ANNUAL REPORT 2004-2005 Dear Friends,

The 2004-2005 program year was a year of signifi cant growth for SE Works. We became part of the City of Portland’s Economic Opportunities Initiative, began offering basic skills classes and GED preparation, focused more specifi cally on particular industries, pursued new areas of expertise, developed new partnerships, added staff, tapped into new customer bases by expanding partnerships, and we went international. In addition, we made signifi cant enhancements to our existing programs. The pages in this report illustrate how each of these achievements allow us to more fully realize the mission of SE Works.

As we pursued new ventures and improved our existing services, a common theme was a stronger emphasis on advanced training and long-term career development for job seekers. We did this by increasing the budget for participant training and supportive services, lengthening the amount of time we work with customers, and fi nding ways to better leverage partner resources. It was an exciting and invigorating year.

We are anticipating more growth and change in the coming program year. Major new initiatives include:

♦ Expanding our business services -- SE Works received a grant from the Paul G. Allen Foundation to fund our “social enterprise.” We will be offering customized recruitment and screening services to area employers. Revenue generated will be reinvested in SE Works’ programs. ♦ Community Learning Center -- This resource was so well received that it was at capacity almost immediately. Beginning with our annual auction, resource development efforts will be directed to increasing the educational resources available to residents. ♦ Re-entry services for Multnomah County -- SE Works will lead the implementation of a Department of Labor funded collaboration. Community partners will facilitate the successful transition for individuals returning to the community after a period of incarceration.

As always, we are extremely grateful for the on-going support from the SE Works community--staff, board, funders, partners, businesses and community members. Thanks to your commitment and dedication, SE Works continues to be a thriving and vital community resource.

Warm regards,

Heidi Soderberg Mitch Cogen Executive Director Board Chair

The mission of SE Works is to strengthen the economic health and well being of our diverse southeast Portland community by increasing access to employment, educational and Mitch Cogen, Chair of SE Works Board of Directors, and supportive services.

SE Works, “one stop” for workforce services for southeast Portland neighborhoods, attracts thousands of residents each year who are in search of jobs and training opportunities. In the Neighborhood Jobs Center, they have access to all the equipment and materials they need to conduct a professional job search. There are 27 computers with internet connections, printers, telephones and voice mail boxes, notebooks with current job listings, community college catalogs, and a resource library with books on writing resumes and cover letters. We even provide resume paper, envelopes and postage. Additionally, to ensure a successful job search residents participate in classes such as skills identifi cation, effective interviewing, and conducting internet-based job searches. The service job seekers appreciate most is on-site recruitments and interviews hosted by employers from around the region. Recent recruitments include: Kraft/Nabisco, Gunderson, and Ventura Foods.

Some individuals qualify for “intensive” services. These job seekers work one-on-one with a case manager to create a long-term career plan that builds on their interests, skills, and experience. A typical plan will include short- and long-term employment goals based on labor market demand. As training needs are identifi ed, the case manager will assist the person to fi nd a vocational school or college. In addition, depending on the individual’s budget, the case manager may offer initial fi nancial support for the program and/or temporary assistance for childcare, housing, or transportation. Generally, these resources are dedicated for people who are striving to fi nd reliable, living wage employment. Through these intensive services, we achieve an 85% job placement rate at an average starting wage of $11.71 per hour in positions that often lead to career advancement.

I’m encouraged by the support and direction from SE Works and the possibilities for the future look promising.”

Adult programs are supported primarily by Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and City of Portland Bureau of Housing and Community Development (BHCD) funds, through Worksystems, Inc., a long-time supporter and funder. Multnomah County and the PGE Foundation, also long-time supporters, provide funding that complimentsWIA. BHCD also provides Transition to Housing funds. 3 ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY INITIATIVES

Beginning in September 2004, the City of Portland Bureau of Housing and Community “BHCD has heard concerns from citizens that government often spreads its resources so thin that Development (BHCD) funded 31 Economic they don’t make a difference. BHCD designed the Opportunities Initiatives (EOI) across the region. Portland Economic Opportunity Initiative (EOI) to SE Works received funds to support several have a signifi cant impact on the lives of low income exciting new projects.

