Path To Clean Slate — Partnership Proposal for CWDB

expungement

Workforce boards lose WIOA participants to background checks every day. California's AB 1076 helps, but thousands of WIOA-eligible Californians are still blocked from employment by clearable records. Path To Clean Slate is a fully automated platform that integrates with your Local Workforce Boards to clear records in parallel with workforce training — at no cost to your agency. ⚡ Hands-Free for Workforce Staff

The WIOA Outcome Gap

WIOA Title I performance metrics depend on entered employment, retained employment, and median earnings. A criminal record kills all three. AB 1076 helps slowly. PTCS clears records in 30-90 days — directly improving your reported WIOA outcomes and grant compliance scores.

Three Ways CWDB Can Engage

Option 01

Local Board Pilot

CWDB authorizes 1-3 Local Workforce Boards to refer participants to PTCS. Boards share custom URL once. PTCS handles the rest. Outcomes tracked, WIOA-formatted reports generated.

Option 02

Statewide Integration

PTCS provides platform infrastructure for ARC expungement events — handling volume, filing prep, and follow-through digitally so no one falls through the cracks after the event ends.

Option 03 — Recommended

Sacramento County Pilot

20 ARC Sacramento members. We run the entire process. Real outcome data in 60 days. Zero risk to ARC. Pilot MOU ready to sign today. Launch within 2 weeks of signature.

Why This Aligns With CWDB's Strategic Plan

→

Equity in workforce outcomes is CWDB's stated strategic priority. Removing record-based employment barriers directly serves that mission. PTCS is the operational tool that makes equity measurable.

→

Workforce development stalls without it. Your WIOA Title I investment in training and apprenticeship is undone every time a participant fails a background check. PTCS protects that investment by clearing records before they reach the employer.

→

Hands-free for your staff. One referral link. Automated follow-up. Live dashboard. Monthly reports. We designed this so CWDB and Local Boards get all the outcomes — and the WIOA reporting metrics — with zero administrative burden on workforce staff.
