Contract Monitoring, Santa Cruz County, CA
The Workforce Investment Act was passed in 1998.
This law was passed to “consolidate, coordinate, and
improve employment, training, literacy, and vocational rehabilitation
programs in the United States.” The Sueños Collaborative
provides WIA services to youth in Santa Cruz County. Dr. Irvine
was hired by the Santa Cruz County of Education, the Human
Resources Agency CareerWorks Division, and the City of Watsonville
to monitor subcontracts with Your Future is Our Business and
Barrios Unidos, two community-based organizations providing
services to the collaborative. Irma Waugh, a doctoral student
in the Social Psychology Department at University of California,
Santa Cruz worked with Dr. Irvine on the project. As part
of the contract monitoring process, Dr. Irvine and Ms. Waugh
collected information on accounting practices, partnership
relationships, and program implementation. This information
was analyzed and consolidated into a final report. We do not
provide public access to these reports, however, due to the
confidential nature of the content.
