To prepare youth for the 21st century workforce, the Employment and Training Administration, Office of Workforce Investment, Division of Youth Services coordinates youth workforce development investments.
Shared Youth Vision
A Partnership between the U.S. Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Justice, and Labor; the U.S. Social Security Administration; and the Corporation for National and Community Service seeks to create a Collaborative Approach to Prepare Youth for Success in a Global, Demand-Driven Economy. The youth workforce investments are guided by an interagency Shared Youth Vision.
In September 2006, the YouthBuild Transition Act of 2005 was signed by the President, transferring administration of the YouthBuild program from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Department of Labor. For more information on the YouthBuild transfer and on the public meetings please click here.
In an effort to be more strategic and build our knowledge about alternative education, the connection point through which disconnected youth can become a valuable part of the workforce supply line in a demand-driven system, ETA is taking an in-depth look at alternative learning environments: what it is, who it serves, and how it can be strengthened.
