Policy

The SOT is provided by the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) and is available to Skills and Training to Achieve Readiness for Tomorrow (START) or CFET participants, who have completed the three-day SOA Orientation and are accepted to the SOT by LACOE staff.

LACOE informs START Program in advance of the next SOT activity date and location. START Program immediately notifies START line staff of the upcoming activity and requests they recruit interested START/CFET participants.

Definitions

Cell-Ed

Cell-Ed is a two-week activity that offers job preparation courses and meets the 20-hour per week START/CFET participation requirement. This online learning activity will assist START/CFET participants in learning essential job skills and give them an option to study at any time on any mobile or handheld device. Cell-Ed is an allowable CFET component since it is considered a supervised job search activity.
