c. 4. Provide the Language Contained in the State Policy for “requiring Additional Assistance to Enter or Complete an Educational Program, or to Secure and Hold Employment” Criterion for Out-of-school Youth Specified in WIOA Section 129(a)(1)(b)(iii)(viii) and for “requiring Additional Assistance to Complete an Education Program, or to Secure and Hold Employment” Criterion for In- School Youth Specified in WIOA Section 129(a)(1)(c)(iv)(vii).

Current Narrative:

Below is the language that has been used for years. The definition can be found in our Youth Eligibility Documentation policy

(I) an individual (including a youth with a disability) who requires additional assistance to complete an educational program, or to secure and hold employment (see definition below). [Act 101(13)]

A youth who requires additIonal assistance to complete school is defined by the Delaware Workforce DEVELOPMENT Board as:

  • An individual whose educational level is two or more grade levels below the grade level appropriate to the age of the individual
  • An individual identified as at risk in *TEGL 03-04 & TEGL 28-05 not specifically identified in Section 101 (13) (c) including youth at risk of dropping out, dropouts, aging out of foster care, court involved youth, children of incarcerated parents, migrants, Indian and Native American youth and youth with disabilities.

*When I googled both TEGL’s referenced above their Status reads Cancelled and WIOA Operating Guidance reads None.
