2 UPDATE ON IMPROVEMENT PLAN FOR HALLMARKS OF EXCELLENCE UNDER THE WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT Michael Saltz explained that to assist in the Hallmarks of Excellence improvement plan, ETR has created matrices to track improvements to increase rankings for each category in the Hallmarks of Excellence for the comprehensive, affiliate and specialized AJCC One-Stop Centers. Michael explained that ETR staff would report to this Committee on a quarterly basis providing updates on the progress of the improvement plans for the Hallmarks of Excellence. SUPPORT TO COMMUNITIES – FOSTERING OPIOID RECOVERY THROUGH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT NATIONAL DISLOCATED WORKER GRANT Michael Saltz explained that on January 19, 2020, ETR, in partnership with Kings County Job Training Office, Tulare Workforce Investment Board and Stanislaus County Workforce Investment Board, applied to the California Employment Development Department for the Support to Communities - Fostering Opioid Recovery through Workforce Development: Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Worker Grant (Support NDWG). He stated that ETR would be the administrator of the grant. Michael reviewed the specifics of the grant and stated that ETR expected to hear whether it has been awarded the grant in early March and, if awarded, the expected start date is the beginning of April 2020. UPDATE ON WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD’S STRATEGIC PLAN Elaine Basham explained that as a result of the Strategic Planning session held last year, ETR staff have reported to the WDB on individual elements of the Plan steps being completed using a table showing the progress of each Action Step. She explained that staff, as appropriate, would update the table. Elaine also stated that as recommended by this committee in November 2019, a task was added to develop marketing to attract members. That includes recruiting those with the skills and experience to contribute to Board activities as well as marketing the personal and community benefits members achieve. An Internet link to that material will be added to the Kern County Board of Supervisors (BOS) Boards, Commissions and Committee webpage along with the one-page Board Membership Requirements you approve STANDING COMMITTEE COMPOSITION Elaine reviewed the requirements of WIOA of the standing committees. She stated that this committee is out of compliance because it has no non-WDB members. She explained the requirements for this position for members to use if seeing members for these vacant positions. Nominees should be directed to Marsha Charles, Board Liaison.

3 REVIEW OF BOARD AND COMMITTEE ATTENDANCE Elaine Basham asked Alissa Reed if she had reached out to Anita Martin, Traco Matthews, and Greg Gutierrez to see if they still have an interest in being on the WDB. Anita Martin and Greg Gutierrez do still want to remain active. Traco Matthews has resigned and Trista Carter is no longer at her employer. Alissa stated that she would reach out to Trista’s employers and see if there are any other potential staff that would qualify and would be interested in being on the WDB. Todd Yepez suggested combining the Youth Committee and the Program and Business Services Committee into a single Committee. This would help in the composition of non-Board members and would help our WDB be in compliance with current regulations. The members discussed this at length and decided this could be something to bring up for discussion at the next WDB meeting. Todd Yepez made a motion to amend the WDB agenda to discuss combining the Youth Committee and Program and Business Services Committee into a single Committee. Brenda Mendivel seconded the motion. All ayes. The motion carried. DIRECTOR’S REPORT Teresa Hitchcock gave an overview of the impact of the Governor’s suggestion on the gas and oil industry, Members suggested a template letter be sent to WDB and Standing Committee members talking about the effects of his suggestions to our local economy. This template could be used on the member’s letterhead. This template letter could be sent to members along with recommendations on who to send the letter. Teresa also stated that a manufacturing housing company wants to move from Los Angeles to our area bringing 578 jobs to our local area. COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS Norma Rojas-Mora spoke of events going on at Bakersfield College (BC). BC is working with Wasco High School and some seniors will have credentials for becoming a mental health worker upon graduation from Wasco High School. There are at least three homeless projects going on at BC. One of them involves housing for homeless students. ETR will have an office at BC beginning at the end of February 2020. City Serve is working with major hospitals to serve the homeless community. After 6 weeks of training, homeless workers could be job-ready for jobs such as office workers, landscaping and light construction. Bitwise is still coming to Bakersfield and has a site already in place. They will be speaking at the Economic Summit.

A proud partner of America’s Job Center of California

May 28, 2020 Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 FUNDING RECOMMENDATION FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE AJCC ONE-STOP OPERATOR UNDER THE WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT FOR PROGRAM YEAR 2020-2021 Dear Committee Member: The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and its implementing regulations require Local Workforce Development Boards (LWDBs) to select a One-Stop Operator for the system, to support continuous improvements through the evaluation of the One-Stop Operator performance, and to competitively procure the operator every four years. On June 23, 2017, the Kern, Inyo and Mono (KIM) Workforce Development Board (WDB) approved ProPath, Inc. (ProPath) to be the One-Stop Operator for comprehensive America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) One-Stop Centers. The original Personal/Professional Services Agreement (“Agreement”) provided that ProPath would perform certain services as the One-Stop Operator from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018, at the hourly rate of $100, not to exceed the sum of $75,000, including travel expenses, for the three (3) comprehensive AJCC One-Stop Centers located in the KIM Workforce Development Area (WDA), including Southeast - AJCC located at 1600 E. Belle Terrace in Bakersfield, Delano – AJCC located at 1816 Cecil Avenue in Delano, California; and Ridgecrest – AJCC located at 540 Perdew Avenue, Suite B2 in Ridgecrest, California. On June 6, 2018 and June 5, 2019, the KIM WDB approved renewing the Agreements with ProPath for additional twelve-month periods at a reduced contract rate not to exceed $30,000 and at an hourly rate of $100. The current contract term expires on June 30, 2020. Due to the limited services ProPath has provided during the current program year, Employers’ Training Resource (ETR) and ProPath have agreed not to change the current hourly rate or contract price for the upcoming program year.

