WIOA, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) of 2014 enacted a comprehensive youth employment program for serving eligible youth, ages 14-24, who face barriers to education, training, and employment.
Funds for youth services are allocated to states and local areas based on a formula. The WIOA Youth Program focuses primarily on out-of-school youth and it includes 14 program elements that are required to be made available to youth participants.
Alaska Works Partnership provides youth services in partnership with American Job Centers and under the direction of local Workforce Development Boards.
