DENNIS DELZEIT SCOTT MONTGOMERY City Engineer Councilmember JOHN V. GILLESPIE RICHARD T. HARE Chief of Police City Treasurer MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Community Development DATE: June 12, 1989 SUBJECT: Clarification of the Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark Request for Community Development Block Grant Funds for the Vocational Training/Exploration Project Pursuant to Council's request at the March 15, 1989, C.D.B.G. Public Hearing, staff is returning with a report which describes in more detail how the Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark, (BGCM), will he implementing the use of $6,000 in their Vocational Training/Exploration Program. Additionally, this report will explain how the program will fit with other similar programs in the County. Because the BGCM proposal Is for start up costs, specific details/statistics cannot be provided at this time, however, the program feasibility and contribution to the community can be identified. This report will show bow the BGCM can use CDBG funds to create a new and viable program by offering practical job related skills to the youth of our community. Discussion Staff has pursued clarification of the BGCM proposal, and has also researched this program in relation to others, (such as the Youth Employment Service, and the Joint Powers Training Authority) . C ently, the JPTA and the YES programs are the only vocational MOORPARK, CALIFCI j nCe programs in the area. The YES program Is based in City Council Meeusand Oaks and Simi Valley, and both claim Moorpark as their of � vice region. The JPTA serves 1,100 youths County-wide, with a . portion of Moorpark participants, (exact figures were not ACTION: available, but like other County programs, at least 50% are from Oxnard, and 30% from Ventura) . Both these programs operate in a similar fashion as the description provided by the BGCM, detailed in Attachment A, "Grant Proposal and Project Description". By 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 V 1, After contacting the Private Industry Council, staff has learned that the JPTA program has a very limited service for Moorpark residents. Currently less than fifty youths are provided vocational guidance, and the job placement for these participants can range from Ojai to Simi Valley, without giving preference to Moorpark businesses. Additionally, staff has learned that the JPTA only has one liaison in Moorpark, Catholic Charities, and is quite anxious to develop a working relationship with the BGCM when their program is initiated. If JPTA and the BGCM can work together, the BGCM can acquire additional federal funding, and have a broader selection of career choices for the participants, (if they choose to be placed outside of Moorpark) . YES offers services to Moorpark youths primarily from the Thousand Oaks office. This arrangement makes training difficult for local youths because of limited transportation resources. It also allows the Thousand Oaks YES agency to receive funding for providing vocational training for Moorpark, where these funds could be kept in the City if a local YES was established. It is the goal of the executive director to initiate the vocational program under the standards of YES, (as described in the Attachment "C"), and once the track record is established, the BGCM will recapture the funds that are currently being allocated to Thousand Oaks. The Moorpark Boys and Girls Club hopes to be Moorpark's Youth Employment Service, as is the case in Santa Paula. Currently, Moorpark is the only City in the County without a local YES program. Details of the BGCM Program Staff has attached the Grant Proposal and Project Description (Attachment A), the job description to be funded (Attachment B), and the model program, "Enterprise"(Attachment C) from which the BGCM program will be designed. The program will be staffed in July, researched, advertised and coordinated up until September, and then initiated with 60 local youths. Staff recruitment will be advertised regionally through the Boys and Girls Club communication network, requiring a bachelor's degree, or three years of related experience. The coordinator will then develop the mentor relationships through local industry, and recruit additional help to run the program. The BGCM hopes to train some of the participants to become aids, and assist in providing vocational guidance for new members. Recruiting participants will be conducted on the two high school campuses, and the local papers. The BGCM will focus on those youths with the greatest need, specifically, low income and the Community High School applicants. The first 60 participants will be placed in phase one of the program, and then at the beginning of the second session, these youths will move to the second step, and 60 new people will be in phase one, and so forth for three sessions a year. Based on the current high school enrollment figures, and the program budget, 60 students at a time in each phase, (or 180 total), is initial the enrollement goal. During the beginning of the program, the executive director does not feel comfortable starting with too many participants until the program can be perfected. Eventually, the funding will determine the capacity of service provided to the community, and this fundingpiously discussa pwill become reviously to the BGCM from sources other than CDBG, as d. The current feasibility of initiating the program is detailed in the proposal, Attachment "A". The success of fund raisers like the car show and the golf tournament have indicated that the BGCM is on schedule for meeting those projections as described in the budget summary, also part of Attachment "A". Recommendations That the City Council accept the Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark proposal as resubmittedo � and performance in reporting report, n staff to° create deemed further requirements appropriate.