Subject:Contract with Oakland Private Industry Council
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
A core component of these services is the availability of occupational training which allows the Workforce
Development Board, its One-Stop Career Centers and its youth providers to continue regular WIA training services to
job seeking clients. The contractor (OPIC) will provide training for at least 165 eligible adults seeking employment.
The contractor has historically met or exceeded its contract goals. Their past performance was evaluated as part of
their response to the RFP that lead to awarding this contract. (#18-346-0)

on-the-job skills training.
