Request for Proposals (RFP) 1225 WIOA Pre-apprenticeship Training

The Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) on behalf of the Workforce Development Board of Contra Costa County (WDBCCC) and our Executive Committee announces Request for Proposals (RFP) #1225. This RFP is to solicit competitive proposals for the delivery of Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I Adult career services to provide Pre-apprenticeship training programs and placement services, targeting individuals with barriers to employment in Contra Costa County. Successful Bidders will provide a broad range of practical job and life-skills to enhance participants’ essential employability skills and provide hands-on occupational skills that include the attainment of industry recognized certificates that lead to entry into a Registered Apprenticeship (RA), community college career training program, or high-quality employment leading to family-sustaining wages. WDBCCC is particularly interested in innovative approaches that leverage WIOA dollars to expand services and numbers of adults served, support Career Pathway approaches, and connect adults to education and training opportunities leading to careers in the board’s targeted industry sectors and other in-demand occupations.

Total funding is estimated at $300,000 for one (1) or more twelve (12) month contract(s) commencing on January 1, 2026. Potential contract renewals will be based on satisfactory performance, available funding, and the continued need for services.
