Subject:Amend Contract with Goodwill Industries for STEP-UP Program
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The objective of the Subsidized Temporary Experience with Pay for the Under-Employed Program
(STEP-UP) is to provide entry level paid work experience to designated California Work Opportunity and
Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) participants who are not meeting their Welfare-to-Work (WTW)
participation requirement by immediately placing them into paid worksite assignments for a maximum of
30 days.
The goal of STEP-UP, when coupled with their necessary WTW activities and services, is to immediately
engage WTW participants by providing an exposure to work and basic job skills ultimately leading to their
long-term job placement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without contract approval, STEP-UP will not continue in Contra Costa County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The contract supports three of the five community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card: 3)
"Families that are Economically Self Sufficient"; 4) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and, 5)
"Communities that are Safe, and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families" by providing paid
short term entry level work experience to CalWORKS Welfare-to-Work participants.
