b. Project Design Continued
Case File: Every participant will have a case file where the application and supporting documentation is kept. Their progress will be tracked and samples of their work will be kept, including career exploration, a Personal Work Plan, a log of their participation in meetings.
Support Services: Gas cards and bus passes will be provided as needed. Participants will be referred to other services (shelter/housing, childcare, getting assistance with back rent, utility bills, etc.) as required.
Program Deliverables: A participant who fully completed the program will have the opportunity to leave with:
• Individual Success Plan: Components; one three-year goal with two one-year objectives and implementation steps for each objective. Including enrolling in a skills/professional training program.
• Life Skills Certificate: Will know why building wealth is better than buying things; have tips on low-cost healthy eating; understand how to rent an apartment; have a checking account; what budget is, how to buy/lease a car; time management; • A community service experience: Most will participate in the Project: My Own Bed program where participants assemble bunk beds and install them in homes/apartments.
• Work Ready Certificate: Participant has demonstrated that they can show up on time ready to work. Has a positive attitude toward work; is a team player; able to follow directions; successfully completes tasks and assignments; and understands how to be successful in the work environment.
• Paid Work Experience: Complete up to 250 hours of paid work experience ending the time with a letter of recommendation from the Site Supervisor/Worksite Mentor.
• Trade related Certificates: Successfully completed the OSHA 10 Safety Training course, the Fall Protection Course; and has a Forklift Certificate. • Enrolled in a training program: Either with an employer, a certified apprenticeship program, a community college, or other training provider.

Placement
Employer Involvement:
• The NSBIF works with about 600 energy, construction, utilities, and manufacturing employers. We try to contact each employer at least once every 30 days to determine if they are hiring and record the job titles. As of last week of the 337 employers contacted, 169 were not hiring and 168 were hiring at total of 563 positions.
• In addition to direct canvasing, we work closely with a variety of workforce agencies and community-based organizations to support job fairs and target employer hiring sessions. Employers find new employees based on the people we are able to recruit to these events. NSBIF staff follow up with employers and participants to determine success and next steps for those not selected. • We also have a group of placement agencies that we work and refer participants to them for placement.
Job Placement Services:
• Direct placement: As described before in outreach, one of the recruitment tactics of this proposal is to identify people who are unemployed and under-employed and determine if they have experience and capability to move directly into a higher paying job as a result of being selected at a job fair or targeted employer hiring event.
• Work Experience to Placement: In some cases participants who have been placed in paid work experience will be hired by their work experience work-site host. • Training & Work: In some cases people have to work and would like to go into a skills training program as well. Apprenticeship programs are ideal for this as the participant is paid to learn on the job and go to school. In other cases, a person will go to school and find a job that allows him/her to do so. Several training programs are offered on weekends and evenings to make it more convenient for participants. • Placement into Employment as a capstone the program: Some participants will need some time to learn and develop before being placed into full time enrollment. For these participants, their case manager and the job developer will work with them to identify the right job through being selected.
Follow-up: Once a person is placed into unsubsidized work, follow-up services begin. The case manager will follow-up withing 30 days of placement. Employers and new hires are encouraged to contact the case manager for support prior to this time if there is a need (car breaks down, emergency childcare, etc.) Follow-up continues after 60 days and 90 days, 6 months, 12 ITEM 14.8.

months and 18 months. Note that the NSBIF has the funds to make the follow-up contacts to those placed into training and employment, at the 12 month and 18 month past the end of the projects.
c. Past Performance and Planned Outcomes
The North State Building Industry Foundation has been providing workforce development employment and training services since 2007 for the building industry in the Greater Sacramento area.
Our performance metrics for the programs that most closely align with the program we are proposing for Rancho Cordova are below. The North State Building Industry Association Foundation consistently meets or exceeds the goals set by the organizations we work with in the community.

• Strategy for monitoring and measuring performance and outcomes. NSBIF uses an HR Placement database to hold all contact information of possible participants. This information is collected at registration for events, website and other social media inquiries. We use Excel spreadsheets to control the progress of interested people to become applicants, and so on. A case management system is used to document all support services provided and contain case notes. We use an Excel file to track followup services. • The following information will be collected and shared in the reports. Specifically, • Percentage of participants who started the program,
• Percentage of participants completed training,
• Percentage of participants completed the training and obtained a certificate or credential,
ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 4
NSBIF Proposal 13 10.21.22
• Percentage of participants have entered employment “undefined” (6, 12 and 18 months after program completion),
• Percentage of participants who have entered into “training related” employment (6, 12 and 18 months after program completion)
• Number of apprenticeships or internships received (where applicable), • Total jobs retained,
• Average salary increase,
• Percentage of participants employed,
• Percentage of participants employed in Rancho Cordova. d. Partnerships:
• Describe the collaborative partnerships you will use to implement the program. As previously discussed, we will be working with different organizations and people at different phases of the project.
o Outreach: The organizations listed on page 6 will be asked to share information about the program and advertise job fair events with their customers, parishioners, clients, participants, and members. We will also attend other community events to distribute information.
o During the orientation, intake, and work readiness-life skills-job search preparation phases we will be holding these sessions at City Hall, the libraries, churches, and restaurants with meeting rooms, as needed and as space is available. o We will contact the appropriate agency or community organization to provide specific support services needs like childcare, mental health services, housing/shelter, etc.
o Job Fairs and Targeted Employer events will be held in parking lots, and public buildings like the Hagan Community Center, the Rancho Cordova Library, City Hall, Churches like St. John Vienney or outdoors in parks.
o Placement in Training and Employment: We will contact employers directly to refer participants and will contact the various training programs to enroll participants in training.
o Follow-up: We will work with employers, faculty, and participants to assess retention and success in training and on the job.

The following is a description of the NSBIF’s income projected for FY22-23 for all Foundation projects. In the budget section there is a delineation of in-kind contributions for this proposal.
6. Conflict of Interest Statement
The NSBIF has a close interlocking relationship with the North State Building Industry Association (BIA) a 501(c)(6) Trade Association. The BIA has an ongoing relationship with the City in discussion about new home building projects, fees, and regulations related to home building. At present there is no issue that the BIA is dealing with the City that would present a Conflict of Interest with the NSBIF and its relation with the City.

1 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT’S REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors
North State Building Industry
Association
Roseville, California
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the North State Building Industry Association and Affiliates (Association), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2021, and the related consolidated statements of activities, functional expenses and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. A review includes primarily applying analytical procedures to management’s financial data and making inquiries of entity management. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.
Accountant’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to conduct the review engagement in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of the AICPA. Those standards require us to perform procedures to obtain limited assurance as a basis for reporting whether we are aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We believe that the results of our procedures provide a reasonable basis for our conclusion.
We are required to be independent of the Association and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements related to our review.
Accountant’s Conclusion
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

2 Supplementary Information
The 2021 supplementary information included on pages 17 and 19 are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. The information is the representation of management. We have reviewed the information and, based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the information in order for it to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have not audited the information and, accordingly, do not express an opinion on such information.
Report on 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Information The 2020 consolidated financial statements, excluding Shelter Providers of Sacramento, Inc., d.b.a HomeAid Sacramento (HomeAid), were audited by us, and we expressed an unmodified opinion on them in our report dated April 29, 2021. In addition, the 2020 supplementary information, excluding HomeAid, contained on pages 18 and 20 was subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Our report stated that the information was fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements or on the supplementary information since April 29, 2021.
We did not audit the 2020 financial statements of HomeAid, an affiliated, consolidated nonprofit organization controlled by the North State Building Industry Association, which statements reflected total assets constituting 31% and total revenues constituting 22% of consolidated totals as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020. Those statements were audited by other accountants, whose report had been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for HomeAid, was based solely on the report of the other accountants.

Career Technical Education At Regional
Community Colleges
What is Career Technical Education?
Career Technical Education (CTE) is a term for
educational programs that specialize in the skilled
trades, applied arts and sciences, modern technologies, and career preparation. A key element of these
programs is how coursework integrates academic
knowledge with technical and career readiness skills,
preparing students with the skills they need to launch
into a career.
CTE Programs help students apply the abstract
concepts and theories from academic coursework to
real world situations, providing them with practical, and relevant skills that will make them more employable
upon graduation. CTE programs often provide students
with opportunities to gain work experience through
internships, work-based learning, and industrycertification opportunities. CTE offers a wide range of learning experiences spanning many different career
tracks, including skilled trades such as, automotive
technology, construction, welding, and solar
technology.

