During Program Year 2015, the professional and caringteam of California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc.remained committed to creating positive change

throughout our Native communities through the delivery ofquality programs and services benefiting many individuals,families and communities.

Our Workforce Development (WD) Program experi-enced our first year of transition to the Workforce Innova-tion and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and we continued toenhance social media for the participants, employers andfield offices. We implemented the Workin’ Skills intoCareers, a traditional soft skills training initiative throughoutour WD service area. Our MIS staff remained diligent inupdating our procedures and evaluating the new WIOAperformance indicators and outcomes. Our MIS Specialistwas extensively involved onbehalf of the Indian and NativeAmerican (INA) Program granteecommunity through the provisionof technical assistance on ourBear Tracks reporting system aswell as testing and valuable inputon this system. We graduated oursixteenth Leadership Training forEntrepreneurial/Small Business/Economic Developmentclass. We offered the rewarding opportunity of culturallyrelevant Caregiver Training for individuals caring for Eldersand expanded Medicare information for our Elders throughnumerous training opportunities. In May, we were elated tohave been awarded a Career Pathways for Youth initiativegrant to address needed services for our youth.

We were pleased that most of our comments submittedon the proposed language in the regulations for WIOA werereflected in the final rules and regulations. A special thankyou to the Members and individuals who submitted support-ive comments. Our involvement is critical to maintain theintegrity of the Indian provisions of the WIOA legislation aswe continue the dialogue on the performance indicators forour INA programs.

Our California Indian Manpower Consortium, Inc. staffcontinue to strive to meet the respective objectives for allthe programs of CIMC. As in the past, our accomplishmentsduring Program Year 2015 reflect the dedicated work of allthe CIMC staff, the guidance and untiring efforts providedby our CIMC Board of Directors and continued support ofthe CIMC Membership.

As in the past few years, Program Year 2015 demandedenormous time, energy and effort to provide a high volume

of ongoing case management for the Workforce Develop-ment Programs. WIOA will significantly increase casemanagement activity in Program Year 2016. We wereheavily engaged in the negotiation on a number of Memo-randums of Understanding with the Local WorkforceDevelopment Boards throughout California. We need to beinvolved in the partnerships for WIOA collaboration at thelocal, state, and federal levels. Work in the Chicago BasedOperations service area is a priority for Program Year 2016.We will focus on the varying economies and labor marketsas we develop strategies for our Indian and Native Americancommunities in our work with the America’s Job Centers.

During this past year, the work on behalf of ourcommunities was well worth the effort, in particular ourinvolvement with the National Congress of American Indians

Partnership for Tribal Governancein the WIOA performance indica-tors, elevating a presence withinthe Labor structure, fundingstrategies and strengthening ourworkforce development.

We continue to emphasizework to enhance basic skillseducation, job readiness, orienta-

tion to the World of Work and soft skills training for manyof our customers, rebuilding their self-confidence towardsrealizing their career paths and providing support for thosethat enter the job market.

We continue to tabulate data and provide reports inresponse to requests for Census and American CommunitySurvey data through our Census Information Center. We arefollowing the 2020 Census as it is on the horizon. We arepleased to host a Census Tribal Consultation session to ourMembership.

Our Chicago Based Operations staff remain involved inthe capacity building and leadership effort for the greaterChicago Indian community.

This ensures thatcurrent skill needs of local businesses are communicated torelevant training programs.

These WDBs are part of the Public Workforce System, anetwork of federal, state, and local offices that support economicexpansion and develop the talent of the nation’s workforce.

State and local WDBs serve as connectors between the U.S.Department of Labor and the local American Job Centers thatdeliver services to workers and employers. The WDBs’ role is todevelop regional strategic plans and set funding priorities for theirarea.

PARTICIPATING TRIBESProgram Year 2015 saw the contin-ued operation of the CIMC ChildCare and Development Block Grant

(CCDBG) Program, funded by the U.S.Department of Health and Human Ser-vices. CCDBG Program staff continuedto assist eligible parents with their childcare needs.

During PY15, 72 chil-dren from 44 families re-ceived services. Applicationswere taken on an on-goingbasis; child care certificateswere issued until all availablefunds were obligated for theprogram year.

During this report period,the CCDBG Program staffput together backpacks that were filledwith age appropriate school supplies.

During Program Year 2015, the CIMC Community Services BlockGrant (CSBG) Program services were available to eligible low-income Native American families that resided off-reservation/off-

rancheria in 30 California counties. The provision of CSBG services (incollaboration with various other agencies) support the program’s visionof promoting the self-sufficiency of Native American households.

Services provided included: (1) housing -- emergency relocation oreviction prevention; (2) utilities -- deposit for new service, disconnec-tion prevention, or service restoration; (3) other utilities -- wood orother heating fuel; and (4) nutrition. Also, there were limited support-ive services available (related to employment or education), whichwere directly related to the applicant’s vocational pursuits.

An emerging pattern has been identified, that of an increasingnumber of repeat households seeking assistance. CSBG staffregistered to participate in a budget management education trainingof trainers activity, which will provide useful tools that can be sharedwith clients.

The CIMC CSBG Program was funded through a subcontract withNorthern California Indian Development Council, Inc.

Each child participating in the CIMCCCDBG Program received an ageappropriate backpack that was filledwith enough school supplies to lastthroughout the entire school year.

As during the past several years,the CCDBG Program received a

donation of toys fromWalking Shield, Inc.CCDBG Program staffand volunteers sorted eachgift by age and gender andthen wrapped each one fordistribution. The giftswere given to the childrenwho participate in theCIMC CCDBG Programand were also shared with

some of the tribal children locatedthroughout California.

The CIMC Elders Program operated during ProgramYear 2015 with funding from the U.S. Department ofHealth and Human Services, Administration for Com-

munity Living/Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA). Theprogram is funded under Title VI of the Older AmericansAct.

The primary purpose of the program is to ensure thatthe nutritional needs of participating elders are being met.During PY15, noon meals were prepared and served at sitesthat have kitchen and seating facilities to accommodate theserving of meals to Indian elders, their spouses, and pro-gram volunteers. Elders who are homebound and unable tocome to the congregate meal site were able to receivehome-delivered meals. Elders at sites where meals are notprepared and served on-site received delivered hot mealsfrom other nutrition programs, frozen meals, or shelf stablemeals.

Throughout the program year, Elders Program staffworked with all participating tribes andprovided oversight of the program op-eration at each site, provided menuplans, monitored food purchases, pro-cessed payments, and made efforts toensure that the program meets its overallgoals.
