Discussion: Workforce Accelerator Fund

Workforce Accelerator Fund Projects funded through the Workforce Accelerator test innovative solutions to specific challenges that inhibit career opportunity an employment success for target populations and improve access to the workforce development pipeline – education, training, support services, placement, retention, etc. These efforts do not create or reinforce service delivery or funding silos, but rather aim to result in strategies that take a new or unique approach to addressing workforce pipeline gaps specific to these populations, which can be applied, replicated or scaled to create broader impact and system improvement. Target populations include: Long term unemployed, returning veterans, individuals with disabilities, low income workers, CalWORKS participants, disconnected youth, ex-offenders, and immigrant job seekers.

Item 4e

2017 Signed Workforce Bills

AB 398 added Section 38591.3 to the Health and Safety Code and requires the California Workforce Development Board (State Workforce Board), in consultation with CARB, to submit a report to the Legislature, no later than January 1, 2019, on the need for increased education, career technical education, job training, and workforce development resources or capacity to help industry, workers, and communities transition to economic and labor-market changes related to specified statewide greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals.

AB 462. This bill would allow the Mental Health Services Oversight and Accountability Commission to receive quarterly wage data collected by the Employment Development Department in order to monitor employment outcomes for individuals with mental health needs.

AB 868. WIOA funded training providers must either be exempt from the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) Act (the Act) or be approved to operate by BPPE in order to appear on the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Eligible Training Provider list (ETPL). AB 868 exempts some training programs operated by Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) from these provisions of the law, if these programs have tax exempt nonprofit status and if they offer training that does not lead to degrees or to professional licensure.

AB 957. Existing law specifies agencies, program types, and individuals to be represented among the California Workforce Development Board's membership. The bill adds that representatives appointed to the Board may include organizations that serve transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. The bill also adds the California State University and University of California systems as education agencies eligible to be included among the State Board's membership. Furthermore, the bill requires the California State University and requests that the University of California participate in regional workforce development conversations currently conducted pursuant to federal law. AB 1111 creates the Breaking Barriers to Employment Initiative, a grant program that would fund education and work readiness programs operated jointly by community-based organizations and local workforce development boards. The California Workforce Development (State Board) would be responsible for the grant's administration, and funding would be subject to appropriation by the Legislature. The bill also identifies target populations to be served and types of programs eligible to receive funds, and outlines a system for monitoring the performance of funded programs. No money was appropriated for this program for the current fiscal year, in effect, making it a program on paper.

23

AB 1149, sponsored by the California Workforce Development Board (State Workforce Board) adds more flexibility to the current law (SB 734, DeSaulnier, Chapter 498, Statutes of 2011) that requires Local Workforce Development Boards to spend 30 percent of their federal workforce formula funds on training services. Specifically, it expands the types of funding sources that count toward meeting the mandated target and allows a portion of the mandated expenditures to be used to provide supportive services to individuals who may need additional assistance to complete a workforce training program. Additionally, it proposes to increase transparency and accountability by requiring that the types of expenditures that count under the mandate be reported in an existing annual legislative report prepared by the Employment Development Department.. AB 1336. Existing law requires the California Workforce Development Board (State Board) to develop an Internet-based workforce metrics dashboard, to be updated annually, that measures the state’s investments in workforce development. AB 1336 amends existing law to designate the State Board as the agency responsible for determining the approach used to measure the labor market impacts of relevant workforce education and training programs, provided that the methodologies used are statistically rigorous. The bill would also authorize the State Board, or its designee—provided that the designee has the technical and operational capability—to receive employment information already being collected by the Employment Development Department for the purpose of conducting program assessments. SB 1 is a comprehensive transportation funding legislation which provides for a variety of new revenues, primarily from motor fuel tax increases, revenue re-allocations and reforms. SB 1 addresses the state’s projected construction labor shortage by providing high-quality training and skills development to individuals entering the workforce through the creation and expansion of preapprenticeship programs funded with new transportation revenues. The legislation provides $25 million over five years for preapprenticeship. SB 85. SB 85 extended the authorizing legislation for the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program (EWDP) through July 1, 2023. SB 106. Existing law requires the California Workforce Development Board (State Workforce Board) to develop and implement the Supervised Population Workforce Training Grant Program (SPWTGP). This state government budget trailer bill included provisions that modified the SPWTGP by expanding it to include the parole population. The legislation also now requires that the State Workforce Board ensure that grants are allocated equitably among the partners based on services and activities funded and establishes that nonprofit community-based organizations (CBOs) are competitive in applying for funds as the lead applicant. The 2017 budget contained a $2 million appropriation to carry out the objectives of the SPWTGP.

SB 396 makes two amendments to the California Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). First, it amends Unemployment Insurance (UI) code section 14005 to add transgender and gender non-conforming individuals to the list of populations with barriers to employment under the California WIOA. Second, it amends section 14012 to indicate that California Workforce Development Board (State Workforce Board) membership may include representatives from community-based organizations (CBOs) that serve transgender and gender non-conforming individuals.
