WIOA Title I Youth Program
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth Program provides formula funded grants to state and local communities to operate a comprehensive array of youth services that help eligible in-school and out-of-school youth (ages 14-24) seeking assistance in achieving academic and employment success. Program participants receive services such as occupational skills training, counseling, internships, job placements, mentoring, tutoring, leadership development, and support services. Local communities provide youth activities and services in partnership with the American Job Center network and under the direction of local Workforce Development Boards.
YouthBuild
YouthBuild is a community-based pre-apprenticeship program that provides job training and educational opportunities for at-risk youth ages 16-24 who have previously dropped out of high school. Youth learn vocational skills in construction, as well as in other in-demand industries, including health care, information technology, and hospitality. Youth also provide community service through the required construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing for low-income or homeless families in their own neighborhoods. Youth split their time between the vocational training work site and the classroom, where they earn their high school diploma or equivalency degree, learn to be community leaders, and prepare for employment and postsecondary training opportunities.
Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO)
Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) program provides funding, authorized as Research and Evaluation under Section 169 of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014, for justice-involved youth and young adults and adults who were formerly incarcerated.
REO grants develop strategies and partnerships that facilitate the implementation of successful programs at the state and local levels that will improve the workforce outcomes for this population. Grants provide comprehensive and coordinated services to justice-involved youth and formerly incarcerated adults in programs that incorporate education, employment, and training. The grant projects focus on pre and post release services, which include: case management, educational skills training, tutoring, mentoring, high school diploma equivalency preparation, credit retrieval, restorative justice opportunities, occupational skills training, work experience, summer jobs linked to academic and occupational learning, job placement, staff and leadership development activities, follow-up, and other supportive services.
