The LEAD Center, funded by the US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Policy, is hosting a four-part webinar series titled “WIOA From a Disability Perspective.”
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunities Act (WIOA) places expanded emphasis on funding activities for youth, including out-of-school youth and youth with disabilities. WIOA also amends the Rehabilitation Act requiring VR agencies to collaborate with local education agencies to improve coordination of pre-employment transition services to students with disabilities.
Join this webinar to learn more about cross-system collaboration and WIOA opportunities to support career counseling, skills training, job exploration, leadership development, and financial literacy education for youth with and without disabilities.
This is the third of a four-part webinar series. After registering for this webinar, be sure to view the previous webinar’s archive and register for the remaining webinars in the series – space is limited:
- Part One Archive – WIOA from a Disability Perspective: An Overview
- Part Two Archive – WIOA and the Unified State Planning Process
- Part Four: September 24, 2015 – Section 188, the Nondiscrimination Provisions of WIOA

I attended recent conference and it was awesome! i am interested in joining the Employment Committee because I am an advocate for the “Employment First” movement and believe NCIL needs to push for it at the National level. Please let me know how to join this committee. Thanks Ed Turner.
Hi Ed. Great – I’ll follow up with you by email to connect you with the Subcommittee.