This could mean significant new opportunities for women and other underrepresented individuals in nontraditional jobs to access well-paid, career-track jobs that provide economic security and enable them to support themselves and their families. Ensuring that more women are aware of and supported in entering nontraditional jobs is critical not only to achieving economic equity for women and their families but also to building a competitive workforce.
In the United States, there are around 879,000 cybersecurity professionals in the workforce and an unfilled need for another 359,000 workers (Duffy, 2021). The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that Information Security Analyst will be the 10th fastest growing occupation over the next decade, with an employment growth rate of 31% compared to the 4% average growth rate for all occupations. Global demand for computer science, cybersecurity, and information security professionals and personnel has been mounting for decades and has reached a critical point. Burning Glass reports that 13% of all IT jobs today are found in security (2019). The shortage of cybersecurity professionals is well documented and reported 2021, there were 72,000+ open job positions in California and 503,000+ positions nationally.
Furthermore, it was projected that business losses from cybercrime would top $6 trillion in 2021 according to a report by Cybersecurity Ventures. Up until the last few years attacks have been targeted on larger businesses. While the disruption of the country’s largest pipeline for refined oil products caught many people by surprise. The average payment by victims of ransomware jumped 31% in the second quarter compared to the same time period in 2020, according to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation. The most vulnerable are small businesses because they lack the resources. In particular healthcare, small government agencies, financial institutions, education and energy and utility companies are at the greatest risk.
Conversely, the number of unfilled IT and cybersecurity jobs is expected to grow by 350 percent to 3.5 million in 2021 contributing to greater risks. In light of the ongoing threats and tech talent gap perpetuated by the devastating impacts of Covid-19. Of 72,123 current California cybersecurity job openings, 95% are in the private sector. There needs to be an emphasis on critical engagement, strong ties, and connections with industry to design education and workforce development programs to meet these significant workforce needs. We can better understand what industry seeks from ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 5

Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (FCCP) is submitting this grant application to be considered for funding by the City of Rancho Cordova to provide comprehensive, holistic and metrics-based employment services that targets jobseekers of Rancho Cordova at its Job Center, located at 10826 Gadsten Way, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670.
FCCP has been serving the community of Rancho Cordova for over 29 years and is the only east Sacramento County provider to offer comprehensive services necessary to assist individuals and families to achieve self-sufficiency. Over the years, FCCP has created a “One Stop” approach to bring together resources and programming in our Job Center and Family Resource Center, which supports Rancho Cordova families by saving time, money on transportation costs and providing access critical services to meet their needs, reach their employment goals and improve their quality of life.
FCCP proposed project aligns with the goals of City of Rancho Cordova by promoting the richness of the city’s assets by ensuring safe communities while empowering responsible citizens within City boundaries. The City is supported by regional leadership that builds the financial portfolio by addressing financial challenges and recruits diverse economic opportunities and was designated one of the country's top 10 most diverse cities in 2010 and continues to boast a large immigrant and the refugee community. Currently, the City of Rancho Cordova is grappling with a large number of unemployed, homeless and at risk of homelessness. Rancho Cordova’s unemployment rate is at 3.7% as of August 2022, which is consistent with the National average at 3.7%. While there is opportunity to work, Rancho Cordova has a poverty rate of 11.6% which rivals the National average at 12.8%. Women ages 25 -34 are the largest group living in poverty followed closely by men ages 25-34. Evenmore critical is the growing number of unhoused individuals as documented in the 2022 Point-in-Time Count report, which showed an increase of 2 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
67% from the 2019 results of homeless individuals, families and youth in Sacramento. Currently, out of 9,278, approximately 160 are living in Rancho Cordova. Black individuals are 3 to 4 times more likely to experience homelessness and 58% of individuals report having at least one disability.
FCCP has been operating one of nine American Job Centers in Sacramento in Rancho Cordova since 2015 on the campus of the Folsom Cordova Unified School District’s Adult Education.
FCCP’s Job Center has been providing individualized career services including program eligibility, comprehensive assessments, and customized case management for various training programs, resulting in a 90% completion rate in Occupational Skills Sector Initiative (OSSI) and Occupational Sector Training (OST). During these 7 years, FCCP was able to provide technology access for job seekers, assistance with workforce preparation activities including resume preparation and interviewing skills, job search assistance and employer recruitments. On average we have recorded over 200 job seekers monthly seeking basic and case management support. FCCP’s Job Center focuses on the following zip codes, 95670, 95742, 95655, 95827, 95630, 95670 and 95742 which include some of the highest poverty neighborhoods and surrounded within 5-mile radius by Williamson Elementary School,White Rock Elementary and Cordova Villa. FCCP’s Job Center is located centrally within these neighborhoods, easily accessible by foot and public transportation and ideally situated to serve Rancho Cordova residents.
With FCCP’s Job Center success providing employment training and job placement treatment, we were able to expand services to be able to serve underserved and hard to reach populations such as individuals with disabilities and recently settled refugees in the area. In collaboration with Sacramento Employment Training Agency, we have been able to implement and build on our workforce programs to include training and job placement programs for individuals with disabilities and recently settled refugees in America.
FCCP was established in 1992 and currently has 38 employees and will have a total of 9 employees working on the Rancho Cordova Job Center project. Please refer to Section 8 Supportive Information for FCCP’s financial audit report and gross/net revenue reports for the 2020/2021 FY and 2021/2022 FY.

FCCP has provided Rancho Cordova high school students with on-site Youth Career Centers at Cordova, WalnutWood and Kinney High School campuses for over 4 years. These Youth Career Centers have provided staff assisted services to help students explore career pathways, develop 9 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
career plans, build career readiness skills, and connect to workplace experiences in the local business community through internships, training and part time employment. In the first year of funding FY 2018-2019, FCCP assisted 89 students with the above activities with a resulting in ten jobs achieved. In FY 2019-2020, FCCP increased unduplicated students to 97 and FY 2020-2021 increased to 101 unduplicated students served. In the FY 2021-2022 program year, 115 unduplicated students were served resulting in 19 job placements.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international organization that conducts research to inform better policies and lives, examined longitudinal studies that explored the relationship between teenagers’ occupational aspirations and what actually happens to them in the adult labor market, and found that teenagers who combine full-time study with part-time work can expect to do better in the adult job market. Young people who aim high while in school are more likely to end up in managerial or professional jobs requiring university education than would be anticipated given their background and academic performance. High school teachers, counselors and administrators have an extraordinary amount of work to accomplish in meeting the educational needs of their student populations. The research literature is clear that one of the best indicators of a young people’s capacity to understand and progress in the labor market is the extent to which their educational and occupational aspirations are aligned, in particular for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to demonstrate misaligned expectations. Youth Career Centers is supported by local service as a critical part of the community’s infrastructure.

FCCP’s OSY program is designed to connect out of school youth to a career pathway through job readiness and life skills training, work experience exposure, continuing education and its impact on earnings. Youth will be assessed for academic proficiency, career interests and aptitudes, strengths and barriers to employment and self-sufficiency. Youth receive one on one case management services to support academic enrichment, paid work experience, job readiness and professionalism skills, and be guided on a career path matching their interests and aptitude. Youth graduating from the program will be on a course toward higher lifetime earnings through career pathway support including education, work experience, and employment mentoring.
Folsom Cordova targets the following zip codes, 95670, 95742, 95655, 95827, 95630. Rancho Cordova City (95670 and 95742) recorded a 4.0 % unemployment rate in August 2022 (The Bureau of Labor Statistics) which is just below the state average of 4.10%. This area of Rancho Cordova has a high population density with many single parent households living in apartments.
Resources available to serve Out of School Youth within these neighborhoods are severely limited. OSY efforts are concentrated on the low income neighborhoods including Walnutwood, Kinney and Cordova High School.
There is a lack of resources for disconnected youth ages 16 to 24 in the targeted area. There are limited youth employment programs with a footprint in Rancho Cordova. While some providers claim to be serving Rancho Cordova (and surrounding) youth, without a location in the high-need area of the community, local youth will have difficulty knowing about or accessing services.

