, such as recreation centers, library, and <br />public works. <br />C. Special Consideration for organizations that offer job training /preparation in the <br />industries of: 1. Science, 2.Technology, 3. Engineering, 4. The Arts, 5. Math <br />The Digital Media Institute will prepare interns to enter a wide range of STEAM - related <br />industries by providing them a solid foundation in how to capture, edit, and distribute media <br />content for their employer. This training will introduce the interns to real world applications for <br />digital media technology within a flexible framework that can be applied across different <br />industries.
