PROJECT NARRATIVE AND WORK PLAN
FRAMEWORK
Target Population
1. Describe how the project will address:
a) barriers faced by the dislocated worker youth;
b) target dislocated youth subsectors (out-of-school youth (OSY) ages OSY 18-24); c) economic and racial inequity, especially in underinvested communities. a) Barriers faced by dislocated youth workers
Dislocated youth workers face numerous barriers to re-employment. Many have limited work history or experience, which makes it very difficult for them to compete successfully for a job with older adults who have been in the workforce longer. If they do have experience, it is often in lower-skilled occupations such as retail, food service and hospitality, which have seen a dramatic drop in employment due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (See attached data document indicating youth unemployment resulting from the pandemic, disproportionate levels of unemployment for youth of color and for youth from low income families, and the extremely high levels of job loss for young people in the leisure and hospitality sector.) A majority of youth workers also lack the training and skills needed to find employment that is well-paid and that offers opportunities for advancement.
Dislocated youth workers, who are likely to be low-skilled, may also be youth who are homeless or foster youth, and have significant supportive service needs. Additional barriers may include justice system involvement, foster and homeless youth, a lack of basic skills in math and English, and having another language besides English as one’s primary language.
Youth with disabilities also tend to have higher unemployment rates than the general population, and may have greater difficulty becoming re-employed due to the lack of understanding among employers of the assets they bring to the workplace. LGBTQ+ youth may be estranged from their families and living in a foster setting or homeless as a result.
The proposed program will address these potential barriers experienced by dislocated worker
DYWIC PY 20-21
Project Narrative Exhibit A Page 2 of 9 March 21
youth through multiple strategies. It will address a lack of work history and skills by providing earn and learn opportunities through paid work experience and apprenticeships in occupations with career pathways to well-paid employment. This will enable participants to support themselves as they gain new experiences that make them more competitive in the job market.
The program will offer case management to participants, designed to identify strengths and needs, connecting youth to key services that they require to succeed in training and employment. As needed, youth will be directed to the Literacy for Every Adult Program and West Contra Costa Adult Education in order to improve basic skills, English fluency, and to attain a high school diploma or GED. Youth with aptitude and interest will be directed to Contra Costa College, where they can pursue certificated or degree based training. Youth will also be provided with supports for services such as transportation, obtaining a driver’s license, childcare, clothes for interviews/work, etc.
b) Targeting youth subsectors (OSY 18-24)
The proposed program will offer services that are designed to address the unique needs of each subsector of Out of School Youth. Based upon the current demand for Richmond YouthWORKS services by age group, the project plans to serve approximately 50 Out of School Youth ages 18-24.
Out of School Youth have a significant need for educational and other services to help them improve their future employment prospects. To address these needs the program will work with the Richmond Police Activities League (RPAL) (letter of commitment attached) and the RYSE Youth Center, both of which offer an array of supportive services directed at OSY ages 18-24 and which will play an important role in outreach. These organizations will support a strong focus on educational support and attainment of a high school diploma or GED for those who need it. Literacy for Every Adult Program (LEAP) and West Contra Costa Adult Education (letter of commitment attached) will also offer Basic Skills and English Literacy instruction.
To serve OSY ages 18-24, the program will also partner with Richmond Promise (letter of commitment attached), which funds the cost of tuition for young people in Richmond seeking a post-secondary education, which will enable participants to receive a credential or degree in their chosen occupational field. Because the Richmond Promised is directed towards students enrolled in high school, the focus for some of the younger out of school youth will be to get them re-enrolled in high school in order to be eligible for Richmond Promise services, which include the assignment of a mentor. Students who are able to re-enroll in school will become eligible for up to $1,500 per year, and a total of $6,000 towards the cost of college or a post-secondary career training program.
