What is WIOA?

WIOA is a federal program focused on strengthening and improving the nation’s public workforce system. It aims to help individuals, including youth and those with barriers to employment, access high-quality education and training services that will lead to good jobs and career advancement. By partnering with WIOA youth program providers, Options For Youth Duarte ensures that our students benefit from a comprehensive approach to education that aligns with current workforce needs.

As a program requirement, students must:

  1. Complete workforce readiness content and skill development integrated into core course content. Students receive instruction designed to assist them in gaining employment and keeping it, and specifically in the workforce readiness components under WIOA.

  2. Complete workforce readiness classes/activities taught in collaboration with the Workforce Partner coach/instructor on workforce focus areas under WIOA, such as financial literacy, entrepreneurial skills, and workforce readiness. Students will be scheduled for this coursework by their teacher of record.
