Workforce Investment Act

CLASP priorities for WIA youth programs are to ensure greater targeting of resources and more comprehensive services for out-of-school and high-risk youth and to strengthen the strategic role of youth councils. We also advocate to re-activate Youth Opportunity Grants or similar vehicles directed at high poverty communities to connect multiple systems, funding streams, and community resources to improve education and labor market outcomes for youth.
