CA Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grant (copy)

,

The goal of the California Opportunity Youth Apprenticeship (COYA) Grant is to develop and test innovative practices to increase the participation of opportunity youth in pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs and to demonstrate the impact of apprenticeship on employment and earnings outcomes for opportunity youth.

COYA was established in SB 191 for the purposes of awarding grant funds to eligible applicants to provide funding for existing apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs or to develop new apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship programs to serve opportunity youth and satisfy the goals and objectives of the grant program.

COYA awarded $31 million in grants through its first round, which was announced in July 2024 and has a performance period of 2024-2026, more details below. A second round of COYA Grants will be opening in Q1 2025.

Bakersfield College – Wildland Needs

,
Dear CFTDA Members,
I hope this message finds you well.
Bakersfield College is excited to announce the launch of our Wildland Fire Academy, scheduled to begin in Fall 2025. This academy will provide essential training for future wildland firefighters and support our region’s increasing need for skilled personnel to meet today’s wildfire challenges.
As we prepare for this important initiative, we are seeking guidance and feedback from experienced professionals and partner agencies. Specifically, we are in need of:
  • A wildland fire vehicle (Type 3 or Type 6) and a passenger van for student transport and field operations.
  • PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that meets NFPA 1977 standards for wildland firefighting.
  • Tools and equipment, including hand tools, hoses, and related gear for training and live exercises.
Your experience and insights would be invaluable to us as we build a strong foundation for this program. If you have recommendations, surplus equipment, or know of funding or partnership opportunities, we would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you in advance for any information or support you can provide as we work to train the next generation of wildland firefighters and strengthen community safety.
Warm regards,

Career Catalyst Job

,
Good morning all,
I hope this email finds all of you well and enjoying a bit of a summer break.
As some of you may know, I have been in contact with an organization called Career Catalyst, created by the Foundation of Ca Community Colleges. This organization acts as an employer of record for paid internships and apprenticeships, partnering with governmental agencies, municipalities, workforce boards and colleges, to name a few. Career Catalyst could assist us in turning volunteer positions into paid work experience.
I am working on the possibility of having them make a presentation on how they could assist with public safety students. They have asked if I can provide some job descriptions for the positions these interns, apprentices and pre-apprentices would hold within the public safety organizations. You are some of my best resources, and thought you might be able to assist in gathering an assortment of job descriptions for their review.
Thank you in advance for any you could provide.
Linda
