Item No. 8-j
SUBJECT: Approval of Contracts with Capital Area Workforce Development (CAWD) for
Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) Program Services
DEPARTMENT: Social Services
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:

Youth Services Contract
PURPOSE: To approve a contract with the Capital Area Workforce Development (CAWD)for the
implementation of Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) employment and training
program services for youth and adults in Orange County.
BACKGROUND: At the June 7, 2022 Board Business meeting, representatives from the NC
Department of Commerce provided a presentation regarding the realignment of regional
workforce development boards, options for Orange County for future alignment, and the approval
process for proposed realignments. At the June 21, 2022 Business meeting, the Board approved
a resolution and authorized staff to pursue realignment efforts with CAWD.
In March 2023, staff received an award letter indicating that Orange County Social Services (DSS)
is approved for Adult and Dislocated Worker funds in a first-year contract for the period July 1,
2023 through June 30, 2024. CAWD reserves the right to renew contracts on an annual basis for
up to three additional years (through June 30, 2027).
Typically, CAWD allows providers to contract for the provision of either adult or youth services.
However, as Orange County DSS has served as the provider for both programs since 2017, staff
received an award letter to continue implementation of these services as well. It was noted that:
"The Division of Workforce Solutions, WIOA State Administrator, and Wake County
Government Procurement Management are allowing CAWD to provide this award outside of
the RFP process to ensure continued services to Orange County youth until a new RFP is
released and a provider is selected thru a competitive process in December 2023."
Therefore, DSS is also approved to implement the WIOA youth program from July 1, 2023 through
June 30, 2024 as well.
2
Although the exact award amounts are contingent upon the final State allocations, the budgeted
amounts are based on this year's actuals (minus On-the-Job Training costs for Adult/Dislocated
Workers — which are administered separately by CAWD) and are as follows:
• Youth $184,353.79
• Adult $108,732.38
• Dislocated Worker $ 69,889.36
FINANCIAL IMPACT: These grant dollars for Adult & Dislocated Workers and Youth will allow
continuation of WIOA employment and training programs.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to
this item:
• ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary
for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their
dependents.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no Orange County Environmental Responsibility Goal
impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve and authorize
signature of the contracts, contingent upon final review and approval by the County Attorney.

This Contract is entered into as of the 1 st day of July 2023, by and between Wake County grant recipient for
Capital Area Workforce Development Consortium under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act,
hereinafter referred to as "Capital Area", and Orange County, hereinafter referred to as the "Service Provider".
Capital Area agrees to pay the Service Provider from Program Year 2023 Title I Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds granted by the North Carolina Division of Workforce Solutions for allowable
costs incurred by the Service Provider for One-Stop Operator and Adult/DW services in Wake, Johnston,
Chatham, Lee, and Orange Counties. The Service Provider agrees to make available and provide WIOA Career
and Training Services for adults and dislocated workers in accordance with the Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act, Public Law113-128, the Capital Area Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act Four-Year
Strategic Plan and the State Integrated Service Delivery Model Framework, all as have been or may be later
revised. This contract and payment of funds hereunder is subject to the availability of funds under the grant
specified above and to approval of the grant funds by the Wake County Board of Commissioners. In the event
that Capital Area does not receive Title I WIOA funds granted by the North Carolina Division of Workforce
Solutions for all or part of any program year, and/or in the event that the Wake County Board of Commissioners
does not approve grant funding for all or part of any program year; then and in that event, Capital Area may
terminate, or reduce the amount in, this Contract immediately without penalty or further obligation hereunder
by delivering notice in writing to the Service Provider, such notice effective immediately.
1. Time. The services of the Service Provider are to commence on or about July 1, 2023 and shall be
completed by June 30, 2024.
2. Services to be Performed. The Service Provider agrees to provide services as outlined below and as
detailed in the Statement of Work incorporated into this contract as Attachment A The delivery of on-going
NCWorks services including, but not limited to, oversight of day-to-day operations of the NCWorks Career
Centers in Wake, Johnston, Chatham, Lee, and Orange Counties, coordination of the function areas: Talent
Engagement, Talent Development and Talent Employment Solutions. The Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act authorizes career and training services for adults and dislocated workers. Funds provided
under this agreement shall be used to contribute to the provision of career and training services through the