FCCP has providing financial empowerment education with increasing capacity with a pilot grant from the Office of Child Abuse Prevention (OCAP) for three years. Although this pilot grant has ended, it provided FCCP with seed monies to develop and adopt Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) financial empowerment curriculum and tools to the unbanked and underbanked in our communities. We have created dynamic presentations, activities and handouts to provide a vibrant experience that addresses all learning modalities in four languages; English, Spanish, Farsi and recently added Russian. Each language series has specific adoptions based on cultural specifics regarding money and banking practices. We have piloted and administered this teaching series in both classroom and virtual modules as well as through one on one financial coaching. FCCP received the National Financial Literacy Month Proclamation in April 2021 by the City of Rancho Cordova Council for successfully mobilizing financial education throughout Sacramento County.
Through this pilot period we have delivered financial empowerment education to over 200 community members and we have been funded by CalMoneySmart to continue financial literacy.
Based on responses to the Financial Management Behavior Scale we learned that the most problematic financial behaviors for these individuals related to savings. Prior to the training
45.2% of respondents were not actively maintaining an emergency savings fund, 45.2% were not saving for a long-term goal and 35.7% did not save from paychecks regularly. After 12 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
completing FCCP’s financial empowerment education of clients not actively maintaining an emergency savings fund had dropped to 14.3%, the percentage not saving for a long-term goal fell to 16.7% and only 11.9% were having trouble savings from paychecks regularly. These are improvements of 30.9%, 28.5% and 23.8%, respectively.

FCCP’s provision of Basic and Individualized services has resulted in economic and social impacts for the targeted communities in Sacramento, in particular Rancho Cordova residents.
Rancho Cordova was identified by Sacramento Employment Training Agency demographically needing access to workforce development to lower unemployment, increase economic prosperity, and increase family stability. With the implementation of the FCCP Job Center, businesses have experienced a reduction in costs to train new staff and be able to access a higher qualified local labor pool to fill their open positions. Individuals and families have experienced reduced financial stress, while establishing employment history and acquiring valuable skills in a growing occupation or industry. Individuals have access to a career pathway that allows for a continued upward trend of wages in an industry of projected growth.
Individuals, and their families, will become self-sufficient, increasing family stability for adults and children in the home. Family stability supports higher learning outcomes for children, higher education completion rates, and projected higher earnings for children over their 13 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
lifetimes.
With the onset and aftermath of the pandemic, Rancho Cordova experienced increased unemployment and a lack of access to community resources with the massive shut down of public transportation and critical financial resources. FCCP was able to quickly mobilize to provide concrete direct supports, dedicated, intensive case management, financial empowerment education and employment support to individuals. FCCP takes a whole systems approach to individual and family services and provides wraparound support services such as rental assistance, employment supports, transportation, access to health and nutrition services to successfully seek employment and career training opportunities. FCCP Adult and Dislocated Worker program transitioned to providing a semi hybrid service delivery model to include both in person and virtually capacities to provide a continuum of services during the pandemic and beyond. In the process we have advanced our ability to diversify and meet the needs of the changed landscape of workforce development for both the job seekers and the employers by implementing monthly job fairs and are planning pop up job fairs onsite for employers to set up a time to be available for walk-ins and assigned appointments. FCCP has provided an interview room by appointment based for candidates needing to do virtually interviews with a laptop and webcam.

Sacramento County has one of the highest percentage of refugees in the nation. FCCP has the foundational experience and has been operating SETA Refugee program since 2014 to meet the continued need to assist refugees with job search, job skill readiness and job placement. FCCP has also provided supportive services with referrals for affordable housing, culturally appropriate and intermittent childcare, immigration, legal and medical appointments, translation and interpretation, and other services. In some cases, there are large geographic distances between employment service providers and the areas in which resettlement agencies house newly arrived refugees. More collaboration is needed between resettlement agencies and employment services providers as new populations arrive in order to provide a more timely response to new populations arriving in the Sacramento area.
More extended services, especially mental health services, are needed to address the trauma many refugees have experienced. Trauma has been observed in children and youth in the Sacramento schools. When accessing health care, refugees also face transportation, cultural and language barriers.
There is a need for extended case management with resettlement agencies. FCCP Refugee Employment Support staff have provided employment service providers with supporting acculturation transitions. However there continues to be a need for broader career development services to meet the unique needs of professional refugees and SIVs including translation of transcripts and credentials, advanced ESL, long term career pathways development, and entrepreneurship/self-employment training.
All services are provided in a manner that is culturally and linguistically compatible with a refugee's culture and language background. Refugee women are given the same opportunity as refugee men to participate in refugee-funded services, and ensure to the maximum extent possible that funded service providers hire bicultural and bilingual women to support service delivery
Section 4: Project Description
a. Name of Project: JobEx Program
b. Project Design:
The goal of this project is to continue the expansion of workforce development in individualized career services for residents of Rancho Cordova through a referral based program model. This location has a 315 square foot universal access room with eight computers for job seeker use for online applications, resume preparation, and job search. Additionally, this location has a 320 square foot training room for pre-vocational training and workforce preparation activities. The 15 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
training room will also be utilized for employer recruitments with an adjacent private office used for one on one onsite interviews by employers. This facility provides appropriate cubicle office space for employment services staff as well as a welcoming reception area with ample wall space for job postings, community resource postings, and notices.
FCCP serves a diverse client base from low to middle class families and can continue to promote the positive image of Rancho Cordova by encompassing all populations, work backgrounds and education levels into the program. Our location, on the same site as Adult Education for the Folsom Cordova Unified School District, provides easy access for eligible students already on campus to access FCCP’s Job Center. The majority of students are low-income or CalWORKS recipients and seeking a high school diploma or equivalent, and many are English Language learners taking ESL classes.
Eligibility assessment will start with a referral form and CalJobs registration completed by a potential client. The form includes basic information on demographics, and employment history where FCCP staff can start to assess and identify potential client motivation to employment. The CalJobs registration allows for clients to access services at any job center in California. Part of the CalJOBS registration process requires clients to identify their employment status, address of residence, current housing situation and disability. This information is used by staff to determine eligibility for JobEx and/or other Job Center programs.
FCCP has in-person and online outreach strategies which have resulted in successful enrollment in its employment services programs and previous RC Workforce Recovery Program. FCCP plans to utilize social media platforms (i.e. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), public tabling events, and partners like the Folsom Cordova Adult School the Job Center to engage and enroll 90 Rancho Cordova job seekers into the JobEx program.
Once the referral form and CalJobs registration is reviewed by an FCCP staff member, the client is invited to complete an orientation to review and ask questions about the program. After orientation, an indepth intake appointment is scheduled with a Career Specialist (CS) where they will be asked about their immediate needs and employment goals. CS provides information about program services to clients. During this intake process CS will go over and ask clients about current employment status, employment goals, and any barriers to employment. CS will assess any current needs such as food, transportation or childcare. CS will refer to other programs such as, DEA Program, or Refugee Program as appropriate and possible co-enrollment. JobEx will also provide language support if the client faces English proficiency as a barrier to accessing services. When determining eligibility, CS looks at a client’s motivation to return to the workforce or seek better employment with higher wages, interest in skill gain, change in careers if applicable. A CS will also look at a clients employment barriers to gauge what individualized career services and case management to provide and develop in a clients plan. 16 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
FCCP will provide an enrolled participant to an assigned Career Specialist and the following Individualized Career Case-Managed Services: comprehensive assessment, including academic, professional and transferable skills; customer career planning;and the development of an individual employment plan (IEP). This will provide job seekers with a career pathway plan in an area of projected growth based on their individual interests, aptitudes, strengths and barriers.