ProPath’s services will include: (1) In conjunction with the oversight and designated administrative staff of ETR, the

One-Stop Operator will coordinate the implementation of negotiated Memorandum of Understanding, and Infrastructure Funding Agreements with all mandated partners;

(2) The convening and facilitation of quarterly WIOA partner meetings that focus on systems alignment, process improvement and building value-added collaboration amongst system partners;

(3) The One-Stop Operator will act as a liaison between the KIM WDB and the WIOA partners and as such shall be required to submit a written report to the Director of ETR identifying the services being provided by the Consultant and any progress thereof a minimum of ten (10) business days prior your quarterly Executive Committee meetings and quarterly KIM WDB meetings, and to attend said meetings in order to orally present the content contained in each written report;

(4) Perform customer satisfaction surveys for all colocated WIOA Partners on a quarterly basis at each of the comprehensive AJCC one-stop centers, and submit a written report detailing the results of said survey to the Director of ETR a minimum of ten (10) days prior to your Executive Committee meetings and KIM WDB’s meetings, and attend the KIM WDB meetings in order to orally present the content contained in said written report; and

(5) Any other assigned duties consistent with the WIOA and related regulations, directives, policies procedures and amendments issued pursuant thereto.

By renewing the Agreement with ProPath for PY 2020 - 2021, KIM WDB will be in compliance with the WIOA and its implementing regulations. Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your Committee recommend that the Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board approve and authorize ETR to enter into an agreement with ProPath to be the One-Stop Operator for the comprehensive AJCC One-Stop Centers located in the KIM WDA during the period from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, not to exceed the sum of $30,000. Sincerely, Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer TH:ms

FUNDING RECOMMENDATION TO UTILIZE THE WEB-BASED SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION OF CAREERHUBUS.COM

Dear Committee Member: On January 6, 2016, Employers’ Training Resource (ETR) was awarded the Workforce Accelerator 4.0 Fund (WAF) offered by the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) and the Labor and Workforce Development Agency (LWDA) to utilize an online web-based software subscription offered by CareerHubUS.com (“CareerHub”) to assist 1,500 Long-Term Unemployed, Disconnected Youth, Individuals with Disabilities, Low-Income Workers and workers with barriers to employment (collectively, Job Seekers) through the use of their mobile devices, including tablets, mobile phones and/or smartphones. CareerHub’s web-based software subscription has been used by staff to provide a menu of services, including, but not limited to, coaching, virtual training, appointment reminders, referral to on-line and shared community resources, notice of job/resource fairs and other employment opportunities, and matching clients with jobs. By using the CareerHub, ETR increased Job Seekers: (i) attendance at events, workshops, meetings, assessments and intakes by 48%; (ii) employment skills by 66%; and (iii) employment outcomes by 39%. The evaluation was prepared by an independent party and submitted to CWDB as part of the closeout of the WAF. Due to the successful outcomes Job Seekers realized from using CareerHub and with your Board’s approval, on February 1, 2018, ETR entered into a contract with CareerHub whereby it would provide the use of the web-based software subscription (web-based software) for 18 accounts in the monthly sum of $1,200 for 36 months (February 1, 2018 – January 31, 2021). On August 18, 2018, ETR realized that it needed additional CareerHub web-based software accounts to better serve its customers, so with your Board’s approval, it entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the contract with CareerHub for 27 accounts for the period of 29 months (September 1, 2018 through January 31, 2021) at the rate of $1,785.00 per month.

9

2

The benefits of providing virtual services to Job Seekers, particularly at the time, will be invaluable to our customers. As a result, ETR is seeking approval to terminate the existing contract and enter into a new agreement with CareerHub for 62 accounts at the monthly amount of $3,904.14 for 12 months. On May 13, 2020, ETR received approval to use Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act formula funds to pay for CareerHub by our Regional Advisor at the California Employment Development Department. As part of the approval process, ETR has examined and rejected other web-based software subscriptions, namely Protexting.com and EZtexting.com. Neither vendor offers web-based software that provides the same benefits as CareerHub and both are considerably more expensive. Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your Committee recommends that the Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board approve and authorize ETR to terminate the existing contract and enter into a new contract with CareerHub for use of the web-based software subscription for 62 accounts at the yearly amount of $46,849.68. Sincerely, Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer TH:ms

Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 INCUMBENT WORKER TRAINING Dear Committee Member: Under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), local areas are authorized to provide a variety of rapid response and layoff aversion strategies. One such layoff aversion service is Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) which provides both workers and employers with the opportunity to build and maintain a quality workforce and increase both participants’ and companies’ competitiveness. It is a type of work-based training and up-skilling designed to ensure that employees of a company can acquire the skills necessary to retain employment and advance within the company, or to acquire the skills necessary to avert a layoff. Per Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 19-01, generally, IWT should be provided to private sector employers, but there may be instances where non-profit and local government entities may receive IWT funds. The staff has confirmed this provision with our State Regional Advisor. A unique requirement is that employers are required to pay for a significant cost of the training for those individuals in IWT. The minimum amount of the employer share in IWT depends on the size of the employer and ranges from at least 10 percent of the cost for employers with 50 or fewer employees to at least 50 percent of the cost for employers with more than 100 employees. The employer’s share of costs can include cash payments and in-kind contributions, as well as the wages paid to individuals while they are attending the training. Allowable costs paid with WIOA funds include the cost of the training (teacher, books, materials) for the delivery of IWT. WIOA funds may not be used to pay for participant wages under this type of training. Training can be provided in-house by the employer, by a training agency, or by a third party. Training providers should be California-based unless the training is so unique that a training provider cannot be found in California. The choice and method of training are determined by the employer and may include classroom training, laboratory training, computer-based training, video conferencing training and E-Learning instruction which is delivered through a web-based system utilizing web meeting/webinar.

11

2

WIOA requires Local Boards to determine an employer’s eligibility for participating in IWT in order to evaluate whether training would increase the competitiveness of the employees and/or employers. Local Boards can use up to 20 percent of their Adult and Dislocated Worker formula allocations for IWT activities. This 20 percent can only be used for programmatic activities and cannot be used for administrative functions. The Board would need to authorize funding as it does with the procurement process. Since eligibility for IWT is determined at the employer level (not the individual level), the Department of Labor (DOL) does not consider individuals in IWT to be a participant in the Adult and/or Dislocated Worker program. However, DOL requires Local Boards and the State to report certain participant and performance data on all individuals participating in IWT. Employers’ Training Resource developed the attached IWT Policy Bulletin to comply with the guidelines WSD 19-01 “Incumbent Worker Training.” Our local plan allows for this type of training, and we will be informing you of IWT opportunities as they arise. Choosing to provide IWT services requires a 30-day public comment period, however, that criteria is considered met during the Local Plan comments. Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your committee: review the IWT Policy, recommend changes if any, and authorize staff to forward to the Board for their approval. Sincerely,

Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer Attachment TH:eb

POLICY BULLETIN: #ETR 29-20

TO: All ETR and ETR Providers of Service FROM: Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer DATE: March 3, 2020 SUBJECT: Incumbent Worker Training Policy* *Employed Worker see Policy Bulletin 16b-19

This Policy Bulletin Supersedes Any Previously Issued Policy Statements Concerning

Incumbent Worker Training Services

_____________________________________________________________________________

References:

Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 19-01

Employer Eligibility Checklist – see Attachment 1

Incumbent Worker Versus Employed Worker

While Incumbent Worker Training (IWT) is for “employed” workers, the criteria and eligibility are different. Unless an IWT worker is co-enrolled into Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Adult or Dislocated Worker services (i.e., a registered participant), the IWT candidate does not have to meet the eligibility criteria to receive Career Services and/or the wage requirements to receive Training Services. In addition, the locally defined "priority for service" will not apply to IWT candidates. IWT is part of a strategy designed to meet the special requirements of an employer to train its current employees.

Per Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 19-01, generally, IWT should be provided to private sector employers, but there may be instances where non-profit and local government entities may receive IWT funds. All individuals receiving IWT must be entered into the State’s reporting system, CalJOBS. Local Area staff must also ensure that the employer participating in IWT is registered as a preferred employer (recruiting

13

employer) in CalJOBS. Both are required for reporting at the federal and state level.

The WIOA defines IWT as a business service, therefore, the delivery of IWT does not require the use of an Individual Training Account or that the training program be listed on the Eligible Training Provider List (WSD 19-01). The choice and method of training are determined by the employer.

Employer Qualifications

California State guidance establishes that local Workforce Development Boards (WDB) shall institute a policy framework that describes the criteria to be used in determining whether an employer is eligible for an IWT contract. WIOA requires employers participating in the IWT program to pay for the non-Federal share of the cost of training and requires local boards to establish the criteria for the non-Federal share.

IWT is part of a comprehensive business engagement strategy designed to meet the special requirements of an employer (including a group of employers) to upskill current employees. IWT is designed to help businesses:

(1) Retain a skilled workforce or avert the need to lay off employees by assisting the workers in obtaining the skills necessary to retain employment; and/or

(2) Provide training that will result in progression on a career pathway and income mobility.

