Current Narrative:
The State will conduct annual monitoring as outlined in State’s most current monitoring guide. The State will explore establishing a monitoring taskforce, composed of representatives from partnering TN State Agencies, to assist with remote and onsite monitoring specifically for the Title I youth program. Utilizing the WIOA Youth Supplement Core Monitoring Guide and other tools deemed applicable, staff will evaluate the local areas implementation of the program to include processes that inform and make available all 14 program elements.
TDLWD understands that WIOA cannot be the only solution in ensuring seamless industry alignment and opportunities for all Tennesseans. TDLWD will explore opportunities to deepen our partnership and service delivery through other agencies such as; Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Department of Children Services, and Department of Education by executing interagency agreements and memorandum of understandings to leverage/support existing programs for specific underserved populations.
TLDWD will explore diverse service delivery models, especially for our Youth population by replicating proven models through partner programs such as the Intermediary Model being used within Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment &Training (SNAP E&T).