Additionally, FCCP will provide information about eligible training providers; individual career counseling including comprehensive case management; workforce preparation activities including resume preparation and interviewing skills; short term pre-vocational services; and access to support services. These activities will prepare job seekers for employment by improving their professional/soft skills, increasing their technical skills through approved training and improving their job readiness and employment preparedness. Furthermore, FCCP will provide access to support services as needed to pursue training, job attainment or retention.
These activities will further increase employability through family and support services for employment activities. FCCP will continue to work collaboratively with adult education partners to provide ease of enrollment in English language classes, Adult Basic Education, and high school diploma completion services. FCCP will also continue to work collaboratively with partnered training providers for job seekers needing additional skills to improve employability in a growing occupation. Wraparound support will be provided by FCCP's suite of services and robust network of partners in our one stop shop delivery model. This means services will be brought to the customer through on site access or telephone immediate resource introductions.
Individualized Career Services & Case Management Activities:
Individualized career services and intensive case management can consist of the one or more of the following activities:
Comprehensive Assessment-Comprehensive and specialized assessments of the skill levels and service needs of adults, and/or in depth interview and evaluation to identify employment barriers and appropriate goals.
Career Planning- Through conducting career exploration and career assessment FCCP staff will assist clients with building an Individual Employment Plan (IEP) that reinforces employment goals and sets them on viable career pathways providing access to reliable information to assist with alignment with their employment goals.
Career Coaching-FCCP staff will utilize the individualized employment plan to provide one-on-one coaching or workshop facilitation on resume and cover letter writing, interviewing preparation and skills, and job search coaching as needed. Staff will provide Additional career coaching on soft skills as needed and for participants who want to learn more about Personal and 17 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
Professional Balance and Dealing With Conflict in the Workplace. This will support participants in employment placement and long term retention.
Customized Coaching & Mentorship-FCCP establishes a holistic and case managed family services modality to include support services for child care, financial supports/scholarships, healthcare access and increased social support to ensure parents can start or advance their careers with the appropriate resources and tools. FCCP staff will use a culturally responsive, trauma informed, and strength based coaching and mentorship to empower participants and especially specialized populations who are BIPOC, LGBT, experiencing homeless to fine-tune their soft skills while gaining autonomy over decision making and reaching self-sufficiency.
Building Professional Networks -FCCP will coordinate onsite and virtual employer recruitment sessions at the Job Center for direct job placement, a Spring Job Fair in collaboration with the Folsom Cordova Adult School. Clients will utilize their networking skills to build professional relationships with employers, discover jobs available in multiple industries or obtain long-term employment.
Training Scholarships – Participants will receive employment training scholarships that match with their IEP goals. Employment training provides accelerated training that helps participants learn specific knowledge or skills to secure employment in a specific career pathway. FCCP will offer at least 10 training scholarships to qualified participants for Adult Education programs and eligible training programs to support participants' success and placement.
Job Site Orientations – FCCP staff will utilize our ever-growing network of local business connections to coordinate job site orientations where clients will visit an employer site to tour the facility. Clients will receive an overview of the company facility and operations with the opportunity to discuss employment opportunities.
Employment Supportive Services- FCCP staff will provide employment supportive services and referrals to clients with identified needs and barriers to employment. ● In- House Support Services will include technology, transportation, employment supports covered by the JobEx program to expedite and ease financial costs for employment placement.
● Out-Source Support Services will be referrals made by FCCP staff to partnered wrap-around services providers that can support a program participant with Family Violence safety and planning, housing assistance, internet/utilities cost and childcare.
Upon completion of training activities/individualized services and attainment of employment, enrolled participants will be contacted by Career Specialist at minimum once per quarter to track and record continued employment, career development, and earning levels. Case notes 18 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
will be made in FCCP’s online database and tracking system. Customers will have access to Career Specialist coaching staff and FCCP’s Job Center for continued support with career pathway progress, resource referrals, and problem solving post-employment attainment.
The Job Developer will be focusing on employer engagement, referrals and job placement services. They will connect participants to work opportunities in the local community to develop technical and professional skills for their future success.
The Job Developer will create a business engagement plan according to clients career interests and employment goals and schedule meetings with employers and training providers to develop partnerships. FCCP will provide potential partners with an overview of JobEx, benefits of becoming an FCCP partner and chance for employers to discuss hiring needs. Partner employers will provide job site tours and orientation of their business for clients interested in direct hire.
Training providers will be provided with a similar overview and discuss tuition costs, enrollment process and job placement after training completion.
The Job Developer will have a master list of employer and training partners sent weekly with current partners and job opportunities for JobEx staff to refer to when meeting with clients.
Employment referrals from businesses will go directly to the Job Developer to review and coordinate job placement services. If clients express interest in a job opportunity, business, or training, the assigned Career Specialist will coordinate with the Job Developer for a job site orientation, job placement or enrollment process for training.
Furthermore, FCCP will provide job placement services through Employer Recruitment Sessions and Spring Job Fair. The Job Developer will work closely with the Manager to plan quarterly employer recruitment sessions with partner employers seeking to hire multiple individuals.
Employers will provide a presentation on their business, work culture and job opportunities available to job seekers. After the presentations, employers and clients will get a chance to network and interview for direct hire. In the Spring, FCCP will partner with the Folsom Cordova Adult School to plan a Job Fair. The Job Developer will invite partners and new employers to network with clients and interview the same day for job placement. The employer recruitment sessions and Spring Job Fair will expedite the hiring process and allow for both employer and client needs to be met faster.
This project addresses the needs of Rancho Cordova’s business community by integrating current labor market relevance in developing a ready labor force, interns and a referral system for connecting individuals to local employment opportunities. JobEx will positively impact Rancho Cordova’s business climate and create opportunities for businesses to grow with a talented, local workforce. These components address the City of Rancho Cordova’s mission to support and 19 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7
value the development of children and youth, enhancing education services, improving quality of life for community members, and providing jobs to community residents. c. Past Performance and Planned Outcomes
FCCP has been providing employment services to the community for ten years through SETA funded activities. Through this endeavor FCCP provided individualized career services including program eligibility, comprehensive assessment, and case management support for various training programs resulting in a training completion rate of 70% or better each year in Occupational Skills Sector Initiatives (OSSI) and Occupational Sector Trainings (OST). These services included technology access for job seekers, assistance with workforce preparation activities including resume preparation and interviewing skills, job search assistance and holding employer recruitments. Each month the Training Center was open, we saw an increase in job seekers seeking basic and individualized supports resulting in a current average of 200 job seekers per month. Folsom Cordova Job Center will exist in this same location within the highest poverty area of Rancho Cordova providing access to job seekers relying on public transportation, walking or biking.
FCCP has established a database for result oriented monitoring outcomes with an experienced Research Evaluation and Technician and will continue to learn and advance our skills to be able to create dashboards and work with the team to identify ways to address areas of need and develop a plan of improvement.
FCCP will develop quarterly performance program targets as a strategy to monitor and measure performance outcomes. All enrolled participants will be listed in a spreadsheet database system that states the participant’s program status, employment status, and training status. JobEx staff will be able to update the status of each section in the online database and track individualized career case management activities through casenotes to capture a participant’s progress in the program. Salary increase and job placements will be tracked in the database system. Job placements will include the name of employer, address, wage, and title to document the location of the job and salary increase.
The planned performance measures and outcomes of the program are defined in the chart below and will be monitored to meet grant performance outcomes.