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION - (Narrative) (Attach any preliminary plans or drawings) L. Detailed Narrative description: vocational Exploration Project is a program that is common to many Boys Clubs throughout the nation. The project is geared towards educating teens, presently in high-school , about the process of employment as well as a better understanding of "what lies ahead" in the career of their choice. The program stresses three areas of learning. 1 . Vocational Education- Step one of the program will teach the youth the method of exploring and researching their careers, resume preparation, interviewing skills, work ethics as well as professional conduct. 2. Vacational Exploration- The youth that participates in this program will be matched with a mentor presently practicing on the career that the youth wishes to pursue. The youth will be able to explore the work atmosphere through the mentor who will give guidance and light to the real work setting that is set forthe. 3. Job Placement- The third phase of this program will place the youth that have gone through step one of our program. We will properly orient , train and screen young applicants that wish to gain employment in the community . The third phase will include a formation of community Job Board which will take referrals from the business and merchants in the Community. 1. Need(s) to be addressed: Boys and Girls Club of Moorpark is the only youth agency, that offers a drop-in program, in the the community of Moorpark. Moorpark has experienced explosive growth in the past five years and the social services for youth has not kept pace with the growth in population. We are presently faced with lack of teen programs for kids in this community. This has led the teens to cure their boredom which means loitering and other unsocially acceptable activities. We plan to address their need by taking advantage of the corporate migration into our community. Linking these resources with the youth would not only give the kids a positive outlet but, also give the businesses in our community a pool of energetic and ambitious workers. ppl./Jah/g/2 L/6/89 . i I • B.

ENTERPRISE ATTACHMENT C 1 1 FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS FACT SHEET SEPTEMBER 1987—AUGUST 1988 Enterprise for High School Students was established in 1969 as a non-profit job referral and career development agency for San Francisco high school stu- dents. o The goal of Enterprise is to help young people develop employment skills and good work habits by referring them to jobs and appren- ticeships in which they can be successful and gain experience. o 77% of the students Enterprise serves attend public schools; 17% at- tend schools with some religious affiliation, and 6% attend independent schools. o Participating students reflect the ethnic diversity of San Francisco: 49% Asian; 24% Caucasian; 17% Black; 8% Hispanic and 1% other. o While Asian participants constitute half the students, they are also a very diverse. 70% are Chinese, 11% are Vietnamese, 10 % are Philipino, 2% are Burmese, 2% are Cambodian, 2% are Korean, and Laotian, Thai and Taiwanese constitute the rest. FINANCIAL SUPPORT As a non-profit organization, Enterprise receives its financial support from individuals, foundations and corporations. It receives no government funding. o 71% of the agency's revenue is used to support direct service programs. o 15 foundations and 17 corporations contributed in fiscal year 1987-88. o Enterprise is the beneficiary of the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show. The Show raises more than half of the agency's budget. In October 1987, the Show involved over 200 volunteers, 64 exhibitors, and attracted 10,000 visitors. MAJOR PROGRAMS Job Referral The Enterprise Job Referral Program helps high school students get work. In addition, the program prepares students to succeed in their jobs, develop good work habits, and gain employment experience. o From September 1987 through August 1988, the program served 1 ,379 stu- dents with city-wide job referral. Of this group, 1 ,112 students were (over) 1 3275 SACRAMENTO STREET•SAN FRANCISCO,CA 94115 (415) 921-6554 Job Referral • (415)921-2020 Career Exploration 20 newly-registered Enterprisers and each enrolled in a job search skills workshop, which includes individualized screening and skill identifica- tion. The number of new Enterprisers increased by 118 from the previous year. o Over 4,600 jobs were developed for students from September 1987 through August 1988, an increase of 500 jobs from the previous year. 1,991 of these were jobs in commercial establishments. o In addition to the Job Search Skills workshop, an advanced workshop with special emphasis on communication skills was offered for the first time in 1987-88 to students needing extra help. o Catering workshops were also available throughout the year to students interested in learning how to serve at social functions. o 22 volunteers assisted with the Job Referral program in 1987-88. o A paid summer gardening project for 27 Enterprise students at Buena Vista and neighboring parks was coordinated by Enterprise during the summer of 1988. The work performed by the students is estimated to have saved the City $132,000. The program has operated since 1980 and has saved San Francisco close to $700,000. Apprenticeship Program The Apprenticeship Program provides qualified high school juniors and seniors with opportunities to explore a variety of professional career areas. o Through the program, apprentices learn new skills and concepts, develop useful contacts, and gain a basis for making future career deci- sions and for evaluating their own academic and personal assets. o Student apprentices work 6-10 hours per week in the spring and 15-20 hours in the summer in apprenticeships in such fields as architecture, graphic arts, business, engineering, teaching, journalism, law and public relations. o Medical apprentices work at least 40 hours per week for seven weeks during the summer. Medical apprenticeships offer students extensive ex- posure to a range of careers in the health science field. o Each apprentice is paid a stipend upon the successful completion of the program. o In 1988, the program sponsored 97 apprentices and involved 190 volun- teer supervisors and advisors from throughout the community.