IWT must increase the competitiveness of the employee or the employer. IWT commits the employer to:

(1) Retain the trained incumbent worker(s) for at least six (6) months following training completion; and/or

(2) Promote the incumbent worker(s) to higher paying positions; and/or

(3) Otherwise provide a tangible benefit to the employees who receive IWT; and/or

(4) Gives employees the opportunity to progress on their career pathway by providing opportunities to obtain certificates or credentials based on the employers need. (Reference 20 CFR 680.790)

In order for an employer to be eligible to receive WDB incumbent worker training funds, it must:

Have and provide a valid California Employer Account Number,

Be an equal opportunity employer compliant with all state and federal laws pertaining to fair labor and employment practices,

Incumbent Worker Qualifications

14

Per WIOA, states and local areas must establish policies and definitions to determine which workers, or groups of workers, are eligible for incumbent worker services (per 20 CFR Section 680.780).

To qualify for IWT in the Kern, Inyo and Mono (KIM) Workforce Development Area (WDA) programs, the participant needs to be employed and meet the Fair Labor Standards Act requirements for an employer-employee relationship. Meet the Selective Service requirements.

In addition, the majority of employees in a given cohort of employees being trained must have an established employment history with the employer for six (6) months or more. If only one incumbent worker is being trained, that employee must have been employed for at least six (6) months with the employer.

KIM WDB locally requires that the IWT funds be spent to train a cohort of incumbent workers versus a single employee.

Other IWT Criteria

Other factors Local Boards determine are appropriate, which may include, but are not limited to, the following:

The characteristics of the individuals in the program (i.e. quality of work, desire to promote, likelihood of success, etc.),

The relationship of the training to the competitiveness of the individual(s) and the employer,

The number of employees that will train,

Wages and benefits, including post training increases,

Existence of other training opportunities provided by the employer,

Utilization as part of a larger sector and/or career pathway strategy

Non-Federal/Employer Share

Employers participating in the incumbent worker training programs are required to contribute to the cost of training through cash or in-kind (known as Non-Federal/Employer Share). The required amount of employer contributions is based on the total number of employees at all locations operated by the employer in California:

10% contribution with 50 employees or less,

25% contribution if between 51 and 100 employees, or

50% contribution if more than 100 employees.

The Non-Federal/Employer Share may include:

Wages paid by the employer to the participating employee while the employee is

15

attending the incumbent training program,

Cost of books, tools, and/or supplies,

Cost of registration, tuition, other school fees,

Cost of the teacher/instructor,

On-the-job portion of the training if required for certification/licensing (i.e. clinical hours, required job-shadow hours, etc.), and

Other costs, fairly evaluated.

WDB Share of Cost

The WDB’s share of the cost of training includes the delivery of IWT (e.g., teacher, books, materials), but excludes the cost of individual wages paid by the employer while the employee is attending/participating in the training. WDB may reserve and use not more than 20% of the funds allocated to the Local Area to pay for the Federal share of the cost of providing training through a training program for incumbent workers.

Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD AND STANDING COMMITTEE COMPOSITION Dear Committee Member: The current composition of the Workforce Development Board (WDB) is one Business member away from being out of compliance with the mandatory Business majority. Currently the WDB Certification with the State includes both Economic Development members as representing Business. Business member Ali Morris has submitted his resignation from the WDB and the Program and Business Services (PBS) Committee. When Mr. Morris was appointed he was the President of the Kern County Black Chamber of Commerce. Staff has reached out to its current President about serving on the WDB. This would restore the Business majority. Pending an application and/or nomination of a Business member or the resignation of a non-Business member on the WDB, per the Bylaws, the opening would be posted by the Clerk of the Board. Prior to this resignation, the WDB size was 33 with 17 Business members (51.5%), with six (6) Labor members (18.2%) and Labor plus other Workforce Representatives totaling eight (8) members (24.2%), WIOA requires a Business majority, a Labor minimum of 15% and total Workforce Representatives at 20%. With Mr. Morris’ resignation WDB size will be 32 with 16 Business members (50%), six (6) Labor members (18.8%) and Labor plus other Workforce Representatives totaling eight (8) members (25%). In addition, Youth Committee (YC) member Trista Carter is no longer employed by the Housing Authority, she has not attended any meetings since her departure and we have no way to contact her therefore we are recommending removal from the committee. Traco Matthews has submitted his resignation from the YC. On May 19 and May 20 respectively the YC and PBS Committees approved the above requests which are being forwarded to your committee.

