L 7 It is recommended that the City of Miami enter into a professional services contract with James E. Scott Community Association, Inc., (JESCA) for obtaining a .� training program in the area of Parks and Landscape Maintenance for the City of Miami's CETA/PSE participants as provided for in the City of Miami's contract with the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium. GJ Under the City of Miami's current contract with the South Florida Employment and Training Consortium a minimum percentage of the total allocation is required to be directed toward the provision of training for the City's CETA/PSE participants. Of the total $1,535,550 required for this training process, $974,000 was allocated for training institutions on January 22, 1981 (Resolution 81-56), leaving an uncommitted balance of $561,550. Of the 20 training institution programs included in the January 22, 1981, Resolution, 13 were directed to improving skills in the Clerical/Office, or Basic Education -Language areas, with four programs directed toward Trades related skills. The three remaining programs offered relate to specialized skills (i.e. nursing assistance, dental assistance, medical assistance). In an effort to increase the training opportunities for participants employed within the Parks Department (approximately 16`) of PSE participants) that would enhance their ability to gain unsubsidized employment, a Training Program for Parks and landscape maintenance was designed by Instructors from JESCA in concert with the Parks Depart- ment. This training program focuses on Time management, Job Maintenance Skills and Landscape Maintenance Procedures, with all training to be provided by JESCA in coordination with the management of the City's Department of Parks. In entertaining the JESCA Training Program for Parks and Landscape Maintenance, it was recognized that in addition to the need for a marketable skill, many CETA participants are in need of supportive services, such as credit counselling, domestic counselling, referal to other governmental services, etc. JESCA has, in addition to operating well - regarded CETA programs, enjoyed a history of successful supportive services. Thus the JESCA program will: 1) provide Park's Department CETA participants with the skills necessary to succeed in a Parks and/or Landscape maintenance industry; 2) provide participants with other necessary supportive social system services; and 3) provide the Parks Department with an improved quality of CETA employee. The JESCA program requires $36,073.00, and will run from March 30, 1981, to September 30, 1981.
