HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY - J. RYDINGSWORD

Approval and adoption of the Community Services & Workforce Development (CSWD) Work Experience Program Non-Financial Worksite Agreement for San Benito County.

SBC FILE NUMBER: 939

CSWD, a division of Health & Human Services receives various funding from the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Workforce Innovation & Opportunity (WIOA), CalWORKS to provide workforce services such as the Work Experience Program. This Board has adopted standard work experience agreements for use with these two programs which contain specific funding source language required by the the WIOA and CalWORKs programs.  There is a need to create a general worksite agreement for use when other non WIOA or CalWORKs funding sources become available for work experience programs.   

Staff requests the approval and adoption of a general CSWD non-financial Work Experience Agreement template. The template has been reviewed and approved by County Counsel. In addition, staff requests the approval to authorize the Director of HHSA and/or Deputy Director of CSWD to sign the existing agreements and any amendments to such agreements.

It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:

1. Approve and adopt the CSWD non-financial Work Experience Agreement template and authorize the Director of HHSA and/or the Deputy Director of CSWD to enter into said agreements on the County's behalf on the approved agreement templates and any amendments to such agreements.
