Report
BACKGROUND
The NOVA Workforce Services Department (NOVA) currently contracts with Central Labor Council Partnership and JobTrain to provide services to adults and dislocated workers in San Mateo County under the federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA): Central Labor Council Partnership (CLCP) in San Mateo and Daly City for $964,589 and JobTrain in Menlo Park for $378,880. These providers were originally procured by the County of San Mateo in 2014. When NOVA assumed responsibility as the workforce development board for the County of San Mateo in July 2015, the decision was made to continue adult services through the existing providers and monitor their performance throughout program year 2015-16.

Staff recommends that Council approve the extension of these contracts and the award of additional funding to provide services through June 30, 2017.
