SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
Redwood Community Services (RCS) will provide expanded subsidized employment for CalWORKs Job Services participants through a comprehensive, cohesive, on-the-job training program. This program will allow participants to obtain self-sufficiency by helping them develop or enhance job skills and by giving them the opportunity to create a work history. In addition to offering training with basic soft skills, the program allows participants to learn the specifics of the position they are hired for. And, because RCS offers services at any of their identified sites, participants have a greater opportunity to be placed in positions consistent with their career goals.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