delivery, providing access to services under a wide array of employment, training, and education
opportunities. The NCWorks System offers a wide range of services from self-service to limited staff
2

assistance to multiple workforce development programs to meet the needs of a variety of customers —job
seekers and local businesses. Employment and training services for individuals and employers shall be
universally accessible through the NCWorks System. Employment and training activities for Adult and
Dislocated Workers services described in WIOA Section 134 (c)(1) must be made available through the
Capital Area NCWorks Career Center System.
Individuals who have met the federal and local eligibility requirements for Career Services and who are
unable to obtain or retain employment through Career Services may be eligible for Training Services. The
Service Provider staff shall identify, based on assessment and evaluation, adults and dislocated workers who
are in need of specific occupational skills training, retraining, or skills upgrade and who possess the
requisite skills and abilities to successfully complete training. Selected skill training must be consistent with
Capital Area labor market"in demand" occupations. Individual Training Accounts (ITAs) shall be
authorized for eligible adults and dislocated workers to cover the costs of tuition, textbooks, fees and
supplies, or the amount of the above, not paid by other grants or financial resources. The Service Provider
shall coordinate funds for payment of training costs for a participant with NCWorks Career Center System
partners and other entities. If WIOA funds are used to pay training costs for a participant, and the participant

provider.
3. Management Information System and Accountability. Accountability is an essential aspect of the
administration of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. WIOA services and outcomes must be
tracked and state and federal reporting requirements must be met. The North Carolina Division of
Workforce Solutions has implemented an automated Management Information System through Geographic
Solutions called Virtual One—Stop (VOS) to provide for the storage and maintenance of data that is
necessary to comply with state and federal requirements. The Division of Workforce Solutions uses
information in this system to determine each Local Area's outcomes on the WIOA Primary Indicators of
Performance.
An individual participant record is created in VOS for each adult and dislocated worker served under
WIOA. The Service Provider shall use the VOS system to track all WIOA participants from initial contact
through intake/application, eligibility, certification, registration/enrollment into WIOA activities, case
management, exit from WIOA, and post-exit follow-up services. Information entered into VOS by the
Service Provider must be accurate, complete, and current in order to ensure that all customer outcomes are
recorded and counted towards the Primary Indicators of Performance. Delinquent keying, erroneous data,
incomplete activity data, and outcomes not properly recorded will affect the Service Provider's attainment
3
6
of adult and dislocated worker Primary Indicators of Performance. The Service Provider shall ensure that all
information/data in VOS is accurate, complete and current.
4. Certification of Eligibility and Participant Records. The Service Provider shall ensure that persons
registered/enrolled for WIOA Services under this agreement meet the eligibility requirements for WIOA
Title I funds. The Service Provider shall ensure that Career and Training services are provided only to
WIOA-eligible adults and dislocated workers. Required forms will be provided by Capital Area for use in
the application, eligibility verification and enrollment process. Training and technical assistance will be
provided by Capital Area on proper use of the VOS automated client intake, tracking, case management,
and reporting system for WIOA. The Service Provider will obtain required eligibility documentation and
other information or forms needed to set up and complete participant records, and will follow Capital Area
WIOA Participant Record Keeping policies and procedures in order to ensure compliance with WIOA data
validation requirements.
5. Service Provider Staff Training and Development. The Service Provider shall ensure that all WIOA-
funded staff and any other employees directly or indirectly involved in the delivery of WIOA services under
this contract shall have periodic access to training and professional development necessary to perform their
duties effectively. This applies to both regular and temporary WIOA employees, and to experienced, as well
as, newly hired staff. The Service Provider shall ensure that all new WIOA employees receive in-service
training, close supervision, and oversight needed in order to ensure the quality of their work with WIOA
customers, compliance with federal regulations, and adherence to Capital Area guidelines and policies. Such
training may include opportunities to attend classes or workshops provided locally and/or regionally by the
North Carolina NCWorks Training Center or the North Carolina Division of Workforce Solutions; state,
regional or national workforce development conferences; and training or technical assistance sessions
conducted by Capital Area staff.

