The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth Program Fact Sheet (July 2020) outlines how under Title I of WIOA 2014, states receive formula funds that are then allocated to local workforce areas. These resources are utilized to offer a wide range of youth services, specifically targeting out-of-school youth and in-school youth facing employment barriers. The program's goals include preparing participants for post-secondary education and job opportunities, acquiring educational and skills training credentials, and ultimately securing employment with potential for career advancement.
