WIA Youth Program
Fox Valley Workforce Development Board (FVWDB), through cooperation with its partners, provides youth within our six counties an opportunity to participate in the WIA Youth Program. The Program has many benefits. Participants gain valuable work experience, have access to career exploration opportunities, and gain resources for further academic development such as completing high school or obtaining a GED/HSED, advanced training, and enrollment into post secondary education. They also learn about the resources that the community and the Workforce Development Centers have to offer.