We believe that the current EOI represents the City of Portland’s commitment 31 projects will increase the incomes and assets of to effecting positive, sustainable change in about 2500 people by at least 25% over the next few residents’ lives. years.

In keeping with BHCD’s vision, SE Works’ Portland’s EOI is unique. Most cities have a few Economic Opportunities Initiatives provide of these small, deep programs. Portland’s EOI is actively investing in, nurturing and coordinating longer-term and more comprehensive support to the development of a wide range of these types smaller numbers of participants as compared to of programs targeting the diverse populations and other, more traditional, workforce programming. career interests of low income people.

Each is designed in response to an industry or Lynn Knox community need and offers a specialized mix of Economic Opportunity Program Manager services. Following is a highlight of three of the City of Portland programs (YEP is described on page 6). Bureau of Housing & Community Development

Manufacturing Training Program

Portland metro area manufacturing employers and regional workforce experts are concerned about the industry’s ability to recruit suffi cient numbers of qualifi ed workers. Employers in this region produce a diverse range of products including metals, glass, food, microelectronics, wood, and plastics. With a projected job growth of 5.4% and openings resulting from an aging workforce, the manufacturing industry is expected to offer great employment opportunities. Because of our participation on the Metals Action Consortium, long- term partnerships with manufacturers, and signifi cant staff expertise in the fi eld, SE Works is poised to respond to this concern.

To address the shortage of skilled workers, the Manufacturing Training Program is designed to attract, prepare, and connect job seekers with living wage, career-track jobs in manufacturing. Individuals are connected to training programs such as Portland Community College’s Machine Manufacturing Training Program and Mt. Hood Community College’s Welding Technology Program. Participants also receive fi nancial supports, pre- employment training, and job search coaching. Case managers provide individualized support for up to three years, assisting with the transition into employment and career advancement. At the end of the program year, all 16 individuals enrolled in the program were in training or employed.

Partners provide a comprehensive mix of services such as cognitive behavioral treatment, drug and alcohol or mental health counseling, mentoring, and support services. SE Works provides assistance in fi nding stable housing and employment, and offers fi nancial support during the transition period.

Partners include: Volunteers of America, Better People, Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare, Irvington Covenant Community Development Corporation, Metropolitan Family Service, Multnomah County Department of Community Justice, and State of Oregon Department of Corrections.

5 YOUTH PROGRAMS SE Works youth program has grown dramatically over the past few years. In the beginning, youth came because they heard we could “hook them up” with a job. More recently, youth come to fi nd assistance in returning to school, earning a GED, and fi nding employment beyond entry-level positions. Our youth program gives them a chance to fi nd appropriate academic alternatives, build life and leadership skills, and explore career options. Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs Last year, 103 youth participated in the WIA youth program which include: employment placement and retention, completion of high school diploma or GED, and enrollment in post-secondary education. We had great success assisting youth to achieve their desired goals. SE Works was among the top three performers for the Multnomah and Washington Counties region last year. This is a result of a compelling program and strong relationships between youth and staff. Youth participate in activities organized around education, employment and empowerment. Education - Youth without a high school diploma enroll in GED preparation or high school completion programs through our Community Learning Center, local community colleges, or alternative schools such as Portland YouthBuilders. They may also work with individual tutors to increase math, reading and writing skills.

Employment - Youth participate in SCORE, a 40-hour training in which they identify skills and interests, learn to write resumes and complete applications, and practice interviewing. They also explore career opportunities through site visits with local employers, job shadowing, work-related training programs and internships. Empowerment - Young people develop life and leadership skills through community service, independent living classes, and personal development activities. On the right, participants in the Young Women’s Empowerment Group celebrate the creation of a ‘Zine that documents their understanding and experience of “community.”

Youth Employment Partnership (YEP)

Last year 232 young people, ages 16-21, found entry-level jobs through this program. They participated in a series of workshops designed to introduce them to the world of work, what it means to be a good employee, and job search tips and techniques that will be useful throughout their lives. After youth are employed, job coaches work with them for up to 12 months to assist them in staying on the job and planning for career advancement.

