Career Training Objective
The Vocational Nursing program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary for an entry-level
licensed vocational nurse position in a medical office, clinic, health -maintenance organization (HMO), acute care hospital,
long-term care facility or other health care setting.
Vocational nursing students develop knowledge and skills to provide direct care to patients/clients under the supervision of a
physician, dentist or registered nurse (RN) in a variety of health care settings, such as hospitals, long-term convalescent care
facilities, and home health agencies. Vocational nursing students learn direct patient care, assessment, diagnostic
measurements and procedures and treatments. The combined academic and clinical training prepares vocational nursing
students to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-PN) for licensure as a practical/vocational nurse meeting
the standards set by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians. Those that pass qualify for entry-level
employment as Licensed Vocational Nurses.
The training program is divided into terms approximately 13 weeks in length (20 weeks for evening/weekend). Each term is
comprised of prescribed units of study that build upon each other. Students begin their training in Term 1 and progress
sequentially through each term until all terms have been successfully completed. Completion of the Vocational Nursing

shall be reported directly and immediately to the City of Santa Ana and the Secretary of
Labor."
II. General Procedures for Handling Non -Criminal Violations of the Act
The following procedure is promulgated to meet the requirements of Title 20, of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Section 186 through 188 of the WIOA regulations, and Section 181 of the
Act (Public Law 105.200: 29 U.S. Code Sec. 2931 et seq.) at the State and LWDA level for the
receipt, investigation, hearing, and resolution of complaints by WIOA participants, sub
EXHIBIT H
recipients, applicants for participation, or financial assistance, labor unions, community based
organizations, or any other persons.
These procedures provide for resolution of non -criminal complaints arising from the operation of
the Santa Ana LWDA.
A complaint is defined here as a written expression by a party alleging a violation of the Act,
regulations promulgated under the Act, recipient grants, sub agreements, or other specific
agreements under the Act, including terms and conditions of employment of such participants in
employment training programs. All complaints, amendments and withdrawals shall be in
writing. These procedures are intended to resolve matters which concern policies, procedures
or action(s) arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by each LWDA grant recipient
and sub recipient under the Act.
These procedures shall not be construed as affecting any other available legal remedy outside
of the WIOA complaint process (i.e., disputes regarding terms and conditions of employment of
any employee who is not a participant), either separately or simultaneously, that a person may
wish to pursue in the resolution of a non-WIOA complaint. Also, these procedures do not
restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion
Procedures do not restrict the LWDA grant recipient staff in carrying out informal discussion and
resolution of any problems outside of and without resort to the formal complaint procedure.
A. The following principles and rules apply to all complaints at all steps of the complaint
procedures:
All complaints must be made in writing within 180 days of the alleged occurrence,
except complaints alleging fraud or criminal activity.
2. All persons filing a complaint shall be free from restraint, coercion, reprisal, or
discrimination. Good faith efforts shall be made to informally resolve the complaint
prior to the scheduled hearing. Complainants have the right to withdraw their
complaints (in writing) at any time prior to the hearing. A complainant may amend
his/her complaint to correct technical deficiencies but not to add issues.
3. Complainants shall have the right to be represented at their own expense by
person(s) of their choosing at all levels of the complaint process.
4. Upon enrollment into employment or training, participants shall be provided with a
written description of these procedures, including notification of their right to file
complaints and instructions for filing.
An employer of participants, including private -for -profit employers of participants, may
use this or other complaint resolution procedures so long as the participant is
informed of the complaint resolution procedure they are to follow and the time frames
governing review of complaints are met.
EXHIBIT H
A "participant", within the meaning of these procedures, is an individual who receives
employment -training services under a program funded by Santa Ana LWDA. The
Complaint Resolution Procedures contained herein (or the alternative procedures
which an employer may use) shall be available to participants to resolve disputes
regarding items and conditions of employment of such participants in employment
training programs. However, such procedures shall not be used to resolve disputes
regarding terms and conditions of employment of any employee who is not a
participant, as defined herein.
If a complaint does not receive a decision at the LWDA grant recipient level within 60
days of filing the complaint or receives an unsatisfactory decision, the complainant
then has a right to request a review of the complaint by the Governor.
