Follow-up
services, one of the 14 program elements for the WIOA youth program, are critical
services provided following a youth’s exit from the program. The goal of follow-up services is to help
ensure that youth are successful in employment and/or postsecondary education
and training. Follow-up services may
include regular contact with a youth participant's employer, including
assistance in addressing work-related problems that arise.
Check out the resources below for information and ideas on providing follow-up
services to youth. Many of these
resources come from other programs, but are relevant for the WIOA youth program.
