Focusing on youth involved with the juvenile justice system, this document builds on the preceding WIOA technical assistance document that outlines ways workforce development boards (WDBs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and community agencies, such as the State Vocational Rehabilitation agency can collaboratively reengage at-risk and out-of-school youth.
