Summary Narrative
The 2019-20 WIOA Adult Program Dashboard reports depict the goals vs. actual goal attainment of each
funding stream within the WIOA Adult, Dislocated Worker, and all discretionary grant programs. Each grant
is represented on its own dashboard listing each goal, and the projected goal attainment by month. Program
enrollment represents new client enrollments in the current program year, with the remaining goals met by
any clients active in 2019-20.
For the base Adult and Dislocated Worker programs, goals are in line with the exception of Dislocated
Worker job placements, which are slightly under expectations for this month. Staff has spoken with ResCare
management and will be providing technical assistance on building a connection between case managers and
business-facing staff to ensure that the latest job availability information is available to those who work with
jobseekers directly.
Based upon the results displayed on the Dashboard, goals for HSA and Probation are being met, with two
exceptions, both on the HSA contract. One is the amount of new employer contacts, which is under the
amount projected at this time. This is because of a slowdown requested by HSA because their caseloads had
declined, and HSA did not want us reaching out to new employers to discuss the Expanded Subsidized
Employment program when they did not have participants to provide for those sites. The second is the line
item for job fairs on the westside. That will be alleviated with our Los Banos Hiring Fair in May.

Fiscal Dashboard
To: Merced County Workforce Development Board Executive Committee
From: Merced County Workforce Development Board Staff
Action Required
Accept and file the February 2020 Fiscal Dashboard.
Summary Narrative
The 2019-20 Fiscal Summary and Dashboard provides expenditures vs. allocation by individual grants. • Any grant active during the program year (PY) is featured in the Fiscal Dashboard.• Grants all have different start and end dates during the PY.• Data represented on the Dashboard displays the pacing of expenditures for each grant program.• Some programs require that most of the grant funding be expended at the start of the program, while
others pace expenditures incrementally over the course of the PY.• Tracking the fiscal life of grant programs ensures that all funds are expended according to the grant
cycle.
AB 1111, the “Breaking Barriers to Employment” Grant, is not included in this report, as it is expected to begin on April 1, 2020, pending receipt of funding from the California Workforce Development Board.
The Probation grant is currently underspent, however staff are in discussion with County Probation to redevelop the partnership between Workforce Investment and Probation, with the purpose of ensuring that services are provided through strategies that provide the maximum benefit to participants in the grant.

Summary Narrative
The 2019-20 WIOA Youth Program Dashboard reports depict the goals vs. actual goal attainment of the WIOA Youth Program operated by the Merced County Office of Education via the EMPOWER Program. The dashboard lists each goal and the projected goal attainment by month. Program enrollment represents new client enrollments in the current program year with remaining goals met by clients active in 2019-20.
The EMPOWER Program provides educational assistance and job training to help out-of-school youth ages 18-24 succeed in school, then transition to college and/or a career. Youth that do not have a high school diploma receive basic education skills, tutoring, and study skills, with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy, in order to obtain a GED or high school diploma. EMPOWER youth are also provided paid and/or unpaid work experience, employability skills training, leadership development, placement in post-secondary education (to include career technical education and/or occupational skills training), support services, adult mentoring, comprehensive guidance and counseling, and follow-up services for at least 12 months after completion of participation in the program. The goal of all planned services is to lead to educational and career success for each participant.
Staff is going to provide technical assistance again to EMPOWER staff, as the numbers submitted in relation to closures continue to not match values placed in CalJOBS. In addition, numbers for February are either the same or similar in most instances to numbers for January and December, which was explained to staff as being because the program anticipates exits by the end of March and hadn’t had many exits the last three months. Staff will be meeting with the EMPOWER team to discover what the issues around exits and CalJOBS entries are to ensure proper handling of cases and data quality.

Healthcare Sector Strategy Report

Action Required

Summary Narrative
On February 28, 2020, the Department of Workforce Investment hosted a meeting with industry leaders from
the healthcare sector in Merced County. A full report on the meeting is attached, but the key takeaway is the
two issues that the industry leaders have asked for the Department to work on in the coming year. These
issues are: the development of the K-12 pipeline for healthcare workers in Merced County, and partnering
with the Mariposa-Merced County Medical Society on their physician and practitioner retention and
attraction efforts.
We have reached out to the participants and those who were invited but could not make it to begin building
work groups to progress on these items.

High Performing Workforce Board Application Update
To: Merced County Workforce Development Board Executive Committee
From: Merced County Workforce Development Board Staff
Action Required
None Summary Narrative
California Unemployment Insurance Code Section 14200(c) sets forth the criteria for a Local Workforce Development Board (LWDB) to be designated as high-performance, which includes a provision that a portion of the Governor’s 15% WIOA discretionary funds will be set aside to provide performance incentives to high-performing LWDBs. The statute reads that high-performance is determined based on:
- Consistently meeting negotiated performance goals; - Approval of a local workforce development strategic plans that meets the state’s criteria; - Establishment of a strategic business engagement plan with a subcommittee that offers
recommendation for the plan and that meets state criteria. On January 17, 2020 the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) released a Draft Directive with a comment period to extend through February 16, 2020 that specifies the process for achieving High Performing Board status. Included in this Draft Directive is a due date of February 28, 2020 for all High Performing Board Applications to be submitted to the CWDB. In preparation for that deadline, Merced County Workforce Development Board staff prepared the application for submission, including the approval of the Business Services Strategic Plan and the establishment of the Business Services Subcommittee through a Bylaws amendment at the February 13 full Workforce Development Board Meeting. However, prior to February 28, 2020, the CWDB informed LWDB Directors that because the Draft Directive would not be placed in formal Directive status before the February 28th deadline, the application submission deadline would be moved to a date to be determined upon finalization of the Directive.

The Homeless Court Navigator will also serve as the workforce development case manager for these participants, providing them with consistency in the process.

Board Member Collaboration Session
To: Merced County Workforce Development Board Executive Committee
From: Merced County Workforce Development Board Staff
Action Required
None
Summary Narrative
At the December Workforce Development Board Meeting, feedback was taken on future agenda items. This feedback included a suggestion that at the next Workforce Development Board meeting in April, there be a discussion on how the organizations represented at the table can collaborate to tackle the workforce development issues in the community. It was suggested that this discussion could lead to more familiarity in the group for each others’ operations and the role that each organization and each board member plays in the workforce development system.
The purpose of this item is to get feedback from the Executive Committee on what topics should be discussed, and what the end goal of such a discussion should be.
