BACKGROUND:
JobTrain has provided vocational training and educational programs to the San Mateo County incarcerated population for over a decade. Programs and services include but are not limited to the following: culinary arts; baking; hospitality; digital literacy; construction pre-apprenticeship; work readiness and success coaching; cognitive behavioral intervention for substance abuse; and reentry coordination. JobTrain continues to be an integral part of the County’s efforts to reduce recidivism for justice-involved individuals who are “in-custody”.
DISCUSSION:
In Spring 2021, the San Mateo County Manager’s Office and the Sheriff’s Office issued a joint Request for Proposals (RFP) for programs and services for the County’s justice-involved population. JobTrain was selected to provide in-custody programs and services for San Mateo County’s justice-involved population. The agreement reflects the second year of contracted services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The term of this agreement is from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023 for an amount not to exceed $481,230. There is no Net County Cost associated with this agreement, as it is funded entirely from AB109 Public Safety Realignment dollars.
