This is a management role, and it is the position the Department of Labor requires each grantee to staff at 100% full-time - the person ultimately responsible for making the program work.\nReporting directly to the Regional Administrator of Employment Services, the Program Manager guides the program from planning through follow-up, meets every performance target the grant sets, keeps the program in compliance with federal rules, manages the partners and subgrantees, and oversees day-to-day services. This includes directly supervising the Case Manager, who serves a caseload of up to 70 participants.\nAbove all, this role turns the grant’s goals into real results: safer communities, lower rates of return to prison, and young adults placed on genuine pathways to stable, well-paying careers. It is a role for a builder who can stand up a new program, hold partners and data to a high standard, and keep participants at the center of every decision\nKey Responsibilities:\nGrant Leadership & Implementation\n• Serve as Amity’s day-to-day leader for the AmityWorks grant, dedicating 100% of work time to the project as the funder requires.\n• Guide the program through all three phases of the 42-month grant: a three-to-six-month planning and start-up period, roughly two years of full implementation, and twelve months of participant follow-up.\n• Build and manage the program work plan, timelines, staffing, and milestones so that enrollment, services, and outcomes stay on track.\n• Make sure the program is delivered as approved - assessments, Individual Development Plans (each participant’s personalized roadmap), career coaching, training toward a credential, paid work experience, mentorship, supportive services, and follow-up.\n• Ensure each young adult’s needs are reassessed at enrollment and every six months, as the grant requires.\nPerformance, Data & Reporting:\n• Own the program’s results and put simple, reliable systems in place to track and meet every performance goal:\nEducation & employment - at least 75% of participants in school or working two quarters after they exit, and 70% four quarters after exit\n\nEarnings - median earnings of at least $5,000 in the second quarter after exit (tracking part-time versus full-time work)\n\nCredentials - at least 80% of participants earning an industry-recognized credential\n\nApprenticeships - at least 10% of participants enrolling in a Registered Apprenticeship\n\nRecidivism - a return-to-prison rate below California’s most recent state rate of 39.1%\n\n• Oversee accurate participant records, including WIOA co-enrollment and the secure collection and handling of personal information such as Social Security numbers, consistent with the grant’s data requirements and privacy safeguards.\n• Prepare and submit accurate quarterly financial and performance reports to the Department of Labor (federal report ETA-9173), and combine the data reported by subgrantees into those submissions.\n• Check data quality across the network and fix any problems before reporting deadlines.\nPartner, Subgrantee & Employer Management:\n• Coordinate and support the subgrantee network so every partner delivers services and reports data as agreed in their signed partnership agreements (MOUs/Letters of Commitment).\n• Maintain strong working relationships with the grant’s required partners: the California Division of Apprenticeship Standards, criminal justice partners (such as county probation and the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation), and state and local workforce development boards.\n• Recruit and support employer partners in the target industries, expanding apprenticeship, on-the-job training, pre-apprenticeship, and paid work-experience opportunities for participants.\n• Coordinate WIOA screening and co-enrollment with local workforce boards and American Job Centers and align training with what local employers are actually hiring for.\n• Make sure training leads to jobs that people with records are legally allowed to hold and be licensed for - so participants never train for a career their record would bar them from.\nDirect Service Oversight & Team Supervision:\n• Directly supervise the Case Manager who serves a caseload of up to 70 participants - providing coaching, workload support, performance management, and professional development.\n• Oversee the quality of the services participants receive: intake, assessment, personalized plans, career coaching, employability workshops, supportive services, and twelve months of follow-up.\n• Ensure services for young adults are age-appropriate, trauma-informed, and centered on each participant’s goals.\n• Help remove barriers to participant progress and build the referral network needed to keep young adults engaged and moving toward employment.\nFiscal & Compliance Oversight:\n• Work with the finance team to monitor the grant budget and ensure spending is necessary, reasonable, and compliant with federal grant rules (the OMB Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR 200) and the terms of the award.\n• Keep spending within the grant’s limits - no more than 15% of funds for supportive services (of which no more than 10% for direct needs-related payments) and no more than 5% for participant incentives.\n• Maintain the records, controls, and written policies (for supportive services, needs-related payments, and incentives) that will stand up to a federal audit.\n• Support the organization’s efforts to sustain effective practices after the grant ends and cooperate with any evaluation the Department of Labor conducts.\nSupervisory Responsibility:\nThe Program Manager directly supervises one Case Manager, who serves a caseload of up to 70 participants.
