-Expected outcomes for the 12-month project: 40 West Oakland residents with disabilities enrolled. At least 32 (80%) complete their training track. At least 60% of completers employed in competitive jobs or enrolled in advanced technical training within 6 months of completion. 90% of participants report the program helped them clarify career goals (benchmarked against our Digital Career Compass evaluation, where 95% of 38 respondents rated the assessment helpful and 89% reported new career-goal insights).+Expected outcomes for the 12-month project: 40 West Oakland residents with disabilities enrolled. At least 32 (80%) complete their training track. Within 6 months of completion, 60% of completers are employed in competitive jobs, enrolled in advanced technical training, or on active job search with us. 90% of participants report the program helped them clarify career goals (benchmarked against our Digital Career Compass evaluation, where 95% of 38 respondents rated the assessment helpful and 89% reported new career-goal insights).
  
 Measurement: enrollment and attendance records, training-track completion certificates, placement verification through participant and employer follow-up at 90 and 180 days post-completion, anonymous end-of-program surveys covering skill gains, career clarity, and satisfaction, and quarterly internal reviews against targets with corrective action as needed. A final report to the Rose Foundation will document enrollment, completion, placement, and survey results. Measurement: enrollment and attendance records, training-track completion certificates, placement verification through participant and employer follow-up at 90 and 180 days post-completion, anonymous end-of-program surveys covering skill gains, career clarity, and satisfaction, and quarterly internal reviews against targets with corrective action as needed.

 **Why Important / Project Benefit** //(4,000 chars)// **Why Important / Project Benefit** //(4,000 chars)//
-According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 24.5% of people with disabilities participate in the labor force, versus 68.1% of people without disabilities. In West Oakland, an economically disadvantaged community, residents with disabilities face these national disparities compounded by local barriers to transportation, training access, and employer networks. This project removes the transportation barrier entirely through remote delivery, pairs technical training with the professional coaching employers actually require, and connects graduates to real hiring pipelines. CTP's 50-year record proves that with the right support, people with disabilities enter and thrive in the workforce. This grant extends that proven model to West Oakland residents who need it most.+According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 24.5% of people with disabilities participate in the labor force, versus 68.1% of people without disabilities. In West Oakland, an economically disadvantaged and historically Black community, residents with disabilities face these national disparities compounded by local barriers to transportation, training access, and employer networks. For residents who are both disabled and people of color, these barriers stack, with racial inequities in hiring and economic opportunity layering on top of disability exclusion. This project removes the transportation barrier entirely through remote delivery, pairs technical training with the professional coaching employers actually require, and connects graduates to real hiring pipelines. CTP's 50-year record proves that with the right support, people with disabilities enter and thrive in the workforce. This grant extends that proven model to West Oakland residents who need it most.

 Our West Oakland recruitment partner is the Oakland Private Industry Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has administered workforce development programs on behalf of the City of Oakland since 1984. Oakland PIC operates the West Oakland Neighborhood Career Center at 1801 Adeline Street, serving West Oakland job seekers directly in the community. Oakland PIC will co-host program information sessions, refer participants from its West Oakland client base, and provide the community credibility that makes recruitment work. A signed letter of support from the Oakland Private Industry Council will accompany this application. CTP's Business Advisory Council, a network of Bay Area employers providing curriculum feedback, mock interviews, mentorship, and hiring pipelines, supports the job-search phase. Recent corporate supporters include Delta Dental, United Business Bank, and Blue Shield of California. CTP's own ties to the Port of Oakland run deep: technical instructor Jose Rivera interned at the Port as a CTP student years ago and has served on CTP's staff ever since. Our West Oakland recruitment partner is the Oakland Private Industry Council, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has administered workforce development programs on behalf of the City of Oakland since 1984.

Five of our seven staff members (71 percent) are CTP graduates with disabilities who have navigated the same barriers our participants face. Our Executive Director, Alex Tabony, is a CTP graduate (Class of 1999) who credits the program with his 27-year professional career. Our instructors are graduates of our own Computer Technician Training, Office Systems, and PRO programs. This lived experience is central to our model, not incidental to it. Participants learn from mentors who have been exactly where they are. Our Business and Finance Manager has served CTP for 39 years, providing deep institutional continuity. Our Director of Employment Services brings nonprofit leadership certification and direct employer-relationship experience that connects training to real hiring pipelines.
