Purpose and Request:
recommended action
Arapahoe/Douglas Works! would like to request approval to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, by and through the El Paso/Teller Counties Consortium Executive Board, and its Workforce Development Board, and the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County for the administration of the Pathway Home Program. Pathway Home is a pilot program to provide eligible, incarcerated individuals in state correctional facilities and county jails with workforce development services, prior to release, and continue services after release by transitioning them into reentry programs in their community. Moreover, services will ensure that participants are prepared to meet the needs of the labor market by gaining skills valued by employers.
On behalf of Arapahoe/Douglas Works!, it is recommended that the Chair of the Board of County Commissioners be authorized to execute a new Intergovernmental Agreement between the Pikes Peak Workforce Center, by and through the El Paso/Teller Counties Consortium Executive Board, and its Workforce Development Board, and the Board of County Commissioners of Arapahoe County for the administration of the Pathway Home Program. If authorized, this program's period of performance is through December 31, 2023
This request was presented to the Board of County Commissioners on January 19, 2021, and at which time, staff was directed to schedule the request for Consent Agenda.
