Current Narrative:
Missouri will improve the outcomes for out-of-school youth by ensuring the 14 elements allowed under WIOA are met through a braiding of partner resources which will best meet each individuals need. The 14 program elements will be available to OSY participants, and will be funded with WIOA title I youth funds or leveraged partner resources. An agreement will be established with the partner to offer the program element and ensure that the activity is connected and coordinated with the WIOA youth program.
Each OSY participant will have an individual service strategy developed between the participant and the case manager(s) that will establish short and long-term goals for credential attainment and/or work-based training leading to unsubsidized employment.
Case management for the out-of-school youth will be coordinated by the programs working with the youth with a primary case manager being identified. Case management will be designed around processes to ensure a career pathway is developed for the youth using assessments to support the strategies. This pathway will include supports to ensure successful completion of services and future achievements; soft skill development; basic skills remediation and/or attainment of a high-school equivalency certificate; a transferable skill analysis; labor market information, work based-learning opportunities; skill and stackable credential attainment, etc.
