So, You Say You Want a Revolution: Inspiring New Practices to Engage Youth

Avenue 34 – Studio 2 (Lower Lobby)

Description

Even if the Beatles are not your thing, you were once a young person trying to transition into the labor market! State workforce agencies are engaged in a range of tactics to leverage WIOA and related funding and partnerships to engage youth and support successful transitions. Stop in to learn where Texas, Illinois, South Dakota, and Maryland are heading, and why. Their efforts range from youth outreach strategies to youth outcomes measurement, with innovative workforce development and apprenticeship programming in between. There will be time to share your agency's vision and success stories, and to discuss a favorite topic -- WIOA waivers!
