County workforce board reports strong WIOA outcomes and expansion of training and apprenticeship programs
Summary
The Alameda County Workforce Development Board reported meeting or exceeding state performance goals for WIOA programs, enrolling about 400 adults (50% entered employment) and 230 youth (nearly all received work‑based learning); staff highlighted apprenticeship launches and a maritime training partnership.
Rhonda Boykin, director of the Alameda County Workforce Development Board, and Carl Pasquale, management analyst, briefed supervisors on WIOA outcomes, employer engagement and training initiatives.
Boykin said the board achieved a high‑performing designation and that WIOA‑funded programs enrolled over 400 adults with roughly 50% entering employment; nearly 230 youth were enrolled and nearly all received work‑based learning. The board highlighted targeted partners (International Rescue Committee, La Familia, Ohlone College) and a subregional career‑center model. Through discretionary and partner funds, staff reported serving over 1,000 individuals in other workforce initiatives.
The presentation described apprenticeship development and a maritime High Road Training Partnership that enrolled 124 participants (88 completions, 84% credential rate) and aims to enroll 300 by the program end; staff also described reimbursement supports for employers (on‑the‑job training up to 50% of a hire’s wage) and business services to assist WARN notices.