Z7 KNOW YOUR SKILLS A skill is an ability you feel comfortable about because you 've developed reasonable competence in using it -- whether you've been paid to do it or not. An employer must know if you have the skills for a particular job before he/she hires you. You need to make a list of your skills so you will know which jobs you can do well. This will help you to convince an employer to hire you. My skills are Job Categories • What can I DO • What is AVAILABLE Working with my hands/tools Handyman; House cleaning Athletic ability Tutoring/Coaching a sport Handyman (construction moving) Detail work Inventory, filing, hand addressing Mathematics Tutoring; Sales Computers Operating : (brand) Programming ; data entry.

The list contains suggestions you may wish to include in your state- ment. Three suggestions from the list will be sufficient. Punctual Leadership Logical Intelligent Artistic Learn Quickly Good with Children Follow Instructions Reliable Friendly Athletic Able to Work with Others Honest Work well with Others Careful Experienced at working with Minorities Strong Experienced at working with Hands Writing Ability Experienced at working with Money Physical Stamina Ability to Organize YOUR AVAILABILITY How much time do you have available to work? Several afternoons a week? Daily after school? Weekends only? Take into account that your available hours may vary depending on your school activity or sports schedule, as well as the distance you are willing to travel for a job. Write in your available days and hours on your registra- tion card. 1 After School : M - F (occasionally - everyday) (Weekdays) Time (Example : 3 to 6) Weekends : Saturday (occasionally - all) and Time Sunday (occasionally - all) and Time REFERENCES Employers often want you to contact responsible persons who can verify your job qualifications . You are responsible for getting two adults who will agree to serve as references for you. Your references must sign the two cards provided before you can be referred by Enterprise. 1) Grade Counselor 2) Academic Teacher 7 . 30 YOU GET JOBS AT ENTERPRISE TWO WAYS: I . YOU VISIT OUR OFFICE • Domestic Jobs - Check job boxes but do not remove the cards except to read them. - Use scratch paper to transfer necessary information from job cards . - If you plan to call an employer, record your name and the date on the back of the card under "student will call . " - Check only the job categories which have been okayed for you by your interviewer. - Replace each job box before taking another. • Commercial Jobs - Check the board for jobs that are appropriate, but DO NOT remove job descriptions posted on the board. - Take the number on the job description to Chuck, who will tell you the name, address, and phone number of the employer. - If you intend to apply for the job, record your name and the date on the job sheet (in Chuck' s yellow folder) . IMPORTANT: If you've signed your name to a domestic job card or a commercial job sheet, you must call the em- ployer within 24 hours. WHILE IN THE OFFICE 1) Say HELLO! Introduce yourself to the volunteer at desk just inside the door. 2) Sign the book as you enter --- giving name and job category. 3) Remember that you are in a business office. Avoid gum chewing, loud talking, and clowning around. 4) Ask for help if you need it. II . YOU ARE CALLED AT HOME • Domestic Jobs : We give students ' names to employers (usually in the same zipcode) who will call you at home. Please write down necessary information. • Commercial Jobs : You will be phoned in the evening by our "night caller. " If you say YES , please write down the 8 . 31 necessary information and call the employer the next day. • Explain to your family that your name is registered with a job referral agency, and that you will be called at home about jobs. • Train your family how to take messages for you. Enterprise calls each employer to see which students called about the job and if anyone was hired. It is frustrating to all concerned if those who agree to call, don' t. PLEASE . IF YOU SAY, "YES I WILL CONTACT THE EMPLOYER, " DO SO WITHIN 24 HOURS. * Call the office and let us know if you find a job, or are involved in activities which make it impossible for you to work, or you no longer want to be referred for certain kinds of jobs. PENALTY Enterprise will no longer refer a student who: - gives information about our jobs to non-Enterprise students. If you wish to job share, it must be with another Enterprise student. - is a "no-show" on a job. You must call the employer if an emergency arises and you cannot work or you will be more than 15 minutes late. -*continually fails to contact employers after in- dicating to us that he/she intends to apply for specific