regarding the ``deficient in basic literacy skills'' criterion in

Sec. 664.200(c)(1) may be established at the State or local level.

These definitions may establish such criteria as are needed to address

State or local concerns, and must include a determination that an

individual:

(1) Computes or solves problems, reads, writes, or speaks English

at or below the 8th grade level on a generally accepted standardized

as the eligibility barriers for the five percent of youth participants

who do not have to meet income eligibility requirements?

No, the barriers listed in Secs. 664.200 and 664.220 are not the

or holds a GED, but is basic skills deficient, unemployed, or

underemployed. (WIA sec. 101(33).)

Sec. 664.310 When is dropout status determined, particularly for youth

attending alternative schools?

A school dropout is defined as an individual who is no longer

attending any school and who has not received a secondary school

diploma or its recognized equivalent. A youth's dropout status is

determined at the time of registration. A youth attending an

alternative school at the time of registration is not a dropout. An

individual who is out-of school at the time of registration and

subsequently placed in an alternative school, may be considered an out-

of-school youth for the purposes of the 30 percent expenditure

requirement for out-of-school youth. (WIA sec. 101(39).)

A local youth program is defined as those youth activities offered

by a Local Workforce Investment Board for a designated local workforce

investment area, as specified in 20 CFR part 661.

Sec. 664.405 How must local youth programs be designed?

(a) The design framework of local youth programs must:

meets the requirements of WIA section

129(c)(1)(A), and includes a review of the academic and occupational

skill levels, as well as the service needs, of each youth;

(2) Develop an individual service strategy for each youth

participant that meets the requirements of WIA section 129(c)(1)(B),

including identifying an age-appropriate career goal and consideration

of the assessment results for each youth; and

(3) Provide preparation for postsecondary educational

opportunities, provide linkages between academic and occupational

learning, provide preparation for employment, and provide effective

connections to intermediary organizations that provide strong links to

the job market and employers.

(4) The requirement in WIA section 123 that eligible providers of

youth services be selected by awarding a grant or contract on a

competitive basis does not apply to the design framework component,

such as services for intake, objective assessment and the development

of individual service strategy, when these services are provided by the

grant recipient/fiscal agent.

(b) The local plan must describe the design framework for youth

program design in the local area, and how the ten program elements

required in Sec. 664.410 are provided within that framework.

section 129(c)(3) for youth who meet the income eligibility criteria

are met, including:

(1) Providing these youth with information regarding the full array

of applicable or appropriate services available through the Local Board

or other eligible providers, or One-Stop partners; and

(2) Referring these youth to appropriate training and educational

programs that have the capacity to serve them either on a sequential or

concurrent basis.

(e) In order to meet the basic skills and training needs of

eligible applicants who do not meet the enrollment requirements of a

particular program or who cannot be served by the program, each

eligible youth provider must ensure that these youth are referred:

(1) For further assessment, as necessary, and

(2) To appropriate programs, in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of

this section.

(f) Local Boards must ensure that parents, youth participants, and

other members of the community with experience relating to youth

programs are involved in both the design and implementation of its

youth programs.

(g) The objective assessment required under paragraph (a)(1) of

this section or the individual service strategy required under

paragraph (a)(2) of this section is not required if the program

provider determines that it is appropriate to use a recent objective

assessment or individual service strategy that was developed under

another education or training program. (WIA section 129(c)(1).)

Sec. 664.410 Must local programs include each of the ten program

elements listed in WIA section 129(c)(2) as options available to youth

to the working world and its requirements. Work experiences are

appropriate and desirable activities for many youth throughout the

year. Work experiences should help youth acquire the personal

attributes, knowledge, and skills needed to obtain a job and advance in

employment. The purpose is to provide the youth participant with the

opportunities for career exploration and skill development and is not

to benefit the employer, although the employer may, in fact, benefit

from the activities performed by the youth. Work experiences may be

subsidized or unsubsidized and may include the following elements:

eligible youth when it is appropriate based on the needs identified by

the objective assessment of an individual youth participant. (WIA sec.

129(c)(2)(D).)

Sec. 664.470 Are paid work experiences allowable activities?

Funds under the Act may be used to pay wages and related benefits

for work experiences in the public; private, for-profit or non-profit

sectors where the objective assessment and individual service strategy

indicate that work experiences are appropriate. (WIA sec.

129(c)(2)(D).)

Subpart E--Concurrent Enrollment

Sec. 664.500 May youth participate in both youth and adult/dislocated

worker programs concurrently?

(a) Yes, under the Act, eligible youth are 14 through 21 years of

age. Adults are defined in the Act as individuals age 18 and older.

Thus, individuals ages 18 through 21 may be eligible for both adult and

youth programs. There is no specified age for the dislocated worker

program.

(b) Individuals who meet the respective eligibility requirements

may participate in adult and youth programs concurrently. Concurrent

enrollment is allowable for youth served in programs under WIA titles I

or II. Such individuals must be eligible under the youth or adult/

dislocated worker eligibility criteria applicable to the services

received. Local program operators may determine, for individuals in

this age group, the appropriate level and balance of services under the

youth, adult, dislocated worker, or other services.

participating in youth and adult/dislocated worker programs

concurrently, and ensure that services are not duplicated.

