BACKGROUND:
|
On November 30, 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution Number 071154 accepting a revenue grant from the Department of Labor (DOL) for the HERO program. HERO will implement energy efficiency workforce training and job placement for unemployed and incumbent workers.
|
|
|
ACWIB worked with San Mateo County Workforce Investment Board (SMCWIB) and other community partners to submit the HERO proposal.
|
|
|
DISCUSSION:
|
ACWIB will provide support to HERO training program participants, industry partners and employers by capturing data and producing reports as needed.
The HERO programs will provide training for a minimum of 480 participants in the areas of building performance: retrofit technician, sales and audits, financing, customer service and real estate. The goals of these programs are to build skills and to provide specific training and assistance for adult and dislocated workers to find and retain stable employment in the home retrofit industry.
|
|
|
The HERO revenue grant was accepted by the Board of Supervisors on November 30, 2010. The contracts with the grant partners are backdated to reflect the dates of the HERO grant.
|
|
|
The Contractor has assured compliance with the County's Contractor Employee Jury Service Ordinance, as well as all other contract provisions that are required by County ordinance and administrative memoranda, including but not limited to insurance, hold harmless, non-discrimination and equal benefits. County Counsel has reviewed and approved this Agreement and Resolution as to form and Risk Management has approved the Contractor’s insurance for this Agreement.
|
|
|
Approval of this Agreement contributes to Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Prosperous Community by providing educational, vocational and support services to adult and dislocated workers. This Agreement will fund support for the HERO training programs which will provide a minimum of 480 participants an opportunity at self sufficiency. It is anticipated that 94% of participants will complete training and 80% of those will complete certificate or credentials in FY 2010-11. This target is expected to increase in future years.
