The Trident Workforce Investment Board receives funds from the U. S. Department of Labor to operate a systematic Out –of- School Youth program in accordance with Title I of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. The purpose of this RFP is to solicit a provider or providers to deliver WIA services to youth ages 16-21 in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties.
The intent of WIA with respect to youth services is to implement a systematic approach that offers a broad range of coordinated services. Such offerings include opportunities for assistance in both academic and occupational learning, developing leadership skills, and preparing for further education, additional training, and eventual employment. Rather than supporting separate categorical programs, the youth regulations are written to facilitate the provision of a menu of varied services that may be provided in combination or alone at different times during a youth’s development.
Priority will be given to proposals that clearly demonstrate the coordination and use of community resources outside WIA to provide the menu of services needed to help youth succeed.
All proposals must be received no later than 4:00 p.m. EST on May 18, 2005.
Proposals may be mailed or hand delivered to:
