HCHY List: workforce investment area grants

[Mel Tremper]

I came across this as part of a workforce investment area request for
proposals.  The focus of this federal program is most definitely job
readiness and employment improvement, but at least in some cases there
is potential for broader youth development.  

I am not sure how representative this state's approach is of the
approach other states take to this sort of project, but it might be
worthwhile for community based asset folks to look into workforce
investment projects in their communities.  

 

Proposal designs should reflect recognized youth development principles
that

emphasize the cognitive, social, and behavioral competencies that help
youth

succeed as adults. Effective proposers adopt an asset-based approach in

which services are personalized and focus on developing the individual

strengths and interests of each youth. In keeping with these principles,

proposers must also promote positive relationships among adult staff and

youth participants, and provide the support and follow-up services
needed to

address the range of individual challenges participants confront.
