Organizational Author(s): U.S. Departments of Labor & Education

A part of the Enough is Known for Action Series, this technical assistance document focused on justice-involved youth is part of a series of resources the U.S. Departments of Labor and Education (Departments) developed to provide strategies and examples of State and local partnerships that facilitate the reengagement of out-of-school youth.

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.
