SUBJECT: STATUS REPORT ON THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Acknowledge receipt of the attached report from the Director
of Personnel on the status of the Career Development
Employment Program.
2 . In view of the fact that the County_ has some 65 to 70
candidates tested and on eligible lists for the Career
Development Employment Program but is unlikely to hire many of
them in the near future because of recent layoffs and the need
to rehire laid off workers before hiring new workers, request
the Director of Personnel to determine how best to make
contact with private sector employers in the County and other
public sector employers in the County (particularly cities and
independent special districts) who may be hiring and make
available to them the names of those applicants for the Career
Development Employment Program the County has on eligible
lists . This should include contacts with individual public
and private employers, articles in the Contra Costa Council ' s
Update and various chamber of commerce newsletters and other
methods of which the Director of Personnel may be aware.
3 . Remove this item as a referral to the 1992 Internal Operations
Committee and instead refer this subject matter to the 1993
Internal Operations Committee for continuing oversight.

BACKGROUND:
Over the past year, our Committee has been following the activities
of the Career Development Employment Program closely and has
reported regularly to the Board of Supervisors on the actions which
have taken place. This is the most recent report on this subject.
As is outlined in the attached report from the Director of
Personnel, activity in the Career Development Employment Program
has slowed substantially due to the layoffs which have occurred in
the County over the past several months . As long as there are
layoff lists, those employees must be given priority in filling
permanent positions and thus it will not be possible to transition
as many Career Development Employment Program participants into
permanent positions as has been the case in the past. Recruitment
of new applicants has essentially stopped. There are about 65 to
70 individuals who have been tested and screened and are on
eligible lists currently if Career Development Employment Program
positions were to become available. In addition, there are Career
Development Employment Program participants in a number of County
departments who are or will soon be eligible for permanent
positions, providing such positions become available. Finally,
there are Career Development Employment Program participants who
have been laid off from their permanent positions and have priority
for those positions when it is possible to again hire employees .
As a result, the prospects for hiring and successfully placing
additional Career Development Employment Program participants at
this time in the County service do not look promising. This is why
we have suggested contacting private employers who may be hiring as
well as other public employers who have not been hit as badly as
has the County in terms of budget problems .
We would like the 1993 Internal Operations Committee to continue to
provide oversight to this subject in the future.