jobs. JOB SHARING Job Sharing is TWO PEOPLE SHARING ONE JOB. • During the school year, some students like to work 2 or 3 days after school - - but the job is every day. • Some like to work weekends , but not every weekend. • Some of the best summer jobs are only available on a full-time basis , but the students want to work part-time. YOU CAN SHARE A PART TIME JOB. YOU CAN SHARE A FULL TIME JOB. If you want to know more about Job Sharing, let us know. 9 . TELEPHONE USE Successful communication over the telephone is not dependent on physical things like smiling, gestures or posture. The key to creating a favorable impression on the phone is VOCAL EXPRESSION -- the use of language, correct grammar, voice tone, rate of speech and clear communication. Just like a disc jockey, you convey a "visual image" of yourself by your style over the phone. If you're uneasy or nervous about using the telephone, you overcome these feelings through preparation and practice. To create favorable impressions of yourself to the employer, you want to convey that you are CONFIDENT, EASY TO UNDERSTAND, POLITE AND BUSINESSLIKE. 1. BE CONFIDENT: Before speaking, take a deep breath. Don't giggle or mumble. You want to sound self-assured. 2. BE EASY TO UNDERSTAND: Speak at a comfortable rate of speed--not too slow or too fast. Pause between sentences. If you speak too fast, the employer won't understand you. 3. BE POLITE: Ask for the employer by name. If he/she is not in, ask when you may call again. Always introduce yourself, saying your name slowly and clearly. Do not speak on the phone while eating or drinking! Always thank the employer. 4 . BE BUSINESSLIKE: Be prepared before you pick up the phone. • Have paper and pencil ready so you can take notes. Be sure to write down names , addresses and appoint- ment dates and times. • KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO SAY. Before you call, prepare a checklist of points you want to cover and questions you want to ask. • Clearly explain the reason for the call . • Ask for the spelling/pronunciation of someone ' s name if you are not sure of it. • if you don' t understand something , ask the employer to repeat it. WHEN THE EMPLOYER CALLS YOU o Train your family to take messages for you, then return the call the same day, if possible. o Give a definite answer when the employer asks if you can work. o Write down and keep all job information. o To answer the question, "Is Joe or Mary there" say "this is he/she" . 10 . 33 OUTLINE FOR THE TELEPHONE CONVERSATION 1. Ask for the name of the person who does the hiring for the position you want. (CONTACT PERSON) 2. Introduce yourself, (first AND last name) , say your're from Enterprise, and address that person by name. Example : Mr. Jones, I'm Jane Doe from Enterprise : I 'm interested in your sales job. Is it still available?" 3. Give your qualifications. 4. Ask for an interview if appropriate. 5. If the employer seems interested in meeting you, set an interview date, time and place. BE SURE TO WRITE EVERY- THING DOWN! 6. Thank the employer for his or her time and information. TELEPHONE REMINDERS 1. Many firms will tell you to come to their office/store to complete an application. If you want to work for this employer, take the address down and go in person. 2. If, when calling an employer, you cannot reach the person you need to talk to, don' t leave a message. Find out when the person will be in and then call back. 3. Check the address of the company BEFORE you phone to be sure that you can get to that location easily and within resonable time. Write the address on your Contact List. Be sure to check the address with the employer to make sure it is still correct. 4. There are ZIP CODE maps on the round table to help you determine the distance to the job site. 11 PLACES TO CALL/PEOPLE TO TALK TO LIST m Name of Company Telephone Who to Appointment Other Result and Address Number Talk to Day/Time Information I • 3S JOB INTERVIEW The job interview determines whether you will be hired. During the interview, the employer has one more opportunity after your initial telephone call to screen you for the job -- and to decide if you are the right person for the job. First impressions are lasting and crucial. The average inter- view lasts only eight minutes , so every moment counts . Preparing yourself and planning ahead will assure you of your ultimate goal -- GETTING THE JOB. TIPS FOR A BETTER INTERVIEW 1. PREPARE. Practice! Anticipate possible questions you may be asked and practice by being able to answer them clearly & concisely. Your answers help the interviewer figure out your personal "style" , how you organize your thoughts, how you might solve problems, how you might work with other employees. • Why do you want to work for us? (never "because I need a job" , etc. ) • How would you describe yourself? (Give only a job- related answer such as "I' m organized, on time, interested in learning new skills , like detail, enjoy working with people, " etc. ) 0 Write out questions YOU want to ask about the job and/or business. This showsinterest and helps you decide if you want the job. A few suggestions : • What are my duties and responsibilities? • Is this a short or long term job? How many hours per week will I be working? • What are my opportunities for a raise? • How much does this job pay? (The minimum wage is $3. 