FOR YOUTH SERVICES
UNDER TITLE I OF THE
WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND OPPORTUNITY ACT
This Contract is entered into as of the 1 st day of July 2023, by and between, Wake County, grant recipient for
the Capital Area Workforce Development Consortium under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
(WIOA) of 2014, hereinafter referred to as "Capital Area", and Orange County hereinafter referred to as the
"Service Provider".
Capital Area agrees to pay the Service Provider from Program Year 2023 Title I Workforce Innovation and
Opportunity Act(WIOA) funds granted by the North Carolina Division of Workforce Solutions for allowable
costs incurred by the Service Provider. The Service Provider agrees to make available and/or provide
comprehensive, year round services for both in-school and out-of-school youth in accordance with the
Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, Public Law 113-128 and the Capital Area Workforce Innovation
and Opportunity Act Four-Year Strategic Plan, all as have been or may be later revised. This contract and
payment of funds hereunder is subject to the availability of funds under the grant specified above. In the event
that Capital Area does not receive Title I WIOA funds granted by the North Carolina Division of Workforce
Solutions for all or part of any program year, and/or in the event that the Wake County Board of Commissioners
does not approve grant funding for all or part of any program year; then and in that event, Capital Area may
terminate, or reduce the amount of, this Contract immediately without penalty or further obligation hereunder
by delivering notice in writing to the Service Provider, such notice effective immediately.
1. Time and Performance. The services of the Service Provider are to commence on or about July 1, 2023
and shall be completed by June 30, 2024.
2. Services to be Performed. The Service Provider agrees to provide services as outlined below and as
detailed in the Statement of Work incorporated into this contract as Attachment A. WIOA integrates youth
development concepts with more traditional workforce development approaches. The Service Provider will
focus on enabling Wake and Orange County youth to develop the skills, knowledge and competencies
required for today's complex workplace and a broad array of life skills to enhance personal development
and growth. Capital Area's year-round youth services are designed around Five Components of Service:
• Education
• Career Pathways
• Leadership Development
• Career Experience
2
22
• Partnership
Funds provided under this agreement shall be used to implement a comprehensive youth service delivery
system, which includes the fourteen required WIOA youth program elements as described in Section
129(c)(2) of the law. The availability, through WIOA funds and collaboration with other resources, of the
fourteen (14) required elements must be assured by the Service Provider in order to assess each youth's
individual needs and to tailor services to identified needs. Services shall be provided to both in-school and
out-of-school youth. Not less than 75% of the WIOA funds must be spent on out-of-school youth. Not less
than 25% of WIOA funds must be spent on Work-Based Learning. All youth served shall be ages 14-24
and shall meet the WIOA youth eligibility requirements specified by Capital Area and WIOA Final
Regulations. As part of a year round strategy to improve youths' academic achievement and build
connections between work and education, the Service Provider shall partner with the public schools,
alternative schools, community colleges, and training providers to extend learning opportunities for both
in-school and out-of-school youth. In-school-youth who are assessed to be basic skills deficient shall have
at least one basic skill goal as part of their individual service strategy. Instruction options that vary from
one-on-one tutoring and computer-based remediation to work-based learning opportunities shall be
available to all youth. A variety of workforce development activities shall also be provided to help in-
school and out-of-school youth identify personal and vocational interests and to begin to work toward long-
term employment goals.
The Service Provider shall ensure that the following requirements are met for all youth who are served
under this agreement: eligibility determination, verification and certification, WIOA enrollment,
comprehensive assessment, individual service strategy (ISS), comprehensive case management,
information and referrals, appropriate WIOA service elements, including not less than 12 months of
follow-up services.
3. Management Information System and Accountability. Accountability is an essential aspect of the
administration of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. WIOA services and outcomes must be
