In preparation for the reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), this policy update presents key aspects of the statutory language of Title I of the WIA and describes its potential implications for youth with disabilities as they prepare for the transition to employment and adult life as described in Sections 126-129 of Chapter 4--Youth Activities. The purpose of the WIA is to establish a new comprehensive workforce investment system that is customer focused, allows individuals to manage their careers, and helps employers locate competent employees. For youth with disabilities, WIA includes individualized service and access to integrated education opportunities as key complements, similar to those found in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). A chart illustrates the interrelationship of the transition service requirements of Title I of WIA and IDEA. Information is also provided on key services each local youth program must include: tutoring, study skills training, instruction leading to completion of secondary school, alternative secondary school services, summer employment, work experiences, occupational skills training, leadership development, supportive services, mentoring, and counseling. The performance accountability system under the WIA is also explained, along with provisions addressing the Job Corps, Youth Opportunity Grants, and nondiscrimination. (CR)
