County AB 109 Employment Pathway Pilot Program  
Attachments:  
Discussion was held.  
Public comment received.  
The Board received a presentation from the Contra Costa Workforce Development  
Board on the county’s AB 109 Pathway Pilot Program. Board members inquired  
about how participants are prepared for the program, how lived experiences are  
integrated, and whether trauma-informed and spiritual support components are  
included. They also requested data on vacancy trends, wage levels, and whether  
participants can remain in positions beyond the program timeline, potentially with  
county-subsidized wages to ensure a livable income. Additional questions focused  
on inter-agency collaboration, participant intake and selection processes,  
wraparound services, and how the program addresses barriers to employment.  
Presenters expressed their willingness to return to CAB with data on program  
outcomes, successes, and challenges.