35 an hour) . 3 . MAKE A LIST of the things you need to bring to the interview, (pen, social security number) . 4. RESEARCH THE COMPANY. • Kind of product or service. • Location of company or worksite. • Job requirements . 13 . 3( 5. BE ABLE TO DISCUSS : • How your past experience relates directly to the job you are now seeking. • Two or three skills you have to offer the employer. • Two or three job-related strengths (or interests) . 6. BE ON TIME • It is wise to arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment time . • If you are late for the interview, you probably won' t get the job because the employer will assume that you will also be late for work. 7 . LOOK GOOD Come to the interview neat and clean and alone. Avoid heavy makeup. Go easy on perfume or cologne. Dress appropriately for the job. Don't smoke, chew gum, wear sunglasses, or dis- tracting jewelry or clothes. 8. ACT INTERESTED - Body Language and Eye Contact • If you are offered a handshake, give a firm one. • Sit down only when invited to or when the other person sits . Maintain good posture but be comfortable. Erect posture shows confidence and attention. 9 . SHOW RESPECT • Be polite and courteous to everyone you meet at the interview. • Make sure you know the interviewer' s last name before the interview begins. Repeat it in your conversation. Every- one enjoys hearing his/her name, and using it makes your conversation more personal . Don' t use first names unless requested. 10. BE ENTHUSIASTIC! ! ! Bring a positive attitude to the interview. Avoid talking about your problems and complaining about the last job. Work to sell yourself. Smile -- allow your personality and enthusiasm to shine. 11. ASK FOR THE JOB. Often a person is passed over because the interviewer was left with the impression that the applicant didn' t really want the job. Make sure to tell the employer at the end of the interview that you really want the job. 14 . 3'7 12. SAY THANK YOU As you leave, thank the interviewer by name and shake his or her hand. Ask when a decision will be made and if you may call back at that time . *Follow up a day later with a thank you note. It shows you appreciated the interviewer' s time. POST-INTERVIEW CHECKLIST Did you arrive at the interview ten minutes early? Was your clothing suitable for the job? Did you shake hands at the beginning and end of the interview? Did you know and use the interviewer' s name during the interview? Did you sit comfortably without fidgeting or squirming? Was your posture alert and did you lean slightly toward the interviewer to show your interest? Did you use direct eye contact, smile and act friendly? Did you demonstrate enthusiasm and real desire to be hired? Did you determine when the next contact with the interviewer will be? Did you understand the interviewer' s questions and respond? Did you ask your questions about the job? Did you communicate your good points? Did you thank the interviewer? WOULD YOU HIRE YOURSELF BASED ON THIS INTERVIEW? WORK PERMITS Every person under 18 must, by law, apply for a work permit IF he or she intends to work in an office, restaurant, or store. Applications are available at Enterprise (please ask at the San Francisco Unified School District, 1525 Golden Gate Ave. , 8 : 30 a.m. to 4 :00 p.m. , Monday through Friday. 15 . 3g GENERAL TIPS FOR AN APPLICATION 1. READ the application carefully, BEFORE you begin writing. 2 . ALWAYS USE ink or type the application, unless pencil is specified. 3. ALWAYS print, unless otherwise requested. 4 . BE NEAT. No erasure, smudges , spilled coke, etc. Use "N/A" (Not Applicable) when a question does not apply to you. If you have a lot of short jobs -- don't list them all. Group them together under a single heading such as "babysitting" . Sign the application. After finishing, always take the time to check over the application carefully for spelling, neatness , accuracy and completeness. UNSPOKEN WAYS TO CONVINCE AN EMPLOYER TO HIRE YOU 1. Be early for your interview. 2. Be clean, neat, and wear conservative appropriate clothes. 3. Avoid distracting habits or mannerisms. 4 .
