Troubled teens may need some guidance and support to get them through to adulthood. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) provides funds to states and local communities to provide their 14-21 year olds with many opportunities. The program targets youth who are low income, basic skills deficient, drop outs, homeless, a parent or offender that requires additional help in completing their educational program or hold employment. Local Workforce Investment Boards provide eligible youth the following services: tutoring, study skill training, dropout prevention, summer employment opportunities and occupational skill training. The Department of Labor, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, also administers the Going Home: Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative help violent offenders re-enter their communities through job placement and security.
