SECTION C STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

INTRODUCTION

This Statement of Work (SOW) sets forth the contract performance requirements for the operation and management with Outreach and Admissions and Career Transition Services of the New Haven Job Corps Center.

C.1 GENERAL

A. Background

Job Corps is a national residential training and employment program administered by the U.S.

Department of Labor to address the multiple barriers to employment faced by disadvantaged youth throughout the United States. Job Corps was originally established by the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964; current authorization for the program is Title I, Subtitle C, of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998.

Job Corps provides comprehensive career development services to students including academic, career technical, career success and independent living skills, career readiness training, and support services.

The unique combination of services provided in Job Corps is intended to prepare youth to obtain and hold gainful employment, pursue further education or training, or satisfy entrance requirements for careers in the Armed Forces.

B. Objective

The contractor shall provide material, services, and all necessary personnel to operate a Job Corps center (Center). The contractor shall provide enrolled youth, meeting Job Corps’ eligibility or admission requirements, with a comprehensive range of career development services leading to employment and long-term attachment to the workforce. The contractor shall:

1. Provide academic, career technical, career success, employability, and independent living skills training.

2. Provide basic health care, counseling, and other support services as required by the PRH.

3. Conduct program operations in a setting that is clean, well maintained, and safe.

6. Integrate center operations with the local workforce development systems, employers, the business community, and community-based organizations.

In addition, the Department reserves the right to pursue legal action or otherwise seek relief against any contractors exceeding 103% Contract Year average.
