<br />9A <br />Page 16 <br /> <br />In California the grant funds have been distributed by a pre-determined formula through LWIA. <br /> <br />WIA youth funds provide economically disadvantaged youth with training and other services to <br />provide them with the skills necessary to obtain unsubsidized employment, complete secondary <br />or post-secondary education, enter the military service, or enroll in a qualified apprenticeship <br />program. The $415 million nearly doubles the amount of WIA funds the federal government has <br />allocated to California in the current fiscal year. The program is available to low-income youth, <br />between the ages of 14 and 24. <br /> <br />Cities are encouraged to contact their LWIA to offer assistance and help coordinate on work sites. <br />Access a list of these at http://www.edd.ca.aov/JobsandTraininqfReaionaIAdvisorListina.htm. <br /> <br />For more information, consult the May 22 update of the League's City Funding Book (available at <br />www.cacities.ora/federalstimulus ). <br /> <br />Registration Open for the 2009 League Annual Conference <br /> <br />It's time to register for the 2009 League Annual Conference.