FCCP will be working collaboratively with Futuro Health, General Assembly and North State Building Industry Foundation to identify and refer enrolled program participants into skilled training opportunities in the healthcare, technology, energy, contraction, utilities and manufacturing industries. These industries are in high demand and offer living wage salaries.
FCCP will be partnering with Folsom Cordova Unified School District and specific school sites in administration of this program for referrals. Folsom Lake College, Northstate College of Health Sciences, California State University Sacramento and UC Davis are partners with FCCP that provide educational panels and presentations to participants interested in higher education and training.
FCCP also works closely with Sacramento Food Bank, Rancho Cordova Foodlocker, Hagan Community Center, WEAVE, Volunteers of America Transitional Housing, CA Department of Human Assistance and other organizations that will provide wrap-around services to program participants.
FCCP continues to provide home visitation, Safety Net, Family Self-Sufficiency and Family Resource Center services to over 3,000 families annually. Most recently with COVID-19, FCCP advanced its role to include community access to public health COVID site testing in collaboration with the State of California and at the height of the pandemic provided over 500 tests each day the testing site was open. The successful collaboration serving the community 21 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 7

Folsom Cordova Community Partnership
Rancho Cordova, California
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (a nonprofit organization), which comprises the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the related statements of activities and change in net assets, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
This summary of significant accounting policies of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (the Organization) is presented to assist in understanding the Organization’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Organization’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
Description of Organization
Folsom Cordova Community Partnership is a nonprofit Organization founded in 1992 as the Folsom Cordova Schools Foundation, a community-based Organization with a mission to mobilize and integrate resources that enhance the education, health and well being of the children and families of the community. The Organization brings together community programs and partners to assess and address community needs, thereby, maximizing resources while reducing duplication of services with the end result being a unified, self-sufficient community which is in-tune with its needs and has the ability to resolve its challenges.
Basis of Presentation
Net assets, revenues, gains, and losses are classified based on the existence or absence of donor or grantor-imposed restrictions. Accordingly, the net assets of the Foundation and changes therein are classified as follows:
Net Assets Without Donor Restrictions: Net assets that are not subject to donorimposed restrictions and may be expended for any purpose in performing the objectives of the Organization. The Board of Directors may designate assets without restrictions for specific operational purposes.
Net Assets With Donor Restrictions: Net assets subject to stipulations imposed by donors and grantors. Some donor restrictions are temporary in nature; those restrictions will be met by actions of the Organization or by the passage of time.
Other donor restrictions are perpetual in nature, whereby the donor has stipulated the funds be maintained in perpetuity. When a restriction expires (that is, when a stipulated time restriction ends or purpose restriction is accomplished), net assets are reclassified from net assets with donor restrictions to net assets without donor restrictions and reported in the statement of activities as net assets released from restrictions. Contributions received with donor-imposed restrictions that are met in the same year in which the contributions are received are classified as contributions without restrictions.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Method of Accounting
The financial statements of the Organization have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the obligation is incurred, rather than when cash is collected or disbursed.
Description of Programs
The Organization’s primary mission is to enhance the education, health, and well-being of the children, youth, and adults in the community.
Employment Services provide employment resources and on the job training to individuals and families in Rancho Cordova, Folsom and surrounding areas of Sacramento County.
Youth Services build positive relationships for youth and provides a solid foundation to add support and opportunity to live their lives productively. The program merges youth-centered programming with long-term strategies to decrease youth alcohol and drug use, increase community and school safety and increase access to college and other post-secondary education.
Family Services provide a walk-in resource center that works in partnership with the community to build strong families, meet the needs of growing children and establish a “hub” for community driven activities and services. The center hosts parenting classes, workshops, support groups and family fun night, and other events.
Birth and Beyond is a family centered in-home lesson-based program. The weekly lessons focus on positive self-concept, child development, empathy, alternatives to corporal punishment, nurturing skills and the use of positive communication.
Community Support Services focuses on meeting the basic needs of the community while acting as the “gateway” to the Organization’s other programs and services.
The program provides one-to-one crisis assessment, community-based advocacy, resource and referrals and short-term solution focused case management. Services include emergency supplies of food and diapers, utility shut off prevention, eviction prevention, emergency shelter and transportation assistance.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Organization considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Concentration of Credit Risk
The Organization maintains a significant portion of its cash with one financial institution, which is insured by the Federal Deposit Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At June 30, 2020, bank balance exceeded FDIC limits by approximately $97,000. Management believes the Organization is not exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash.
Grants and Contracts Receivables
Grants and contracts receivable consist of noninterest-bearing amounts and are based on agreements with various agencies and organizations. These amounts represent expenditures for which reimbursement has been requested but not yet received.
Management believes all grants and contract receivables to be fully collectible; therefore, no allowance for doubtful accounts is considered necessary.
Capital Assets
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Donations of property and equipment are recorded at their estimated fair market value on the date of donation. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets which range from three to five years. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statements of activities. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.
Compensated Absences
Employees for the Organization are entitled to paid annual leave depending on job classification and length of service, which is payable upon termination of the employee.
Annual leave accruals are recorded in the financial statements as accrued expenses totaling $52,170 at June 30, 2020.
Deferred Revenue
Payments received in advance for services and events to be provided in future fiscal years are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized as revenue when the goods or services have been provided. Revenue recognized includes $5,576 which was included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the year. -9-

FOLSOM CORDOVA COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Organization’s revenue is derived from cost-reimbursable federal and state contracts and grants, which are conditioned upon certain performance requirements and/ or the incurrence of allowable qualifying expenses. Amounts received are recognized as revenue when the expense has been incurred in compliance with specific contract or grant provisions. Amounts received prior to incurring qualifying expenditures are reported as refundable advances in the statement of financial position.
No amounts have been received in advance under the federal and state contracts and grants at June 30, 2020.
Special events revenue is comprised of an exchange element based upon the direct benefits donors receive and a contribution element for the difference. The Organization recognizes special events revenue equal to the fair value of direct benefits to donors when the special event takes place and recognizes the contribution element immediately, unless there is a right of return if the special event does not take place.
Donated Goods and Services
Contributions of donated non-cash assets are recorded at their fair values in the period received. Contributions of donated services that create or enhance non-financial assets or that require specialized skills, are provided by individuals possessing those skills, and would typically need to be purchased if not provided by donation, are recorded at their fair values in the period received. For the year ended June 30, 2020, $20,704 has been included in the statement of activities as in-kind revenues and in the statement of functional expenses as in-kind expenses.
Numerous volunteers have made contributions of their time to the Organization to deliver programs and raise operating funds. The value of this contributed time is not reflected in these financial statements as they do not meet the criteria for recognition under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
Income Tax Status
The Organization is tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. Therefore, it is not obligated to pay Federal or State income taxes unless its unrelated business income exceeds $1,000. There are no uncertain tax positions or other provisions for income taxes that should be recognized in these financial statements. Generally, the Organization’s tax returns remain open for three years for federal income tax examination and four years for state income tax examinations. -10-

Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (concluded) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles require fair value to be measured by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value; Level 1 uses quoted prices and active markets for identical assets or liabilities when determining fair market value; Level 2 uses non-active quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities that can be corroborated with market data; and Level 3 uses unobservable information with little or no market data. The Organization reports assets and liabilities using Level 1 inputs.
Functional Allocation of Expenses
The costs of providing the Organization's various programs and other activities have been summarized on a functional basis in the statement of activities. Expenses are charged to each program based on specific expenditures incurred. Certain expenses are attributable to more than one program or supporting function. Therefore, expenses require allocation on a reasonable basis that is consistently applied. Expenses that are allocated include salaries and payroll related expenses, occupancy, professional fees, insurance, and depreciation which are allocated based on square footage or salary expenditures in that program area.
Subsequent Events
Management of the Organization has evaluated subsequent events through January 18, 2021, the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that no events have occurred that require additional disclosure. -11-

Note 6 - Employee Benefit Plans
Salary Deferral
The Organization provides an Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) salary deferral plan for the benefit of all employees, which allows them to defer a portion of their annual compensation. The Board of Directors may elect to make contributions to the plan on an annual basis. No contribution was authorized for the year ended June 30, 2020.
Flexible Benefit Plan
The Organization maintains a flexible spending plan (cafeteria plan) for qualifying employees, which allows each employee to choose between receiving compensation or funding one or more tax-free benefits. At June 30, 2020, the Organization provides between $500 and $900 per month to each employee under this plan.
Note 7 - Contingencies
The Organization’s contracts are subject to inspection and compliance audits by the appropriate governmental funding agencies. The purpose is to determine whether program funds were used in accordance with their respective guidelines and regulations. The potential exists for disallowance of previously funded program costs.
The Organization has not experienced any disallowances of program costs from these governmental audits. Management cannot reasonably estimate any ultimate potential liability and believes it is not exposed to any significant risk, which may result from these governmental audits. Accordingly, the Organization has recorded no provision for the possible disallowance of program costs on its financial statements. -13-

Note 8 - Concentrations of Revenue
The Organization operates certain programs, which are dependent on continued funding from government agencies. If a significant reduction from these sources occurred, the organization’s ability to maintain related programs would be significantly impacted. For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Organization received approximately 91% of its revenues and support from various government agencies as follows:

Accounts receivable 342,121
Financial assets available 742,387
Less: amounts unavailable for general expenditures within one year, due to contractual or donor-imposed restrictions (31,436) Financial assets available to meet cash needs for general expenditures within one year $ 710,951
The Organization’s programs and overhead are supported primarily with costreimbursement government and private grants and cash needs are expected to be met on a monthly basis. There are no internal limitations or board designations on available resources. The Organization’s goal is to maintain financial assets at a level equal to 90- 180 days of operating expenses. As part of the liquidity management plan, cash in excess of daily requirements is maintained in money market funds. The Organization continues to manage its liquidity by developing annual operating budgets that provide sufficient funds to support operating expenditures, liabilities, and other obligations. -14-

GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
To the Board of Directors
Folsom Cordova Community Partnership
Rancho Cordova, California
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership (a non-profit organization), which comprise the statement of financial position as of June 30, 2020 and the related statements of activities, functional expenses, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements and have issued our report thereon dated January 18, 2021.
Internal Control over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct, misstatement on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.
Given these limitations, during our audit, we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we considered to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. -16-

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the organization’s internal control or compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Organization's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR
EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER
COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE
Board of Directors
Folsom Cordova Community Partnership
Rancho Cordova, California
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program
We have audited Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s compliance with the types of compliance requirements described in the OMB Compliance Supplement that could have a direct and material effect on each of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2020. The Organization’s major federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor’s results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs.
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirement for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Organization’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, Folsom Cordova Community Partnership complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2020. -18-

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program, and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is soley to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

