Performance
a. PY13 Qtr 1 WIA Federal Performance (unofficial) – the State’s best
unofficial guess of how things are going – DOL is adding over 60 metrics
to measure in database
b. PY13 Qtr 1 & 2 Strategic Dashboard Report for Youth Services –
Jennifer reported – federal measures being met above 80% of federal
target, PCYC on track for local measures, modifications to contracts done
on time, 2100 students participating at Career Day, challenges in the
enhanced employment opportunities for youth in the PCYC, caution in the
K-12 partnerships, CareerLink needs employer engagement and
participation, growth partnership going well.
c. PCYC PY13 Qtr 2 Strategic Plan Report – Liz Dunbar reported on track
on target, a few measures below target planned to address, moving
forward with partnership and collaborative activities, presentation and
working with Business Connection. Brent Capatch new youth coordinator,
review shows PCYC met compliance target goals for 2nd qtr. Tim asked
for motion to recommend authorizing the 10% performance payment.
Motion made by Russ Johnson, seconded by Mark Martinez. Approved.
One abstention – Richard Corak. Liz shared data on the demographics of
racially and ethnically diverse population served – over 50% youth of
color, 17-19% Latino youth, 15% youth with disability, high single parent,
ex-offenders.
“Connecting Business & People” 3650 S. Cedar Street – Tacoma, Washington 98409 d. PY13 Qtr 1 & 2 K-12 Contract Performance – Karen reported –
 Orting Sch Dist had target of 40 at-risk or out-of-school youth, identified 32, 17

and alcohol counseling, occupational training, transportation to the PC Skills Center,

college application assistance, community awareness – collected food for local food
bank, awareness on human trafficking, campaign for environmental protection.
Outcome benchmarks are 40 youth to get high school diploma or GED by June 30,
2014.
 Monster Gov’t Solutions, workshops scheduled in Orting in February and April and
finalize career exploration. Target for TCH is 75 youth, 22 identified, 13 enrolled,
plan to enroll 25 youth in next 2 qtrs, start delayed due to late contract start in
October, services provided – 10 received GED, 13 in 96 hour internship, next steps
to extend pathways to education at CPTC, access to Fresh Start high school
program. Challenges with new GED program, identify youth to complete GED in
2013 or wait until 2014 to enroll, WA state doesn’t know what is happening with the
2014 GED yet, not sure when tests will be ready to start.
e. In-school Youth Attainments and Training Providers – Karen shared a list of trainers the
providers use for courses and training providers. Roll-up report follow-up 2010 in-school and
out-of-school youth attainment outcome - 144%, an additional quarter added to contract
extended to June 30, captured June timeframe with high school graduates, different inschool/out-of-school split – 40/60 more out-of-school youth. Liz commented, definition of who
is in-school, another challenge to address, have counted all in GED program as out-ofschool, and now counts as in-school, if in GED when enrolled.
VI. Career Link Presentation and action request – important for youth to have on the job
experience and how to better link youth in schools to business community, Linda Bremer and
Sid Sandstrom presented, county school districts have CareerCruising software program for
career exploration and to create portfolios, WFC purchased CareerLink software that
connects to main program and we need to reach out to business community to populate
website to connect youth to public and private employers
a. Linda B working with Michele Sein-Ryan, school district career counselor with SAMI and
SOTA, she sees the value for youth to connect with employers through career fairs,
works with school, also working with John Page to implement in all schools,
Superintendent Santorno and Deputy Superintendent Garcia are supportive, the goal is
to have the tool countywide for all students to access,
b. Linda gave a demonstration on how the software website works, how to navigate to
employer engagement and career exploration and move into career pathways.
c. Students, educators, parents, employers can access the system, and the student has a
password for life that they can use wherever they are located. The system uses a job
posting feature through Career Builder and Monster, the national databases for jobs.
d. For safety measures to students, the school liaison will make direct contact to an
employer that a student is interested in to coordinate the work with students.
e. What WFC needs is to add the employer piece, to have employers in Pierce County enter
information about their organization directly on the software.
VII. Manchester Bidwell replication and update – several WDC & Youth council members and
Bates trustee board chair visited center in Pittsburgh, PA, need $150K to begin a 9-12 month
feasibility study and planning process for replication, get community buy-in - Bill Strickland,
created philosophy and center 40 years ago training and saving lives of young adults with
afterschool programs, art programs, culinary programs, gardening program, jazz recording
studio. Removes roadblocks for access and opportunity for the underserved youth. The
center is customized to the community. Tim recommended to use $50K of K-12 funding to
use towards study, money is not spent until have local commitment. General Plastics has
pledged $25K. Once the funding is in place, pull the community to partner and work together.
Mark Martinez suggested sharing the costs with the WDC Adult funding. Asking
private/foundation for additional funding.

RFP Update – Tim Owens asked staff to provide documentable models that work, not
ready to release RFP in the next few months, need two more funding team meetings to
decide what to have in the RFP. The Youth Council is dedicated to using WIA funds to
strategically connect youth to pathways for post-secondary education with in-demand
career credentials, apprenticeships for employment. The overarching goal is to have
these pathways lead to a living wage job while meeting federal standards and local
measures. The particular focus will be placed on offering service delivery models proven
effective through research industry driven opportunities, parent and adult and community
engagement. The alignment with existing educational reengagement programs.
Changed to 25/75 in-school/out-of-school service delivery 3 yrs ago. The funding team
recommendation is to continue programs in place for approximately 6 months at a
minimum. We will release the RFP when it is presentable to release. If we change how
to do the service delivery system, we will build in a transition period. Question from
Richard: why an RFP? There were outcomes that the youth council didn’t see the last
RFP produce. The hang-up is getting the outcome measurables more defined. What are
the specifics that we are really trying to accomplish? Be concrete, be specific, have
smart goals that can be agreed on. There may be ways to come up with something in
less time invasive than an RFP. The Youth Council can decide to solicit an RFP for
whatever timeline providing funding available. Goal of funding team was to give an
update and give summary of what the group is thinking. Connect youth to pathways in
post-secondary education with high demand career credentials, connection to
apprenticeship and/or employment. Overarching goal of this pathway is a living wage job
while meeting federal standards and local measures. Particular focus will be placed in
offering service delivery models proven effective through research or demonstration. So
whoever is proposing should be able to demonstrate that what you are offering works.
Industry driven opportunities (better connection to the business community) in terms of
everything you do, they should be informing you, to tell you what you what they need, to
hire the people you are preparing. Parent, adult and community engagement, to have a
support base. Alignment with existing educational reengagement program, 75% out-ofschool, 25% in-school - strategies, partners, models. These components and elements
should be in the in RFP request, clearly articulated. The current PCYC level of
performance is being met. The youth council may not have been clear enough of desired
outcomes they want which maybe different that what’s on the table.
Summer Jobs 253 and action request – last summer City of Tacoma City Council used
$150K from gang prevention funding to pilot a summer youth program to serve 50 young
adults and received credit who were credit deficient. Mayor wants to serve more youth
every Summer, goal to raise $350 to serve 150 youth with paid work experience and
workshops, city has committed $50K, Mayor is requesting funding from private sectors
and to host young adults. Linda ask for WIA dollar for dollar match of the city funding
from mitigation or carryover funds. Motion made by Richard Corak, seconded by Peter
Guzman to use $50K towards the Summer Jobs 253. Contingencies if additional $300K
not raised, money returned – amended motion. Approved.
