The Department of Labor awarded a $71,279,759 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth formula grant, with a performance period from April 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The purpose of this grant is to provide resources to local workforce areas in New York to deliver comprehensive employment, training, and supportive services to out-of-school and in-school youth aged 14-24 who face barriers to employment. Key services include tutoring, paid/unpaid work experiences, occupational skills training, leadership development, mentoring, and follow-up support. This funding is intended to help youth participants attain educational and/or skills credentials, secure employment, and advance in their careers.
Through sub-awards, the New York State Department of Labor is distributing funds to local workforce development boards, community colleges, and county governments to administer workforce services tailored to the needs of youth in their communities. Sub-awardees are providing eligible young adults with job search assistance, career counseling, skills assessments, occupational training, work experience, and supportive services to overcome barriers to employment and education.
