Status:
Approve the proposed Agreement No. 2007-2008-CR-2332 RATE for implementation of the Responsibility, Awareness, Training, Employment, and Empowerment (RATE) In School and Out-of- School Youth Program.
The Year Round in School and Out of School Responsibility, Awareness, Training, Employment, and Empowerment (RATE) Youth Program includes occupational training, academic instruction integrated with job-specific training, related support services, job placement assistance, and intensive case management. In school youth will be enrolled as seniors at alternative centers and out-of-school youth will be enrolled at a technical center in a workforce education program that meets his or her occupational goals, skills and abilities. Program participants must have or be working to obtain a high school diploma or GED. All students will be provided the occupational and soft (leadership, communication, problem solving, teamwork, critical thinking, organizational, interpersonal and social) skills needed to successfully secure a high wage/high skill job. The program will serve 177 youth, 18-21 years of age.
The various proposals submitted to WorkForce One serve economically disadvantaged students, but the student selection criteria differ from program to program. This program serves participants who are high school seniors and out-of-school youth.
The School District has operated a similar program since the 2000-2001 school year. WorkForce One evaluates the program. All performance measures continuously meet or exceed the evaluation benchmarks. The performance measures include: the enrollment of the required number of students who meet the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) eligibility criteria, student attainment of WIA Youth Goals, students completing a minimum of five months of occupational and skills training, students receiving a certificate of completion in the occupational training program, students increasing basic skills levels by a minimum of one grade, students placed into a training related job and the number of students who remain employed for a minimum of six months.
This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form by the School Board Attorney.
The financial impact is $473,163. The source of funds is WorkForce One. There is no additional financial impact to the District.
