TITLE

Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to execute all documents and any needed subsequent amendments, with various Pacific Gateway Workforce Innovation Network service and product providers for training and employment services to residents, to increase the total amount by $1,900,000, for a revised total aggregate amount not to exceed $5,105,712, and to extend for one additional one-year period, with an option to renew for two additional one-year periods.  (Citywide)

 

DISCUSSION

Pacific Gateway Workforce Innovation Network (Pacific Gateway) administers the Federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and other employment and training funds received annually by the City. Those funds support job training programs and business services delivered by the Workplace, Harbor Gateway WorkSource Center, Harbor YouthSource Center, FutureLB, and selected community-based organizations to assist residents to acquire skills leading to employment in high-demand occupations with local employers.

 

Pacific Gateway utilizes labor market information, industry feedback, and changes in the industry to monitor hiring needs. Such practices ensure that local skill training design and investments are in industries with growth and demand leading to employment for residents. For training programs not associated with Pacific Gateway initiatives connected with local colleges and universities, customers are required by the WIOA to select training providers procured and/or approved through the State’s Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL).

 

Vendors under the ETPL are exempt from other local procurements, as are employers participating in On-the-Job Training (OJT), and Customized Training (CT) programs, as mandated by WIOA. Pacific Gateway initiates an agreement and Munis Contract to accommodate the cost of training once a customer makes a selection from the vendor ETPL, or when an employer initiates an OJT or CT program.  If the Munis Contract is anticipated to exceed $100,000, Pacific Gateway obtains City Council approval to initiate an increase and, as applicable, enter in to a formal contract.

 

Pacific Gateway will continue to partner with the following training and service providers outlined below, based on customer demand. Pacific Gateway requests contract increases and renewals for the coming months for existing vendors with current agreements with the City.