Dear Ms. Amanda Norton,
On behalf of General Assembly Space, Inc (GA), please accept this letter of support for Folsom Cordova Community Partnership’s application for the City of Rancho Cordova’s Workforce Recovery Program. The FCCP team possesses the local expertise, local community relationships, and case management capacity critical to maintaining a strong workforce development sector and enabling Rancho Cordova residents with barriers to employment to enter the workforce in skilled occupations.
General Assembly (GA) is a leader in digital skills transformation, powering large-scale upskilling and reskilling initiatives for adult learners. Since 2011, we have trained over 80,000 adults across 32 campuses in 5 countries. Our enterprise team has partnered with leading companies — including 42 of the Fortune 100 — to upskill and reskill workers with in-demand tech capabilities. GA’s first cohort with the city of Rancho Cordova and partnership with the Greater Sacramento Economic Council’s coalition to upskill workers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic illustrate our commitment to our local community and ability to achieve concrete employment outcomes.
In 2021, both GA and FCCP received funding from the city of Rancho Cordova’s Economic Development Department. This year, we hope to advance our independent goals and foster a stronger local workforce system through collaboration. We envision a cross-referral collaborative between GA and FCCP, in which GA provides advanced training opportunities and FCCP provides case management and wraparound services where needed.
GA strongly supports FCCP’s grant application. We believe that FCCP is well poised to offer the comprehensive engagement and case management necessary to operate an effective workforce development program. As a pillar of the local community, their participation will be key to building workforce pathways and technology career development opportunities throughout the city of Rancho Cordova.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the City of Rancho Cordova’s Workforce Recovery Program request for proposals. General Assembly (GA) is the global leader in digital skills transformation, powering large-scale upskilling and reskilling initiatives for adult learners. Since 2011, GA has trained over 80,000 adults on the most in-demand skills, including software engineering, UX design, and data science. After our successful pilot partnership with the City of Rancho Cordova in early 2022, we seek to renew our engagement to increase access to career pathways and help even more local workers enter the tech workforce.
Through public-private partnerships, we are pioneering a community reskilling approach to career training. This place-based model unites stakeholders to transform local employment and hiring ecosystems. Our team aims to expand access to our life changing career bootcamps, while collaborating with employers to build diverse local staffing pools. Through wraparound support, direct employer exposure, and proactive career guidance, we match graduates with in-demand, career catalyzing roles. As a mission-driven organization, GA has been recognized by Fast Company in both 2015 and 2019 as a World-Changing Idea, as well as one of the Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Education.
Since 2020, our Community Reskilling programs in Sacramento, Atlanta, Louisville, Buffalo, and NYC have reached over 6,000 learners. In 2022, GA received funding from the City of Rancho Cordova to operate one pilot SEI course. We enrolled 18 learners in our Software Engineering Immersive, GA’s flagship career accelerator program. 9 individuals graduated from the program this past June and three have already found full-time employment in their chosen field. The 4 learners who have opted to continue with GA’s Career Services have all participated in multiple interviews and are well on their way to securing a permanent position. In this first iteration of our Rancho Cordova partnership, GA collaborated with the City to host networking events and career fairs, introducing graduates to local employers. Throughout our engagement, we remained committed to our partnership, joining City Council meetings and to lend our voice to advocating for workforce development resources across the city. We look forward to building on this model and reaching even more Rancho Cordova residents if awarded a renewal contract.
Described in further detail below, we propose running one cohort of our flagship career change program, our 12 week Software Engineering Immersive. This program would require $320,000 per cohort, which includes recruitment, admissions, program delivery staff, student success, a designated career coach for each student until they have secured job placement and a stipend.
ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
GA was founded in 2011 and currently has 696 instructors and 571 non-instructional staff, totalling 1,267 employees globally. This program will be managed by GA’s Government & Workforce Partnerships team: Priya Ramanathan (Vice President), Cari Perez (Account Director), and Sarah Hinstorff (Program Manager). In addition to this core team, GA will staff admissions experts, instructors, career coaches, student success support through our regular staffing model.

About General Assembly
General Assembly (GA) is the global leader in digital skills transformation, helping power large-scale upskilling and reskilling initiatives for tens of thousands of adults around the world and working with leading enterprises on large-scale digital initiatives. Since our founding in 2014, GA has trained over 80,000 adults in data analytics, data science, digital marketing, software engineering, and user experience design, among other skills. Our enterprise team has partnered with leading companies — including 42 of the Fortune 100 — on large-scale programs to upskill and reskill thousands of workers with in-demand tech capabilities.
Further, GA partners with workforce development agencies at the federal, state, and local level, as well as national and local community-based organizations. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with the city of Rancho Cordova again to provide our industry leading training to power its workforce and support broader talent investments in the regional economy.
What We Do
Since 2011, GA has transformed tens of thousands of careers through pioneering experiential education in today’s most in-demand skills. Whether learners want to build certain skills or completely pivot into careers in data, tech, or design, students receive access to award-winning curricula and expert instructors, career coaching, hiring partners, and global alumni community.
We offer courses in workshop, part-time, or full-time formats.
GA’s experience providing live-instruction online training enabled us to quickly pivot to offer programming remotely amid the pandemic. We continue to offer the bulk of our courses in this remote format without sacrificing quality or student experience — our net promoter scores (NPS) have stayed consistent, as have our number of withdrawals and drops. Indicating our continued capacity for scale, in 2020, we enrolled over 5,100 learners in our immersive courses globally..
Our Learners
The typical GA student demonstrates a drive to making a significant career change but lacks formal prior coding or software engineering experience. Students must be over the age of 18 and have a high school diploma or GED. Roughly 75% have a bachelor’s degree or higher, although often in an entirely different field of study. They must complete a preliminary assessment designed to measure passion, grit, persistence, and ability to learn. Our learners come from a range of educational and professional backgrounds and represent an incredibly diverse array of careers including former musicians, Wall Street bankers, Uber drivers, athletes, and more. Most students are between the ages of 25 and 35, looking to advance down a long-term career path that leads to meaningful earnings potential for themselves and their families. 4 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
Outcomes
A core component to comprehensive training, GA promotes student employability and professional skills through project-based collaborative work and the career coaching program.
Each class is assigned a dedicated Career Coach who teaches a lesson each week related to career readiness. These coaches are students’ accountability partners, helping learners set goals, build a personal brand, apply for jobs, prepare for interviews, and tackle technical assessments with confidence. Their expertise lends students a holistic understanding of prospective industries, roles, and potential career trajectories.
As students move towards graduation, we focus on building community through strategic networking. Our team hosts a range of weekly events, such as Q&A sessions with industry experts. Typically, we work with employers to understand what roles they have open and then find great matches from our graduate pool. From there, we share the candidates' materials (e.g.
CV, portfolio, etc.) with the employer and they directly contact preferred candidates directly.
Once students begin the job search, our Career Services team expects them to meet minimum standards for support: apply to ten jobs per week, attend one networking event per month, maintain a job search tracker, and speak with their career coach at least bi-weekly. Coaches work with students until they secure their first role. Over the past seven years, GA has directly helped more than 12,000 career-changers land jobs in software engineering, data, and user experience (UX) design our outcomes programming. In 2020, 74.4% of graduates who participated in our full-time career services program accepted a job offer in their field of study within 180 days of graduating with ultimately, 93.2% of these graduates finding employment at the one year mark.
Not only do GA’s immersive programs translate into employment, they also lead to higher job satisfaction and increased wages for students. One year post-course, 84% of immersive graduates were happier in their careers, and 74% were making more money. Further, based on a Gallup survey of 5,000 GA graduates, immersive graduates made back the full cost of tuition within one year and doubled their income, on average, in five years.
Our graduates secure jobs at top companies across sectors including Adobe, Amazon, Apple, Bank of America, Capital One, Cisco, CVS Health, Deloitte, Dish Network, Disney, Express Scripts, Google, HP, Microsoft, Prudential Financial, Salesforce, Verizon and Visa.
Social Impact and Community Reskilling
Regardless of previous barriers to education and employment, GA believes everyone should be able to pursue a meaningful career they love. GA’s Social Impact and Community Reskilling programs strive to empower communities underrepresented in tech and unemployed/underemployed adults. Through our partnerships and programming, we aim to:
5 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
● Ensure anyone with the passion and readiness to succeed can access GA programs - even if they can’t pay out of pocket - through investments from employers, loans and income share agreements.
● Increase representation of women, people of color, veterans, and LGBTQ+ individuals in tech roles through events, workshops, diversity initiatives, and investments in talent. ● Build and foster a tech talent pipeline that reflects our diverse communities in partnerships with companies, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations.
Our recent community reskilling projects have targeted students who are unemployed or underemployed due to COVID-19 and who are facing economic hardships. Our full student demographics are outlined in the Outcomes Report included in our Supportive Information section. With these specific initiatives we aim to include 50%+ people of color, 50%+ women, 100% unemployed or underemployed.
Case Studies
A few highlights from recent programs include:
● Buffalo, NY: M&T Bank launched the M&T Tech Academy in late 2020 to invest in the local economy and build a pipeline of skilled tech professionals. To reach communities underrepresented in STEM, the bank spearheaded the Western NY Tech Skills Initiative, a coalition including TechBuffalo, Empire State Development, and GA. In this initiative GA enrolled 800 learners in short-form, self-paced classes and 104 in more intensive part-time live instructor-led courses. Beyond these offerings, M&T Bank, TechBuffalo, and four regional employers co-sponsored a full-time, 12-week GA Data Analytics course designed to connect learners directly to employment upon graduation. Employers provided the initial investment and worked with GA’s product team to design this new Data Analytics Immersive program. Our first cohort graduated in April of 2022 and demonstrated fantastic outcomes: 100% of the 19 learners enrolled successfully graduated. In just three weeks post-course, 50% of graduates obtained full-time jobs. By the six month mark, 83% of graduates secured roles in their field with one alum pursuing higher education. Based on the first cohort’s success, we are now planning a second cohort launch in early 2023. ($375,000, Sarah Tanbakuchi, [email protected]) ● Houston: The Ion and BakerRipley are two Houston partners dedicated to expanding tech career opportunities to underrepresented communities. GA operates two local programs to achieve collective impact in Houston. First, in 2021, AT&T funded GA and the nonprofit BakerRipley to offer a start to finish digital skills training program. Within this structure, 15 students began with BakerRipley’s Tech Bridge Program to obtain basic tech skills and exposure. After completing the initial course, seven learners advanced onto GA’s Software Engineering Immersive (SEI) to develop the skills to become full software engineers. GA also partners with the Ion, a new tech hub dedicated to encouraging 6 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
entrepreneurship in Houston. In 2022, Microsoft funded the Ion to enroll 10 diverse Houstonians in our flex and full-time SEI courses with the potential for continued partnership. We hope to build on these partnerships through cross-sector collaboration, contributing to the city’s economic growth and transforming career opportunities for Houstonians often underrepresented in the technology workforce. ($112,500, Chelsea Wessel, [email protected] - $104,650, Ernest Lewis III, [email protected]) ● Louisville, KY: Future of Work Initiative is a public-private community partnership designed to revitalize the region’s economy. The coalition, chaired by the city of Louisville and Humana, includes Microsoft, the University of Louisville, the Louisville Healthcare CEO Council, GA, and Louisville Forward, the city’s economic development agency.
Launched prior to the onset of Covid-19, Future of Work pivoted to invest primarily in communities hit hardest by the pandemic and its economic repercussions. Since April 2020, 3,300+ Louisville residents have participated in short-form, self-paced GA workshops. We also enrolled 100 learners into part-time immersive GA courses in Digital Marketing, User Experience Design, Data Analytics, and Software Engineering, achieving a 70% graduation rate. Through funding from Humana, GA trained 33 general Louisville residents and 22 high school and college students in a full-time Data Analytics program with a local community based organization, AMPED (97% graduation rate) and Microsoft’s Butterfly Project (100% graduation rate). ($220,000, Deb Clary, [email protected]) ● New York City NY: St Nicks Alliance, a Brooklyn-based nonprofit, began collaborating with GA in the fall of 2022 to offer customized data analytics programming to upskill lowand moderate-income community members. Our innovative partnership leverages GA’s core data analytics curricula to build a specialized 8-week career accelerator experience.
GA provides in-person training at our NYC campus, covering Excel, SQL, and Tableau fundamentals. Following GA instruction, St. Nicks offers tutoring, career coaching, and funding to earn industry-recognized certifications. Upon graduation, St. Nicks will match students with paid internships and continue to support their long-term goals to access careers in tech. Leveraging a mix of public and private funding, this model allows both organizations to leverage their strengths to reskill our local community. GA activates its proven instructors and curricula, while St. Nicks builds upon their relationships with job seekers. We are progressing smoothly through our pilot of 12 learners, and are eager to share reflections later this year. ($90,000, Larry Rothchild, [email protected]) ● Sacramento, CA: Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) unites business and community leaders to create a regional economic development strategy with a focus on growth, sustainability, equity and competitiveness. GSEC spearheads a coalition to reskill Black and Latinx Sacramentans impacted by Covid-19 job losses. Funded by CARES Act federal recovery support, GSEC activated a partnership with the Greater Sacramento Urban League (GSUL) to direct displaced workers to tech-focused reskilling programs 7 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
with Merit America and GA. In 16-weeks, 39 students received sponsored admission into life changing career accelerator courses: 50% into Merit America’s part-time IT Support Certificate training and 50% into GA’s more advanced full-time Data Analytics Immersive.
In total, 36 students graduated (90% completion rate) and 81% were hired for full-time roles at companies such as Accenture, AT&T, and California Volunteers. This project successfully and rapidly unified local workforce stakeholders to transform underemployed workers’ immediate economic opportunities and long-term career trajectories.

