Reason for Recommended Action/Background

Regional Equity and Recovery Partnerships (RERP) represents an acceleration and deepening of the existing Regional Plan Implementation efforts and supports and invests in partnerships attempting to add High Road approaches to existing sector strategies and career pathway programs. “High Road” is a set of economic and workforce development strategies to achieve economic growth, economic equity, shared prosperity, and a clean environment. The strategies include, but are not limited to interventions that:
  • Improve job quality and job access, including for women and people from underserved and underrepresented populations.
  • Meet the skill and profitability needs of employers.
  • Meet the economic, social, and environmental needs of the community.
Building upon existing regional and industry planning efforts, successful RERP projects will identify quality jobs in the region and build pathways to those jobs in close partnership with community colleges, multiple employers, and other stakeholders in the target industries. Service strategies will include strategies that prepare individuals from disadvantaged communities and those most impacted by the economic shock of COVID to successfully enter and complete training and enter good quality jobs in target industry sectors. Service strategies include:
  • Regional organizing and coordination of partnerships between workforce boards, community colleges, employers, and the workforce system to build pathways to jobs in target industries described in the regional plans.
  • Short-term targeted education interventions to increase workforce preparation, including English language, basic adult education skills, digital literacy, or certifications leading to successful entry into or participation in training.
  • Opportunities for earn and learn training strategies, including apprenticeship, on-the-job training, paid internships, and/or work experience.
  • Attainment of Industry-valued credentials and certificates for jobs in targeted industry sectors.
  • Counseling and mentoring, supportive services, and/or income supports.
  • Job placement activities.

HHSA would like to enter into an agreement with Golden Sierra Job Training Agency (GSJTA), the fiscal agent of RERP funds, to launch career pathway programs in digital literacy, information technology and business/professional skills in partnership with Woodland Community College, Sacramento City College (W. Sac & Davis) and the County Office of Education.  These programs represent on-ramps to credit pathways that lead to industry-valued credentials such as Agriculture Business, Business Information Professional, Business Management, and more.
