| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
Under Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (“WIOA”) of 2014, Youth Formula funds are provided to the States by the Federal Government. In turn, States provide resources to local workforce areas, including Yolo County (“County”), to deliver a comprehensive array of youth services that focus on assisting out-of-school youth and in-school youth in overcoming one or more barriers to employment. This assistance is expected to help youth prepare for post-secondary education and employment opportunities, attain educational and/or skills credentials, and secure successful career and promotional opportunities in the long run.
The WIOA Youth Program funding helps Yolo County (“County”) to arrange services and activities that work towards improving educational attainment among youth, preparing youth for employment success, and providing supportive services to ensure youth in the County have the necessary education, skills, and training to compete in the local economy while matching employers’ need of skilled workers to compete in a globalized economy.
Staff hereby recommends approval of this Agreement (Attachment A) and adoption of the Board Resolution (Attachment B), which will allow the County to sustain services and activities that enhance skills and/or education among local youth to make them more employable in competitive job markets. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
