Regardless of any transfer or assignment of advance payments to subrecipients, Grantee shall be liable to the SGC for compliance with this paragraph and for any failures by subrecipients to perform contractual obligations or to comply with the requirements of this section.

All unused funding and interest earned provided as an advance payment, but not spent down within the grant timeline, shall be returned to SGC. ii. Eligible Costs
Grantee should refer to the TCC Guidelines, including Appendix B, for eligible cost requirements. To the extent that the provisions of this Section may conflict with the TCC Guidelines, this Section takes precedent.
a. Indirect costs are costs of doing business that are of a general nature and not directly tied to the grant, but necessary for the general operation of the organization.

These costs may account for no more than 12% of the awarded TCC funds minus any funds for equipment purchases with a per unit cost of $5,000.00 or more. The 12% maximum of indirect cost applies to Grantee and all Partners or subcontractors.

Reimbursement requests for indirect/overhead costs must be proportionate to the direct costs billed in an invoice.
b. Direct costs will be reimbursable with TCC funds. Direct costs are defined as costs directly tied to the implementation of the Grant Agreement. In addition, insurance premiums are only an eligible cost to the extent that the cost of coverage increased because of the award or Project requirements. Grantees must adhere to the following requirements:
(i) Pre-development costs may account for up to ten percent (10%) of related capital improvement costs for each Project and should not exceed five percent (5%) of total awarded TCC Funds. These activities and costs should occur within the first year of the grant term to meet readiness requirements.

Construction management tied to project implementation is a direct project cost and will not be subject to the cap on "pre-development" costs. (ii) Water and wastewater connections may account for up to ten percent (10%) of the total TCC award for Grantees that need to meet program policy requirements for basic infrastructure access.
(iii) The eligible use of heavy-duty trucks and equipment shall be reimbursed at the then-current rate set by the California Department of Transportation “Labor Surcharge and Equipment Rental Rate” guide.

EXHIBIT C – SPECIAL TERMS AND CONDITONS Part 1 – Transformative Plans Project # and Name: 4 - Energy for All - Single-Family Strategy: 4 - Solar Installation, Energy Efficiency, and Appliance Electrification
Lead Entity: GRID Alternatives North Valley
Project Description: GRID will provide 393 kW-DC of installed solar capacity benefitting up to 87 low-income single-family households/property owners in the Project Area, including 32-35 cool roofs, while engaging learn-and-earn trainee participants in the project implementation. GRID will complete solar readiness (e.g., roof repairs) of homes to install solar as needed.

Operations & Maintenance Plan: Warranties for the solar systems are factored into the solar installation's initial costs and TCC grant request, so they are provided at no additional cost to the client. GRID will repair and service any issues under our 10-year labor warranty, starting from the date of solar installation completion. This is in addition to any third-party owner's 5-year roof penetration warranty, and a 20-year no-cost repair warranty. These warranties do not cover issues unrelated to the solar system or any pre-existing conditions.

The typical long-term maintenance required is keeping the panels clean and free of additional shade. For the multifamily solar systems, the owner is responsible for operations and maintenance (“O&M”).

Under a third-party owner prepaid power purchase agreement (PPA), the benefitting low-income households continue to be responsible for keeping greenery trimmed and not permitting any condition that would cause the solar system to not operate as intended. The homeowners and affordable housing owners are responsible for notifying GRID if there is a problem, such as damage, disturbance, or theft of the solar system, so it can be addressed swiftly.

Community Engagement Plan Lead Entity: Public Health Advocates Plan Description: The CEP is an integrative plan to foster coordination and alignment, outreach, capacity-building, and communications. Partners will consistently reach constituencies most impacted by the effects of environmental pollution and continue building trust throughout the Project Area. The CEP centers residents by emphasizing meaningful participation and recognizing them as key decision-makers.

