BACKGROUND
On September 13, 2016, the City Council authorized the City of Santa Clarita (City) to enter into
contracts with the Antelope Valley Workforce Development Consortium (Consortium) and the
Santa Clarita Community College District to continue the operation of the America's Job Center
of California (AJCC) at College of the Canyons (COC) for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The AJCC is a
local employment resource for businesses and job seekers. The goal of the AJCC is to respond to
the workforce needs of local businesses by closing the skills gap and preparing candidates for
employment in high -growth industry sectors, ultimately placing them in employment.
The Consortium recently notified the City that funding is available for the Santa Clarita AJCC to
provide additional occupational and technical skills training to individuals receiving services
through the AJCC. Training funds support various types of programs, including established,
customized, and on-the-job training. The additional funding will help to maximize employment
and training opportunities for our residents, and will provide workforce development training
and education/tuition support to an estimated 20 additional individuals in Fiscal Year 2016-17.
