The National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) has defined the workforce development system as organizations at the national, state, and local levels that have direct responsibility for planning and allocating resources (both public and private), providing administrative oversight, and operating programs to assist individuals and employers in obtaining education, training, job placement, and job recruitment. This NCWD/Youth brief is aimed at helping administrators and youth service practitioners who work with youth better understand how to navigate the workforce development system. It focuses on one piece of legislation that impacts youth, the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). By accessing the workforce development system, youth with disabilities and the professionals that assist them will have increased access to information, industry employers, and other resources. Youth with disabilities can use these resources to enhance the relevance of their education and increase their chances of professional success.