The Community Engagement Implementation Team (CEIT) includes community-based organizations Public Health Advocates (PHA), Little Manila Rising (LMR), and Catholic Charities (CC). The CEIT will develop educational campaigns and communication strategies for Stockton Rising and facilitate input from residents and the steering committee. The CEIT will also host quarterly Community Coalition Meetings (CCMs), annual summits, and at least two block parties. CCMs will serve as both a venue for educational campaigns to promote climate resiliency and communicate updates on Stockton Rising project implementation.

To guarantee resident capacity building, two resident-centered programs will be implemented. PHA will train resident "Climate Leaders" to become community experts on Stockton Rising. LMR will implement the youth advocates project to engage local youth around climate resiliency, and will conduct annual PhotoVoice walking tours of the area to capture the challenges, opportunities, and progress of TCC projects and resident perspectives through an interactive online story map.

Community Engagement Plan (CEP)
I. Plan Overview
There are four main strategies that make up the Community Engagement Plan (CEP):
coordination and alignment, resident capacity building, education campaigns, and communication. Part of this structure is the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee will consist of all Stockton Rising partners, City staff, and a minimum of 6 Resident Representatives. The Steering Committee is responsible for coordination and alignment across all working teams to foster collaboration, community oversight, and consistent messaging.

Resident Representatives will be responsible for reviewing project implementation and recommending internal benchmarks for Partners to maximize engagement within the community.

The Community Engagement Implementation Team (CEIT) is made up of CEP Partners; Public Health Advocates (PHAdvocates), Little Manila Rising (LMR), and Catholic Charities (CC). The CEIT ensures the CEP is effectively executed with input from the Steering Committee. The CEIT will develop educational campaigns and communication strategies to ensure information on Stockton Rising projects and education on climate resiliency is met.

The CEIT will be responsible for organizing and hosting quarterly Community Coalition Meetings (CCMs), annual Summits, and at least two Block Parties. CCMs will serve as both a venue for educational campaigns to promote climate resiliency and communicate updates on Stockton Rising project implementation. CCMs will be open to the general public and serve as a feedback loop, giving project area residents a space to develop relationships with each other.

Block Parties will convene residents and the general community to celebrate with, outreach to, and recruit community residents. A minimum of two will be scheduled over the grant term, with the potential to host more contingent on available funding. The Annual Summit will serve as a convening of civic leaders, businesses, and resident interests to share project data & analysis, gather feedback, and promote consensus building for the community.

To guarantee resident capacity building, two resident-centered programs will be implemented.

A total of 20 residents, called “Climate Leaders” (CL)s, will be recruited and trained by Public Health Advocates (PHAdvocates) to become community experts on Stockton’s TCC Implementation Grant. Simultaneously, Little Manila Rising will develop a youth leaders engagement project called “Youth Advocates” to become climate resiliency experts. For communication, PHAdvocates and the TCC Program Manager will post regular social media updates, and CEIT partners will create a PhotoVoice for annual share out and a Success Story Video series for publicity.

II. CEP Summary
Community engagement and leadership is central to Stockton Rising’s success. Opportunities for resident and stakeholder feedback, participation, and leadership development will be cultivated across the TCC Plan. To ensure we engage residents within the project area, the CEIT will partner with businesses, community-based organizations, and faith-based

organizations that serve residents within the project area. Additionally, the CEIT will partner with known and trusted residents that reside in the area to assist with outreach.

a. Engagement methods
Little Manila Rising (LMR) will lead the community youth engagement program. LMR will recruit and develop up to 24 youth to become climate resiliency experts (up to 6 youth annually). LMR and consultants will conduct training utilizing the Central California Environmental Justice Network (CCEJN) Environmental Justice 101 curriculum and curriculum built under Round 3 of TCC. Youth leaders will ultimately become experts on environmental justice and the goals of Stockton Rising and the benefits of each of the capital projects. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Stockton (CCDS) will support engagement efforts by producing multimedia content that will document the various projects implemented by other TCC partners. The multimedia produced will be developed as videos, photographs, flyers, and other electronic engagement materials.

