Appendix C-2 – Proposed Program

3. Demand DrivenCriterion:The Proponent should have knowledge and understanding of the local labour market needs and how these needs relate to the program the Proponent is proposing. For example, if a Proponent proposes training for heavy equipment operators, the supporting documents need to demonstrate that heavy equipment operator jobs are available. If a Proponent is proposing general training, such as job readiness, the Proposal needs to demonstrate there are jobs available in the Communities/Aboriginal Communities that the program is being proposed for.Proposal Requirements:Proponents are to demonstrate there is a need for the proposed program, and describe how the program is tailored to meet demonstrated labour market needs within a Development Region, Community or Aboriginal Community, verified by local labour market information and employer support. Proponents can use the LMI provided in Appendix E, Development Region Labour Market Indicators and Top Occupations by Development Region, of the CFP to set the context for the need for the proposed program. Also, Proponents are required to provide relevant, detailed local Labour Market Information (LMI) and other information that supports the need for the services and training being proposed.

Proponents should provide supplemental information, such as Letters of Support from local employers that identify specific, current or upcoming job openings that could be filled as a result of the training, as an appendix to this Proposal Form.

Note 1: Proponents are advised to review Addendum 3 question 52 when preparing a response to this question.

4. Not DuplicativeCriterion:The proposed program should address unmet need(s) or gap(s) in existing programming.Proposal Requirements:Proponents should:

a) identify the gap in services your proposal in aiming to address

b) provide information on related services and training already available in the region and/or Community/Aboriginal Community;

c) identify how the proposed programming will supplement (not duplicate) what is currently available. If the service is already available in the region/Community/Aboriginal Community, state how the proposed program is different or how it will complement or leverage the existing programming. If the proposed service is not available in the region/Community/Aboriginal Community, demonstrate how the program fills an unmet need or the labour market gap; and

d) identify how you propose to work and or coordinate with other service providers that may be


offering similar or related services (identify the steps you have taken prior to submitting your Proposal to build relationships and provide evidence of collaboration where applicable).

5. Aligned with Provincial PrioritiesCriterion: The proposed program should align with the priorities identified in the BC Jobs Plan, BC’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint: Re-Engineering Education and Training (BC Blueprint) , the Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education and Training Policy Framework and Action Plan, The British Columbia 2022 Labour Market Outlook and/or BC’s Top Occupations. Priorities include (but are not limited to):

increasing the labour market participation of people across the province, notably Aboriginal people, Youth, Persons with Disabilities and other under-represented groups;

enhancing access to skills and apprenticeship training throughout the province; targeting skills training to high demand occupations; supporting workplace-based Essential Skills development to support employment; Community-based skills training for Aboriginal people.

Proposal Requirements:

Describe how the proposed program aligns and is connected with British Columbia’s Priorities (the BC Jobs Plan, the Blueprint, the Aboriginal Post-Secondary Education and Training Policy Framework and Action Plan, and BC’s Top Occupations) and the objectives of the Core Service Area.

Specifically state how and why your proposal aligns with a specific priority(s), and which one(s).

If your proposal supports one or more of the Top Occupations, specifically state which one(s).

6. Relevant to skills development and employmentCriterion:The proposed program should be directly connected to developing skills for and obtaining employment and to achieving the outcomes identified in section 1.4.4 of the CFP.

Overall, the ESS Program is intended to lead to increased labour market attachment for Participants. Increased labour market attachment is defined as securing and maintaining employment. The Program will measure outcomes along a continuum of not participating in the labour force to full-time employment. Therefore, outcomes are expected as follows:

For those not in the labour force – seeking employment, in further education and training that leads to

employment, or employed For those Unemployed – in further education and training that leads to employment Where Participants are employed and low-skilled – skills developed that are needed for labour market

attachment, and better prepared to find and maintain employment or Sustainable Employment

Success of the ESS Program will be evaluated based on achievement of these outcomes.

The following will also be considered:a) the completeness and clarity of the proposed program description;b) relevance of the proposed services and training to the Core Service Area;c) how the proposed program meets the expected outcomes of the ESS Program; andd) the Proponent’s ability to track and demonstrate results, over and above the standard reporting

requirements.

Appendix C-3 – Budget

8. Program Budget

Criterion:The evaluation committee will evaluate the reasonableness of the program budget based on the type and extent of training. Consideration will also be given to reasonableness of the budget as it relates to the stated labour market demand.

Note 1: The Ministry will evaluate reasonableness by:a. Alignment with training costs standards;

b. Comparison to costs of similar existing, previous programs and/or proposed programs, including per participant costs;

c. Staffing costs to deliver the program; and

d. Location and its effects on program costs.


Proponents are to provide their program budget using the Budget Template included with this CFP. Proponents are to complete all applicable fields. For budget line items where rationale is requested (e.g. support costs), to receive full consideration, Proponents must provide their rationale below.Proposal:Using the Budget Template (Appendix C3a, see accompanying file on BCBid), Proponents are to provide their proposed budget for the proposed program. The proposed budget must be broken down into fiscal years (April 1st to March 31st). Proponents are to note that no carry over funding from year to year will be permitted. As ESS Program funding is anticipated to remain consistent over the next three years, Participant targets and corresponding budgets are expected to be relatively consistent for multi-year projects.

To assist Proponents in preparing their proposed budget, the Province created the included “Budget Submissions Details and Requirements” document (Appendix C3b, see accompanying file on BCBid).

State your rationale for all Support Costs requested. Support Costs may be requested for extenuating circumstances only. A rationale is required for each category of Support Costs you will be requesting. The rationale should include target Eligible Participants that are likely to receive the support, identify the specific barriers the Support Costs will address and identify how providing the Supports Costs will contribute to Participant success.

Assumptions – In evaluating this criterion, the evaluation committee will be assessing the assumptions made by the Proponent in determining their proposed program budget. State any assumptions made in determining the proposed program budget.


9. Leverages Other Funding Sources

Criterion:

The Proponent should leverage other funding sources, including in-kind resources, funding from the federal government, the private sector/industry, and other non-government sources.


To support your budget submission, please describe any additional sources of funding you will leverage to offset the delivery of your program (including in-kind resources).

Note 1: When identifying additional funding that can be leveraged, Proponents are reminded that they must continue abiding with all financial and reporting obligations under other contracts or arrangements, including other government funding arrangements. For example it would not be appropriate to donate staff time or rental space currently being paid for by other funders where the parties under those other contracts or arrangements have not agreed to make an In-Kind Contribution to contracts under this CFP. This section should identify how additional funding sources could be leveraged to gain financial or other efficiencies in your proposed program, which may include items like rent and staff resources providing there is no conflict with the terms of any existing contracts.