Standing Committee Composition The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) requires that any standing committee of the local WDB have at least two non-WDB members with experience and expertise relevant to the committee. At your committee meeting on February 20, 2020, during the discussion about how to meet the non-WDB requirement, a committee member suggested that it might be possible to combine the PBS and YC into a single standing committee. This could resolve the non-WDB compliance of the PBS Committee. The WDB approved the recommendation for staff to develop a plan to combine the committees and have that plan brought before the two committees. On May 19, 2020, the YC made a recommendation to proceed with a committee merger. This could resolve the non-WDB member requirement for PBS, would reduce the number of committee meetings, and provide the YC with a more robust agenda. One member expressed a concern with the new larger committee size (i.e. 21) finding a meeting location. Standing committees may be established by the Local Board to provide information and assist the Local Board in carrying out its responsibilities. The key functions of the YC and PBS follow on page four (4) for your review. The non-WDB committee members should have experience and expertise with workforce development and the Committee’s mission. The Program and Planning Committee was changed to the Program and Business Services Committee following direction from the State for the Local Plan, including how the Business Service plan integrates local business and labor involvement. Under the recently submitted High Performing Board application to the State among the deliverables under the Business Services Plan, was the establishment of a subcommittee or workgroup comprised of business representatives. This would still be a State requirement if the two committees are merged. WIOA also requires members with experience and expertise relevant to the committee to be appointed. The two (2) committees could be convened jointly and then ended and convened as either committee in order to act on functions unique to their committee. An important function of each committee is to use their unique experience to: (1) Recommend eligible providers of youth activities to be awarded grants or contracts on a competitive basis to ensure high-quality programs; and (2) recommend non-Youth programs to be funded and plans for accomplishment, including Business Services. Another option, after creating the PYBS might be to set up Youth-only funding and Non-Youth funding ad hoc committees to convene and act on funding recommendations to the WDB. The YC and PBS committees concluded that they could combine the funding decisions while having a calendar year to learn about funding before it is addressed in the spring of 2021. The time of the meeting would be constrained by access after school for students and providers (3:00 p.m.). This did not seem to be an issue for PBS. Per the Bylaws, one-third of the total committee membership shall constitute a quorum for official business for the current YC and PBS Committee meetings.

20

With the above member changes, the YC will be comprised of 15 members, three (3) of which serve on both committees. The change for PBS is nine (9) members, again with three (3) overlapping. Therefore, combining the existing committee’s members would be a PYBS membership of 21 members. This would necessitate the use of a different meeting location. A committee membership of 21 represents 65% of the 32 member WDB size (or 53% of a total 39 WDB plus non-WDB members). The PBS committee made a staff request to come back with information about combining the committees but reducing it to a more manageable size. The member composition of the combined committee would be: Business 7; Labor 1; CBO 2; Education 3; One-Stop Partner Program 3; and 5 others including a student. Due to the small margin for a Business member on the WDB, staff would continue to recommend that any non-WDB applicants meet the regulations for Business members in order to be considered for future WDB membership. Staff also recommends that a Business majority for this newly merged committee would remain in compliance with the Business Services requirement. A table of members for PYBS can be found on page six (6) for your review. This table was amended from that provided to the YC and PBS committees to reflect the PBS staff request to reduce the size from 21 to a more manageable size. Staff’s ranking who to recommend remain on a joint committee included: (a) the Business and Labor requirement for the Business Services Plan; (b) retaining more than the two-member minimum of non-WDB members for Standing Committees; (c) chronic cumulative non-attendance. Regarding number (a), that would include using Economic Development to represent Business. In addition, while non-WDB member Jayme Stuart was added to the YC as a Workforce Representative CBO Youth (foster) expertise, the company is also retail establishment and he qualifies under (a) and (b) above. At the inception of the former Workforce Investment Act (WIA) a Youth Council was required and included mandated members such as students, parents, and other members. When WIOA removed the Youth Council requirement, local WDBs were authorized to grandfather them in as a WDB Standing Committee, which this WDB chose to do. This is a reminder that while the WIA composition does not apply, again members should have experience and expertise relevant to the committee. Therefore the table on page six (6) is an initial attempt to reduce the PYBS committee from 21 to 15 members, retaining four (4) non-WDB. WDB members recommended for retention include: (a) WDB Executive Secretary, Teresa Hitchcock; (b) YC Chair, Norma Rojas-Mora; and (c) Jeremy Tobias, CBO. WBD non-Business members who may be removed include one-stop partner programs: (a) Diane McClanahan, DOR; and (b) Eric Cooper, California Indian Manpower Consortium. These two (2) members would continue to serve by being on the WDB. Regulations require that a Standing Committee Chair be a member of the WDB. With Business Services Plan requiring Business members, perhaps the YC Chair could be removed with the PBS Chair representing Business; reducing the size to 14. The student member is currently on the reduction list.

WDB and YC member Michael Vogenthaler, KCSOS representing Education has not attended YC since his appointment. As there are other Education providers on the YC and he would continue to serve on the WDB, staff included him in the members to reduce committee size. Non-WDB Chief Local Elected Official (CLEO) Leticia Perez has a cumulative attendance rate of 0%. Non-WDB Subrecipient David Villarino has a cumulative attendance rate of 25%. This is contrary to the Bylaws 75% attendance; however, he does not demonstrate Unexcused Absence and therefore has been retained to date. Therefore, these members have been placed on the potential reduction list. Using the criteria listed above on page three (3), the staff’s reduction list would result in a PYBS size of 14. The member composition of the combined committee would be: Business 8; Labor 1; CBO 1; Education 1; One-Stop Partner Program 1; and 2 others which are non-WDB members. Therefore a potential list of members being asked to reduce the PYBS committee size include: Education 2; One-Stop partner programs WDB members 2; student 1; CLEO 1; and sub-recipient 1. Therefore, IT IS RECOMMENDED that your committee: (1) accept Ali Morris’ resignation from the WDB and PBS; (2) accept Traco Matthews’ resignation from the YC; (3) recommend Trista Carter be removed from the YC; and (4) authorize staff to forward those recommendations the WDB. And that furthermore IT IS RECOMMENDED that your committee: (1) that you discuss the plan staff developed at your request as presented to YC and PBS this week; (2) that you discuss the recommendations sent by those committees; and (3) accept or amend their recommendation, authorizing staff to return your recommendations to both committees. Sincerely,

Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer TH:eb

May 28, 2020 Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT FUNDING AWARD FOR WORKFORCE STUDIES Dear Committee Member: At your last meeting on February 20, 2020, we discussed events associated with the oil and gas industry and speculation about the effects on this industry should the State of California slow down or halt oil and gas production. We informed your Committee that the Employment Development Department (EDD) makes available Additional Assistance Project funding for Local Workforce Development Areas that experience sudden and large increases in unemployment due to natural disasters, mass layoffs, or other events that may result in the dislocation of a substantial number of individuals. We also reported that the State urged Kern County to apply for these funds to better understand and plan for probable changes to our local workforce and that Employers’ Training Resource (ETR), working with the Kern Community Foundation and the Better Bakersfield Initiative, requested $700,000 for workforce studies. At its meeting on February 26, 2020, your Workforce Development Board retroactively approved the submission of this request. The State EDD awarded ETR $700,000 to fund two workforce studies: one focusing on the City of Bakersfield and the other on the County of Kern. The Kern Community Foundation will receive $200,000 to conduct and manage the Bakersfield study, and ETR will contract out $450,000 for the Kern County study. The balance of the funds will be used by ETR for managing the grant, working with the consultants, publishing the data, and formulating action plans. The grant term is February 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. We will continue to keep your Committee and Board updated on this project. Sincerely, Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer TH:am

May 28, 2020 Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 KERN COUNTY COVID-19 UPDATE Dear Committee Member: As you know, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be understated. The human cost thus far has been massive. As of May 21, 2020, 93,519 Americans have lost their lives to the coronavirus or complications associated with the disease, and thousands of confirmed cases add to the country’s more than 1.3 million confirmed cases every day. Statewide shelter-in-place orders across the country have, for the moment, changed the way many Americans work, and for millions, taking them out of work. Supply chain disruptions in agriculture, meat, poultry, and dairy are posing new challenges to private industry and government on how to deliver goods and services to a nation in quarantine. The labor market effects also cannot be understated. More than 36 million Americans, including more than four million Californians, have filed for unemployment benefits, and the number of Americans applying for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits in such a short period of time is unprecedented. This has caused a predictable strain on the Employment Development Department which is working to process millions of UI claims and distribute more than $10 billion in payments to Californians out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Locally, more than 61,967 new UI claims were filed in the Kern, Inyo, and Mono Workforce Development Area from March 21 through May 9, 2020. The majority of these are in Kern County, and many residents must work through technical issues and delays in their benefit distributions. The number of layoffs occurring in our area is also of concern. Since mid-March, more than 50 WARN notices have been received by the county, resulting in the loss of about 5,624 jobs. This is more than double the amount of job loss seen as a result of WARN notices for the previous seven month period beginning in August. WARN requirements apply only to California employers that undergo a mass layoff, plant closure, or major

26

relocation, and have employed at least 75 employees in the previous 12 months, and companies must give as much notice as practicable under the executive order signed by Governor Newsom on March 17, 2020. The unemployment numbers from March show the rising trend in unemployment. Kern County’s unemployment rate for the month of March was 12.0%, the highest it has been since March of 2016 (12.2%), and more than double the unemployment rate for the state of California (5.6%).

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are especially harsh on Education. Educational programs across the country face harsh budget realities, leaving many students in limbo. These challenges are not being reflected in the unemployment rate at the moment, but as these students face the choice between entering another program or an extremely unforgiving labor market, we will need to find solutions to assist them. State and local governments will face economic challenges in addition to the public health crisis that requires extraordinary efforts on the part of healthcare workers, public health officials, and a financially strained public out of work. Employers’ Training Resource continues to work with employers during this time as we navigate the economic and public health challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic poses. At today’s meeting, we will have more information to share on the COVID-19 local impact and how we are responding to the situation. Sincerely, Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer TH:is