LMR will conduct PhotoVoice walking tours around South Stockton where participants live to get a sense of the challenges and opportunities of TCC. These photovoice tours will be done once a year and provide some visual documentation of the changing neighborhood over the four years and residents' perspectives on that change or non-change. LMR plans to have these PhotoVoice results available in an interactive online map where people can click on the points and pull up the picture as well as the commentary. These pictures will also be printed out and displayed at the residential block party and final data summit.

The CEIT and partners will host an annual summit for project area residents, organizations, and business owners to review progress and learn about evaluation metrics. Partners will assist with event planning and coordination, including securing a venue and reserving event rentals and conducting outreach to project area residents. The CEIT will plan and host at least two Stockton Rising Block Parties to celebrate project success and engage residents.

PHAdvocates will train community liaisons known as “Climate Leaders” (CLs) to become experts on Stockton’s TCC Implementation Grant and act as community liaisons. PHAdvocates will recruit 10 residents per cohort and train each cohort over an 18-month period on topics such as environmental justice, advocacy, community engagement, and Stockton Rising funded projects. PHAdvocates will identify & recruit residents identified as being trusted & well-known within their neighborhoods for their willingness to share resources & information as well as their strong relationships within their communities. CL’s will use an organic approach to outreach that will rely on utilizing existing relationships and relaying information in a matter that is accessible and relatable to project area residents.

The CEIT will partner with the 20 trusted and known residents to implement the Stockton Rising CEP. Climate Liaisons will undergo 30 hours of training over the course of 15 sessions covering topics ranging from environmental justice and climate resilience to information sessions on all of the capital projects. Additionally, Climate Liaisons will undergo training on each of the capital improvement, workforce development projects, and Displacement Avoidance Plan led by the leader agencies and partners. Climate Liaisons will share the information they learn with the

community, assist with outreaching to encourage residents to attend the quarterly CCMs, and assist with evaluation.

The Community Coalition Meeting (CCM) is another integral part of the CEP that will provide a space for residents, project area businesses, and organization partners to engage in Stockton Rising. CCMs will be held quarterly within the project area in an accessible location to maximize participation. As the CEP lead, PHAdvocates will create CCM agendas and handle logistics along with City of Stockton TCC staff. The space will be resident-centered and provide an important avenue for residents to hear project updates, learn about implementation progress, participate in community-education workshops, and provide feedback on successes & challenges. Grievances that arise during a CCM and require additional attention will be addressed through the CSS.

b. Decision-making processes
A minimum of six (6) Resident Representatives will serve in the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure (CSS) through participation in the quarterly Steering Committee. Resident Representatives will be selected from the project area via an application process, that will include an interest form & interview, that will be developed by project partners. Resident Representatives will ensure that the TCC Plan implementation remains aligned & accountable to community priorities & concerns. Resident Representatives are members of the CSS decision-making body and will participate in the Mandatory Consultation Process (reference section III.b). Resident Representatives will receive a stipend per meeting attended.

c. Role of partners and history of their involvement in the community Stockton Rising will continue to focus on uplifting and bringing into the fold residents who live and work in a roughly five square-mile service area of south-central Stockton. Neighborhoods within this boundary include Conway Homes & Van Buskirk Park in the southwest, most of downtown & the Little Manila Historic Area in the north, the Homestead & McKinley Park in the center & south, and Stribley Park & surrounding homes to the east.

The target population for all community engagement activities will be low-income and historically marginalized communities. Each partner sitting on the CEIT have close ties to the communities representing the project area and will utilize its existing relationship with residents, business, and other organizations to maximize outreach and engagement.

CCDS will leverage its network of multiple Catholic churches in South Stockton with large Latinx and Filipinx communities, Little Manilla Rising will use its more than 20 years of experience advocating for marginalized communities in the Project Area and relationship with the largest high school within the Project Area, and PHAdvocates will continue to engage African American residents, churches, and the organizations that serve them.