tracked, and state and federal reporting requirements must be met. The North Carolina Division of
Workforce Solutions has developed an automated Management Information System through Geographic
Solutions called Virtual One-Stop (VOS) to provide for the storage and maintenance of data that is
necessary to comply with state and federal requirements. The Division of Workforce Solutions uses
information in this system to determine each Local Area's outcomes on the federal WIOA Primary
Indicators of Performance.
An individual participant record is created in VOS for each youth served under WIOA. The Service
Provider shall use the VOS system to track all WIOA participants from initial contact through
intake/application, eligibility, enrollment into WIOA activities, case management, exit from WIOA, and
3
23
post-exit follow-up services as appropriate. Information entered into VOS by the Service Provider must be
accurate, complete, and current in order to ensure that all customer outcomes are properly recorded and
counted towards WIOA Primary Indicators of Performance. Delinquent keying, erroneous data, incomplete
activity data, and outcomes not properly recorded will affect the Service Provider's attainment of youth
performance. The Service Provider shall ensure that all information/data in VOS is accurate, complete, and
current.
4. Certification of Eligibility and Participant Records. The Service Provider shall ensure that all youth
enrolled in WIOA Services under this agreement meet the eligibility requirements for WIOA Title I Youth
Services. The Service Provider shall ensure that WIOA-funded services are provided only to WIOA-eligible
youth. Training and technical assistance will be provided by Capital Area for implementation of the VOS
automated client intake, tracking, case management, and reporting system for WIOA. The Service Provider
will obtain required eligibility documentation and other information or forms needed to set up and complete
participant records and will follow Capital Area WIOA Participant Record Keeping policies and procedures
in order to ensure compliance with WIOA data validation requirements.
5. Service Provider Staff Training and Development. The Service Provider shall ensure that all WIOA-
funded staff and any other employees directly or indirectly involved in the delivery of WIOA services
under this contract shall have periodic access to training and professional development necessary to
perform their duties effectively. This applies to both regular and temporary WIOA employees and to
experienced, as well as newly hired, staff. The Service Provider shall ensure that all new WIOA employees
receive in-service training, close supervision, and oversight needed in order to ensure the quality of their
work with WIOA customers, compliance with federal regulations, and adherence to Capital Area guidelines
and policies. Such training may include opportunities to attend classes or workshops provided locally
and/or regionally by the North Carolina NCWorks Training Center or the North Carolina Division of
Workforce Solutions; state, regional or national workforce development conferences; and training or
technical assistance sessions conducted by Capital Area staff.
Capital Area shall conduct WIOA training sessions throughout the year for Service Providers. Attendance
at Capital Area training sessions is expected by all Service Provider staff unless otherwise indicated. The
Service Provider shall be responsible for ensuring that staff who are unable to attend a Capital Area training
session receive copies of all information and materials distributed at the session and are thoroughly
informed of, and/or trained on, the topics covered by Capital Area during each session.

for customers and to ensure accountability to Capital Area for contract compliance and achievement of
WIOA Primary Indicators of Performance and Capital Area Performance Measures. During the contract
term, Capital Area shall use various means to communicate with Service Provider staff for the purposes of
information exchange, transmitting new and/or revised procedures, policies, guidelines, etc., and for
purposes of requesting programmatic and fiscal information, data, reports, and/or corrective actions as

written letter or memorandum, if and when, Capital Area staff efforts to communicate by generally
accepted business methods, including, but not limited to, in-person conversations, telephone conversations,
e-mail, and scheduled meetings with the Service Provider staff, do not result in a satisfactory or acceptable
response from the Service Provider. A copy of the written notice of the Service Provider's "Failure to
Respond"will be placed in the Service Provider's contract file maintained by Capital Area.
8. Compensation. Capital Area will pay the Service Provider from Title I Workforce Innovation and
