The North Country Workforce Investment Board oversees programs that help at-risk youth, ages 14 to 21, plan, and achieve their educational goals and secure employment.
- Educational Services,
- Work Readiness Training,
- Work Preparation and
- Work-Based Opportunities, Youth Development Services.
Funding to support our programs comes from a variety of sources, including competitive grants, and public dollars. A primary funding source is the U.S.Department of Labor via the Workforce Investment Act (WIA), the nation’s principal workforce development legislation, which provides funding for the training and employment of youth, adults, and dislocated workers.
The Youth Council is responsible for the planning and governance of WIA youth funds as a subcommittee of the local-area Workforce Investment Board (WIB). United behind a common vision, the Council’s mission is to build and support a regional youth workforce system and to manage state and federal workforce-development funds on behalf of vulnerable youth throughout the North Country.