All Stockton Rising partners benefit from a common shared outreach strategy and the CEIT will work to emphasize, promote, & expand reach of existing partners’ outreach & engagement

strategies. PHA will coordinate with Edible Schoolyard staff and LMR’s DAWN Program staff to distribute Stockton Rising fliers through CSA box distributions and LMR’s home visit, respectively.

d. Plans to ensure engagement of hard-to-reach populations All partners will actively engage additional stakeholders, specifically those with close ties to groups not currently engaged by existing partners. Building on our existing relationships, the CEWT will use outreach strategies that have been proven to work in reaching the hard-to-reach population. We propose to utilize the following strategies: social media, door to door outreach, word of mouth, CLs, multimedia content, existing resident groups within the project area, Faith- based and community-based clients/members, and high school and junior college campus outreach. Additionally, to meet Stockton’s multilingual needs, requests for translation services at meetings/events will be indicated on registration forms. Current materials are printed in both English & Spanish, and efforts will be made to translate materials when engaging with communities where neither of the aforementioned languages are the predominant ones spoken.

e. Public information and public complaint process
Public information will be shared through the Community Coalition, social media updates, City website page for Stockton Rising and information shared via the Climate Leaders. Residents will be able share complaints through the Community Coalition, Climate Leaders, and the City will utilize its resident request management system known as AskStockton to collect public complaints as well. Minor grievances that can be resolved quickly will be done so and addressed through the Community Coalition. Issues involving partners, scope of project, and/or budget will be escalated through the Collaborative Stakeholder Structure (CSS and resolved in accordance with the CSS procedures outlined in the Partner Agreement).

III. Collaborative Stakeholder Structure
The Stockton Collaborative Stakeholder Structure (CSS) comprises community-serving organizations, local government partners, stakeholders, and residents committed to the equitable and sustainable development of the Project Area. Historic disinvestment has produced unequal and ongoing socioeconomic, environmental, and public health outcomes. The CSS will consist of a Steering Committee, 2 Working Groups, and the Community Coalition Meeting. The Steering Committee will include at least 6 residents who will serve as voting members.

The Steering Committee sets the standards and metrics for the Community Engagement Working Group (CEWG), who in turn set internal policies, oversight, recommendations, and assistance to the CEIT to guarantee implementation. Residents are not required, but will be encouraged, to participate in the CEWG.

Resident Representatives will be trained through capacity building programs and be given the opportunity to participate in the CSS. Resident Representatives will serve for the duration of the grant term, attend quarterly Steering Committee Meetings, and are highly encouraged to regularly attend the CCMs to provide regular updates and opportunities for feedback. The CEIT will develop an outreach and selection process for the CLs, Youth Advocates/Leaders, and Resident Representatives, building on the process used to select CLs during the TCC Planning

Grant. This process will include an application that meets the needs of the community, such as allowing for video in addition to written submissions.

The CEWG will develop procedures for the removal or replacement of Resident Representatives who fail to fulfill their obligations or resign their position. a. History of CSS Development
The CSS was developed out of existing meeting practices, which were developed iteratively since 2017, and updated to meet the needs of TCC grant implementation. Given the number of collaborative partners and different areas of focus or expertise, the CSS includes various working groups to maximize efficiency. These include the Steering Committee, Community Engagement and Workforce Development, and the Community Coalition. As implied, these groups are intended to meet not only to provide project or administrative updates but also to work and move forward together. Accountability and leadership from residents is ensured through the Community Coalition, and coordination and alignment is ensured through the Steering Committee which consists of Project Lead Entities and other working groups. b. Decision-making and community engagement processes
The CSS is committed to working together collaboratively to build a more resilient Stockton.

Therefore, as established in the Stockton Rising Partner Agreement, it seeks to make consensus-based decisions to the fullest extent possible, barring extraordinary circumstances.