6. Complainants must initially file and exhaust LWDA grant recipient/hearing procedures
prior to appealing to the State except where the State determines that the LWDA
grant recipient's procedures are not in compliance with the State's procedures.
M. Procedures for Handling Complaints at the LWDA Level
A. Receipt Complaints
Pursuant to the WIOA regulations found at 20 CFR, Section 683.600, the LWDA
administrative entities have the responsibility to conduct hearings and resolve complaints
made by individuals about the administration of programs in the LWDA. "LWDA level"
encompasses LWDA administrative entity and employers to which the administrative entity
has delegated the complaint resolution process. The following comprise the guidelines for
resolving issues arising in connection with WIOA programs operated by the Santa Ana
LWDA including resolutions of complaints arising from actions, such as audit disallowances
or the imposition of sanctions taken by the Governor with respect to audit findings,
investigations or monitoring reports.
1. Form and Filing of Compliant
Official filing date of the compliant is the date the written complaint is received. The filing
of the complaint with the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunity Officer shall
be considered as a request for hearing and a decision must be issued within 60 days.
The complaint must be in writing and must be signed and dated. The complaint should
also contain the following information:
a. Full name, telephone number, if any, and mailing address of the complainant;
b. Full name, telephone number, and mailing address of the agency involved (respondent);
c. Clear and concise statement of facts including dates constituting alleged violation;
What provisions under the Act, regulations, grant or other agreements under the Act, are
believed to have been violated;
EXHIBIT H
e. Remedy sought by the complainant; and
If the complainant is a private or public entity or corporation, and not a natural person,
the filing of the complaint must be duly authorized by the governing body of such entity
or corporation.
The absence of any of the requested information shall not be a basis for dismissing the
complaint.
A copy of the complaint must be sent to the respondent and both parties notified of the
opportunity for an informal resolution. At each step of the complaint process, the complainant
must be notified in writing of the next procedural step.
2. Informal Conference
Informal conferences will be utilized by the Santa Ana LWDA to resolve complaints;
however, such informal conferences shall not extend the time within which a decision
must be issued after receipt of a complaint. Attempts at informal resolution will
commence with two (2) weeks of the date of filing of the complaint.
a. The EEO Officer will review the case and ascertain facts prior to the conference so that
appropriate resolution can take place at the time of this meeting whenever possible.
b. Although the complainant should be encouraged to attend this conference, his/her failure
to do so should not preclude his/her right to request a hearing on the matter.
If mutually satisfactory resolution results and the Santa Ana LWDA concurs, the EEO
Officer will write a brief report for the file stating the issues and resolution. The matter
shall then be considered closed.
d. If resolution does not result, the complainant shall be provided the necessary information
and assistance to request a hearing if he/she so desires.
3. Request for Hearing
a. As in the case of the complaint, the request for a hearing should be put in writing and
be filed in person or by mail. A governing board resolution of authorization to appeal
should also be submitted when appropriate. The request should be filled with:
Jennifer Sommers
Sr. Personnel Analyst — EEO Officer
20 Civic Center Drive, M-24
Santa Ana, CA 92701
(714) 647-5348
EXHIBIT H
b. A hearing will be scheduled by the EEO Officer within thirty (30) days of the date of
filing of the complaint.
4. Notice of Hearing
Upon receipt of the request for hearing, the complainant and the respondent will be
notified in writing of the hearing ten (10) calendar days prior to the date of the hearing.
The ten-day notice may be shortened with the written consent of the parties. A decision
will be issued by the Santa Ana LWDA within sixty (60) days of the date of filing of the
complaint.
The hearing notice shall be in writing and contain the following information:
The date of notice, name of the complainant, and the name of the party against whom
the complaint is filed.
b. The date, time and place of hearing before an impartial hearing officer.
c. A statement(s) of the alleged violation(s)
d. Advise as to where information or assistance may be obtained, and the name, address,
and telephone number of the Santa Ana LWDA Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO)
Officer who can answer inquiries.