DYWIC PY 20-21
Project Narrative Exhibit A Page 3 of 9 March 21
The program will also offer specific services directed to the needs of OSY aged 18-24. Services for this age group will focus more on sector-based training, but will also include educational support. Interested participants will be referred to the full array of training programs that are partnering with the programs, which are described further below, and which are included in the letters of commitment. An example is the RichmondBUILD and Richmond YouthBUILD programs, which offer pre-apprenticeship construction training and entry into a range of building trades through strong partnerships with labor and construction employers, are one potential option. For those participants who have a need for additional educational support YouthBUILD includes a strong educational component.
c) Addressing economic and racial inequity
As recent economic data indicates, a significant majority of laid off youth in Richmond are low income and young people of color. (The attached data document shows the significantly higher unemployment rates for youth ages 16 to 24 who are Black and Latino in comparison to white youth throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as higher unemployment rates for youth in this age group who are from lower income families.) The program will focus services specifically on low income participants, through providing paid work experience that can enable them to support themselves while they are involved in training, and offering a wide array of supportive services through WIOA co-enrollment in programs offered by partners. The program will address racial inequity through culturally competent programming, provision of English Language instruction for participants whose first language is a language other than English, and through the success of its training partners in serving low income young people and youth of color. As an example of the focus of key training partners on addressing economic and racial inequity, the current makeup of RichmondBUILD/ YouthBUILD participants is 60% African American, 25% Latinx, 10% Asian, and 5% other. All participants are at or below the poverty level. In the Bitwise IT training program (letter of commitment attached), 60% of participants are persons of color, 60% are women, and 40% are LGBQTIA+.
Strategies
2. Identify and describe:
a) special targeted strategies for youth outreach, including specific methods that will be utilized to recruit program participants;
b) innovative recruitment methods and how these differ from approaches utilized in the past to serve both youth and dislocated workers. (For example, explain how the applicant’s innovation builds on current practices or demonstrate that a new concept is being tested);
c) program strategies that will be utilized to engage, train, and place dislocated youth workers in career pathways, transition participants into employment, and/or provide dislocated youth access to ongoing career advancement and family-sustaining jobs; d) the relationship between the chosen methods and best practices and what, if any,
DYWIC PY 20-21
Project Narrative Exhibit A Page 4 of 9 March 21
evidence suggests that the approach will be successful. a) Targeted outreach strategies
The program will employ multiple outreach strategies, targeted at specific populations.
The program will work with CBO partners that directly serve this population, including RPAL and RYSE Youth Center. The program will collaborate with West Contra Costa Unified School District (WCCUSD) and Contra Costa County Office of Education (CCCOE) to identify out of school students. Participants will also be recruited from the West Contra Costa Family Justice Center (letter of commitment attached) wraparound program. Referrals will also come from the Contra Costa County Office of Education Court and Community School, and Independent Study, which are housed in the RPAL program facility. Additional CBO partners, such as Weigh of Life, Familias Unidas, and LEAP will provide outreach to the key youth populations that the program will serve. Youth with disabilities will be referred through the STEPS program, operated by the RWDB with WCCUSD and the Department of Rehabilitation.
b) Innovative recruitment methods
Based upon past success with solicitations for specific youth workforce training opportunities, the program will prepare recruiting flyers specific to the seven sector-based training pathways that will be available to participants. (See the list in Section C below.) The program will post information online and using social media, including sites such as Linkedin, Facebook, Instagram, and the City of Richmond website. Information will be posted on the City Manager’s weekly report. The program will also seek potential recruits from Probation, the Foster Youth Program, and Transitional Aged Youth program run by the Employment and Human Services department.
c) Engaging, training and placing dislocated youth in career pathways
As soon as possible after they have been registered for the program, enrollees will meet with their case manager to complete intake and assessment, and to develop an interest profile.
These steps will help determine what services and which education and training pathways are most appropriate for each participant. Participants will also be expected to complete CASA test of basic skills to determine readiness to complete the training--those who do not pass will be referred to basic skills instruction prior to retaking the test.