Understanding that this project will need to be administered in accordance with the existing governance of each of our Partners, the project timeline and budget. Given this constraint, the CSS outlines the decision-making and conflict resolution protocols to follow for the different types of decisions that may need to be made.

At decision points, partners within each relevant Working Group and Project Lead Entities will use the decision-making spectrum to identify what kind of decision needs to be made, endeavoring to make consensus- based decisions to the fullest extent possible.

The Community Coalition functions as a primary venue for broad resident accountability and feedback. Any concerns, issues, or challenges brought up by residents in the Community Coalition will be referred to the Community Engagement Working Team at a minimum. If the concerns cannot be addressed solely by the CEWT, the Steering Committee must address resident concerns. The same process goes for any concerns raised by Resident Representatives. Resident Representatives are highly encouraged to attend Community Coalition meetings and to elevate issues raised in the Community Coalition. Lastly, broad engagement methods (such as door-to-door outreach, use of social media, engagement through established neighborhood groups, the Block Party and Annual Summit) will be utilized in order to continue engaging new residents in TCC implementation. Resident feedback, questions or concerns heard via these methods will be discussed and addressed by the CEWT.

IV. History of TCC Proposal Development

a. Community engagement process
Stockton’s TCC Proposal builds on a deep history of community engagement, beginning with the adoption of the 2014 Climate Action Plan (CAP). The CAP was developed in response to activism by the local Sierra Club chapter and provides a roadmap of twenty-six measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gasses in Stockton.

In 2016, Fathers & Families of San Joaquin (FFSJ) co-hosted two meetings with the Greenlining Institute to explore the history of redlining in Stockton and improve environmental and public health outcomes. The first community forum focused on aligning environmental and health strategies and connected nearly 80 residents with representatives from various statewide organizations, including the California Strategic Growth Council. In the second meeting, community and local government stakeholders gathered to learn more about climate investments and strategize on how to work collaboratively together on environmental justice issues. These meetings sparked collaboration between community-based organizations and the City of Stockton for the eventual TCC Planning Grant.

In 2018, the City and seven Co-Applicants (CCDS, PUENTES, PHAdvocates, Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, STAND, and Third City Coalition) received a TCC Planning Grant to carry out a robust outreach and engagement process. Through this, partners created a Sustainable Neighborhood Plan (SNP) that identified residents’ priorities from Stockton’s 2014 CAP. To shepherd this collaborative work, TCC partners came together as the Rise Stockton coalition.

Partners in the Rise Stockton coalition conducted extensive outreach and engagement to better understand the collective priorities of nearly 2,000 Planning Area residents. This outreach resulted in 33 public meetings around community priorities, ranging from targeted focus groups to workshops to town halls. This feedback was complemented by two surveys receiving a total of 239 responses to identify specific project ideas. Additional methods included informal conversations with residents, businesses, and other stakeholders, canvassing of Planning Area neighborhoods, presentations, and seminars. Through this outreach, the Rise Stockton coalition represented grounded community visions and positive relationships between residents and stakeholders such as the City. This extensive outreach and engagement culminated in the development and approval of the SNP.

b. Decision-making processes
Using the SNP as a guide, partners developed the community engagement plan throughout November 2019 to February 2020 for TCC Round 3. The City, members of the Rise Stockton coalition, and new project implementation partners hosted outreach meetings for stakeholders within the Project Area. The City and Partners convened a shared decision-making body to determine project scoping, and the final set of proposed Projects based on the overlap of resident priorities (identified in the SNP) and the requirements of the TCC grant. The TCC

Vision Statement is a reflection of the community’s vision, focusing on developing essential infrastructure to improve resident health and well-being, reduce energy usage and increase household income, and build workforce training pipelines to stimulate the local economy. The City and Partners followed a similar process for Round 4 and will continue to make decisions collaboratively in consultation with the community.

Workforce Development and Economic Opportunities Plan (WDEOP) I. Plan Overview
The Workforce Development and Economic Opportunities Plan (WDEOP) recognizes that building new economic power belongs in the hands of those who have disproportionately experienced the burden of living in highly pollution-burdened and disinvested communities.