B. Conduct of Hearing
The hearing shall be conducted in an informal manner with strict rules of evidence not
applicable. Unnecessary technicalities should be avoided. It should provide the flexibility to
enable adjustment to the circumstances presented.
The hearing officer shall have complete independence to obtain facts and make
decisions. The hearing officer shall be in a position to render impartial decisions and
thus should not be subordinate to the Santa Ana LWDA or its sub recipients. The
hearing officer will be selected from a list of names on file with the EEO Officer.
2. Full regard must be given to the requirements of due process to insure a fair and
impartial hearing.
3. The hearing office designated by the EEO Officer to function in a quasi-judicial capacity
should begin the hearing by summarizing the record and the issue and should explain
the manner in which the hearing will be conducted, making sure that everyone involved
understands the proceedings. Such explanations should be adapted to the needs of the
specific situation. The hearing officer might take testimony under oath or affirmation to
give some assurance of veracity to the hearing.
10
EXHIBIT H
The burden of proof should be reasonable and flexible, dependent upon the
circumstances of the case involved. The hearing officer determines the order of proof.
Generally, the party making the complaint has the obligation of establishing his or her
case and should be examined first.
The party involved should have the right to be represented (at their own expense) if
he/she so desires. Other he/she is limited to his/her own abilities and those to the
hearing officer in obtaining testimony in the case.
6. It is important that the hearing officer obtain the fullest information for the record. If the
parties involved, or their representatives, do not know how to ask the right or pertinent
questions in pursuing their right to due process, it shall be necessary for the hearing
officer to step in to have all the materials and relevant facts elicited.
7. The practice in informal hearings is generally not to apply strict rules of evidence in
obtaining facts. However, the quantity of evidence required to support a decision on an
issue should be sufficiently credible that the state (or other appropriate agency), upon
reviewing the decision, would conclude that the decision is supported by substantial
evidence.
The hearing officer should attempt to negotiate a resolution of the issue at any time prior
to the conclusion of the hearing.
Within ten (10) days of the conclusion of the hearing, the hearing officer will issue a
recommended decision to the LWDA for final determination. The recommended decision
shall be in writing and may be accepted, rejected or modified by the Santa Ana
Workforce Development Board.
C. Issuance of Decision
Within sixty (60) calendar days of filing of the complaint, the Santa Ana LWDA shall issue a
written decision to all parties by first class mail. The final decision shall contain the following
information:
1. The name of the parties involved.
2. A statement of the alleged violation and issues related to the alleged violation.
3. A statement of the facts.
4. The decision and the reasons for the decision.
5. A statement of corrective action, if any, to be taken.
6. Notice of the right to request, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the decision, a
review of the decision by the State Review Panel.
11
EXHIBIT H
A
D. Record of Hearing
An administrative file containing support documents on the complaint resolution process
hearing conducted will be retained by the Santa Ana LWDA. The purpose of a record is to
serve as substantiation of the process followed by the Santa Ana LWDA on the resolution of
the issues and the results. This information would then be available for subsequent review
in the event the matter is raised with the State. Such records must be retained for a three-
year period after the grant has been officially closed out.
The Santa Ana LWDA's written decision will be included in the record. Evidence received at
the hearing, notes by the hearing officer, stenographer's notes and tape recordings may
also be used.
E. Establishment of Complaint Procedures
In accordance with Section 683.600, each employing agency including private -for -profit
employers of participants under the Act is required to establish a complaint procedure for
resolving matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment. Employers may
operate their own grievance system or may utilize the Santa Ana LWIDA's established
procedures under Section 683.600. At a minimum these procedures must include:
Written notice, upon enrollment into employment training services, of the scope and
availability of such procedures. Employer's grievance procedures shall be set forth in a
written document and must meet the regulation mandate that a complaint will be
resolved with sixty (60) days from the date the complaint was filed. A copy of employer's
grievance procedure shall be provided to each participant upon enrollment in
employment training.
Written notice, at the time the grievance is filed, of the procedures under which the
grievance will be processed.
3. Written notification of the disposition of the grievance and a written decision shall be
issued within thirty (30) days of the filing of the grievance unless a present and long
