In response to Request for Proposal No. 040-22, for Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE) services, Redwood Community Services, Inc. (RCS) submitted a proposal, and was awarded the contract with Mendocino County for ESE services. The proposed Agreement with RCS in the amount of $179,369, provides for a comprehensive and cohesive training program to develop or enhance employment skills of California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants during the 23-24 fiscal year. Services will include subsidized employment for participants while they develop the skills and work history needed to obtain self-sufficiency. In addition to offering training with basic soft skills, RCS will also teach participants the specifics of the position they are hired for, and help them establish the references needed to move forward. Services under this Agreement will be available at any identified RCS site, opening greater opportunity for CalWORKs participants to be placed in positions consistent with their career goals.
