WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD
2014 AND 2015 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE
SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
ROLE OF THE WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARD (WIB)
Your Board approved in 2000 the County Ordinance to establish the WIB as the
successor to the Private Industry Council. The WIB is the governing body required by
the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 and the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, in partnership with your Board to receive, administer,
and oversee local workforce services and job training funds for unemployed adults, laidoff workers, and youth. The overall goal of the WIA is to increase employee earnings,
job retention and skills attainment; and improve the quality of the local and regional
labor force. Achievement of these goals will enhance local, regional, state and national
business productivity and international competitiveness. The WIB is responsible for
determining local workforce development policies, providing guidance and oversight for
local WIA services and programs. The day-to-day WIA services are provided by
contractors who manage local Career Centers and the WIA Youth program.
The WIB’s STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
In 2014, the WIB adopted new strategic goals for 2014 through 2017:
Goal 1: Increase effectiveness of the local and regional workforce development
system to better meet job seekers, business and community needs
Goal 2: Align workforce development strategies to support local economic
development
Goal 3: Develop strategic relationships with educators, employers and community
partners to:
 increase the skill levels of youth and adult job seekers and
 create opportunities for employment, career mobility and self-sufficiency
Goal 4: Increase Board (WIB) effectiveness
WIB MEETINGS DATES, TIME AND LOCATION
The full WIB meets on a Wednesday in November, February and June often at the
Simpkins Family Swim Center. Committee meetings are held at the Career Centers,
WIB offices on the Emeline Campus, and at other community meeting spaces. Meeting
notices and agendas are posted for public review at the Workforce Investment Board’s
website (www.santacruzwib.com) and emailed and/or mailed to interested parties in
compliance with the provisions of the Brown Act. The meeting schedules for program
years 2014 - 2015 and 2015 - 2016 are included as Attachments 1 and 2.
BOARD STRUCTURE AND ANNUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Board Structure
The WIB is structured to meet state and federal regulations and contains local defined
seats in accordance with the County ordinance. The 2008 state requirement for a 10%
labor organization minimum representation on the WIB has been met with five (5) labor
representatives. The commensurate number of business seats added to maintain the
majority of 51% WIA required private business sector representatives has been a
challenge to keep filled.
Workforce Investment Board of Santa Cruz County: 2014 and 2015
Page 1 of 6 2
C.1 Attachment A
Through 2015, the required composition was as follows:
• 20 seats (15 filled): Private sector business seats
• 19 seats (13 filled):
o Community based organizations (2);
o Educational agencies (3);
o Economic development agencies (2);

Americans Act (1-currently vacant), and Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers
Programs (1) Center for Employment Training.
The WIB has standing committees and time-limited work groups to respond to WIA and
state policy changes and local implementation, as well as to address on-going business
and operational needs. There are currently four committees: Executive, Business
Services Committee, Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) and the
Youth Council (WIA required). As workforce service needs change, a work group may
be established and committees’ oversight roles adjusted. The following contains brief
highlights of the WIB and its Subcommittees’ 2014 and 2015 accomplishments.

CHALLENGES AND FUTURE GOALS
Challenges
Public Policy Issues for Workforce Systems and Partners
Page 5 of 6 6
C.1 Attachment A
•
•
With diminishing federal workforce allocations, the WIB continues to be
challenged to find strategies to continue services for unemployed people and
new job seekers.
The passage of the Workforce Investment and Opportunity Act has necessitated
to reorganization and reestablishment of the Workforce Investment Board.
WIB Governance Issues
• Recruiting and retaining business members remains an on-going challenge and
an issue with state monitoring of WIB administration.
• WIB meetings consistently have a quorum of members present. Some members
do not attend regularly.
Significant Events
• In July 2015, Goodwill Central Coast began providing direct services to WIA
Adult and Dislocated Worker customers.
Opportunities
• Improve the WIBs delivery business services by coordinating its efforts with
EBSD employer outreach efforts.
• Continuing to implement and refine the Early Alert System for information on
businesses to help retain employees and prevent closures. And if there is a
closure, to provide Rapid Response layoff information services to the employees.
Future Goals
• Continue to implement WIB Strategic Goals for 2014-17 and measure progress.
• Assess current workforce service systems in order to reduce operating costs and
streamline service delivery in response to the increased demand from job
seekers and decreased funding to all partner agencies.
• Increase local businesses’ access to workforce services by increasing the WIB’s
program offerings.
• Refine the WIB’s assessment system to better track client’s progress towards
defined goals.
Recommendations

