Manager:
Consider a resolution approving American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Agreement No. 17174, between the City of Lubbock and YWCA of Lubbock, for job training services.
Item Summary
The City of Lubbock has allocated $3.5 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for the development of job training programs. Accordingly, the City has received a proposal from the YWCA of Lubbock to conduct classes to train students in a child care professional accelerator program. Students enrolled in the program will receive a minimum of 120 hours of instruction and 480 hours of work experience over a 15-18 week period. The program will include working with children, in order to qualify for a Child Development Assistant (CDA) certification, and job placement support services. As part of the program, background checks and fingerprinting will be completed by each participant, so that immediately upon graduation, the graduate will be ready to be hired and serve as a qualified and well-prepared early childhood professional.
The agreement proposes that the City fund up to $3,000 per student, per class, for an amount not to exceed $420,000, with the agreement expiring September 30, 2024. The funding would be applied toward program expenses, including staffing, trainers, and supplies.
Fiscal Impact
The agreement in the amount of $420,000 will be funded in Capital Improvement Project 8669.8302.10000, Job Training - ARPA.