Project Description
Project Name
General Assembly & the City of Rancho Cordova: Training to Expand Access to Careers in Tech Project Design
Engagement and Outreach
To reach learners for this program, GA will work closely with the City of Rancho Cordova to leverage community partnerships and local channel marketing, connecting individuals aligned with local nonprofits and networks to these career training opportunities. We will specifically market the opportunity as an advanced learning option for individuals who have participated in digital literacy, introductory IT, or other such preparatory programming. We hope to collaborate with the City of Rancho Cordova to amplify our outreach and spread the word in public spaces.
GA anticipates offering free info sessions and introductory classes to introduce the local community to GA and careers pathways in software engineering to engage prospective students.
We aim to create an open environment in which participants can explore our programs and determine if the curriculum aligns with their baseline digital skills and long-term career goals.
Population and Demographics
For this project, GA will target outreach toward unemployed, underemployed, and displaced workers impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021, across our national immersive courses,
40.5% of learners self identified as women, 58.3% as male, and 1.2% as other. 41.8% of learners self identified as white, 16.6% as Black, 24.2% as Asian/Pacific Islander, 0.4% as Native American,
11.7% Latinx, and 5.3% as other. These demographics mirror Rancho Cordova’s local census data.
Notably, in the US Census period of 2016-2020, only 27.4% of Rancho Cordova census respondents reported having a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 33% nationally . 1 However, 88.6% of residents reported having a high school diploma/GED or higher, indicating a population aligned with GA’s typical learner profile. The median individual income for the city was reported at $33,236. By accessing a career in software engineering, workers have the opportunity to double their existing income with their first new position.
Admissions Process
After a candidate indicates interest in a GA program, our admissions team will reach out to support them through the decision making and application process. Our admissions process for the Rancho Cordova cohorts will follow the following structure, consistent across GA programs:
1. Landing Page: Candidate applies via GA’s Rancho Cordova-specific landing page. We anticipate that most candidates will navigate to this site through our community events, general public outreach, or direct partner referral.
1 https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/ranchocordovacitycalifornia 9 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
2. Phone Interview: Interested candidates will receive follow up communication from a GA admissions team member, requesting a phone screen. The phone screen will evaluate the applicants’ understanding of the course requirements, alignment with career aspirations, and ability to commit to the intensive schedule.
3. Initial Assessment: Following a successful phone screen, candidates will receive an assessment to gauge their baseline digital literacy and commitment to learning.
4. Final Behavioral Interview: Candidates that pass the Assessment participate in one final behavioral interview and then receive enrollment into the cohort. Selected learners will continue to work with the admissions team to satisfy all logistics prior to the course start.
5. Pre-work: Prior to course start, candidates receive a conditional acceptance. Each course’s pre-work modules cover the discipline’s building blocks and create a uniform starting point from which all students will begin the class. Final acceptance is contingent upon successful pre-work completion.
Delivery Model
The Software Engineering Immersive (SEI) is GA’s flagship program. The immersive, 12-week course includes 80 hours of cohort-based classroom time over twelve weeks, with 140 hours of guided learning, 340 hours of project or team-based work, and 200 hours of self-access learning.
GA has run SEI live online for four years, and our remote courses mirror the campus experience with the same curriculum, instruction, student support, and career outcomes. We use best-in-class technology to create a seamless learning environment with Zoom and Slack forming the basis of our interactive virtual classroom. Beyond the SEI curriculum, Rancho Cordova learners will have access to GA’s full suite of Career Services, including in-class career readiness workshops, one-on-one coaching sessions, and introductions to employer partners. If needed, we can activate our Student Success team to assist struggling students in troubleshooting during the course and processing referrals to appropriate supportive services.
Skills Development and Training Process
GA will assign an experienced lead instructor as well as an Instructional Associate (IA) to support the student experience. Ideally, the GA will hire an alumni from the last Rancho Cordova cohort to serve as the IA. By hiring a successful prior participant, GA encourages a community of long-term learning and mentorship. The lead instructor and IA will together lead training in real time with self-paced, asynchronous learning via our learning platform - myGA. This combined delivery model enables learners to access up-to-date learning materials before a course starts and after class hours. Course assignments are tangible and measurable, enabling instructors to track student progress and provide feedback throughout the learning experience. Both the instructor and IA will lead office hours to answer questions and support learners in smaller group.
GA designs all of our content to be universally accessible and relevant by illustrating key concepts with real-world examples that represent a diverse set of backgrounds and perspectives. 10 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
The SEI program prepares students for junior level software engineering roles upon graduation, and includes four primary units of study:
1. Fundamentals: Responsive layout and logic using JavaScript/jQuery
2. Full-stack development: MVC Server Apps, REST software architectural style, relational databases, security, testing and RESTful routing on the client-side
3. Front-end frameworks: JS MV* Frameworks, Advanced JavaScript concepts, Independent Learning
4. APIs and Full-Stack Development: API, Non-relational Databases, AJAX, Team Collaboration
Upon completion, participants are able to design and lay out responsive web applications, build secure full-stack web applications, safely model and store SQL and NoSQL databases, develop web applications using JavaScript, consume and integrate third-party APIs in application, use modern JavaScript browser application frameworks, and deploy applications to the web using cloud-based hosting. The full SEI syllabus is included in the Supportive Information section.
Student Planning and Retention Strategies
From start to finish, every Immersive student has a team of GA staff supporting, troubleshooting, and advocating for their continued successes.
● The admissions team ensures students are ready to participate in the rigorous program and have clear expectations about the course experience. ● The student success team facilitates orientation, communicates logistics, and provides students with touchpoints for accessibility, education plans, and improvement plans. ● Instructors lead live lectures, workshops, discussions, and critiques during class, office hours, 1:1’s, and student resource groups, meeting students’ diverse learning needs. ● Career coaches prepare students for their job search during the course and until graduates successfully secure a full-time role.
In this program, we seek to offer learners a $3,000 living stipend to help cover personal expenses, such as technology, internet, transportation, or any other pressing costs that could prohibit program completion. This stipend enables learners to create an environment in which they can focus on their studies and worry less about managing daily living expenses. In the pilot Rancho Cordova cohort, students reflected that the stipends were critical to their ability to purchase laptops, upgrade to faster internet, and support themselves through the course.
Placements and Employer Engagement
We rely on employer feedback to inform our iterative curriculum design. Our product and learning team works directly with our GA standards board made up of experts in the fields of engineering, data, and design to review our curricula up to four times a year to ensure that our training continues to meet industry standards.
11 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
Further, GA strives to build local employer relationships around each of our major engagements.
To satisfy the grant priorities, we will strive to support as many learners as possible to secure placements in the Rancho Cordova area. We will bring together key employer partners for hiring fairs, networking, and mentorship events. With the rise of remote work opportunities, we will also leverage our collaborations with large national employers.
In 2018, GA also strengthened its position as global leader in the talent industry as a result of its acquisition by the Adecco Group. The Adecco Group operates in 60 countries that offers 360° HR solutions from flexible to permanent employment, career transitions, and talent development services through its network of brands, presenting additional hiring opportunities for graduates.
In our previous engagement, graduates also enjoyed the Networking Event sponsored by the City of Rancho Cordova. We would be eager to leverage this programming for future cohorts.
For this purposes of this grant, each party will:

Past Performance and Planned Outcomes
Past Performance
In 2022, GA received funding from the city of Rancho Cordova to operate one pilot SEI course. In this cohort, 18 learners began the SEI course. Of the nine graduates, three have obtained full-time work as a Junior Full Stack Developer, Junior Front End Developer, and Azure Cloud Engineer.
One of these students even received her job offer before course graduation. Two learners opted 12 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
out of the career services program and four continue to work with our career coach to secure a new role. Two alumni also stayed on with GA as paid IAs as they conducted their job search, refining their skills and sharing their knowledge with current learners. All four current job seekers have each had multiple interviews, including many that came from warm leads through our employer partnerships channel, with companies including the U.S. Senate, Metsi, and Lynton.
At the end of the course, students produced major capstone projects that demonstrate their skills, interests, and hireability. Capstones included an application to share portions of code, a tool to help gardeners map and plan their plots, a dashboard for athletic coaches to publish practice schedules, and other projects based on each learner’s unique passions.
Our first cohort of learners represented a diverse array of Rancho Cordova residents, striving to embark on major career changes and build their economic mobility. See two short learner bios:
● Courtney T. - Courtney is a military veteran with a background as a technical trainer. She wanted to use her technical skills as a software engineer in a company that aligned with her values. She worked hard in the bootcamp as well as on her job search. She started applying for jobs a few weeks into the program and quickly lined up a series of interviews.
Courtney quickly secured a job offer as a Full Stack Developer at Synergex International Corporation six days before she graduated the bootcamp. She is thrilled with her job, where she has found great mentorship and support. She has already come back to GA and spoken on alumni panels and passed on her advice to current students. “Getting an opportunity to go to General Assembly has been a complete blessing to my growing family. Rancho Cordova allowed me to make the transition from a full-time job to the bootcamp without the risk of going into debt, and for that I will be forever grateful. With the resources offered by GA, I was able to land a job before I even graduated the bootcamp. My new job as a software engineer has been so enjoyable. I am making more money, but more importantly I am a happier person and have job satisfaction which I was missing at my previous job. None of this would be possible without the skills I learned at General Assembly.” - Courtney ● John M.- Prior to the bootcamp, John worked in customer service and sales, as well as driving for Uber during the pandemic. He was a strong coder during the program and GA asked him to stay on as an IA. John worked hard to find a job post-course, continuing to code regularly and apply to jobs. He landed a role with OnDeck Pro as a Jr. Front End Developer. After receiving his offer, he posted advice in GA's "hired-in-tech" slack channel to all current GA job seekers to "Stay positive when facing rejection. Be grateful that you have the opportunity to land a job that lets you work remotely and build cool things. It took a lot of work throughout history to even make our current situations possible." This cohort demonstrated a higher withdrawal rate (39%) than our anticipated average. We saw that the primary reasons learners reported not moving forward included health issues, course 13 ITEM 14.8. ATTACHMENT 8
pace, and academic barriers. One student who withdrew due to health challenges hopes to re-enroll with our subsequent cohort.
GA conducts weekly surveys to understand learners’ comfort with course material and collect feedback on instruction and coaching quality. This allows the GA team to continuously iterate and adjust the classroom and learning environment to allow students to thrive. Students also completed an End of Course survey where they provide numeric ratings of their overall course experience and provide additional comments to support their ratings.
In our pilot Rancho Cordova cohort, six graduates indicated in the survey that they would be interested in coming back to speak to a future class as an alum and/or being an IA for a course or immersive. We hope to leverage program alumni for future recruitment efforts, if funded.
Planned Outcomes
This year we hope to receive funding to operate at least one cohort of SEI with 20 learners.
Based on our previous experience and program outcomes in offering full-time immersive training, we commit to the following outcomes, which will be clearly tracked over the grant period. ● Enroll 20 learners/cohort.
● Achieve an 85% graduation rate.
● Ensure 80% one-year per cohort placement rate in technology related roles for those graduates that participate in outcomes programming.
Nationally, GA graduates earn average starting salaries of $70,000. In Rancho Cordova, entry level data analysts earn starting salaries of $60,000/year and junior software engineers earn starting salaries of $50,000/year. These would be goal salary ranges for our graduates.
Through this engagement, GA hopes to further conversations about skills-based hiring strategies, encouraging employers to consider applicants’ full range of experiences rather than attainment of a four year degree. We design our curricula around practical coursework that demonstrates applicants’ aptitude and ability to jump right into job requirements.
Local Partnerships
Over the past two years, GA has been at the frontlines of establishing cross-sector collaborations to build equity across workforce systems. Covid-19 prompted what our partners at the Adecco Group term a “great re-evaluation,” a time in which private and public actors alike must rethink their roles in bridging the gap between learning and working, education and economic mobility.
Preparing to launch our second cohort in Rancho Cordova, GA strives to integrate our work into the existing social and economic support infrastructure. We are excited to engage a coalition of local organizations with deep ties to the community. United Way California Capital Region, Valley Vision, and the Folsom Cordova Community Partnership have all expressed their support in building a cross-referral network, with a focus on referring their job seekers and introductory 14 ITEM 14.8.