C.2 ITA Scholarship Project
COMMITTEE:
MEETING DATE:
02/24/16
STAFF NAME: Andy Stone, WIB Director; Sara Paz-Nethercutt, Sr. Analyst
SUMMARY:
As you may recall, the current Individual Training Account (ITA) policy is in effect and limited/capped at $3,500 for the
duration of the WIOA participant enrollment. The standard length of training time is one-year with an exception memo to
be two-years.
The ITA Scholarship Project serves to augment and expand that policy by allowing an ITA scholarship for a two (2) year
Community College Associate Degree program leading to a career or job upon completion. ITA scholarships under this
project will be staff approved based on a scholarship list derived from a local in-demand occupation analysis. The
scholarship list is attached as part of the ITA Project write-up (Attachment A). Furthermore, under this project the $3,500
ITA cap is augmented to $5,000 per year depending on the documented cost of the training program, not to exceed
$10,000 for two (2) year WIOA program participation. Lastly, there are a targeted number of 10 participants per funding
source (Adult & Dislocated Worker) for this project for a total of 20 participants.
This ITA scholarship program will be in effect until the goals and targets are met or until the WIB rescinds the project,
whichever comes first. The overall success of participants in this project will be measured after their completion of their
two year training program.
Attachment(s)
I move to approve the ITA Scholarship Project Policy as drafted by WIB staff.

A.
General WIOA Training Provisions
There is no sequence of service requirement for career and training services. After an
interview, evaluation or assessment and career planning, if an individual is found to meet
certain criteria, training services may be provided.1 Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) are
the primary method to be used for training services under WIOA, similar to under
Workforce Investment Act (WIA). 2
B.
Policy
In accordance with WIOA, if available, other funding sources (non-WIOA) will be utilized
as the first source of payment for training services. This includes but is not limited to Pell
grants, BOG grants, and other scholarships. The Workforce Investment Board approved
Individual Training Account (ITA) Policy is currently in effect and is limited/capped at
$3,500 for the duration of the WIOA enrollment. The standard length of training time is
considered to be one-year with the maximum training time with an exception memo to be
two (2) years. Refer to the ITA policy effective July 1, 2013 for complete policy details.
(Attachment A)
This scholarship project only serves to augment and expand that policy by allowing ITA
scholarships for a two (2) year Associate Degree program leading to a career or job upon
completion.
C.

(ITA Project Attachment A)
Santa Cruz County Workforce Investment Board
Individual Training Account (ITA) Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2013
Background:
The Local Workforce Investment Board is required under the Workforce Investment Act to set
policies for Adults and Dislocated Workers using training services that define time limits and
dollar limits (caps).
Policy: In accordance with WIA regulation, if available, other funding sources (non-WIA) will
be utilized as the first source of payment for training programs. This includes but is not limited
to Pell grants, BOG grants, scholarships, other.
ITAs will be capped/limited to $3,500 for the duration of WIA enrollment. This amount is
meant to be an average. The $3,500 does not include the cost of Supportive services for adult
and dislocated workers which are available to a maximum total of $200 for the duration of
enrollment. On a case-by-case basis and with proper justification, a counselor could request a
waiver to exceed the $3,500 from the Program Manager and with approval from the Workforce
Investment Board Director.
If similar training (curricula and timeframes) is available at both public and private training
institutions, the local WIB will only pay up to the cost of training at the public training
institution. The WIA participant could opt for the private school but would only receive an ITA
for an amount equal to the Public Schools cost.
The standard training is considered to be one year. Maximum training time will be 2 years. In
instances where training extends over a two-year period (Cabrillo), the ETS will prepare one
voucher to reflect the total cost of the training that is to be committed. Vouchers should be
submitted for the training and supply costs outlined by the institution such as Cabrillo.
ITAs and OJTs can be combined as long as total funding stays below a $3,500 cap. Under
special circumstance, on a case-by-case basis and with proper justification, a counselor could
request a waiver to exceed the $3,500 from the Program Manager with approval by the
Workforce Investment Board Director.
The maximum amount for an ITA will be paid for sector occupations including health care
careers, construction, and the retail sub sector of trade transportation and utilities sectors for
occupations on the priority occupations list. Annually, 5% of all ITAs can be written for nonpriority occupations that will be paid at $3,000 maximum.
Eligibility for Training:
WIA funds for the provision of occupational classroom training will be provided in accordance
with Section 134 (d) (4) (A) of the Act. Eligible populations include adults, dislocated workers,
and incumbent workers who:

WIA Supportive Services Policy for the
Santa Cruz Workforce Investment Area
Revision
A.
General Provisions
The Santa Cruz County Workforce Investment Board will make available supportive services
to appropriate Workforce Investment Act participants. All requests for participant
supportive services and all collaborating information detailing the need will be documented
in the participants' plan. The Workforce Investment Board ensures that:
Services provided under this policy are necessary to enable participants to

participate in activities under Title 1 of WIA

Services provided do not duplicate services available from other sources and are
coordinated with the services of partners and community service providers

Supportive services are based on the attendance and performance by the
participants receiving them

To the extent possible, similarly situated participants receive similar services

Provision of supportive services under this policy is contingent upon the
availability of WIA funds. Additionally, at the discretion of the local Workforce
Investment Board this Supportive Service Policy is subject to change.
Supportive services for adult and dislocated workers are available to a maximum total of $200
for the duration of enrollment. Supportive services will only be provided to an individual
after they are enrolled into WIA and during their WIA participation.
B.
Procedure
V. Federal Regulation
As per 20CRF 663.800, Supportive Services are to be made available to participants during
their enrollment in the WIA program. Supportive Services are based on the needs of the
individual and may include the following:
(a) assistance with transportation;
(b) assistance with child care;
(c) assistance with dependent care;
(d) assistance with housing; and
(e) Needs-related payments.
(f) As per Section 663.105(b) of the WIA regulations, supportive services are not
allowable during nonregistered core services. In order for the participant to
receive services, the participant must be enrolled in WIA.
VI. Identifying & Assessing/Establishing Need
Service provider staff, within the scope of responsibility for case management, will
identify the need for supportive services. Staff will assess the need by determining
whether or not the customer needs the support to enable him/her to fully participate in
WIA Adult/Dislocated Worker Services activities, leading to goal achievement(s). Staff
19
C.2 Attachment A
will identify the need for supportive services to enable the customer to participate in the
activities that correspond to the support and attainment of the WIA performance goals.
Documented Need: Staff will document the assessed need in the Virtual Career Center
(VCC) case note system entry for each WIA participant who has been approved for
supportive services.
Consideration of Community Resources: Before providing supportive services to
any customer, the staff person must consider what other community resources are
available to provide these same services. At a minimum, the Employment and Training
Specialist must be aware of all supportive services offered by the center partners.
Pell Grants: Participants enrolled or accepted for enrollment at an accredited college,
in a course of study eligible for Federal or State financial aid and, leading to a
certificate or degree must apply for a Federal Pell Grant. No Supportive Services will
be provided until this action is accomplished, as verified by a copy of the Pell Grant
Application or award letter. Copies of the verification documents will be maintained in
the participant's file.
Upon award of a Pell Grant, full or partial, the participant's supportive services may be
reduced or terminated. The participant's needs will be reassessed and documented to
determine appropriate level of assistance from WIA funding.
VII. Services Available in Supportive Services are:
A. Assistance with transportation:
Bus passes or


Gas reimbursement rates are $5.00 per day for in-county and $10.00 per day
for out-of-county travel, up to $200 for the duration of enrollment.
However, the sum of all Supportive Services (transportation, child care,
other services) cannot exceed $200.

Transportation will be provided at two payment points as follows:

Mid-semester and end of semester for public education institutions

Mid-point and end point for private for profit and private not for
profit institutions.
B.
Assistance with childcare:

Participants with children 12 years or younger are eligible for childcare who
do not have another source of funds to pay for child care.

Participants qualifying for childcare will be reimbursed at the amount of
$20.00 per day per child up to $200 for the duration of enrollment.
However, the sum of all Supportive Services (transportation, child care, and
other services) cannot exceed $200.
20
C.2 Attachment A
C.
Additional services, if needed and justified:
1.
Clothing: $200.00 maximum allowance.
2.
Eye care: Maximum allowance of $160.00 at one of the HSD contracted
eye care professionals
3.
Tools/Software/Internet Connections: Maximum allowance of $200.00
4.
Counseling:
o
On a referral basis, counseling sessions include an assessment visit
and up to 5 subsequent counseling sessions as needed at one of the
contracted professionals.
Other Supportive services required helping the individual stay in training
5.
or being able to successfully complete program participation; and which the
WIA participant cannot afford, will be provided on an individual case-by
case basis. Each situation will be evaluated on a case by case basis as the
need arises. The determination will be made on whether support is needed
and will be approved/denied by the Senior Employment Training Specialist.
WIA staff will submit a completed Exception Memo for approval justifying
the additional supportive service need.
VIII. Exceptions to the supportive service allowances
There may be emergency or extenuating circumstances which would warrant a higher
than average expenditure in any of the service categories. Any authorizations
exceeding the average expenditure as listed above will be justified in case notes.
Amounts exceeding $200 must be approved by the WIA Program Manager. The WIB
Director and/or designee will be informed of the approvals. There will be a fiscal
monitoring mechanism in place so as not exceed the annual budgeted amount.
IX.
Distribution of Supportive Services Funds
Service providers will take necessary steps to disburse the supportive services in a
manner so as to provide services throughout the program year to customers who are in
need. It is expected that the availability of funds will fluctuate during the program year
as participant
need varies.
Supportive Services funds distribution is ultimately contingent upon the availability of
funds. In response to changing needs and the resulting variations in usage, the
supportive service average amounts is subject to change.
X.
Budgetary changes
In the event of any budgetary changes from the previous annual amount, the
expenditure amount may be re-evaluated. Proposed revisions to rates should be
submitted to the WIB Director for review and approval.

C.3 Performance Update: PY 2015-16
COMMITTEE:
MEETING DATE:
February 24, 2016
STAFF NAME: Andy Stone, WIB Director; Teresa Carrillo, Sr. Employment Training Specialist
SUMMARY:
The attached Performance Update for 1st Quarter PY 2015-16 gives an indication of local
performance as of September 30, 2015 for Adult, Dislocated Worker, and Youth program services.
The state only considers annual performance and requires local areas meet 80% of the assigned
goal. Although the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was enacted effective July 1,
2015, the performance measures used under WIA will remain in effect until June 30, 2016. The
LWIA has met or exceeded all the goals.
A couple of Performance Measures to note are the Average Earnings for Adult at $22,681.20 and
Dislocated Workers at $18,710.66.
As a reminder, this is preliminary data through 1st quarter and includes data on up to 58 Adults,
46 Dislocated Workers, and 66 Youth depending on the specific measure. The
State will review the data for validation of WIA numbers and provide FINAL actual program year
performance results after the program year ends.
* The State of California requires local areas meet 80% of the assigned goal.

C.4 WIOA Youth Work Experience Policy
COMMITTEE:
MEETING DATE:
February 24, 2016
STAFF NAME: Andy Stone, WIB Director; Teresita Hinojosa, Sr. Analyst
SUMMARY:
Background:
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) Youth Work Experience policy has previously been part of the COE contractor
agreement and has required paid and unpaid work experience (WEX) including internships and job shadowing in high
demand occupations. The WEX was linked to the youth's Individual Service Strategy (ISS) and was provided as part of
the summer/after school employment program also known as the Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP).
Throughout the years the WIB has adopted various directives for staff/contractors that include portions of WEX to
implement, however no single policy for this function exists.
Related to the WEX component of services are two previous policies that were adopted; the Incentive Policy (Attachment
A) approved by the WIB Board on June 4, 2014, and the Supportive Services Policy (Attachment B) that was approved on
October 30, 2013, for WIA Youth Services.
WIOA Legislative Requirements:
The new legislation requires the expansion of WEX activities to include pre-apprenticeship programs and on-the-job
training opportunities, in addition to required academic and occupational education (previously provided under WIA) with
additional time constraints, training in specific occupations, occupational clusters, or career pathways. Additionally, 20%
of Youth Formula funds must be used to pay wages and related benefits for work experience in the public, private,
for-profit, or non-profit sectors relating to the youth's ISS plan. New WIOA WEX policy (Attachment C) must reflect
duration of the work experience assignment, limitations on the number of hours, and appropriate incentives and stipends,
including limitation on the type and dollar amount (Attachments A & B).
Contractor Action Steps:
The WIOA Youth Services contractor, Santa Cruz County Office of Education Sueños Program, has established policies
for the WEX program that meets WIA requirements. The contractor will revise its current Sueños Policies and Procedures
manual of 2014-15 to reflect the new recommended changes effective January 1, 2016.
Therefore, it is recommended that the current policies/directives be amended to include WIOA Work Experience
requirements in order to meet new program requirements, and to forward the recommended policy to the WIB Board for
review and approval.
Attachment(s)
I move to approve the Work Experience policy in order to meet new WIOA program requirements.