Sec. 664.510 Are Individual Training Accounts allowed for youth

participants?

No, however, individuals age 18 and above, who are eligible for

training services under the adult and dislocated worker programs, may

Subpart F--Summer Employment Opportunities

Sec. 664.600 Are Local Boards required to offer summer employment

opportunities in the local youth program?

(a) Yes, Local Boards are required to offer summer youth employment

opportunities that link academic and occupational learning as part of

(b) Summer youth employment must provide direct linkages to

academic and occupational learning, and may provide other elements and

strategies as appropriate to serve the needs and goals of the

participants.

will be used for summer and for year-round youth activities.

(d) The summer youth employment opportunities element is not

intended to be a stand-alone program. Local programs should integrate a

youth's participation in that element into a comprehensive strategy for

addressing the youth's employment and training needs. Youths who

participate in summer employment opportunities must be provided with a

minimum of twelve months of followup services, as required in

Sec. 664.450. (WIA sec. 129(c)(2)(C).)

Sec. 664.610 How is the summer employment opportunities element

administered?

Chief elected officials and Local Boards are responsible for

ensuring that the local youth program provides summer employment

opportunities to youth. The chief elected officials (which may include

local government units operating as a consortium) are the grant

recipients for local youth funds, unless another entity is chosen to be

grant recipient or fiscal agent under WIA section 117(d)(3)(B). If, in

the administration of the summer employment opportunities element of

the local youth program, providers other than the grant recipient/

fiscal agent, are used to provide summer youth employment

opportunities, these

providers must be selected by awarding a grant or contract on a

competitive basis, based on the recommendation of the youth council and

on criteria contained in the State Plan. However, the selection of

employers who are providing unsubsidized employment opportunities may

be excluded from the competitive process. (WIA sec. 129(c)(2)(C).)

Sec. 664.620 Do the core indicators described in 20 CFR 666.100(a)(3)

apply to participation in summer employment activities?

Yes, the summer employment opportunities element is one of a number

of activities authorized by the WIA youth program. WIA section

136(b)(2) (A)(ii) and(B) provides specific core indicators of

performance for youth, and requires that all participating youth be

included in the determination of whether the local levels of

performance are met. Program operators can help ensure positive

outcomes for youth participants by providing them with continuity of

services.

Subpart G--One-Stop Services to Youth

Sec. 664.700 What is the connection between the youth program and the

One-Stop service delivery system?

(a) The chief elected official (or designee, under WIA section

117(d)(3)(B)), as the local grant recipient for the youth program is a

required One-Stop partner and is subject to the requirements that apply

to such partners, described in 20 CFR part 662.

(b) In addition to the provisions of 20 CFR part 662, connections

between the youth program and the One-Stop system may include those

that facilitate:

(2) Linkages to the job market and employers;

(3) Access for eligible youth to the information and services

required in Secs. 664.400 and 664.410; and

(4) Other activities designed to achieve the purposes of the youth

program and youth activities as described in WIA section 129(a). (WIA

secs. 121(b)(1)(B)(i); 129.)

Sec. 664.710 Do Local Boards have the flexibility to offer services to

area youth who are not eligible under the youth program through the

One-Stop centers?

Yes, however, One-Stop services for non-eligible youth must be

funded by programs that are authorized to provide services to such

youth. For example, basic labor exchange services under the Wagner-

Peyser Act may be provided to any youth.

Subpart H--Youth Opportunity Grants

Sec. 664.800 How are the recipients of Youth Opportunity Grants

selected?

(a) Youth Opportunity Grants are awarded through a competitive

selection process. The Secretary establishes appropriate application

procedures, selection criteria, and an approval process for awarding

Youth Opportunity Grants to applicants which can accomplish the purpose

of the Act and use available funds in an effective manner in the

Solicitation for Grant Applications announcing the competition.

(b) The Secretary distributes grants equitably among urban and

rural areas by taking into consideration such factors as the following:

(1) The poverty rate in urban and rural communities;

(2) The number of people in poverty in urban and rural communities;

and

(3) The quality of proposals received. (WIA sec.169(a) and (e).)

Sec. 664.810 How does a Local Board or other entity become eligible to

receive a Youth Opportunity Grant?

(a) A Local Board is eligible to receive a Youth Opportunity Grant

if it serves a community that:

(1) Has been designated as an empowerment zone (EZ) or enterprise

community (EC) under section 1391 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986;

169 (d)(2)(B). (WIA sec. 169(c) and (d).)

Sec. 664.820 Who is eligible to receive services under Youth

Opportunity Grants?

All individuals ages 14 through 21 who reside in the community

identified in the grant are eligible to receive services under the

grant. (WIA sec. 169(a).)

determined?

(a) The Secretary negotiates performance measures, including

appropriate performance levels for each indicator, with each selected

grantee, based on information contained in the application.

(b) Performance indicators for the measures negotiated under Youth

Opportunity Grants are the indicators of performance provided in WIA

sections 136(b)(2)(A) and (B). (WIA sec. 169(f).).