The WDEOP will create high-quality jobs and develop training programs focused on the specific needs of Project Area residents and the local workforce. The WDEOP-funded projects are: (1) a summer youth program focused on residential energy and water efficiency, (2) a garden program for incarcerated individuals, (3) a 15-week urban greening and conservation training program that trains local system-impacted adults in forestry basics, conservation, land stewardship, and job readiness skills, and (4) targeted recruitment and wrap-around services for Project Area residents to complete a variety of locally available training programs that train individuals for multi-craft apprenticeship readiness, truck driving, welding, and software developing. These programs will expand economic opportunity and workforce access - whether through new career training pathways or exposing communities to the hands-on skill development necessary for high-quality jobs to take root in the Project Area. Over four years, the WDEOP should result in approximately 52 trained individuals. The metrics shared are from the collective organizations:
• Rising Sun: Goal of 14 trained through the Climate Careers program, and facilitation of training for 4 individuals in local certified training programs • Little Manilla: 28 trained individuals in urban forestry • GRID: No quantitative goal, but rather qualitative initiatives to support existing programs; outlined above; staff personnel program management • Insight Garden: Goal of 40 participants enrolled in inreach programming and 4 participants receiving full services

The WDEOP will work in strong collaboration with other TCC-funded workforce projects, which include a solar installation to address challenges, identify thoughtful recruitment strategies and increase the workforce programs' visibility in the Project Area. In serving these communities, Stockton’s particular focus is on communities of color, opportunity youth, and formerly incarcerated individuals.

II. WDEOP Summary
a. Workforce needs and opportunities for Project Area residents Successful implementation of workforce development training programs and high-quality job creation will provide a necessary stimulus to Stockton’s workforce. Education is a persistent challenge for Stockton’s future workforce. 48.7% of residents in the Project Area over the age of 25 have less than a high school education. Accessibility remains an issue for training and supportive services. There is a glaring lack of affordable middle-skills job training that directly links to gainful employment; this is in addition to the need for services like reliable transportation, stable housing, affordable childcare, financial literacy, and barrier removal case management.

According to census tract data, the Project Area has an 18.6% unemployment rate, compared to the state average of 3.9%. This number in part results from a shortage of diverse, high-quality employment opportunities.

The major driver of job growth has been the region’s relatively lower cost to operate business (i.e. a low-wage labor force). Historically, one of the city’s points of economic leverage has been

the availability of land, which has encouraged wealth to move in, mostly bringing with it low-value work. The most common job groups pertain to office & administrative support, sales-related occupations, as well as production and material moving. The primary industries in the region are retail trade, healthcare & social assistance, manufacturing, and construction; many of their training needs require workers who can continuously adapt - particularly to learn how to maintain and work alongside machines.

With the notable exceptions of healthcare and the trades, most of these industries are not known for producing high-quality employment locally. Even when accounting for entry-level and experienced-level wages, Stockton’s dominant industries are barely able to provide living-wage jobs for a single adult household. What’s more, they are seldom able to provide living-wage jobs for households comprised of an adult and a child. Thus, the workforce component of TCC projects includes apprenticeship pathways, credentials, and training that prioritizes the community’s exposure to growth in emerging green sectors and provides wrap-around services that support participants as they are completing their training programs.

b. Programs and services selected to address Project Area need • How the plan will fill the workforce needs and gaps
Stockton’s workforce demands a diverse set of solutions to its development and training needs.

The strong collaboration between the four distinct programs being funded by TCC will target growing occupations and industries in the Project Area, reduce barriers to employment, enhance employment readiness, amplify financial literacy, and strategically align with the goals of Stockton’s workforce development board. The WDEOP will also include an overarching TCC workforce coordinator.

Gaps exist to strengthen the quality of opportunity for those from the project area. The WDEOP plan will use an array of intentional initiatives as a pillar for retention and support. Such as:
targeted recruitment, stipends, wrap-around services for trainees to complete local training programs, engaging previously incarcerated populations, and working with employers to develop partnerships for job placements. Furthermore, The inclusion of  wrap-around services for trainees will address the need for stabilization and the meeting of basic needs as critical foundations necessary for individuals to fully engage and access services/training made available by WDEOP partners

Rising Sun Center for Opportunity (Rising Sun) will house the workforce coordinator position within TCC's Collaborative Stakeholder Structure for the first 2.5 years of the grant term. Another WDEOP partner and/or Rising Sun will assume the workforce coordinator position for the remaining term of the grant. This position will organize and lead monthly meetings that include TCC partners, stakeholders, and resident representatives. The purpose of these meetings will be to gather insights and updates and then report on the progress of the WDEOP and its objectives moving forward. These objectives should be aligned with the overall goals stated in the WDEOP while remaining adaptive to the Project Area’s demographic, economic, and workforce environment.

We will also utilize a portion of our WDEOP funding to lease a site space in Stockton that will be available to all TCC-funded workforce partners and can be utilized for the following purpose (not an inclusive list): (1) In-person workforce training programs for GRID Alternatives, Little Manila

Rising, and Rising Sun Center for Opportunity, (2) In-person monthly WDEOP meetings, (3) Workforce program recruitment and outreach events, (4) WDEOP partners’ internal staff meetings/retreats, (5) Program inventory storage.

• Alignment with the TCC Workforce Program criteria (prepare Project Area residents for long-term high-quality career pathways) Because of Stockton’s myriad barriers to employment and job-readiness needs, the solutions under the workforce development and training plan vary in industry and occupation. • Rising Sun is partnering with San Joaquin Building Trades, California Human Development, and CodeStack Academy to recruit and train residents of the Project Area in one of the following: a Multi-Craft apprenticeship readiness program, truck driving program, welding program and software developer program. • The Insight Garden Program will tailor a vocational gardening and landscaping training program to reentry populations’ needs and will create a supportive bridge between incarceration and life back in the Stockton community. • The Urban Forestry Program will build upon its existing urban forestry training program that focuses on arboriculture and landscape training for adults in re-entry and local youth from South Stockton through on-the-job training in tree planting and maintenance, career pathway shadowing with local foresters, nurseries, conservation groups, and directly supporting the community stewardship of trees in city streetscapes and parkways.

We are also in strong collaboration with other TCC-funded workforce programs listed below that also do vary in industry and occupation.
• GRID Alternatives offers an Installation Basics Training (IBT) solar installation program, which enables residents of the Project Area to learn skills in construction in the solar industry, job readiness, and professional development.

c. Job Training Plan

Rising Sun’s Pipeline to Multi-Craft apprenticeship readiness program, truck driving program, welding program, and software developer program

Rising Sun Center for Opportunity (Rising Sun) plans to partner with San Joaquin Building Trades (SJBT), California Human Development (CHD), and CodeStack Academy to provide residents of the Project Area with pathways to the trades, transportation, and software industries. SJBT provides the Multi-Craft apprenticeship readiness program that offers a robust training curriculum that will include an introduction to electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, and more. Participants obtain OSHA 10, blueprint reading, forklift, and MC3 certifications. CHD provides a truck driving program that offers technical knowledge, theory, and behind-the-wheel skills necessary to operate and maneuver a Commercial Class A tractor-trailer. Participants obtain a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). CHD provides a welding program that offers instruction in trade tools, interpreting blueprints, material handling, welding thermal cutting metallurgy template pattern development plate, structural fabrication destructive and non-destructive testing, shipment preparation, and fabrication installation. Participants receive their welding certification. CodeStack Academy provides a software developer program that offers immersive training on coding design patterns, front-end and back-end development, cloud computing, web applications, mobile applications, Javascript, and HTML5, among others. Participants are guaranteed a 2-month internship with
