Summary
Provide Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Youth Stand Alone Services specifically focused on a medical career pathway that leads to a self-sufficient wage for a single person in the East Texas Workforce Development Area as listed on the Self Sufficiency Level chart for East Texas. The proposed program must provide a comprehensive training pipeline designed for youth who either possess no prior skills or who have some relevant experience but are not currently earning a self-sufficient wage. The program should deliver foundational skill development, industry-recognized medical training, and clearly defined career pathways that lead to credentials and employment in medical occupations paying a self-sufficient wage. Services must support participants from initial enrollment through training completion, credential attainment, and job placement in roles that offer long-term career growth and economic stability.
