achieving the job training and workforce development goals,
identify problems and barriers to achieve goals, and provide
solutions to improve the program performance.
Senate Amendments of 8/27/13 change the California Workforce
Development Board to the California Workforce Investment Board.
ANALYSIS : The California Clean Energy Jobs Act, an initiative
approved by the voters at the November 6, 2012, statewide
general election as Proposition 39, made changes to corporate
income taxes and, except as specified, provides for the transfer
of $550,000,000 annually from the General Fund to the Clean
Energy Job Creation Fund for five fiscal years beginning with
the 2013-14 fiscal year. Monies in the Clean Energy Job
Creation Fund are available, upon appropriation by the
Legislature, for purposes of funding eligible projects that
create jobs in California, improving energy efficiency and
expanding clean energy generation. Existing law, among other
things, provides for allocation of available funds to job
training and workforce development.
Existing law appropriates $3,000,000 from the fund to the CWIB
to develop and implement a competitive grant program for
eligible community-based and other training workforce
organizations preparing disadvantaged youth or veterans for
employment.
This bill:
1. Requires the CEJWDP grant recipients to report to the CWIB
specified information including the number of individuals
trained, their demographic and geographic profile, number of
training completions, and number of job placements.
2. After one year, requires the CWIB to review and assess
whether the competitive grant program is achieving the job
training and workforce development goals, identify problems
and barriers to achieve goals, and provide solutions to
improve the program performance.

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT : According to the author's office,
Proposition 39 allocates millions of dollars to the Clean Energy
Job Creation Fund to improve school's energy efficiency and
consumption through better insulation, lighting, heating, air
conditioning and ventilation systems; and includes a component
for job training and workforce development to meet the needs of
those construction projects. There are California cities with
unemployment rates as high as 32%. More alarming, California's
veteran's unemployment rate peaked at 43.9% as of October 2012.
Funds for job training and workforce development will help
veterans and disadvantaged youth receive training to ensure
career placement within California's renewable energy and energy
efficiency sectors.