May 28, 2020

Executive Committee Kern, Inyo and Mono Workforce Development Board 1600 E. Belle Terrace Bakersfield, CA 93307 HIGH PERFORMING BOARD Dear Committee Member: The State issued Workforce Services Directive (WSD) 19-12 on April 29, 2020 which provided guidance and an application form to submit for High Performing Board (HPB) status. The application was due and was submitted to the State on May 15, 2020 (attached). Previously, the assessment of HPB was conducted as a component of the Workforce Investment Act Local Plan approval process. For this round of certifications, the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) has chosen to separate the assessment of HPB from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Local Plan approval process. Accordingly, this Directive outlines the statutory criteria and associated deliverables. In accordance with CUIC Section 14200, Local Boards who submit a completed HPB Application and meet all of the associated deliverables will receive certification as a HPB. According to state law, recertification of HPB must occur midway through the implementation of the local and regional plans. State law also directs the Governor and the Legislature, as part of the annual budget process, and in consultation with the CWDB, to annually reserve a portion of the WIOA 15 percent discretionary funds for the purpose of providing incentive funds to Local Boards who are certified as HPB. For program year (PY) 2019-20, $100,000 was reserved in order to be divided equally amongst all those identified as a HPB. Please note: In future years the annual amount reserved may fluctuate depending on the Governor’s and Legislature’s priorities. Criteria in the application include: (1) Met or exceeded the negotiated Performance levels; (2) Approved Regional and Local Plan; (3) Met minimum of 30 percent of the combined total of their adult and dislocated worker WIOA formula fund allocation on training; (4) Met Youth spending of 75 percent for out of school youth and at least 20 percent on work experience; and (5) Business Services Plan addressing efforts to partner with business, the utilization of an electronic system for businesses and job seekers to

communicate about job opportunities, and the establishment of a subcommittee or workgroup comprised of business representatives. We will continue to update your Committee on the status of this application. Sincerely,

Teresa Hitchcock Assistant County Administrative Officer Attachment TH:eb

5.1 Response: The KIM WDB offers business services to employers, including, but not limited to, Earn and Learn Programs, On-the-Job Training, Paid Work Experience, Incumbent Worker Training, and Customized Training. In addition, KIM WDB anticipates having WDB Sector Champions with large businesses to align our regional and local employment goals to meet employers’ needs.

KIM recently re-opened a Business/Back to Work Center as a specialized AJCC One Stop center. The center will be braiding resources and coordinating services specific to employers and dislocated job seekers. Business Engagement will be the primary focus and Rapid Response and Layoff Aversion will be the secondary focus of this center. The center is located within a commercial district providing convenient access to professional business services such as: business recruitments, forums, and applicant screening. Services for dislocated workers will include: financial literacy, job loss coping skills, computer literacy and resume and job search assistance. While the center is currently staffed with WIOA personnel the plan is to bring in additional partners such as the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) to provide entrepreneurial training and mentoring for dislocated workers that desire to open their own businesses.

Business Services include, but are not limited to: (1) Working with our business clients to develop customized solutions and connect them with our business servicing partners; (2) Forming a business partner collaborative that works together to address businesses’ needs; (3) Standard business services, such as layoff aversion, Rapid Response, etc.; (4) Workforce Development, including job related assessments and employer driven curriculum; (5) Earn and Learn programs; (6) Training solutions; and (7) Customized business solutions.

5.2 Response: KIM WDB uses the State’s CalJOBS system for tracking and communication of employment opportunities. In addition, the Client and Employers Services divisions use Career Hub daily to communicate with their customers. Marketing uses the AJCC and ETR websites as well as GovDelivery, Constant Contact, Facebook, Instagram, and Joomeo to share and post our flyers, our events, and programs.

5.3 Response: The functions of the Program and Business Services Committee include but are not limited to: (1) Review and recommend approval of the local plan and the Business Services Plan to the Local Board; (2) Research/review labor market needs; (3) Provide overall guidance and promote the economic development strategy for the local area; and (4) Review and recommend marketing strategies to promote the LWDA activities and service delivery goals.

5.4 Response: The Kern, Inyo and Mono Counties (KIM) Workforce Development Board (WDB) is part of the eight local WDBs that make up the San Joaquin Valley and Associated Counties (SJVAC) Regional Planning Unit (RPU). The WDB leadership in the region agreed on the following regional priority sectors: Advanced Manufacturing; Healthcare; Construction (including Public Infrastructure); Transportation and Logistics; Energy (including Green Energy); and Value-Added Agriculture. These sectors have continued to show their value in terms of creating jobs, offering good wages and providing career advancement opportunities for those who build experience and attain credentials through school and work-based learning activities. Given the strength of these industries, KIM WDB works with the SJVAC to not only emphasize careers in these sectors to job seekers, but generally restrict WIOA training funds to programs that prepare workforce system customers for employment in a demand industry. In Advanced Manufacturing, KIM WDB has worked closely with the Fresno Regional WDB, other local WDBs and several regional community colleges to design the Maintenance Mechanic programs to allow students to take welding and blueprint reading courses. In Construction, public infrastructure projects are driving the demand for more workers. KIM WDB has working together with SJVAC PRPU and their respective Building Trades Councils (BTCs) to increase the use of MC3 Pre-Apprenticeship Training and to transition those completing MC3 to building trades apprenticeships. In Energy, a subset of this sector that which has shown regional growth and collaboration is solar installation, including large scale projects. By working with the BTCs, KIM WDB has provided career opportunities via the building trades apprenticeships. In Healthcare, KIM WDB has worked with other local WDBs in applying for a grant to provide Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor training opportunities through an online program at the University of Pacific, Bernard College. In addition, the KIM WDB in collaboration with the RPU continues to work with businesses, industry

32

associations and organized labor to develop and strengthen sector pathway programs and to guide job seekers to training, preparing them for opportunities in growth industries. The SlingShot grant was focused, in part, on developing industry responsive programs for the manufacturing and construction industries that result in the award of industry-valued credentials.