Foundation for Russian American Economic Cooperation (FRAEC) SE Works was recently awarded a grant through the FRAEC, which is funded by USAID. We partnered with a youth development organization in Vladivostok, Russia that was creating an employment program. In April, four representatives from the organization visited SE Works and a host of other youth agencies in the city. They loved the SCORE curriculum (see “employment” above), translated it to Russian, and have shared our job readiness training with their network of 15 agencies across the region. In October 2005, two SE Works staff members visited Vladivostok to learn about our Russian partner and see how they’ve progressed. SE Works has gone international!

6 COMMUNITY LEARNING CENTER

In November 2004, SE Works established the Community Learning Center to provide youth and adults with GED preparation, basic skills classes, and English as a Second Language.

The need for the Community Learning Center became evident in the spring of 2004 during a recruitment we conducted for a local employer. The employer required applicants to take an eighth-grade level math test- -approximately 30% passed. Youth job seekers face similar challenges. Last year, nearly half of the young people reported they were basic skills defi cient and many had already dropped out of high school. In addition, approximately 18% of our customers speak English as a Second Language.

The Community Learning Center compliments our programming by offering small group instruction, as well as individual tutoring and a range of computer-based tutorial programs. With these vital resources on site, youth and adults are able to improve basic skills, achieve their educational goals, and increase their abilty to fi nd quality, living wage jobs.

Traci, age 17, explains, “I learn more in the Community Learning Center than in a ‘normal’ environment. I get more individual instruction and the setting feels more free. The Community Learning Center keeps me out of trouble. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. It makes me look forward to the things I want in life.”

Summer 2005- Youth GED Graduation After the fi rst six months of operation, Community Learning Center students made signifi cant progress toward their goals. Highlights include:

Of the 33 adults... • 6 found employment • 5 entered college classes • 2 increased English levels • 10 passed one (or more) GED tests

Of the 65 youth... • 7 graduated with a GED • 5 passed one (or more) GED tests • 32 passed practice GED tests • 5 pursued college classes

7 BUSINESS SERVICES

SE Works provides a diverse range of services to business, balancing the interests of both employers and job seekers. The goal of business services is to connect qualifi ed employees with quality jobs, improving the economic health of Portland. Here are some highlights that illustrate the extent of our investment in the business community:

Emerging Workforce - The Youth Employment Partnership provides employers access to the emerging workforce--area youth. Our program is a key recruitment source for dozens of employers searching for entry- level workers with a basic understanding of what it means to be a good employee.

Regional Economic Development - “Project Luna” was a recent economic development effort, led by Worksystems and the Portland Development Commission, to attract a major employer to the Portland Metro Area. SE Works recruited and screened employees for the company, which will be relocating to the region in 2006.

On the Job Training - On the job training, a new resource to local businesses, is a “win” for both employers and perspective employees. Job seekers in need of skills upgrades are hired into paid, entry-level positions and provided 499 hours of training by the employer. In return, SE Works pays part of the wage during the training.

Job Seeker Recruitment - In July 2004, SE Works began hosting the JDN Jobs Network. The network is comprised of approximately 300 members from 148 workforce and government organizations from six- counties across Oregon and southwest Washington. By posting positions on the listserv, employers can publicize their openings to over 20,000 job seekers of different ages, skills, and experiences. Last year, we posted 54,418 positions!

Industry Advancement - SE Works is an active member of the Metals Consortium, a group of industry and workforce professionals charged with increasing the pipeline of workers in manufacturing fi elds. They are especially interested in promoting these careers among young people. In June 2005 SE Works participated in the fi rst annual Expo and presented an entertaining PowerPoint introducing youth to a wide range of career opportunities in manufacturing.

Through these various strategies, SE Works provides a vital resource to large and small businesses by connecting them with qualifi ed job seekers. With staff expertise in areas such as manufacturing, microelectronics, human resources, and small business management, we contribute to the strength of area businesses. As a result of our strong relationships with employers, we’re able to fi nd creative and collaborative ways to connect job seekers with quality, living-wage jobs.

“We hired 22 employees from your referrals. The screening and referral system worked extremely well, and we would defi nitely use SE Works again if the need should arise. This was a huge timesaver for us as applicants did not arrive until they had been prescreened, completed an application, and scheduled for an interview.” - Joan Hornburg, Human Resources, Kraft Foods Portland Bakery 8 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
