e. 6. A. Collaboration

Describe any collaborative agreements the state workforce agency (SWA) has with other MSFW service providers including NFJP grantees and other service providers.  Describe how the SWA intends to build upon/increase collaboration with existing partners and in establishing new partners over the next four years (including any approximate timelines for establishing agreements or building upon existing agreements).

Current Narrative:

The EDD has substantial financial agreements with MSFW service providers including various contracts with La Cooperative Campesina de California. The agreements total more than $11,087,142 for National Dislocated Worker Grants awarded from January 24, 2018 to December 31, 2020.

The EDD has implemented ongoing efforts to strengthen its collaborative efforts with advocacy agencies including the Consulate General of Mexico, Sacramento.

The EDD continues to build these relationships and agreements and develop new relationships over the next four years by:

  • Continuing to work with our NFJP partners to strengthen and improve how we serve our immigrant and limited English proficient populations including increasing co-enrollment between both WIOA Title I and W-P by using the CalJOBS℠ case management system to track, manage, and report on MSFWs.
  • Providing additional WIOA discretionary resources to develop California’s capacity to serve MSFWs and other limited English proficient populations. For example, during state Program Year 2019-20, $1.2 million of WIOA discretionary funds for Regional Workforce Accelerator projects will be awarded to develop and test innovations that accelerate employment for these populations.
  • Participating in convening stakeholders that have specialized expertise in serving immigrants and/or persons with limited English language proficiency to identify and develop partnerships with immigrant rights organizations.
