Current Narrative:
The State will contract with each of the state’s 14 local workforce development boards to ensure that each youth program element described in WIOA section 129(c)(2) is administered in their defined area of the state. The Division of Workforce Development staff will evaluate, through each Local Workforce Plan whether the 14 program elements are available in the area and how they are offered.
DWD has a dedicated Youth Coordinator that works directly with the WDB Youth Coordinators and subcontractors to make sure they are knowledgeable of the regulations surrounding the Youth programs. DWD will monitor the WDB’s and their subcontractors on an annual basis to ensure the elements are available and that the methods for providing the elements are successful within the area. Technical assistance will be provided statewide to provide consistent understanding of what each element entails with follow-up as needed.
