Current Narrative:
The state continues to contract with each of the state’s 14 local WDBs to ensure that each youth program element described in WIOA section 129(c)(2) is administered in each area of the state. The Office of Workforce Development (OWD) staff evaluates through each Local Workforce Development Plan whether the 14 program elements are available in the area and how they are offered.
OWD has dedicated staff who work directly with the local WDBs to make sure staff are knowledgeable of the regulations surrounding the WIOA youth program. OWD will monitor the local WDBs and their subcontractors on an annual basis to ensure the elements are available and the methods for providing the elements are successful within the area. Technical assistance is provided statewide to guarantee understanding of each element and follow-up is available as needed.
