Information Item # 3 WIOA Youth Policies

The CSTB Board has a formal policy “CSTB Policy and Procedure Development – Policy #

019-C0038 that was effective on 11.21.2019. This policy outlines CSTB policy framework, format, matrix and numbering system, implantation timeline, post implementation analysis, ongoing training, periodic reviews and modifications.

Policies are created for the following areas:

• All CSF and DEO policies requiring board policy • Recommendations by CEO, COO, CFO and senior leadership staff • Key programmatic areas within organization

All policies drafted by the CPPO are sent to the CSTB executive, senior leadership team and

CSTB Board counsel for review and input. Input is solicited and received prior to a policy being submitted to the appropriate CSTB Committee, Executive Committee or Board of Directors for review, consideration and recommendation for approval. Policies require Board level approval, prior to implementation by CSTB staff. Policies are finalized internally and prepared for CSTB Committee/Board where CPPO presents for approval.

Once approved by the Board of Directors, the policy is updated with official implementation

date, formatted in a PDF version and sent out to the CSTB senior leadership team. The policy is then placed on the U Drive at U:\Career Services\2019 Policies and Procedures and then placed on the Intranet (http://local.careersourcetampabay.com/) – located under the “CSTB Policy and Procedure” header and also placed on the CSTB website (https://www.careersourcetampabay.com/reports-and-publications/) - located under the “Reports and Publications” section under “About Us.”

The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 enacted a comprehensive

youth employment program for serving eligible youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education, training, and employment.

Funds for youth services are allocated to states and local areas based on a formula. The

WIOA Youth Program focuses primarily on out-of-school youth, requiring local areas to expend a minimum of 75% of WIOA youth funds on them. The program includes 14 program elements that are required to be made available to youth participants. WIOA prioritizes work experience through a 20% minimum expenditure rate for the work experience program element.

Information Item # 5 Youth Unemployment Rate

According to the 2019 US Census Bureau, an estimated 185,008 young adults between the

ages of 16-24 reside in Hillsborough County, comprising nearly 13% of the total estimated population in 2019. Youth and young adults face unique barriers to employment and the need for relevant career exploration opportunities. Youth unemployment rates are nearly double the overall unemployment rate and the employment rates of ages 16-19 (24%) and 20-24 (63%) in Tampa Bay are reflective of the national downward trend of fewer young adults in the labor force, as reported by the Brookings Institution. Furthermore, nearly 45,000 are disconnected youth ages 16-24 who are not in school or the workforce and have attained less than an associate degree, positioning them for an increased risk of subsequent poverty and unemployment. Without a supportive environment, the most vulnerable youth and young adults – such as those from low-income families, current and former foster care youth, pregnant and parenting, and other at-risk populations – often encounter significant challenges in developing the necessary skills to enter the workforce.

The trend of declining workforce participation rate of youth and young adults ages 16-24

nationwide over the past couple decades is projected to continue, with USDOL 2022 estimates at 50%, largely attributed to increasing school attendance. Without intervention, these compounded barriers for disadvantaged young adults lacking the financial means and/or skill levels to pursue training, and without connection to education and or the workforce, are set up for lifelong barriers to employment and self-sufficiency.

WIOA shifts the primary program focus of Title 1 formula programs to support the educational

and career success of out-of-school youth. It creates opportunities for youth that move beyond traditional employment and training services and infuses such principles as preparation for postsecondary opportunities, establishing a strong future pipeline, linkages between academic and occupational learning, connections to the local job market, and needed follow- up services for youth served under the Act.

OUR VISION

Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow.

We are making connections that matter!

The CareerSource Tampa Bay Summer Youth Employment Program, branded Summer Job Connection (SJC) provides a unique opportunity for career exploration to youth in Hillsborough County. Summer youth employment programs instill the young adults of tomorrow with critical essential skills that all employers need. The SJC program orientated youth to the world of work, and exposed them to new experiences, ideas and potential career paths for the future through hands-on, real-world work experience through paid work experience positions in demand occupations or targeted industries. The program design was a vision created by CareerSource Tampa Bay (CSTB) that was met with the full support of the Board of Directors and the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, as well. The inaugural program year was 2019.