Participants will have the opportunity to select from training in seven different occupational pathways, provided by experienced partners. These will include: 1)Maritime Trades- Spaulding Marine-Boatworks 101; 2) Information Technology-Bitwise Industries; 3) Medical Assistant- Kaiser School of Allied Health, 4) Emergency Medical Technician-West County Health Pathways Partnership; 5) Construction Trades- RichmondBUILD and YouthBUILD; 6) Environmental Remediation/Urban Forestry- Groundworks; 7) Office Administration-West
DYWIC PY 20-21
Project Narrative Exhibit A Page 5 of 9 March 21
Contra Costa Adult Education. Letters of commitment from each of these training partners is attached.
Once they have selected a specific training option, participants will meet individually with a counselor at the training provider to gain additional support related to identifying and achieving goals. Case managers will also connect with counselors to discuss any concerns or to make additional recommendations regarding the students. For participants with extra barriers, program and CBO staff will work as a team to come up with needed resources.
The case managers will monitor training participants at least twice monthly to ensure that they are actively participating in training and to encourage them to complete the program.
Carrying this out consistently will improve retention and completion, by giving youth the sense that someone cares about how they are doing. Training periods will range in length from 4 months (RichmondBUILD) to 18 months (Boat Works).
Following the completion of training, case managers will work with youth to identify employment opportunities in the sectors in which they have been trained. This activity will include monthly check-ins with each participant for a year after completion of the program.
To support access to employment opportunities, the RWDB YouthWORKS Manager meets with training directors for the various sector-based programs to discuss job openings and connect youth with employers. Follow up by case managers will continue for a year after a participant is employed. At the one year mark, the case manager will have a focused meeting with each employed graduate to determine whether the job is working for them, and when this is not the case, to provide help with finding a job that is a better fit.
The City of Richmond will offer the opportunity for work experience placements in several city departments. Participants will be able to work in the City Attorney’s Office for on-the-job learning of office administration skills. Students will also serve in the Parks and Recreation department, learning environmental remediation with training partner Groundwork.
d) Relationship with best practices and evidence that project will be successful
Many components of the project align with models that have been identified as best practices through research on workforce training strategies for youth. A study of the Year Up program for economically disadvantaged young adults on the Social Programs that Work website https://evidencebasedprograms.org/programs/year-up-program-workforce-training- for-economically-disadvantaged-young-adults/ analyzed a program that included a number of elements similar to the proposed dislocated youth worker program. The program provided workforce training for young people ages 18 to 24 who were neither in school full time nor employed full time. In addition, participants took part in entry-level internships with employers in the IT and financial sectors. Participants realized a 40 percent increase in annual earnings in the third year after random assignment, compared to the control group that did
DYWIC PY 20-21
Project Narrative Exhibit A Page 6 of 9 March 21
not participate in training or internships.
Another program, Per Scholas, also was studied to determine the impact of its services https://evidencebasedprograms.org/programs/per-scholas-employmenttraining-program- for-low-income-workers/and was shown to increase annual earnings by 20 to 30 percent two to six years after program participation. The program provides career training in the IT field, career readiness services (resume and interview preparation), and hands on learning in IT services.

Partnerships with employers
b) How project will contribute to long-term challenge goal of preparing youth for workforce success by 2023
The project will contribute to preparing youth for workforce success by 2023 by developing and strengthening multiple pathways that lead dislocated youth workers to employment in occupations that are well-paid and offer opportunities for advancement. The project will improve life skills, education, and skills competencies, leading to increased employability.
c) How project will lead to increased employment and retention in significant work with a career pathway for dislocated youth workers
The proposed program will achieve the goals of increased employment and retention in work with a career pathway through multiple strategies. The provision of opportunities for paid work experience and apprenticeship will give young people the job experience they need to be more competitive job candidates, and to increase their likelihood of obtaining employment. Employers that provide work experience for participants also serve as potential employers, and the opportunity for the young person to demonstrate their strengths can also give them an added advantage in the hiring process. With regard to significant work with a career pathway, all of the training opportunities that will be available through the project, described in section 3.b. above, are in industry sectors and occupations that are well paid, and that include a career pathway to increased levels of skill, responsibility and compensation.
