of services that will culminate in successful student transition to employment, lifelong learning, and quality of life. The array of services is a full continuum consistent with state law. These components comprise an effective transition system for high school students through combined efforts of WAI staff, special education teachers, paraprofessionals, and outside agencies. The array of services guidelines provided by CDE include work-based, school-based, and community-based activities. An array of services is completed for each student served in the WAI program on an annual basis. A student in the WAI program must be provided curriculum integration of work readiness skills, career/vocational assessment, and a minimum of one connecting activity and one work-based learning service. The array of services link provides a basis for ensuring program consistency. • WIOA GenerationGo! The Out-of-School Youth – GenerationGo! Program implements three core phases: Phase 1 – Occupational Skills Training and Secondary Education; Phase 2 – Job Search; and Phase 3 – Job Retention, Education, and Resource Linkage. After the initial intake and completion of the Individual Service Strategy (ISS), participants will have an opportunity to select from an array of required workshops and electives, based on their needs. All content listed in the three phases will be offered as workshops using a variety of learning modalities; face-to-face; Google Platform; Google Hangouts; and Virtual Tours. Face-to-Face workshops will be offered to participants at least twice a year, and each participant will have an opportunity to access core workshops, regardless of their enrollment date. Based on the population of participants served by SELPA CTE team and the nature of services being provided to participants, staff provide both instrumental and psychosocial mentoring. The goal of this program is to produce youth who are ready to compete in the global economy and ready to participate as leaders who possess the skills necessary to gain and sustain employment. Adult mentoring takes place as naturally occurring phenomenon within their program, and staff members wear a myriad of hats while working with participants. The goal is to grow up youth as the next generation of mentors and leaders.