Unemployment rates for youth in the age range of 16-24 years old usually run upwards of 13-14%. Our Summer Job Connection program prepares Hillsborough County youth to be work ready by exposing to opportunities in targeted occupations, established a future talent pipeline and assisted with reducing the skills gap shortage. With a focused emphasis on CSTB's core vision, Talent meets opportunity. Our SJC program is equipping the future talent pipeline for Hillsborough County employers.

AT A GLANCE: FACTS AND FIGURES

Reflecting On Our StructureAs the COVID-19 national pandemic hit, we felt that it was best to pivot our program to a virtual online Career Exploration model, this summer, instead of the traditional paid work experience internship model. Many factors went into this decision such as the health, safety and well- being of youth, and our staff and the overall social and economic impact. This decision came as so many businesses are starting to slowly reopen, and needed to focus on these strategies and the impact to their overall operations during this time. The Career Exploration program model, CXP consisted of a four week online curricula that provided young adults an opportunity to really explore potential career options, conduct research, participate in engaging activities, network and communicate with other youth with similar interests and connect with some local business leaders in Hillsborough County. The Youth Summit took place on 6/10/2020 and 6/11/2020, and the CXP program launched on 6/15/2020.

The Lunch & Learn sessions were accomplished through Zoom meetings; averaging an hour in length. We felt that it was critical for young adults to hear from our local Hillsborough County leaders as to what they are looking for, what it takes to work at their business and how they achieved success. A business leaders passion can ignite and motivate a young adult in such a powerful way. Youth feedback received in post program survey requested additional Zoom Lunch & Learn sessions.

"There is no doubt, these are unprecedented times. Employers are worried about maintaining their business, production, and customer base. Employees are worried about their jobs and families. Our youth are emerging into a very different workforce. Last year CareerSource Tampa Bay commenced Summer Job Connect. As an employer it gave me the opportunity to promote my industry as a career option to the emerging workforce/students. CareerSource Tampa Bay provided the composition for “On The Job Training” which provided me a healthy workforce without cost thus yielding an measurable increase in company profits. Combined with the fact I gained firsthand experience and dibs on the emerging workforce – I say it was a GREAT success. This year social distancing eliminated the same possibilities as last year. However, once again CareerSource Tampa Bay soared to the occasion and instead of “On The Job Training” they used technology to bring employers and students together. I was honored to have been selected to experience a virtual classroom presentation. I was amazed how active the students were in the session, the questions they asked, and the respect they showed. Mike and Jenifer did a fantastic job orchestrating the virtual classroom presentation and keeping order while allowing the students to express themselves. I hope the students got as much out of the class as I did. Strange, I no longer think of them as the unemployment office. I think of CareerSource Tampa Bay as my business partner. CareerSource Tampa Bay is the perfect example of a successful Private Public Partnership (P3)" - Larry Pasetti, COO of Minimise USA


Youth InterviewsTerry Jones is a second year SJC program participant that has recently been accepted to Hillsborough Community College for Graphic Design. Terry explained that he expected and appreciated the SJC program being more rigorous as this enabled him to challenge himself this year and improve on his soft skills covered throughout CXP, such as time management. One of the biggest lessons Terry learned this program year was when Mark Gibson, SJC Skills Instructor, played a video talking about Kobe Bryant and how he achieved fame. The video has allowed him to build up his confidence as he steps out of his comfort zone and allow people to get a better understanding of him rather than assume. Terry goes on to discuss his favorite Lunch & Learn meeting was with Kenny Mention from Fade In Full Barber Shop. It touched Terry as Kenny told his story of growing to become the barber he is today and made Terry think about his current career path. From that moment, Terry has been searching for the perfect career and backup plan.

"Hannah Psiaki enjoyed SJC due to its flexibility and adaptability of the program. Also, she learned important interview tips and writing a proper job application. Her favorite presentation was with Voncara Daly due to her personal attempts to get hired at Publix. COVID-19 impacted Hannah by interfering with her senior year. Due to the pandemic, her prom and other senior events were cancelled. "Don't take every school day for granted," she stated.
