Service strategies prepare youth for employment and/or postsecondary education through strong linkages between academic and occupational learning. Funds are allocated to State and local areas on a formula distribution determined by the number of unemployed individuals in areas of substantial unemployment; the relative excess number of unemployed individuals in a State; and the relative number of disadvantaged youth in a State. Offerings include:  Assistance in achieving academic and employment success, training opportunities, mentoring opportunities, and support services.  Local communities provide youth activities and services in partnership with the WIA One Stop system and under the direction of local Workforce Investment Boards.
