Alameda
County Workforce Investment Board - Employment Plus II Youth
Programs
On
August 7, 1998, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) was signed
into law, reforming federal job training programs and creating
a more customer-focused system. One of the key principles
of the Workforce Investment Act is improved youth programs
linked more closely to local employment market needs and to
community youth programs- the intent being to move from short-term
interventions to a systematic approach that offers youth a
broad ranges of services.
The
Alameda County Workforce Investment Board (ACWIB) -Employment
Plus II Program offers services to In-School and Out-of-School
Youth current and/or Emancipated Foster Youth (Out-of-School
youth are youth who are not currently attending school and
who have not received a High School Diploma/GED or have received
a diploma/GED and are unemployed or underemployed). Youth
programs are based on integrating academic and vocational
education, integrating work-based and classroom-based instruction,
creating connections with employers and private sector involvement.
Youth ages 16-21 will be assisted with Work Readiness and
Job Search Assistance, Work Experience/Internship Opportunities,
Counseling and Mentoring, Career Development Concepts, Adult
Mentors and Follow-up Services. Youth employment services
are delivered by local educational institutions and/or Community
Based Organizations (CBO’s) that are competitively awarded
a grant or contract by the local Workforce Board.
