Chair asks about referral sources and solicitation to expand
Won asks whether OCH has approved CBOs as referral sources and whether it plans a solicitation to expand the network. Harry says OCH has 28 CBOs and is continuing to work with agency partners to expand.
OCH's referral source director names two referral sources, SBS's Workforce One, Career Centers, and HRA's Business Link, along with several union referral systems.
Has OCH approved any community-based organizations or other, yeah, you shared the community-based organizations.
And other workforce providers as referral sources?
And does OCH plan to issue a solicitation to expand the network?
And if so,
When?
So we do, like I mentioned earlier and read through the list of the 28 CBOs, we do, because we are early on in the implementation, we're continuing to work with our agency partners to make sure that the CBOs, and like I said earlier, we're really
happy to work with the council to make sure that we are getting more CBOs plugged into this.
And so we look forward to continuing to expand opportunities for more CBOs to connect with community hiring.
And so we're happy to continue to collaborate on that.
