Exploring High-Quality Strategies for WIOA Youth Programs-Part 1

This event is for Workforce Investment Board Directors and their youth program directors/managers.

Join peers in the first session of a two-part series designed to explore high-quality strategies to connect young people to education and careers. The purpose of the series is to share best practices and to identify opportunities for growth in line with core WIOA youth program elements.  At the first session, attendees will have the chance to brainstorm solutions to common challenges and explore tools and resources that are a fit for your region’s programming. We will also provide an overview of Signal Success curriculum offerings that can help align multiple program elements and support a range of implementation models. WIB Directors and their youth program directors/managers click here to register.
