The County of Riverside is seeking proposals from qualified organizations to provide Subsidized Employment Placement Services. The goal of the program is to place CalWORKs Subsidized Program Participants in subsidized employment positions, which may lead to unsubsidized employment upon completion of the subsidized employment period. The program aims to serve a low-income, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural population in Riverside County. The contract requires the vendor to have at least 4 years of experience in assisting and supporting individuals with barriers to employment. The key objectives of the program include placing a minimum of 300 and up to a maximum of 400 Subsidized Program Participants in subsidized employment positions.
• The program will serve a geographically large county with a diverse population.
• The vendor will be required to provide services to qualified CalWORKs participants residing in all areas of Riverside County.
• The program will consider special population CalWORKs participants, including limited or non-English speaking, physically disabled, learning disabled, developmentally delayed, mentally ill, ex-felons, parolees, and veterans.
• Access to all services must be provided for participants with disabilities.