KIM WDB and the RPU has been involved in the California Central Valley Economic Development Corporation (CCVEDC), which is implementing regional strategies to assist the workforce system in expanding partnerships, enhancing industry engagement, and creating a structure for sharing information with business stakeholders. This exemplifies the RPU’s commitment to maintaining strong partnerships with economic development and to utilizing economic and labor market data as a tool for both outreach to businesses and for providing services that meet the workforce needs of the Central Valley’s leading industries.

As part of the Workforce Accelerator Fund 6.0 (Accelerator 6.0 Grant), ETR in collaboration with the lead agency, the Fresno Regional Workforce Development Board (FRWDB) and other agencies, including, Madera County Workforce Development Board, Merced County Workforce Development Board, California Workforce Association, Fresno County Workforce Connection, Madera County Workforce Assistance Center, Merced County Worknet, WestCare Foundation, Garden Pathways, Fresno County Department of Social Services, Fresno County Probation Department, Madera County Department of Social Services, Madera County Probation Department, Merced County Human Services Agency, Kern County Department of Human Services and Kern County Probation Department (collectively, Virtual Internet Placement and Employment Retention or VIPER) competitively applied for the Accelerator 6.0 Grant offered by the CWDB and the LWDA and was awarded the sum of $250,000. The purpose of the grant was to support the design, development, and implementation of projects that accelerate employment and reemployment strategies for California job seekers. In particular, FRWDB submitted its grant application seeking the sum of $250,000 under Accelerator 6.0 Grant for the Innovation Impact Project which is intended to build on: (i) drawing the expertise of experienced job coaches, especially from the local region, (ii) expanding contact from the internet platform to smartphones, tablets and other mobile platforms, (iii) pushing out jobs on a 24/7 basis. This project further developed these processes. It also tested a new workforce partnership in the provision of follow-up and job retention services. The Accelerator 6.0 Grant replicated and scaled the Accelerator 4.0 grant project model with new partners. The Accelerator 6.0 Grant period start date was February 1, 2018, with a grant period end date of July 31, 2019.

RE: Local Plan Modification Dear Teresa Hitchcock: The Local Plan Modifications submitted on behalf of the Kern-Inyo-Mono Local Workforce Development Board (Local Board) have been reviewed and evaluated for compliance with the Regional and Local Plan Two-Year Modification requirements outlined in Workforce Services Directive WSD18-01. While the Local Plans overall demonstrated greater coordination and collaboration with strategic partners, reviewers felt that your plan needed additional revisions in order to meet the minimum requirements. In this letter, you will find a list of the criteria in which reviewers felt your Local Plan exceeded minimum requirements as well as the revisions that are required before it can be approved. Below are the areas in which reviewers noted that your plan exceeded the minimum requirements: CalFresh Employment and Training (E&T) Partnership:

• Providing an overview of the size and characteristics of both the total CalFresh recipient populations in the local area/region and the CalFresh E&T participant populations.

• Describing the employment barriers experienced by people receiving CalFresh in your local area/region, including potential barriers faced by people with disabilities and resources that can be utilized to assist overcoming these barriers, including those resources eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T.

Competitive Integrated Employment Partnership:

• The local plan describes the level of participation in CIE LPA. While the majority of your Local Plan requirements have been met, reviewers noted that some criteria in the following partnership areas did not meet the minimum required:

34

mailto:[email protected]



800 Capitol Mall, Suite 1022, Sacramento, CA 95814 Phone: (916) 657-1440 www.cwdb.ca.gov

CalFresh E&T

• The local plan explains current and prospective local partnerships, including partnerships with local workforce development boards, local Human Service Agencies, and other CalFresh E&T providers, including those that are eligible for 50% federal reimbursement from CalFresh E&T and describes the quality and level of intensity of services provided by these partners.

• The local plan describes the way in which local/regional partners will work together to provide supportive services to this population and facilitate program completion.

Competitive Integrated Employment

• The local plan explains how the area had or will connect with the DOR point of contact who can provide linkages to serve providers and/or supportive services to individuals with ID/DD who are VR consumers.

• The local plan describes how the DOR district partner is connecting with the area in their work to outreach to employers and partners to support opportunities for individuals with ID/DD to achieve CIE.

Therefore, we are requesting that above criteria be revised to adequately address how your Local Board and strategic partners will ensure coordination. Your plan is conditionally approved and will only receive full approval upon the receipt, review, and approval of the section(s) identified above. Revisions must be submitted to [email protected] at the California Workforce Development Board by August 1st. You will be notified shortly thereafter of the status of your approval. If you have any questions, please contact Kiana Martinez at [email protected]. Sincerely,

Tim Rainey, Executive Director
