HRA’s foremost goal in its new set of services is to provide a flexible array of services that are holistic and clientfocused, with strong continuity and focus on supports to provide opportunities for clients to achieve independence and selfsufficiency. The forthcoming CareerBridge Request for Proposals (RFP) will seek up to twenty-seven (27) qualified service contractors to provide CareerBridge services, most of which will be contextualized in HRA-identified target sector clusters, for: adult basic education, high school equivalency preparation, bridge training, English as a Second Language, and vocational training. HRA intends to use a sector-based model to focus attention on the education and training needs of clients, as they result in long-term self-sufficiency. HRA intends to situate CareerBridge within the target sector clusters of healthcare and social assistance; technology; industrial/manufacturing; construction; retail/customer service and food service/accommodation; maintenance and security; and transportation/warehousing. The selected providers will be expected to provide Pre-training orientation, Curricula and Teaching Models, Education Mentorship, Tutoring, and Peer Engagement, Bridge Coordination, Apprenticeships/Internships, Job Placement, Retention, and Advancement.

CareerCompass
HRA seeks to update its entire set of workforce services to orient them toward increased opportunities for education and toward long-term self-sufficiency outcomes. With the new CareerCompass program, targeted toward clients ages 25 and older, HRA intends to build on past innovations to use comprehensive systems for assessment and career pathways service coordination within a sector-based, employer-approved model to focus attention on the career-readiness, educational access, workplace retention, advancement, and long-term selfsufficiency of clients. Clients who participate in CareerCompass will create a career path that details a timeline for each step’s completion. Each step on the career pathway should lead to a credential, certificate, or degree that is recognized by the industry. Job placement strategies within the career pathways framework should focus on developing opportunities within the sector that have room for advancement. CareerCompass provides assessment, service planning, client goal-setting, ongoing financial counseling, and ongoing supportive service coordination (particularly for client transitions to career milestones and navigation of systems to achieve career advancement) within this model, and it is anticipated that HRA will select up to nine (9) providers under the forthcoming Request for Proposals (RFP). HRA seeks proposals for comprehensive, strengths-based assessments and ongoing service coordination for client career paths, informed by labor market demand. Service coordination services are tailored to the needs of individuals and provide ongoing support for progress toward client’s overall goals. Selected providers will provide orientation and assessment, career pathways service coordination and support services, financial counseling, and coordination.

With the new CareerAdvance program, HRA intends to use a sector-based model to focus attention on the career-readiness, workplace retention, advancement, and long-term self-sufficiency of clients. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will seek up to seventeen (17) qualified service contractors to operate CareerAdvance programs throughout the City. Selected vendors will provider Pre-employment and job placement services, retention and advancement services, apprenticeships/internships, and financial counseling. HRA envisions a three-tier assessment process as a result of the re-engineering of systems and operations workflow. The first tier would consist of clients having the option to respond to questions at computer banks located within HRA Job Centers. The second tier, conducted by an HRA worker at Job Centers, would seek additional information to determine whether the clients need referral to other HRA programs, for example, domestic violence or medical and/or mental health, or substance use treatment services.
